Remember, this is the perfect opportunity to sway the votes of those who are thus far undecided.  I have an item I wish to push a bit: those darn Victory star destroyers.  Heck, even if we don't include those, it makes more sense for the Empire to use support craft.  In spite of the US's powerful naval aircraft carriers, they always travel with several support craft to perform different roles.  To simply have the Executor and several star destroyers overlooks the fact that other ships might do better at taking on smaller craft or harassing capital ships.  To me it is logical, and those who followed this idea first at at the ESB/ROTJ Wishlist thread know that I love the Victories.  Okay, I know they're older according to Star Wars lore, but they are still star destroyers, justifying Lando's, "I wonder what those star destroyers are waiting for."  And they could act as ideal support craft.  They were supposed to be capable of atmospheric travel, so if we really wanted to get crazy, they could even pursue some fighters into the atmosphere of Endor.  These are just thoughts, but I have a feeling I'm going to be outvoted on this one :)
