There are no story telling problems. It is all in your mind my friend.the fact Death Star 2.0 exists
That’s the most stupid complaint about ROTJ ever. The fact that Death Star 2.0 exists is a good story telling as it follows a basic logic. When IJN sunk USN aircraft carriers during the initial stages of Pacific War, did USN stop building aircraft carrier? No… they built newer and bigger ones.
It took 20 years to build the first Death Star, and then they build a new one in only 3 years. That’s kinda silly. It could’ve been remedied if at the end of RotS they had two Death Stars, one less finished than the other.
I really don’t want to sound condescending, but is it really difficult to make a very minimal thinking effort to connect the obvious dots?

First death star was built under the “transition” era. Some of the republic’s political and bureaucratic elements still existed, therefore you can imagine it would be harder to allocate resources into such project. In ANH, all that elements were cleansed and Emperor could do whatever he wanted and therefore such projects could get extreme priority.

If you were an engineer you would know that when you are building something for the first time, it takes a lot of correction, revisions, adjustments, etc. When you are building it for the second time, you have the experience and things go much easier and faster.

It took 4 years not 3 years to be exact. From the model used in the film it is pretty clear that the thing was half-finished at best (I would say even 1/3 finsihed).
