In fairness, this weakness was far less “critical” than in the OT. In TFA they had to infiltrate the base and plant explosives inside to allow access for the rebels. Far less “critical” a weakness than an open exhaust port leading to the core.

True, but it still got destroyed really quickly and I just can’t believe that there was actually another superweapon for the 3rd time in 4 movies. I mean one of the main reasons I rank ROTJ lower than the other movies in the OT is because of the 2nd death star, that was unoriginal enough. I never thought they’d make ANOTHER one.
