Or (and maybe this should be in radical redux), a larger weapon dish is hidden under a continent or icecap on Endor (the forest moon of) itself?

That's sort of what I was suggesting with the Arecibo/Goldeneye thing on the previous page.
I rather like the idea of the Asteroid Death Star too.
Anything to give the final film some surprises and push ROTJ away from the Star Wars : The Greatest Hits the better.
You could even have the dish on the official Death Star appear unfinished so it looks helpless but the main weapon has been moved to a different structure, with full mobility.
Changing the subject a little, while watching ESB it seemed to me that Threepio seemed very dismissive of Chewie but had a bit of a droid crush on Lando.
So if possible it might make sense if his line while approaching Jabba's palace was flipped around so he said "Chewbacca and poor Lando Calrissian never returned from that awful place".
