Ady and All -
I concur with the suggestion of showcasing the shield effect ala Rogue One when the X-wing crashes into the Field Aperture. Since the shield is invisible to the naked eye, we only see evidence of it in blue when a ship smacks into it - which we should see when Lando tells “all craft to pull up”.
YES to replacing all the bad matte paintings in the hangar of Home One with models. Given what you did in the rebel hangar on Hoth - I can only pant in anticipation what we are going to see in that Revisited set of shots. I LOVE the idea of using the Cargo shuttle from Rogue One for ROTJ:R for the rebel commando crew.
One suggestion is that since Dave Filoni confirms that Captain Rex is the White bearded old rebel guy at the bunker, I wonder if there is a way to get an audio comm announcement in the rebel hangar bay for him to report to the shuttle ala the line in Rogue One for General Sendulla? A little fanboy service, yes… but fitting.
As to a ‘perfect’ Falcon model - have you seen this Perfect Grade baby from Bandai?

1/72 scale which puts it slightly bigger than the less-than -perfect Fine Molds one.
There have been some great modelers who tricked out the Hasbro Hero Falcon with a lot of aftermarket parts, but the time to do that right is a 6-month to a full year project.
My biggest and most eagerly anticipated ‘fix’ is the destruction of the Executor. Plowing into the Death Star in a mushroom cloud was just too lazy. A-wing into the bridge - okay. But existing footage sucks. I’d hate to reference it but some of the 9-11 footage of the plane zipping into the second tower is a bit more like what one would likely see if a snub fighter plowed into the bridge tower. I’m fine with the Executor plowing into the station, but it needs an extended destruction scene with cascading explosions busting the ship apart until the engines blow and then some decent nuke-ish shockwave ( I did always like the engine explosions in the Empire At War battles). Since Rogue One took Star Destroyer destruction to a whole new level - it will be an interesting task to see what you might storyboard out to give fans and oooh and ahhh over that ship’s end.
