I always wish that in ROTS they would have shown 2 death stars being built. So it would make it seem that maybe after 5-10 years, they decided on just finishing one to get in up and working, which would leave it plausable for them after the first was blown up to continue on an already built second one.

Now, I just wacthed episode 3 with the comentaries on, and I don't belive I heard that, but maybe I got distracted for a while. I'll watch it again later.
Now, I don't belive they would build 2 Death Stars 3 or 4 years after each other, because what is the point? Had they destroyed the rebel base at the battle of Yavin, would there really be the need of a second Death Star? It would almost never be used, as it's main porpouse was to spread fear of such weapon, not actually go around blowing up planets.
