I just had a thought which might augment the Bothan idea.

One of the major criticisms of ROTS was the long building time for the first Death Star compared to the second.

What if the Bothan information included security footage of the building of the first Death Star which after analysis showed a second Death Star at an earlier stage of construction being built along side it.

The Bothans could have followed this up by finding out it's current location and also the details of the Emperor's visit.

It's a good idea only problem with it is that the whole structure of DSII was different although I agree it was being built along side DSI...

Cant we just have the plans stolen from the shield generator on Endor and before they escape they get captured or self destruct the ship whilst being captured as I suggested... Atleast that way it involves the Shield Generator from the start... We see this as one of the goals our hereos must get to before Jabbas palace and rescuing Han then DSII later... urgghh I dunno what to do about this

it seems nobody can agree but then I think It is only a matter of time before somone sees the light and nails it... We desperatly need somthing to make the structure work properly and make the plot more cohesive in the process.

I still maintain I don't want to see Bothans only hear that they died trying to steal the plans but I don't mind seeing them try in exterior shots of a ship being destroyed...Say or any other simplistic way... Ambiguous way

Bingo-wings please could you perhaps give me your alternate take on this idea please you have a good imagination. Link Below

The main Idea was to show a failure and the empire capitalise on the situation... I think you can come up with somthing for sure The probe droids are meant to be escape pods they would need modifying obviously.
