It would be cool to see dozens of shuttles milling about the Death Star, but since the moon only contains the shield generator and this is operational, there shouldn’t be many craft traveling that way.

It makes me very curious, then, where and how is the Empire quickly and secretly getting all of their parts from if it weren’t from the moon? That’s why I am thinking, if Ady can and wanted to, edit the moon to have a huge mining operation there near where the generator is. This way, if the Empire is getting their parts made locally by literally dissecting this isolated moon for the resources to do so, it could help make it seem more believable for the audience how the DS is being built as quickly as it is (since that’s one of the handful of complaints about it) and more believable how the Rebels never found out about it all that while until the Emperor let it be known. There can still be some occasional shuttles coming from other places (there would have to be, if the heroes’ shuttle could at all be legit), but if all of the parts were coming from multiple other systems, instead of predominantly from the moon, I would find it hard to believe that there weren’t plenty of opportunities for Rebel sympathizers to find out and leak the info very early on in the stages. At least that’s why I’m thinking it’d be good to have this whole operation feel as isolated as possible… and so if that were to be, a string of shuttles between the DS and moon, funneled by the tear-drop-shaped shield, could work then 😃

So perhaps Tydirium is in a line of shuttles headed for the Death Star but breaks away for the moon, taking it across the path of the destroyer.

Otherwise I too like this idea!

Sure would make brainstorming easier if we knew exactly how far Ady could and is willing to go for this edit 😄
