Two ideas popped into my head today in regards to ROTJ.
The first one was as well as projecting the energy shield the forest moon could also project a giant hologram of the incomplete sections of the Death Star.
When the main weapon fires up the power drain could drop the hologram and reveal the Death Star as literally complete (not just the weapon but the whole thing) and twice the size.
It would be a very visual metaphor for just how far into the do-do the fleet have flown.
On the other end of the spectrum I thought it might be interesting to have hardly any Death Star at all, only a smaller version superweapon.
Which would demonstrate that the Emperor's might is mostly a sham (Wizard Of Oz style).
That would make the Endor battle more believable as a near end point in the War.
The Empire had already over stretched itself but had thrown everything in on one ambush gambit which fails.
Two words for your two ideas: HELL and YEAH
