Quoted from Wikipedia -

Quote:
The first Death Star has a crew of 265,675, as well as 52,276 gunners, 607,360 troops, 30,984 stormtroopers, 42,782 ship support staff, and 180,216 pilots and support crew. Its hangars contain assault shuttles, blastboats, Strike cruisers, land vehicles, support ships, and 7,293 TIE fighters. It is also protected by 10,000 turbolaser batteries, 2,600 ion cannons, and at least 768 tractor beam projectors. Various sources state the first Death Star has a diameter between 120 and 160 kilometers. There is a broader range of figures for the second Death Star's diameter, ranging from 160 to 900 kilometers.


Also it's Darth rather than Dark.

The Executor was the first of the Executor-class Star Dreadnaught line. At 19,000 meters in length, almost twelve times the length of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer

There's been all sorts of debates over size in the SW fandom. There have been various official sources over the years providing clashing data for the regular Imperial Star Destroyer, Super Star Destroyer, Death Star, and all sorts of other pieces of kit, and that's before the meddling fans confuse up the issue. If it helps, the correct answers for those three are 'uge, bloody 'uge and effin' 'uge, respectively.

According to the Star Wars Encyclopedia, by Stephen Sansweet the for most authority on Star Wars, the Death Star is, "some 120 kilometer is diameter."  This information is corroborated in The Essential Guide To Vehicles and Vessels by Bill Smith on page 34, "At 120 kilometers in diameter, it was the size of a Class IV moon..."

Maybe the info is needed to impress a date!  
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
