Another avenue for discussion which we haven’t touched on much here is the aesthetic. There’ll always be a battle between OT-aesthetic purists and modern aesthetic adherents, so maybe that’s less valuable here, but looking through some very old posts from the Radical Prequel thread I noticed some ideas for digital zoom and pan on boring static shots, and enhanced laser effects.

I’d also be interested to see peoples’ preferred colour grades, or have people highlight shots or settings they think are particularly egregious.

For me, I’ve always hated the Naboo plains. They’re so featureless they look fake. Theed and Tattooine have always looked fine to me, but I’ve also always disliked the columns of energy in the Duel of the Fates. I wish that could be muted right down to something more like the Star Destroyer engine rooms, which have a similar geography but without the CG lights.
