And I know that it might seem out of place for a Star Wars film, but preface the Executor scene with text saying "Ten Years Later". The idea of the Emperor building a new ship and handing out new uniforms so quickly seems ridiculous, plus it makes it look like it takes less time for the Death Star to be built (which was another major complaint I've heard.)
Flashbacks and this type of text is too cheap for starwars. Even it might work it was never used and it will look like an ordinary film that wants to fall into clishes. And dont start about clishes in PT right? ;)
Still since in starwars universe we always see something that is already built and its there we can always assume that palpatine creates super-weapons in outside the galaxy(lol) so nobody will notice him while he wastes his time into the senate.
Hell if we noticed that 9 months passed in ROTS. I still believe that specific cuts and fades can do that more well.
