So I've been doing a little research on star destroyers as I hope we do successfully implement another design or two into our battle. Here's some interesting info on the communications ship, which seems to be featured in the battle from a distance at least:

The communications ship was the vessel jamming the Rebels. How else would they know the shield was down without having disabled the jamming in some way? It makes sense to me. I didn't include any sort of attack on the communications vessel in this rough edit because I wasn't sure I liked how I did my little script and was trying to hurry and get everything done. However, I do think this would be a valuable inclusion to the battle.
Also, thinking about Coruscant with all this discussion, I'm starting to wonder if there is some way to include it. Problem is it doesn't seem logical for the Death Star to be anywhere nearby, and I don't think it would be realistic or suspenseful enough to set Coruscant as the center stage. I'm wondering if there is some other way to give it more screen time or inclusion...
This is basically what was planned from the lost rebel footage the attack on the communications ship.... The lines in that footage match the wookiepedia description to the T.
So they planned to do this but left it out as it meant more SFX shots, and more budget.... Hmmm it's just a question of what one looks like close up and how to execute that sequence it's somthing really for the Graphics Team to figure out.....
That means destroying another Mon Calamari Cruiser.. But thats your capital shio battle for the taking.... Lando can say "yeeha" then lol they got the puppet to do the lines instead of Lando lol
