the redundency never really bothered me...i mean now i look at it and am like, the Empire is pretty stupid...think they could have come up with something better except..."damn, they blew up our 'invincible' battle station...what will we do?" "I know we can build a new one that is more vunerable." "Why, thats just crazy enough that it might work...get right on it"

but i think thats an interesting idea what you have in mind...is there anyway you can make it one like maybe 4-6 hour movie? maybe it starts off with the start of episode IV, replace the death star with the ROTJ version, can still have alderaan get blown up maybe (this part i would need to think about) after they save Leia they run to hoth, where the empire chases them, basically ESB happens, beginning of Jedi happens, you wanted to remove the ewoks you said (which i dont mind them, but only one 'destruction of the DS' can be used anyway) so then it goes to the ANH death star fight/ending. all done as one continuous cut/movie

would be pretty different, would prob get a lot of flack from some people if you did that, but i think it would be interesting to see.
