Ok, so it’s not the moon you’re thinking of, but Saturn’s Mimas does bear a striking resemblance to the Death Star nonetheless. This photo was taken by Cassini “detailing the massive 88-MILE wide crater on the moon’s surface.”

The incredible Herschel Crater spans about one-third of the entire moon’s width…the images revealed the crater’s walls are three miles high and parts of the floor are six miles deep.

Aside from the giant AT-AT Walker, Hasbro also unveiled a remote-controlled Millennium Falcon at Toy Fair 2010. At $50, it measures 11 inches long by 8 inches wide and actually flys quite well, as you’ll see after the break. Availability has not yet been announced.

I don’t know about you, but the first thing I’d do is set up some crude household obstacle course for it, and then joke about how it can get through the Kitchen Run in 12 parsecs.
