In ImperialFighter's patented bolding important things way, here is what he means:

Adywan - It was really nice to see that you added 'horns' to the 1st 'original' Wampa suit scenes near the beginning,

to tie it in better with when we see it in the 'ice cave' scene.  However, I see that there is a bit of doubt over them so far.  As this is one of touches that I personally hoped to see included, I'd like to offer a last suggestion on this aspect -  Firstly, as we have seen these shots so many times over the years, every addition is going to pop out at first.  However, I always wished that the various 'looks' of the Wampa had been more uniform overall.  As far as your added 'horns' on this preview go, I think you could amend them a little, so that they are even better.  What I think could improve them, is if you did the more rounded, more tapered, and more 'gnarly' ones that seem to start quite thickly, higher up on the sides of the Wampa's head, that were seen on the SE suit version.

The ones that you presently have, reminded me immediately of the shape of the 2nd 'original' Wampa suit, as seen 'lunging' at Luke, just before he cuts it's arm off.

I always thought that was the least- successful looking version of the suit, and the horns, along with it's 'sticking up' ears....  I see that in the initial reveal of the Wampa, that you have indeed added the other ear, so that it protrudes noticeably, just like the 2nd 'original' suit....but I think this is not as good a look as where we see LESS of the ears in the 1st 'original' suit, and that they look better half-glimpsed, and closer to the fur....as seen even in the SE version of the suit.

 

I think that since you're probably cutting out the SE suit, it's better that it matched the "2nd 'original' suit" (actually the only original suit since the first is a puppet) if anything.  Seeing the horns at full speed on YouTube looked good, but I'm not sure how it looks at full 1080p.

Again, I think its fine if they were different wampas of perhaps even different sexes.  Like the female hunts while the male eats at home, like lions, but the horn differences more like the difference between cows and bulls.
