As 'screenshots' seem to be welcomed for thoughts, there will be further ideas in the pipeline done this way, and I want to thank doubleofive for his much-appreciated help and willingness in this.

Adywan, a while ago on this thread, when no-one knew what direction you were planning on, I previously hoped that you'd use briefer, quicker shots of the initial SE 'Wampa' suit shots.  However, I am pleased that you seem to want to reflect the original 'not so revealing' sequence a bit more....as compared to the current SE release, because less is more in this case.

But I remember thinking on my first seeing the original 'Empire', back in my youth, that I would have liked to have seen just a little bit more of the Wampa creature (especially when I saw it's Kenner 'Hoth Wampa' figure, seen here -  http://theswca.com/images-toys/figuretoys/wampa-catalog.jpg  - Note: the plastic horns are set 'high' in this photo.  On the actual figure, they were moveable, and looked far better when the horn 'points' were set in a 'lowered' position, more against the figure, instead), although the SE release gave us too much, and lingered too long on the first two new suit shots I thought. (see pics four and five from the top)

One thing then, that I really hope you will consider keeping in at the end of whatever sequence you come up with, is the 'final reveal' shot at the end, of the 'armless' SE Wampa, or even just a briefer version of it, as it begins to turn side-on to us with it's large, outstretched left 'paw'.  I reckon that this particular SE addition makes for a nice 'pay-off' at the end of the Wampa's short screen-time.  (the 'blood' on it's front could be removed, as you 'seem to be omitting' the shots in pics four and five, or added a little under the mouth of the 'lunging' one, seen in pic third from the bottom, as maybe the Wampa has been eating Luke's taun-taun out of sight, and hung him away for later....)

Whichever 'look' you choose to go for (I won't necessarily take the one in your colour 'preview' as being the final one....), if you are able to bring some 'uniformity' to the various 'face-designs', that would be great.  Just for the record, my own preferrence would be the 'mustard-nosed' original face (seen in pics one and three from the top), but with the rounded 'gnarled horns', shown on the SE release suit (see pics four, five, and nine from the top), and which are on the Kenner figure too! :)   Whatever you choose to do, I also hope that you keep the other brief SE addition I think is worthy, which is the new 'close-up' of the Wampa's 'arm and side' (see pic six from the top), as Luke cut himself down.  Would you be able to change the 'paw pads' seen there, from black 'pads' to something that better matches the 'fleshy' coloured 'pads' seen around the black 'claws' in the other shots though?  And the same with the final 'armless' shot too, if you decide to include it?....

 

There are a lot of nice ideas currently flying around from GoodMusician and others here, and that 'Executor Bridge' shot, along with the 'greyer-looking' TIEs look terrific.  I loved the 'greyer' look of the 'A New Hope' ones, so I'm very pleased about the fact that they will not be such a harsh 'blue' now, in certain shots.  And I'm sure looking forward to seeing 'brown' asteroids again!
