The empire enslaved the wookies and other species to build their first death star and the second. We know the first one was still being worked on so contractors and other non empire people were on it, and the second one was still under main construction so it was full of slaves and workers. The death toll had to be in the millions given the size of the stations.

Exactly, the first time constructing the Death Star, the majority of the time could have been spent developing and/or perfecting the technology required for the Death Star's weaponry. Once the Empire had that down, it was probably smooth sailing from there.

Similar to henry fords production line. Once you know what you need and what works and doesnt work it will cut production time way down.

The Clone Wars just keeps getting better and better.
