I think that, for these new TIE and X-wing shots to work, they would need to be created with the technical limitations of 1977 in mind.
For example, in this shot
the TIE moves in a very smooth roll to the left, whereas the ships in the trench would usually only move from side to side.
The problem was that I used shots from a fan film but it’s only an idea. It is a representation of an idea but this shot was not specifically created like some of the others. I just used a snippet from a fan film. Ideally it would look like a model and be a quick cut and not really any flashy movement.
Since watching the original theatrical version in part yesterday. I am far more sold on like you say un-flashy and more retro solid heavy / weighty and real. But there are things I like about the Special edition too. I sort of want to do something with it one day. But I don’t have the visual fx skills and I could hardly command anyone to make me shots!
I really want to see your version too. But I am going to wait for your version 2.0.
I like this image
This also I thought was pretty good

But you can’t beat good looking real models!
