There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
Where were you in '77?

What about the second Death Star?
And then it blew up.
THE END.

Wait, wrong DS, sorry.
Hey...
IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

What if they decided to build a third Death Star?
They did build a prototype Death Star. Does that count?

It would be a twist if in episode VII they did have a third death star, but failed to destroy it at the end...
We never actually saw the destruction of the Death Star in Star Tours. They launched the proton torpedoes and then immediately jumped to hyperspace. Since this was the third time 'round, you'd think the Empire learned their lesson, and perhaps that exhaust port was a dud to distract the Rebels. The real question is not if the Death Star III is still around, but where they are hiding it and when it will be unleashed upon the Galaxy???
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN!!!
Now that I wrote that silly post, the DSIII is a fine example of why I hate Leland Chee's role. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but it's like if anything ever gets mentioned in some obscure source, he gives it credibility by creating an idea around it that almost canonizes it, then some other author puts in it a book and it actually attains canon status. Clearly the Death Star III was meant to be nothing more then escapist fantasy and an opportunity for the Star Tours patrons to feel like they're actually experiencing Star Wars and not just watching it, but thanks to Mr. Chee, it's probably only a matter of time before it becomes canon. It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!
In the real world, do they ever build only one of anything? Even NASA had an extra Skylab in case the first one didn't make orbit or something.
If there was another DS, what if you could justify capturing it and using it against a bigger threat? The debate over that could tear at the new Republic's fragile seams.
Maybe they changed it since the early days of the ride, but you could see the Death Star blow up on the cockpit monitor that showed Artoo and rebel pilots.

Well, it simply seems implausible given the other Star Wars lore surrounding the events of Tours. It seems to me that people just cram in so much stuff that Luke must have been off saving the Galaxy every single day since ANH, with two vacation days a month. And in spite of the Empire's swift collapse, in too many cases it has more resources at its disposal than the New Republic. It just feels inconsistent and unbelievable.

Of course you are correct. I've spent many hours staring at the main video, and I forgot about the other screens :/
