I know the criticisms of the OT prior to overwhelming critical focus on the SE's and PT was the building of two death stars in a new hope and return of the jedi. I am working on some edits and I trying to some major edits, to try and do something totally different, becuase the originals are good, magnolia's are better, and others have great ideas like trooperman, digital man, etc. So I want to do something that hasn't been done. One thing I thought about doing was merging some of the formation of the deathstar scenes from ROTJ and ANH. The ewoks are gone (completely - the building down on endor I thought about keeping as a key to put down the shields for the attack like in the original or making a rebel base that they refer to in ANH - not sure yet). I'd have to make ANH, but leave some of the Death star stuff from there until after Empire and take some of the ROTJ stuff and put it before empire. But I am trying to bridge the gap here and make it make sense. I have some ideas. But I am curious to know two things:

1. Does this bother you, having the redundancy of plot with two death stars, are you indifferent, or did you actually like that they went back and revisited this idea?

2. If you didn't like the redundancy how would you mix some scenes together (e.g. putting the awards ceremony at the end of ROTJ).
