oops. Accidentally posted the top comparison without the falcon glow layer turned on.
here is the updated comparison:

I think you nailed the trajectory on that shot to be honest. You have made the best of what is there. I think it is very charming to keep the original model fix the position and nice engine glow.
However the Planet still looks very green I distinctly remember to get it looking the right shade of Blue as when they arrive earlier it needed hue shifting quite a lot via selective correction. Obviously all the way through from green cyan to blue. Don’t be scared to be quite brutal there it is probably blue screen degredation or something. But looks very good when shifted into blue you must try it and you will see and feel when it looks like correct. Otherwise really great job on that shot 😃 Thanks
Yavin IV is green NOT blue. Since 2004 the colouring of Yavin IV was screwed and it became blue during the SE additions. But pre 2004 it was green in every other shot apart from this one, which shifted towards blue. The original closeup matte painting used when the falcon approaches showed a green planet with blue oceans. Sadly Rogue One went for the “blue planet” look also, but it was originally more green, especially being a more forest planet and it helps differentiate between Alderaan.
