Mainly because it wasn't more of the same. I think it continued the story in a logical way. If you blow up the Death Star, you do not win for good, The Empire will come after you. It tells you what happens afterwards it isn't just Episode 4 with same characters, different villain. It is a logical continuation and I think it is the one of the greatest movies ever made. Granted, I like the first one a lot but I think this one is definitely my favorite but I guess that is just my preference.

What the hell was the point of blowing up the first death star anyways??? Why did the rebels steal the plans for it??

Not having your planet blown up seems like a fairly good reason.

I can agree with you on that, it may have very well been self defense, which in a war against evil mass-murderers, self defense is totally OK and morally good, right, and just; just think about the second world war........

Yes, this is 100% exactly the entire plot of Star Wars. There is no other alternative.

No. After Alderaan was destroyed by the first death star (and despayre too, if U count the EU/the Expanded Universe)

However the empire tried to destroy Yavin IV, Endor, and Chandrila (senator mon mothma's home-planet) and the planet Mon Calamari (home to the mon calamari aliens), as self defense, a retaliation to the rebels. They destroyed 2 planets-the planets alderaan and depsayre, to test out the first death star and keep the galaxy (not just the rebels, but ordinary civilians too) in line with fear of its power. After the destruction of the first death star, the second death star was never used, or even attempted to be used, in an offensive attack/strike on an innocent civilian planet.....
