Star Wars has finally revealed the real reason the first Death Star took 20 years to build. The Star Wars prequel trilogy revealed that the origin of the Death Star can be found back before the Clone Wars even began. Republic forces retrieved the first Death Star plans after the Battle of Geonosis; according to James Luceno's novel Catalyst, Palpatine used fear of a Separatist superweapon to persuade the Republic to begin construction.
The superstructure was almost finished by the time of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. One of the core problems, though, lay in the fact the Death Star's superlaser used untested technology. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story revealed it was a scientist named Galen Erso who figured out how to use kyber crystals to power the superlaser, but he also sabotaged it. But that wasn't the only reason the Death Star construction took so long - because Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3 may have finally revealed the truth
