Second off: I'd like to add my support for the blue planet. When I watch edits like this, I try to set my mind in a "I've never seen this before" state. In this scene, all this is is a blue planet. Even if I wasn't trying to forget everything I knew about the movie, later in the movie Tarkin says to set course for Alderaan. Why would he do that if he was already there? The planet could be something like Mon Calamari, known for being enslaved by the empire, or could be something else completely. I was less drawn to the planet as I was to the reveal of the Death Star.
