This weakness was exploited by Luke Skywalker who piloted an X-wing down to the surface of
the Death Star, and utilizing the Force, fired two proton torpedoes down into the exhaust shaft,
destroying the Death Star entirely. This proved to be a decisive victory for the Rebel Alliance, and
not long after, thousands of star systems began to align with the Alliance. Unbeknownst to the
Rebels however, Emperor Palpatine had ordered the construction of a second Death Star only days
prior to the first’s destruction.
