I never said we knew a second death star was being built IN ESB . I said we knew one was being built from the events told in ROTJ, and while I agree that it never came out of nowhere it was however revealed to the audience out of nowhere. Basically telling the audience, guess what we we working on during the events of ESB. It serves as a secret plot device, revealed in the last act. It was how ROTJ as written if you step back and think about it.
