Did George Lucas meant for the Death Star to be destroyed in 1 ? IMHO it ALWAYS felt like he wasn't sure there wasn't going to be a SW II.

I believe it was meant to be destroyed in the first one. The book "Splinter of the minds eye" was the sequel if the film otherwise didn't pan out.
I think in some of the earlier versions of the story/script it wasn't the main macguffin of the whole movie. Kind of like how TFA treated Starkiller-the map is the point, Starkiller really doesn't become an issue until the film's second half.
