Is Mimas a hollow planet? The density ratio is interesting.

Subject: Saturn Moon Mimas & 'Deathstar'?
From our series 'How Did They Know It, And When?'
Do you know, if there are any pictures of Saturn moon Mimas and
its crater Herrschel before the ones from Voyager 1 in 1980 and
before Star Wars from 1977? I guess not!
Look at this striking similarity between the Death Star (120 km
diameter) from Star Wars and Mimas (392 km):

Also note, the latitude of the reflector on the Death Star. It is
precisely at "Hoagland-Coordinate" 19.47°N!
And not to forget the very low density of Mimas. It is with 1.17
g/cm^2 just slightly over Water, so it could be made of a heavy
material like metal or glass and hollow inside.
I do not buy the explanation of astronomers, that it is made
completely out of water ice. Imagine a snowball hit by an object
which could produce such a crater as Herrschel. It would simply
burst in pieces.
