v-150 Planet Defenders were large ion cannon emplacements designed for defense against starship assault. The cannons were powerful enough to shut down large vessels, but as they were completely immobile, they were vulnerable to ground assault.

Originally, the Rebel attack that’s the climax of the film was going to be on Had Abaddon, capital of the Empire. Hence those McQuarrie paintings of Coruscant I posted yesterday. If you read the story conferences for ROTJ, you can see it was a close call actually—the plan to use Had Abaddon comes back almost as often as it’s discarded—but eventually, to the others’ dismay, Lucas chose to go with a second Death Star. One of those What Ifs.

ROTJ was the first Star Wars film I saw, so for me it wasn’t a second Death Star: it was a rather eerie zombie construction that looked like the ghost of a dead moon. I thought it was a fascinating sight anyway.
