Oh, certainly. Again, this is the sort of minutia that makes this a diversion from normal life.

My thought on this is the finished film presents a planet in the viewscreen, after an exterior establishing shot of “hey look we made it to that planet mentioned last time you saw us.” So having Tarkin with a blank starfield wouldn’t feel right unless you removed it from the exterior shot too. Which could work, but would be a level of divergence I don’t want to bring to bear on “Star Wars (1977)”. (See prior pushback to me considering deleting the line about Ben never owning a droid!)

Well that video was an old video I put a link to and it serves a purpose to simply demonstrate the audio but visually I want to use the shot of the guy in the white and Tarkin but with this graphic.

Are the guys in white uniform some sort of weapons specialists or something like Krenic from Rogue one?

now I am sharing my imagination not what I know…

But also this feeds into the radio drama as I’m sure there is also a brief moment where they talk about “final superlaser weapons check” or something
