Why does this lamp make people think of the death star? Me and my wife bought it ten years ago because of the cool mechanism and immediately started calling it the death star, but I struggle to see what the resemblance really is.
- It's spherical
- The pattern of the tiles slightly resembles the pattern on the death star
- When you open it, it looks like it "explodes", like every proper death star eventually does
As an amusing side note, iOS autocapitalises “Death Star”.
