I think it then makes the finale seem less believable if you show that sort of firepower in ANH.

This is a good point. But I bet Adywan has already thought of it. Besides, we don't really know if Adywan has anything special planned for the attack on the Death Star. He did say he wanted to keep the "surprise" of this edit from us if possible. So I suggest we not push the issue too much, because I want all the sweet surprises!

BTW, this planet could be Endor. Maybe that's the official "secret" construction site of all Death Stars.

EDIT: I didn't see Adywan's last two responses before posting this.
