After seeing this and the secession petitions, I find two ways to look at this. On the negative side, we have discovered a way to make the President waste his time on absolute foolishness if enough people come together.

If we spend the 850 quadrillion dollars to build it, I hope we spring for shielding around the exhaust ports.
thats true it only needs to be the size of a wamp rat (2 meters), which is way too small for anyone to bullseye, especially after an arduous trench run, and the requirement that only a proton torpedo could do any damage. besides, the rebels dont have any good pilots besides porkins
that true i feel like my poor understanding of the death star defenses might result in a chain reaction that destroys the the whole station, even though it is fully operational. but i really dont think anyone can hit a target the size of the wamp rats in beggars canyon, because thats how big the port is. and even if they could hit it, they probably wont get a clear shot without help from a ship as fast as the falcon, and of course solo is the pilot of that, and he only cares about himself.
