^I'm looking forward to your work, GoodMusician, and I'm glad you find the idea a worthy one.
@Johannus, I don't know what would be easiest, so I would let the effects team decide that sort of thing I guess. I know Jaitea is skilled with Photoshop, so I don't if he'd be willing to touch up an existing model in motion or not. We can ask him.
As for the shuttle, I suspect you are thinking of this picture from the wishlist (item 14):
Personally I like the idea. The same shuttle was used in ANH:SE (not the best picture but the first that I found):
You can see it taking off briefly in the upper midleft.
I think it'd be a nice addition and is a nice distinction from the regular Lambda shuttle used by Vader and the Emperor already. What does everyone else think?
Here's the Wookieepedia article. My greatest concern now having read this is size and fitting it into the hangar. There's no truly definitive size (as is truly the case for any Star Wars ship, since they abound in inconsistencies on screen). I think it can be done, though, if anyone else likes the idea and you're willing to put forth the effort. I'm sure it would be filmed quite a bit more than any other models we ask of you, as we already know what shots it would be used for, and may even have additional shots for it.
