I don’t know how much time the DS needs between shots. Might be a day to recharge that thing
That certainly was not the case in ROTJ, but who knows, maybe technology advanced in four years from “takes a day to recharge” to “takes moments to recharge even when the darn thing is only halfway built.” True, this is a universe that had no significant technological development for thousands of years, but you never know.
Death Star 1 took 1 day to recharge Death star II took 3 minutes
Death Star II was also only firing at the Mon Cal Starcruisers. Not as much energy used.
