looking at the list of deaths wiki's star wars kill count page is frankly hilarious. the first three, even four, are unsurprising.
there's obviously armitage hux with his lovely 155 billion (which damn, i didn't know it was that much, i'd expected like half that). then there's darth nihilus, whom i had not heard about, as im not up to date with legends, at 6 billion. and then there's tarkin with the death star at 2 billion. those are the big three with their absurdly but unsurprisingly high numbers
after that there's krennic with 11 million and then...
get this...
ahsoka tano with 4 million...
there were apparently 3.5 million droids in the factory her and barriss blew up, who all count. that absolute icon killed 3.5 million droids at age 14
barriss, my dear, is of course right after her with the 3.5 million. then wrecker with 2.5 million and lando with 1.8 million.
and next is luke skywalker, because he blew up the death star and killed 1.6 million people with it. again, a way higher number than id expected but i also live in a country with a population less than that so i have a really hard time imagining that amount of people. still, it's insane
and after that we have count dooku with a slightly lower number of 1.5 million. that one's, again, not surprising and in this case id even expected more
the most shocking thing to me is actually the fact that anakin skywalker, darth vader, is in 14th place. apparently he killed only 150k people on screen. i mean we all know his kill count is probably in the millions by the end of his life but damn, 150k is a shockingly low number considering who he is and what he's done. and most of that is droids anyway
(rex, holdo, hardcase, grievous, rey and saw gerrera are other notable characters in the top 20)

wasn’t Thrawn’s whole thing that he thought the Death Star was dumb as shit, a waste of resources and funding that could have been going into proper defensive fleets or whatever. like even if he is going to be part of this shadow council and work for the growing First Order, how long will it be until someone brings up Starkiller (or even more likely he just figures it out himself) and he’s like yeah okay fuck this actually

I can't believe this never occurred to me
"The Strongest Stars have hearts of Kyber"
What happened when Starkiller base-formerly Ilum, a world rich in Kyber crystals, was destroyed?
It became a Star
Extra poetic considering context
Ilum was the world where the Jedi got the crystals to forge the weapons they used to defend light and life in the galaxy
The forces of the dark side (the empire/first order) violated and perverted Ilum, turning into a weapon that took lives by the billions and literally drained light from the universe
But with starkiller's destruction, Ilum was reincarnated, so to speak, it will sadly never be what it once was, such is the nature of the dark side, it twists, perverts, and disfigures what it touches, you can come back from it, but never as you were, and such is the unfortunate case with Ilum, but as a Star, Ilum takes on a new role, stars are the source of light
And from Light, comes Life

Hux got mad at me for taking a TIE fighter out yesterday without permission.
I was like, "Bruh. I'm literally the maintenance guy. You know I'm going to bring it back in excellent condition."
He was like, "I'm not worried about you crashing it. The problem is that the last time a stormtrooper who we thought was completely loyal to the First Order stole a TIE fighter, he ended up joining the Resistance. The next thing we knew, Starkiller base was blown up and Palpatine had somehow returned. It was a bad experience all around and one I'd rather not repeat."
Ugh. There goes FN-2187 ruining fun for everybody.

It's Karma
Day 2 of MakeKyluxSuffer (@makekyluxsuffer) - Blood | Bruises | ‘You’re Hurting Me.’
---------------------------------
“Honey. Please stay awake.” Hux said shaking Kylo. The transport to get off the collapsing base was on the way. Kylo only had to hold on until the medics could get there. 
Kylo groaned as Hux applied pressure on his wound. “I’m sorry.” He whispered, looking up at his boyfriend. “You better be.” Hux joked. 
“No,” he said raising his hand to touch Hux’s check “It’s Kama.” 
“And why is it Kama?” Hux asked, he could hear the transport landing close by. “I killed him. I killed my dad. And then I went after the girl and...” 
“Excuse me General. You're going to have to move so we can get him on a stretcher.” Hux followed as Kylo was brought on board the transport and taken to the medical centre in the back.  
Hux sat in the seat, looking at his hands.  
He didn’t care for the planet blowing up behind him. 
All he could focus on was the blood on his hands. 
“General.” 
Hux looked at the doctor. “He’s going to need more medication when we get to the finalizer. But other than that he should be okay.” Hux nodded, unable to find words. “Are you okay sir? That’s quite a lot of blood.” Hux looked back down at his hands. 
“It’s not my blood.”

Being a Star Wars original trilogy fan, I was not overly invested in the sequel trilogy until the very end of it, when the muse perked up and went Hey! and thereby diverted my life (again). 
Still, I was not pleased when Han Solo got killed off.  I understood the reasons for it, thematic and plotwise and real life, but I didn’t like it. 
Well, one of the primary uses of fanfic is to fix canon.  This isn’t a story, it’s just a scrap of idea.  Someday I might take it further. 
****************
The Empire, in its heyday, ran on some of the galaxy’s most advanced technologies.  The Death Stars, despite the humiliation of their destruction, had been engineering marvels undreamed of by prior generations.  Massive vessels, however, required massive crews, and even then there were only so many skilled workers available. 
So the Empire did what everyone else did, and used droids to handle the endless, myriad, menial tasks of repair and maintenance.  Sturdy and tireless, they were far more efficient than weak flesh, and could be programmed at whatever intelligence level was required. 
When the First Order rose up from those cold ashes, it outstripped even the Empire’s lofty ambitions, and modified an entire planet to meet its needs.  But there was no need to relearn old lessons; the power and control structures that had honeycombed the Death Stars were easily rebuilt, piercing Ilum to bring about its transformation. 
And in those depths scurried thousands of droids, ranging from simple cleaning units all the way up to command droids that oversaw entire sections.  They spent their entire existences in the depths of Starkiller Base, making sure everything ran perfectly, and dealing with whatever problems manifested.  
This included, of course, all kinds of debris from above.  Dust, moisture, loosened bolts, scraps of cloth and paper; dropped tools, helmets, and weapons; lost, doomed insects; garbage deliberately and surreptitiously tossed by lazy troopers. 
And, occasionally, bodies.  Fortunately for the clumsy souls who lost their footing or their grips high above, the repulsor fields of the shafts slowed their falls - bringing them to an undignified hover in midair near the bottom where they could dangle until collected by whatever droid was on duty nearby. 
So the arrival of one elderly human male was not a surprise to supervising unit N13-Z2.  It sent out the usual hoverdroids to snag and propel the limp form to safety.  His unconsciousness was not unexpected either - many humans fainted on the way down - but the severe damage to his body was. 
N13-Z2 triggered the emergency protocols automatically, obedient to its programming.  The male was whisked down a corridor and into a bacta unit in short order, medical droids convening on the spot at N13’s summons.  Life hung by a thread; a consultation was held at binary speed. 
The decision to transfer the injured human offworld to a medical facility that could cope with such overwhelming trauma was not routed through Starkiller’s protocol channels - the emergency was too high-level.  The senior medical droid requisitioned a shuttle and an ensign to pilot it. 
Some hours after the shuttle lifted off, Starkiller and its attendant droids ceased to exist.  And in the resultant upheaval of the First Order, there was no one left to follow up on the patient...
