it was an intimidating name that implied they destroyed stars

it wasn't until years later it occurred to me that they meant "destroyer" as in ship classification
i.e. cruiser, frigate, dreadnought and so forth

....yeah

I thought it was just a cool name. Never realized the connection to naval ships until this topic.

George Lucas loved lifting things straight out of WW2.

The Military Vessel type is just a straight lift out of WW2 with the "Star" prefix slapped on each vessel class.

I think the power to blow up stars has only ever been in the Expanded Universe. And I am nkt even sure it happened, but I vaguely think I remember it being mentioned somewhere

I've always loved their simplistic but intimidating design. Still one of my favorite star ships from any sci-fi media.
