Sorry for the double post but I am also thinking about the opening shots…

Ok so We pan down and see tattooine in the distance. Although you have shown a preview of the start there is some issues especially with where tattoine actually is…

I have seen recreations that place the star destroyer higher in the frame is it too low?

So on the second shot we see the reverse view the tantive is coming towards camera and the star destroyer is chasing. The thing is why is the planet matte of tattooine visible?

This very same matte is shown when the star destroyer leaves tattooine as if it is behind and that works well. But in the case of the Tantive being chase we are then shown Tantive from above and there is no planet below and the escape pod flys foward so they can not have yet reached the planet. So my feeling is although it is very iconic and without wanting to take a wrecking ball to the filn this planet matte on the second shot should not be there.

I am not asking you to remove the planet matte but I think it could be an interesting take on the scene that might make it work quite a bit better, And after all it is shown later when star destroyer leaves with it in the background

Thanks for reading and again sorry for double post but it’s only just occured to me how it actually makes little positional sense.
