Your description of ROTJ as 'Star Wars: The Greatist Hits' is spot on Bingo, it would be great to break the formula that Lucas uses (although 'last movie there was one, this movie there'll be two!' falls into his film making formula also).
Adding a second Death Star would radically change the movie, but how could th rest of the movie tie together, new elements would need filmed including Ackbar & Lando's reaction. Will there be a decision for a second DS attack run, if so would this not be confusing for the viewer, Lando's DS Attack run, Luke's battle in the tower, Han & Leia's Endor adventure with the Ewoks, then _____?'s attack on the other Death Star.
Maybe thats why Lucas dropped the 2 DS scenario.

That's why we need FIVE death stars!! You may doubt if it was a trap before, but when the main death star opens and other death stars start unfolding like Russian dolls, then you know it is a trap.

I don't know if I can go on knowing I'll never see this.

I'd only appreciate it if for each one, Ackbar yelled "IT'S A TRAP!"

You would have to have the "There's too many of them!" guy punctuating each "It's a trap!"

Maybe add the "Stay On Target" guy for the win.

maybe have an older Ric Olie or his son pop in out of hyperspace as he was making his rounds to collect space garbage and after Ackbars last "Its a trap!" he says.... "Oh look, theres 5 death stars, must be a trap for the Rebels!"
Bingowings said:
I suppose we really should, "Stay On Target" but some o these ideas would be fun for the Worst Edit thread.
TV's Frink said:
I miss Ric Olie.
*sigh*
cutnshut said:
What happened to Ric Olie anyway - his posts used to crack me up - then he got possessed by some mutant? and hasnt posted for ages...

He's mainly been in off-topic lately. But not as himself.

From the Sluggo script:
1,138 INT. REBEL CRUISER BRIDGE/FALCON
Alarms are screaming and lights flashing as the huge ship changes course abruptly. Other ships in the fleet shoot by outside as the armada tries to halt its forward momentum.
ACKBAR
Take evasive action! Green Group, stick close to holding sector MV-7.A Mon Calamari controller turns away from his screen and calls out to Ackbar, quite excited. The Admiral rushes over to the controller.
CONTROLLER
Admiral, we have enemy ships in sector 47.On the screen can be seen the moon, four massive Death Stars, and the massive Imperial fleet. The fourth Death Star suddenly opens to reveal, yet another Death Star, the FIFTH of its kind. Ackbar knows what must be done. Ackbar moves to the comlink.
ACKBAR
It’s ah... *cough*!Ackbar coughs and gasps for air. Immediately one of the controllers rushes to the drinking fountain in the corner of the command center. He quickly fills up a paper Dixie cup and rushes it over to the hacking admiral.
CONTROLLER
Sir!Ackbar grabs the cup with his crusty hands and slowly drinks the water. After wiping the remainder of the water off of his lips with his sleeve, he takes a long breath.
CONTROLLER
Sir, is that better.Ackbar nods, breathing deeply.
CONTROLLER
Sir, the fleet awaits your word.Ackbar tightens his eyes in a determined gaze and crushes the paper cup in his hand. He clears his throat and leans into the comlink.
ACKBAR
It's a trap!The command center is filled with cheers and the sound of exoskeleton claw-hands 'high-fiving' each other. The controller slaps Ackbar on the back and returns to his station.
LANDO (over comlink)
...
Fighters coming in.

Of all the ideas in this thread, THIS is the one that must happen.
