The Grindery is better than the Death Star

How many planet-destroying superweapons has the Galactic Empire from Star Wars built?
-Death Star I: Blown up in a chain reaction by the rebels firing proton torpedoes into a thermal exhaust port in Episode IV. I guess it was such a 1 in a million chance that I can see it being overlooked.
-Death Star II: From Episode VI, it was not even finished. SOMEONE thought it was a good idea to lure the Rebels to an unfinished Death Star, with an *external* deflector shield, which was promptly blown up. The rebels literally flew inside and blew up the main reactor. I think Palpatine may have been going senile by that point.
-Galaxy Gun: From the Dark Empire comics. Instead of a laser, shoots a nuclear warhead across the galaxy to its intended target. Which sounds great in theory as there’s less wait time, but on at least one occasion, the warhead didn’t detonate on impact due to a faulty timer, giving the rebels time to escape. Blown up when colliding with a Super Star Destroyer.
-Starkiller Base: Basically the Death Star I, but bigger in Episode VII. Like everything ripped off by JJ Abrams, it was quickly blown up, this time by the rebels shooting *external* power oscillators.
-Every Star Destroyer with Death Star-class lasers: The Rebels blow up a whole fleet of these while docked in Episode IX. They never even got to blow up a single planet, lol.
How many Grinderies did Taben build for Ghaleon in Lunar: The Silver Star? 1! It shot Vane from the sky, it didn’t have any crippling weaknesses, and still exists in Lunar 2, even if it’s been converted to a day-care center. Vane only fires back in the remake version, so don’t *fire on* me with that. Taben’s a brilliant engineer. I rest my case, the Grindery is better than the Death Star(s) .
