Nah, that would have been too too derivative (having another Death Star was
already too derivative).

What if they had taken the Death Star planet-killer weapon, and put it on a
*much* smaller platform (instead of an even bigger platform)?  These might
have been 10Km long, but only 1 KM wide.  Kind of like the ultimate weapon
from Star Trek (I don't remember the episode name, sorry).  Anyway, the
imperials could have started establishing a production facility for these
monsters, and the Alliance would have had to destroy.  They would succeed
after a hard-fought battle, with the unfortunate loss of the Endor moon,
and all of those wacky, loveable Ewoks would have been fried to a crisp.
And Timmy was visiting the tree city at the time!

I whole heartedly agree. How come the Ewoks got there own movie but no other
cooler aliens did?

Would you guys stop picking on the Ewoks :) Wicket was my second
favorite character. They got 1/2 of a movie because George Lucas
wanted to give them 1/2 the movie, duh :)

Then everybody could have sat around celebrating and eating fried Ewok.

A universally known delicacy.
