Star Wars fans are debating a commonly criticized plot hole, which may not actually be a plot hole after all.
The so-called narrative inconsistency in question involves the Death Star, specifically the second Death Star. After years of planning and construction (as seen in Andor season 2 and Rogue One), the Death Star is destroyed in A New Hope, but the Empire is building another in Return of the Jedi – before the Rebel Alliance destroys that one, too.
