I saw someone suggested making the background dark like moonlight. I was thinking the portal you could use could also resemble the portals in the World Between Worlds from Rebels. I loved that concept and it would be an easy way to use a darker transition.

Yes, its a good thought. But at this point, I’m not planning on making any significant changes to this scene.

I did attempt making the scene with a dark sky background, but it didn’t work because the characters faces are clearly backlit with a strong light, so the edges of their faces stand out and it looks really wrong. The lighting in the original scene is so particular because they are in a dark room with a bright light shining through the window.

I originally planned for my scene to take place in a familiar location in the star wars universe, like Mortis or the World Between Worlds. But eventually I decided that trying to replicate one of these locations would only leave much more room for comparison with my scene. Or maybe my scene actually IS the world between worlds, but we are viewing it from a different perspective. I like ambiguity haha.
