Speaking of praxis rings on explosions, I made a edit for my new A New Hope fanedit that has a new explosion for Alderaan that doesn’t look “too modern” or “stitched from two seperate explosions” like in the theatrical, and no praxis rings.
I like it, but I also think showing the planet cracking into pieces from space would look good too. The laser should be shown going into the planet’s surface and then show large molten yellow cracks on the surface as it exploded. A very realistic planet explosion, something like our Earth, if it were to explode from space.
