^^Thanks for the input. I’m having difficulty in judging what’s good or bad with this scene in particular, since so much of our relationship with the Republic (audience and Resistance) is still up in the air at this point.
In other news, I know some people aren’t very happy with the stereo treatment of the Starkiller Destruction sequence, but lacking a 5.1 setup I’m unable to rectify the situation. Therefore, I thought that I would export each track of the scene separately as a mono wav so that it could be technically possible for someone with the correct setup to do a 5.1 mix.

I regret that it’s quite a mess, with 9 tracks in various states of disorganization. Being new to the process, I essentially threw SFX wherever they would go, so most of the tracks have explosion SFX at some point and the LFE channel doesn’t stay on the LFE track at all times.
I completely understand if nobody wants to tackle this, but at least now it’s out there if somebody wants to fix it up right. 😃
JEDIT @ Val:
I noticed the lack of clouds in the second Star Destroyer shot as well, but it’s like that in the original film. I suppose I could add some more clouds to the second shot…it’s something to consider.
As for the R2 scenes, it’s a delicate line between being too obvious and making the audience wonder why nobody noticed the blinking lights and making it too subtle and having people miss it. I opted for subtlety, since people bothered by the conveniences would probably be more observant anyway. My brother suggested a slow zoom in to the panel. That could work.
I also agree with you about the fanedit info, but it’s not a big deal for me either way.
As for the crawl, I still think the middle paragraph could use some work:
Episode VII
THE FORCE AWAKENS
Luke Skywalker has vanished. In his absence, the sinister FIRST ORDER has risen from the ashes of the fallen Empire, plotting it’s return to power.
Suspecting that the First Order has developed a terrifying new weapon, General Leia Organa withdraws from the timid New Republic to mobilize a covert RESISTANCE.
Desperate for Luke’s help, Leia has sent her most trusted pilot on a daring mission to Jakku, where a clue has been discovered as to the whereabouts of the Last Jedi…
