In the scene with the Death Star and the planet, I think the planet is moving too much. I think it would be better to have it stationary than to move it at all, so that we get a better feel for it being very far away, thus increasing the sense of these objects being of massive scale. Note that a moon orbiting a planet must be at an altitude several hundred times its diameter, so this would make sense.
