  1. Tosche Station #1 - Luke enters Tosche- Complete-see compare video
  2. Tosche Station #2 - Luke exits Tosche to see battle w/friends - 75% complete[SAMPLE IMAGE BELOW]

I think you did a good job on this but what I would add is that when you are pulling out details from the shadows which is good you need to color balance this by pushing green in the shadows as Luke is a lobster like shade of magents that will hinder the garishness you are getting.Also look at the edge softness as I see white line around Luke.

The sky looks too saturated and is causing a mismatch in lighting especially on the matte shot also I think those are rocks not bushes on the left so they should not be green Tosche station has pink hues in the highlights. I think this shot needs quite a bit of tweaking it looks very garish.

When Luke comes down the stairs into the door the steps look blue so they need a red push on that element probably it just needds some tweaking but the big scratch being gone is very good work…

The work on the interior is really good I can’t fault that.

Please don’t take this as critical in a bad way it just seems to me you a clawing after the detail which is good but if you rotoscope an object in you need to make it blend that bit better look towards your values and saturation of each element and contrast. If it looks garish like it does especially in that long shot that means it it’s either being pushed too bright or it needs color balancing to match.

Check out Star Wars begins by Jambee Davdar for this scene as It looks good and balanced if you could match that for the exterior shots in terms of value and color but it’s a bit blocky due to being sourced from CDrom.

One final thought instead of the totally black doorway to the bar would it be possible to add some sort of wall interior detail that was barely visible but just gave the shot where he goes in the bar that bit more depth rather than pitch black? I did just have a quick look to see if I could find a still but that wall can have artistic licence as it is never seen.

perhaps the right hand side of this would do?

obviously just make it perhaps 30% transparent or something?
