With the dewback scene, I think this version has no less motion than the original shot, and I like the idea of dodging the terrible CGI without altering the timing of the scene (the way Darth Editous did).
I’ve tweaked the shot since the clip I posted, so the trooper is frozen in place for much less time. It’s slightly less faithful to the original but looks better in motion. (The OOT obviously didn’t have to use reversed and slowed footage to show the trooper turn to his left and then back again.)

I do not like the Mos Eisley helicopter shot, so I’m happy to avoid it and sort of split the difference between the SE’s bustling spaceport and the OOT’s shithole.
I had intended to remove the Mos Eisley shot from ROTJ, but the Naboo shot proved too different in timing once the wipe/tower was removed to be able to substitute it.

All in all, I’m happy with these for ANH. I can still try to find a way for the ROTJ celebration to work out that way.
