Nice eye. Luke is a foreground element shot against bluescreen i guess, with the entire backdrop including the city being a matte composite. When the Falcon dish miniature element was added, the balance of the image was shifted, and so Luke was moved from a more central position to screen-left in order to balance the dish dominating on screen-right.

Interesting finds all around. I haven't seen the Puggo editions but i am guessing that these are the only alternate-footage clips? Would be nice to also have stuff like the shot of Luke without the early AT-ST comp and the original bacta tank edit.
