This is what clearly happened:

President Bush naively thought The Empire was finished after the second Death Star was destroyed. Gee, who would have thought they could possibly build a third one???

    They had to push for the presentation stage due to a lack of investors after the 2nd death star

    I wonder if Luke ever busts on Wedge and Lando for only blowing up 1/2 a Death Star?

    The timing between the damage to tower one and tower two doesn't allow for it to have been a Death Star.

    Geeze.

    Technically the second one was the third one, as the first was a smaller-scale but functional prototype built at the Maw Installation.

    I'm not sure if it's primary weapon could blow up planets though.

    It wasn't bigger, it was just a second Death Star with the thermal exhaust port covered up with some plywood.

    Wookieepedia says:

    The first Death Star was 160 kilometers in diameter,[1][2] while the second Death Star was 900 kilometers in diameter.[3]

    Someone's compensating for something if they build something that big

    Don't worry we got back at them by flying an A-Wing into their Super-Class Star Destroyer.

    That was actually the premise of a quest in Yoda Stories.

    Man, I know way to much Star Wars stuff.

    you know what one of my favorite just, really bad star wars stories is? fucking Darksaber. It is a story which means pretty much nothing and I can't decide if it was written that way on purpose or what.

    It killed off Madine, though, who was pretty cool in the Dark Forces games.
