A point nobody seems to have made...

If I had the capability to make such a shield, I certainly would have 
put one on the Death Star!!  Since the force field didn't seem to take 
up THAT much room, and the Death Star is "the size of a small moon", 
I'm sure it would have fit on (and could have been powered by) the 
battle station.

So why, once the battle had begun, didn't the Emperor raise the shield on
the "fully operational" battle station?  Perhaps they needed it lowered
to fire the weapon...?
