I'm not understanding the shake hate. In the original, everyone on the bridge throws themselves around while nothing else moves. It doesn't look right.
I don't think there's a hate for the shake, at least I certainly don't. There obviously needs to be something. For some though I believe it mostly has to do with what the shake portrays, which in this case it shows one Star Destroyer very foolishly bumping into another. Instead, maybe it'd work better to have a different style of camera shake, a one direction tilt of the camera (perhaps very similar to what's seen in that Star Trek clip you posted) which portrays that the imperials are falling because the ship is suddenly tilting ("take evasive action!") to avoid the other (as seen from the subsequent underbelly shot). The perspective of the other Star Destroyer seen outside the windows should change also if a drastic tilt is implied. So i guess the question for some is: should the imperials be portrayed as complete morons or as more competent risk-takers?
