Watched v1.0 the other day. It’s a great start and really does help the second act. One thing I did think about is… if the star is being drained during the X-Wing approach, why is the stream not visible in that shot? I figure the collector is maybe not the same location as the cannon, but you can still see (sunlight on) the planet–so the star should be behind the camera somewhere, meaning the stream ought to have been visible.
The collector was established to be in a different location, but the star was probably in whatever place was best for the lighting of the shot.
