yeah, i didnt think to much about it, i posted that idea as a real rough overview...I guess my thought was just that using the first death star at the end would give it a more complete look, thus the appearance of work actually getting completed on it by the time the rebels located it. So yeah, some combination of the two battles would probably work.

The problem i have with this second death star is that they could fly through the whole thing. the first one needed a force guided shot of a proton torpedo to go into a 2 meter wide hole to set off a chain reaction to destroy it. the second one was, fly into it (with the falcon to boot) and just shoot the main reactor. what seems more vunerable to you? while yes it was fairly uncompleted, they flew 'straight through' the DSII. and since only one 'half' was not built, that means their had to be an opening for them to fly into/out of on both sides.
