But I can't resist. If I were building a Deathstar, and wanted to have a stationary force-shield generator under me all the time, I would build it at the L5 point near a moon rotationally synchronized with its primary. This would work; the Deathstar would be in a stable orbit, and always directly 'above' the projector. Is there any evidence which would support or refute this? Does it really matter? (probably not).
