Any chance you know the canon explanation of how they counteract the gravity generated by the Deathstar's mass?

The gravity is negligible. The official sizes of the Death Stars have been 120 - 900 km in diameter according to rebel scale. For comparison, Earths moon is ≈3500~~0~~ km in Idiameter, and its gravity is 1/6 of earth’s. On top of that, the Death Stars are mostly hallow, being a metal framework, instead of solid rock.

the Death Stars are mostly hallow

Our Death Star, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name,

Thy empire come, thy will be done,

On Alderaan as it is in heaven,

Give us this day our daily rations,

And forgive us our rebellion,

As we forgive those who rebel against us,

And lead us not to the light side,

But deliver us from the Jedi,

For thine is the empire, and the unlimited power, and the dark side forever,

Amen

If Lemmy had gold, I'd give it to you.
