I think you might find your responses here. The response is pretty long so I don't want to copy and paste it. If posting links is against the rules, then I apologize to the moderators!

There were several attempts to gather the plans. Kyle Katarn got one set from an Imperial laboratory on Danuta. Bria Tharen's squadron also intercepted a set of plans at Toprawa. To see the full history of the Death Star's plans (and it is long), look it up on the Wookiee.

It's a EU question. It's a very long story. It gets retconned a lot.

Yeah, the insane and still-ever-increasing amounts of hands the Death Star plans went through before reaching Leia is one of the most popular jokes among EU fans tongue
Didn't TFU's Secret Apprentice help, too? I boycotted TFU, but I seem to remember reading a mention sometimes.

I've got to check out that wookiee-article. Speaking of

We have very few limitations for linking and most of them are based on general rules anyway. Wookieepedia links especially are probably the most allowable. Even some of our mods are Wookieepedians.
(I've recently joined a forum that requires you to make x amounts of posts before you're allowed to link and as a mod here I thought that was a puzzling feature, despite spamvertisers).

The best thing to clear up first is what Death Star are we talking about, the one in ANH or the one in ROTJ?

ANH


There's even confusion of who first thought of it, who designed it, and who constructed it. tongue

You know what I don't understand?

Why the Empire first had the plans lying around at different places anyway? You think they would keep them on Coruscant or something, protected by High frequency computers only the Empire can access.

The Death Star novel explains why the plans that Kyle Katarn collected were on Danuta in the first place.

Need a lot of different people and facilities to design and build the components of a moon-sized station, and you'll want to make sure they all fit together properly on the construction end of things.

Kyle's set of plans, for example, were mainly of the engineering schematics for the various surface weapons emplacements, but not the superlaser itself. Once they were combined with the data from Toprawa (and whatever other sources I can't be bothered to remember wink ), they had a "full" technical read-out of the entire station.

I believe one group of Rebels actually had the plans for the Death Star's plumbing system. This was actually helpful, because without that set of plans, Luke's torpedo would have gone up a toilet and surprised a stormtrooper who was taking a dump.
