Thinking ahead to things that should change with the Battle of Yavin, I’ve got a few ideas.
- Yavin 4 isn’t visible in the fly-by or is half-blocked by the gas giant (like the test renders of the '97 scene)
- Redo the opening fly-by to include more variety with the X-Wings (i.e., instead of all looking like Wedge’s Red Two, use the elements of the relevant models).
- Trying to make the CGI shots blend with the models more in terms of movement and visual consistency (i.e., give Luke’s CGI X-Wing different marks to match the physical model, use movement patterns more similar to those from ESB and ROTJ)
- Get volunteers to add dialogue for the expanded battle sequence (if it remains).
These would require more work with the CGI guy Ady has mentioned before (or other CGI-inclined folk - many are on YouTube with their samples), but it’s doable.
