I'll see what I can do with zooming out on that shot and giving it a proper iris... I may have to run it through after effects to reverse the zoom. I totally get what you mean about that being a more "star wars-y" ending shot than the four characters in a row... I seem to remember thinking the long shot was a bit too short for me to use in that fashion, but maybe not. I also love the four of them in a line like that. All the major players going forward, with the eventual victor of the trilogy right there in front.
I'd be interested to see how your ending is coming along, even in its unfinished state. Please post!
