Awesome! This is so cool that y'all are creating new shots to bridge scenes. You guys should let TJ out of his box more often

I agree that something should be done to make the Death Star look different if it's used for ESB - maybe something as simple as using photoshop to cut away a little more. But as to why the Death Star might not be completed by the time of ROTJ, well, the first DS was started in ROTS, and wasn't completed until 18 years later in ANH. I figure the second Death Star should take a long time to build as well - at least 5 years.
"ANH seems to be the only movie that doesn't have any kind of hologram!" You may be forgetting one little scene in Ben's hut. Aside from the coolness factor of Tarkin talking to a hologram, would this have any payoff plot-wise?
