Better than nuclear weapon, no nasty fall out. Better than death star, you still have a planet afterwards.

If they had made the death star bigger, they could have done this tbh.

Wouldn't moving the death star closer to the sun sort that out ?

Closer to the star would only help if the star's size was similar to the death star. And if the death star was made larger then it wouldn't be mistaken for a small moon.
