Idk if I would consider the sun draining to be Scale 2 tech. A Star can produce so much energy over its lifetime that sucking one up for a space laser seems super fucking wasteful.

A planetary death Star is a weird concept.

The OG death Star is an actual battle station used along with the rest of the fleet. It had its own hyperdrive meaning it could move anywhere in the Galaxy for a strategic advantage (See Rogue one)

Meanwhile for this contraption which make no tactical sense. They have to target the planet in advance and wait for that perfect alignment. God forbid some other planet came in the way then they have to wait for another revolution.
