big_gareth, I’m glad you’ve been inspired and I like your concept for having Rose shot down after she’s turned away. Nice work! It’s definitely a better reaction from Finn. He looks distraught. I do wonder if the shot of the skimmer tumbling is a bit too intense. I’m not sure anyone could survive that!

I like the V2 better, and actually would make the impact effect you added shorter, just a quick flash. I don’t think we need to see it targeting her, we get that idea from the lasers flying past the skimmer. Those lasers look good, by the way, I would just make them red to match what the walkers were firing.

I will have to try this again and see if the audio can help sell the moment, but I definitely think it’s closer!

Also, did you paint out one of the skimmers from the wide shot?! Very nice! I thought of trying that myself; might as well go all the way with it. I also need to fix the V1 of my skimmer removal. The shadows at the bottom of the frame don’t work, and the edge of the smoke is off.
