By the way, Darth Editous, as you are one of the other resident editing masters in these parts, would you mind expanding on your mention about the scale of the stars in the shot. I am techno-curious about this and, as a former filmmaker, would like to learn more.


It's similar to the problem with the view out of the escape pod window at the beginning of ANH. The Star Destroyer is receding into the distance, but so are the stars - but they should be effectively infinitely distant and shouldn't recede.

The effect in the trench shot is done by zooming into a static image (and very effectively, too, both originally and now). This zooms in on the stars as well, but they should stay at a constant scale.
