I think it would be okay to show DS2 in ESB, but if and only if

1. The scene is placed at the very end of the film (probably after the scene with Lando in the Falcon and Luke's new hand, but before could be made to work too),

2. The scene (at least in part) utilises the footage from the ROTS finale with Tarkin 'shopped out, with perhaps an establishing shot over Endor to set it off from the preceding scene with Vader, and

3. Said footage is subsequently cut from Adywan's ROTS Revisited edit.

I think the end of ESB is much better than the end of ROTS to show a cliffhanger Death Star, for two reasons: How did they take 19 years to build DS1 but only 3 to have DS2, a bigger station, mostly built and fully functional? Also, the inclusion of DS1 in ROTS detracts from the cliffhanger, at least if you're watching them in story order, whereas in ESB it could enhance it.

I'm not really fussed about the inclusion of the scene in ESB — but I do think it makes much more sense here than in ROTS and would like to see it cut from ROTS when it comes to that.
