Oh man I don’t remember seeing that shot of the ties in front of Vader’s castle that looks wonderful. We probably didn’t go with it because we didn’t want to reuse footage from another movie. I could look past that though. Although, I’m still of the opinion that the Battlefront footage doesn’t work unfortunately.
I think the stablishing shot from Rogue One REALLY works, because has the Tie Fighters in it and the different colour scheme, that makes that shot barely recognizable. Maybe if someone talented in VFX were able to make the castle look more damaged and destroyed (because a lot years passed and it would follow the continuity from the expanded universe, that says the castle was left in ruins after vader dies) it would make the shot even more different than it was originally, would maintain the continuity and it would be finally the castle appearance we all wanted to see in the movie. But even if is not possible I really think hal should maintain that in the v2. About the battlefront stuff, yeah it doesn’t work unfortunately :
