The death star

Who thinks that in episode 3 we might see the death star being constructed ready for the the 4th film 'A new hope'

I would be surprised if they start building it that early, especially as they got the ROTJ one together so fast.

Yeah because if you think about it, it was only about 5 years in between ANH & ROTJ (thats not in our years, its the stories years if you know what i mean)

Spoiler:
a crate with imperial helmets like the people controlling the DS were, has been spotted on the sets in Australia, so guess the DS is back

Why cant i see that. OOohhh its a spoiler..tsk tsk tsk!

i'm beginning to think that anakin into vader would happen around the middle and finding out the death start project and bringing it to life.

Those helmets were also used by some people in the bunkers on endor

think they're refering to the one that's entirly closed

maybe, but the Death Star was just opperational at the time of ANH so it is a span on about 20 years between EPIII and ANH. Kind of early to have those units ready already then

I dont know its about the size of a moon. Plus they have to be atleast working on it in ep3 if they have already mentioned it in ep2.

Yeah because the film won't be much good without seeing it under construction.

It had been designed in AOTC, not had work started on it. It would still be odd if the first takes 20 years but the second, bigger one less than 5.

GL is desperate to tie in his new trilogy to the OT, but the timescale is all wrong, we will never see a death star in epi III. (unless they toys have already been built.... and he needs to shift them...) *small tear running down a once proud SW lover*

all we need in EP III is referals to the DS plans

making DS II took 5 years and was bigger and better ...
so, ... making DS (let's say between AOTC and EpIII) will take 3 years ...
hmm... COULD be possible though

I doubt it because the DS 2 was not fully constructed were as the first one was.

who said they started on DS II right away after the dirst one was blown up?

why not?

each opinion is reasonable.

If you remember that at the beginning of episode 6 when reading what is going on, you will see that it sais the empire has been secretly constructing on a new death star without Lukes knowledge.
