The Death Star in ROTS?

Do you think we are going to see any mention of the Death Star in Episode III like we did in AOTC, or maybe a quick shot of the Death Star being built?

Spoiler:
Rumor has it we see Darth Vader, Palpatine and captain Tarkin watching the beginning stages of the Death Star

Its not a rumor its true we will see it being built. i got a box of cheese nips that says mustufar is the industrial planet that makes the materials for the deathstar.

YUp, Death Star is in from all accounts

Cheese nips???

I am still hoping that this is a false rumour. It sounds terrible.

Why? We saw the plans in AOTC and we see the darn thing in ANH.. Its just one more way to bridge the gap between the 2 trilogies...

It is only strange that if they begin building this one...it will take about 19 years that it is complete maybe a bit less...And the second one was at least operational in just a few years...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking...

Well I have asked the same thing many times and gotten different answers. The most common thought is that after building the first one, the second one would go quicker since they would have already done it once before....

A LOT quicker don't you think?

Apparently so

And to even make it weirder, the second one was even bigger. So after the first one got blown up, which had taken 19 years to build (if the rumours are true), they made another one twice the size in,what, 4 years? I just think that gets too stupid even for Star Wars.

eh, suspension of disbelief i guess 😎

I just remembered that in a star wars book I read, I think it was "Jedi Apprentice" Im not sure, they showed an already built Death Star (not The Death Star) inside a star cluster. So maybe it does take a lot of time to build a Death Star, I just guess they started building the second one not many years after the first one.
I know im taking references from the EU but its something to think about

Unless of course always two there were.....
They could've built the two over the 19 yrs...
I mean....Who was gonna tell everyone about the second one...
The Ewoks?

It's actually another reason...a stupid reason which has nothing to do with the story why there are two death stars.
George Lucas didn't know star wars was going to be a hit, so to be sure he blew the death star up so it wouldn't have an open ending cause he had more films in mind. If he was sure he could make ESB and ROTJ than the deathstar would not have been blown up and always be there to the end of ROTJ...it would just be the same death star, which would be cool to the story in my opinion. ANH would have been darker.

In ROTJ the death star was originally gonna be "Imperial city" (Coruscant) just like the Ewoks were gonna be the wookies on Kashyyk... Cop out central....!

actually that was after the idea of the death star not being destroyed...the first idea, was that Luke, Vader and the Emperor were in a lava cave under the imperial palace, later it moved to the imperial palace itself and then to the death star

Ahhh well. There y'go.... 🙂
