what if the important thing about blowing up the death star wasn't the military act of blowing up the death star, but triggering a preference cascade. an exploded death star is an act of COMMUNICATION signalling "there are other rebels - competent ones - out there"https://twitter.com/padrebrendon/status/1212857569406046213 …

The sith are involved in a struggle against the secular Imperial bureaucracy. The death star operation was intended to lead to the execution of hundreds of highly-placed military and civilian officials, who would be replaced by sith partisans. The ultimate goal is theocracy.

The Rebels act as the executioners for the Sith, knocking down the liberal order over and over again. Bureaucrats are attracted to central power like moths to flame.

There was no second death star. The first one had an FTL jump drive aboard and teleported away. Its apparent destruction was staged to get the rebel alliance to reveal itself by reveling in their "success" so they could be rounded up by imperial forces.
