Good list.

Make the Death Star bridge bigger, with more consoles and possibly a corridor. Somehow it just feels small, possibly due to lighting.

I feel the same needs to be done to the Executor bridge. It looks great in ESB (even better in ESB:R) but in ROTJ it looks like it’s closed for the night and they’re hangin’ out after hours. Low lights and it seems like most of the screens and machines have been turned off.

JEDIT- that may have been what you were talking about in the first place. I don’t remember the bridge on the Death Star.

The Death Star bridge (or Control Room I guess) is first shown in the opening scene when granting Vader’s shuttle permission to approach and deactivating the shield, then later during the battle when passing on the order to fire, causing a man on a raised platform to half-heartedly operate a control at waist level.

When the Executor comes on the scene Piett and his crew seem to take over the gatekeeper duty for some reason.

The room is rather small and used for two very different functions, so makes the whole operation seem much smaller. There are deleted scenes featuring this room, so I’m recognizing it now more than I would have previously.
