Origin

Death Star is generally given as Sensi Star crossed with Sour Diesel, bred by a group called Team Death Star in Ohio in the early 2000s. It has only ever circulated as a clone, so there is no seed line and no single authoritative version. It has one descendant on file. What you are buying is a specific cut, and its quality is only as good as that cut's keeper.

About

Death Star is a clone-only diesel indica, better than its Star Wars name.

Team Death Star bred it in Ohio around 2001 from Sensi Star and Sour Diesel, and it has stayed a clone ever since. The nose is fuel and skunk with an earthy hash note; the onset creeps. Quality depends entirely on the cut.

The cut is everything.

What to Expect

Death Star comes on slowly and then settles heavy. Leafly's reviewers describe calm and deep relaxation as the core of it, with a mild euphoric lift, and sources note the effect creeps up rather than hitting. The delay catches people out.

The negative reviewers flag most is the sedation itself, which several list as a downside rather than the appeal. Sources warn newcomers off a big dose. Dryness barely registers, so smoke a small amount first.

Flavor and Aroma

Death Star smells pungent and sweet with skunk and diesel over earth. The flavor is earthy fuel with a dank, hash-like depth and a surprising sweetness. It tastes like its Sour Diesel side.

Terpenes Explained

Death Star's measured panel is Caryophyllene-heavy, ranging widely from about four tenths of a percent to over one, with Myrcene and Limonene the next two down.

That heavy Caryophyllene fits the peppery, diesel-hash side of the smell, and the wide range means two cuts can differ a lot. A jar with a genuine fuel-and-hash depth, not just skunk, is the one to want.

Cannabinoids and Potency

Death Star THC is reported from about 18 to 27 percent, but the lab-measured sample in our data tests under 15, so the range is unreliable. Sources still call it strong, with a creeping onset. CBD is a trace.

Death Star's tested strength runs lower than its menu range, so judge a cut by how it actually hits, not the number.
