    It looks flat to me. I even turned my phone sideways and everything - nothing stuck out, either up or down.

    Oh wait Obi Wan, that’s no space station “star” (death or otherwise), that looks like some kind of small moon!

    Obi-Wan said “That’s no moon… because it’s a flat disc!” but they edited it out because they didn’t want people to know the truth!

      Definitely would have saved on construction and maintenance cost to make it out of flat, interchangeable sheets.
