[Star Wars] What would happen if the Death Star was fired into a star/sun?

Would the star explode shooting balls of plasma everywhere? Would the star just absorb the laser? If the Imperials really wanted to devastate a system, could they actually disrupt a star with their "Death Star?"

The Death Star would have done fuck-all to a star. Not nearly enough energy available to damage something of that size.

Now, gas giants are another matter. Even the Death Star scientists weren't sure *what* would happen if the superlaser was used on, say, Yavin... which is precisely why the station had to orbit the planet to come into range of the much-smaller, terrestrial fourth moon.

If the Death Star had been around longer, its effect on a gas giant surely would have been tested.
