Has this been brought up?

At 0:16 there is a cut extended shot of ships flying when Lando’s fleet arrives. So good! The place I just found it says it even has the Fireball (!!!) but I can’t find it. This shot in the movie is about 2 seconds long with a clip of Poe saying “Hit those underbelly cannons, every one we knock out is a world saved”. Given that the extended clip here is about 10 seconds long and the Poe clip is poorly/weirdly spliced into the shot in the original movie, I figure the audio of him saying it could just separated and then placed over the extended shot 😃

Wow! I was unaware of this shot. That lack of sound effects is a bummer, though. Really could help the visual tempo in that part of the climax, and lends a tiny bit more of a sense of geography to a battle that really has very few landmarks and internal consistency.
