Meaning

Admonish

Mnemonic

If you try to say something to the Death Star, it would only admonish you. It was made to destroy planets, after all, so I don't know why you'd expect it to have anything nice to say. It just admonishes you about everything you've ever done wrong until you can't stop crying.

Imagine being admonished by the Death Star. It's hovering above you, giant and round, just yelling at you about everything you've ever messed up. It's really awful being yelled at. But the Death Star doing it is particularly scary and embarrassing.

Mnemonic

Right now you're being admonished about living in a yurt (ゆ). The Death Star bellows, "What, am I too big and safe for you? I'm easy to move too, you know. You're a disgrace! You should be ashamed!"

Imagine sitting in your yurt, the home you love, but you can still hear the admonishments from the Death Star in your ears. You feel... bad.
