Ok I'm watching this for the first time, but it seems inefficient for the empire to build these massive prisons to build such simple machines. I mean the Prisons themselves are massive undertakings: building 7 of them seems more expensive than building the DS. I get the "Empire is Bad" but there are moments when the show turns the "bad" way out of proportion. I mean I get that Nazi work camps were also inefficient: but those camps were hastily put up with little resources. Even assuming no morality, why waste so much resources to build this?
