The Death Star was bigger overall. That thing was supposed to be the size of a small moon, and it surely looks like it. The Star Forge looked smaller, though it made up for that in the "excess mass" department with it's side-mounted "legs".

I just kinda figured that because it was mentioned that the death star was "the size of a small moon" that it would be the bigger of the two, But when I think of it, in the cut scene before you crash on the surface of the unknown world it looks to be almost the same size as the star below it so who knows maybe the star forge is the bigger. -------------------- "The only difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits!" - Albert Einstein.

That is a classic case of 'artistic license'. The Star Forge only appears to be the same size as the sun. That is for our benefit as a viewer not for accurate scale.

No, the Star Forge is not the same size of a sun. You can tell it so when the camera pans from the sun to the Star Forge in a cutscene.

It looks to be roughly the same size as the Death Star. At least within an order of magnitude

I think it's way bigger then the death star. In the cuscene u can see it in comparison to a star, though a tiny speck in comparison, the fact that u can see it at such range in comparison to a star means it is massive. I think they weren't all too conscerned with scale while making the cutscenes though, the size seems to change with each cutscene. Though I'm going with the one where it is compared to a star.

Speaking of which, wouldn't building a factory right over a star just get you lots of melted ships?

Yep, the Death Star was "the size of a small moon"
For the people that are saying that the are the same size you guys might need your eyes checked or something. As you can clearly see the Star forge is extreamly larger, (unless the Ratakan sun was a dwarf star) Planets are by no means as large as a star, not to mention "small moon" This assumution is using planatey scale.......... |
