I would actually like to see a more elaborate reveal of the Death Star II in ROTJ to give it a bigger sense of scale. I don't know how this would be possible, but it's one of the things that I think could be done better in the film


This just came to me: Beginning of RotJ, after the crawl, the camera pans down to the curve of a gray planet with the Executor in the distance. The camera switches to one closer to the Executor as a shuttle flies toward camera (the shot I mocked up a few days ago). The camera pans or switches angles to reveal the shuttle flying towards the massive DSII, taking up much more of the frame than the original shot.

I think they never really show in RotJ that the DSII is huge, maybe you should never be able to see the whole thing in a frame, just pieces of it, never getting the whole picture of what it looks like.
