1. TWO Death Stars?! - Return Of The Jedi

What's more intimidating than one planet-killing super weapon? That's right TWO world-massacring orbs in the sky!

Sensing that The Empire would've likely felt the only way to see off those dastardly Rebels would be to significantly up the ante by the time of Return of the Jedi, Lucas originally thought the only way forward for the villainous menaces would be to forge two more, slightly smaller, Death Stars.

These diabolical creations would've been brought into being whilst in the orbit of the planet Had Abbadon, the same place that would later become known as Coruscant, with its lower levels housing the aforementioned molten throne room of The Emperor.

Feeling that two moon-shaped space stations with the capacity to annihilate entire worlds would maybe be a touch of overkill, Lucas ultimately scrapped the dual Death Star angle and opted for just the one instead. But that still doesn't change the fact that the sight of two destruction domes spinning around this stunning new world would've made for one hell of a visual at any point in the Original Trilogy-ender.
