Because it.. kind of looks like the death star?
replyI think it’s the angular shapes on a globe that triggers that.

Three simple reasons:
reply- 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
I find your comment very confusing! You don’t understand why people call it the Death Star but as soon as you got the lamp you started calling it the Death Star but you struggle to see the resemblance? Surely you’ve answered your own question…?!
replyNo. This is a case where I am confused by my own behaviour as well! Clearly there is something about it but it's not something I'm conscious about.
replyI always called it DustStar because God damn does it collect dust.
replyAs others have said, I think it’s because it looks like the Death Star. I don’t even know Star Wars and I googled what the Death Star looks like and immediately thought “oh, right, this is why people call it the Death Star lamp…”
replyAs an amusing side note, iOS autocapitalises “Death Star”.
Because it looks like the Death Star.
replyThe question is why all see the same and not just OP
