I would think it would be ROTJ since it happened in ROTJ but we just didn't know it (this is considering that the information isn't false) EU is something that would happen after ROTJ right? So therefore although this information came later on, it would still be considered OT since it happened in ROTJ...least i woulda thought it would

I think EU is anything outside what is in the movies.
and I thought that its established the the Empire was just "pretending" that the system isn't operational, but it really is, so.. well... they attack. *shrug*
I dunno....I mean he may have know IG-88A was in the system so he got him to fire, without IG-88 it may not have been able to operate...but thats just a guess
It's EU but it's canon as well. I think In one of the books that talks about palp's death it says he noticed ( while he was falling) the death star acting weird like doors opening and closing and wierd stuff like that but I'm not positive if that is true I got that from Wookieepedia.
It's in one of the Tales books and is written by Kevin J. Anderson. He takes over the Death Star and allows the Imperials to make use of its primary functions, but takes the time to harass Palpatine in his throne room -- shutting the doors every time Palpatine tries to walk through them -- until IG-88 notices that the Emperor was using "some intangible force" to wrench the doors open.
Interesting...I'm not surprised that he was able to get into the system, I mean they woulda had all kinda firewalls and what not but IG-88 could just hack past them
Probably the main reason the rebels didn't know that the Death Star was operational could have been the fact that they had no way of knowing that IG-88 had control over the death star, more so than the emperor perhaps
Bounty hunters maybe 'scum' but they can be pretty clever
It's interesting to know that the death wasn't operational...well fully operational until IG-88 went into the system. I'm gonna take a guess and say that the shield would require less power than the main firing laser of the death star so why did they need endore for a power station for the shield? Couldn't IG-88 give them one of them as well? I dunno I could be wrong but it's worth asking and questioning

movie-wise, I believe Lucas never really thought of it that way. xD
universe-wise, maybe the endor shield generator was a part of the unfinished stuff on the DS - maybe they haven't been able to put in a generator yet so they put one up on planet-side. or something...
But they probably hadn't finished doing the laser or parts of the laser yet that still managed to fire thanks to IG-88 so I woulda thought he could shield the DS quite easily but then I guess the laser may have been the main priority and so therefore although not complete could still be fired. They shoulda just made a shield for the death star straight away rather than use endor and build the laser first. I guess IG-88 decided he'd fire when ready
