Yeah, its not like they had a planet to test it on. In any case, I remember that in one draft (or maybe the novel or something like that), Palpatine ordered Jerjerrod to turn the Death Star on Endor if the shield were to be destroyed. So there.

If I remember correctly, this was in the novel, that once the shields on the Death Star go down, Jerjerrod decides to blow up Endor, but the Death Star is destroyed before the gun can charge up for the blast.
The problem with the Death Star in Episode 3 is that is isn't sure when the scene takes place. There are several explanations I've heard, one being that the Death Star in 3 is actually the Seperatists' version of the Death Star that was started during the clone wars, but scrapped by the empire. And then there was the Death Star prototype that was talked about in the Jedi Academy Trilogy, I think. But there is still the question of why it took 20 years to build the Death Star in ANH, but less than 4 for the Death Star in ROTJ. Design issues maybe? The real answer is yet another problem with the prequels, but oh well.
