Probably old news to DVD owners, but I just noticed what they did to the hangar in Echo Base. In the old version, it was well-lit (if a little dim) and had good color rendering, like the type of place a person might work in for hours at a time. In the new version, it's almost monochromatically blue, like a bad imitation of Michael Mann's style. I guess the logic was, "Echo Base is cold, and blue is the color of cold, so let's make it blue!" I know the whole thing looks kind of blue; are they overcompensating for the old blue screen effects, or is that just a deliberate creative decision?

I also love the fact that they acknowledged "Moff Jerjerrod made a cameo" in the Executor hangar. Does this mean it's canon, now? Are they going to get an EU writer to do a trilogy with a comic book tie-in about how Moff Jerjerrod was aboard Executor to provide political control over Death Squadron's mission?

Also, am I the only guy who thinks the new Emperor isn't really looking at Vader in the profile shots?
