Nice clip!
The camera shake certainly helps!
Not sure about the lightning impact effect, but it's still cool just the same!
Yeah, if there was a way to remove the smoke and/or make it disappear quickly...
I'm thinking about when the queens ship gets hit in TPM...Because of the speed the ship is going, the explosion kind of quickly falls behind...If I'm remembering correctly...
Again on the camera shake:
Maybe this is too much, but what if the camera began to rumble just a bit as the star destroyer (opening shot) moves above the screen?
