I admit I am among the fans who always thought it was a mistake to have the Empire only starting to build the second Death Star after the destruction of the first,. It just seemed so rushed and a stretch to the point of being unbelievable to me. But this thread has made me think twice about that. I’m still not overly fond of the idea, but can see why others think it is a reasonable time frame.
And I’d certainly love to see a mini series or theatrical film, even in animation, on the building of it, along the lines of what has mentioned in here. In an ideal world, made by the people making Andor, some 4/5 years in the future.
