If we are being picky, its CGI "manipulated" then!

Its still quite obvious that it doesnt fit with the next shot, speculating about the cost of CGI work is a bit pointless and even if its an alternate take its irrelevant the simple facts are:
1) It is a new SE addition and not in the original
2) It looks fake
3) Looks very different from the following shot
Anyway Darth Editous decided to keep it in so its up to him, I wouldnt know how to take it out but if he ever returns to Star Wars again then maybe he could shorten it so this scene is back to what it is in the orginal. The rest of his changes are superb.
