"Here are some images of MPC/AMT Star Destroyer from Star Wars.I have to say that this kit in its original form isn't much to say the least. However with a bit of greebling and some lights one can turn out a fine example…"

They couldn't really destroy stars though could they?

I remember when these ships were called "Battlecruisers" and NOT the ominous sounding "Star Destroyers". I agree with you saltflats1929- if these ships were capable of destroying stars as their name implies, then why would the Galactic Empire need a Death Star? Anyone have an explanation for that? George Lucas, where are you?

Presumably the name was used in the Empire Strikes Back just because sombody liked the sound of it.
Ironically in the EU they did eventually feature a weapon called a Sun Crusher which actually did destroy stars.
It was tiny by comparison.

Perhaps they are just destroyers that sail among the stars.

Don't ask Lucas or there might be anouther directors cut.

The first one I got as a kid (die-cast, with a small plastic tantive IV in the main bay) was just called "Imperial Cruiser".
