Wow that looks good, especially the push-in shot where Coruscant is behind Kylo. It’s super smooth.

Looking super close for any mistakes at that final shot, however (yep, here we go with the “cOnStRuCtiVe cRiTiSiSm” again, I know) I notice the cut-outs aren’t 100% perfect, which is fine. But I think I did notice what felt like the planet clipping into the ship on the right of the frame (and in my peripheral vision) during my first watch. But then on close inspection, it was just not 100% perfect cut outs. Not a huge issue at all, but just thought I’d mention that I noticed something weird about it out of the corner of my eye on first watch. Hey, it harkens back to how they used to incorporate matte paintings in the original trilogy, so we could say this is just an Easter Egg referencing that! I’d be okay with that honestly. My point in mentioning it at all, again, is that I noticed it on my first casual watch.

Also, I should say, the first shot is a little disorienting for some reason. I guess the original shot of the ships flying in has that handheld shakiness effect to it, and you did a great job trying to match it. But… maybe we could try to attempt to stabilize that shot, perhaps, if it’s possible? So Coruscant sitting there is a little more smooth? Because you’ve done all you can do to try to match the original shaky cam style, and I’m not sure what else could be done to make it even better. Other than some sort of stabilization. Not sure if it could be done. Probably (definitely) not even worth the effort I’m sure it takes, honestly.

Fantastic work regardless of my little notes here. I hope I didn’t come off condescending or anything like that. If this was the final product, that’d be perfectly fine. The concept is so genuinely wonderful.
