Hello asterisk8 -  I always liked the juxtaposition, movement, and 'composition' of the 2 adjoining effects shots above, and I'm still unable to agree that the Falcon and TIES are coming from underneath the Stardestroyer in the bottom shot, as first suggested by Shadowman99.  Although you kindly gave a link to my own version of the movements in your post, a revised, simpler version is this:  in the top shot above, we see the Falcon and TIEs coming almost 'directly' towards us, with the Falcon disappearing just below us as it goes off-screen, and the TIEs following closely off-screen afterwards, as the Stardestroyer continues to come almost 'directly' at us. Then, in the bottom shot, we initially see a ' close-up' of the Falcon's underneath, followed by the underneath of the TIEs shown following in this shot, as they all then recede into the distance before the prow of the Stardestroyer eventually comes into view. 

 I reckon that visually, a case can be made that the Falcon (and the following TIEs) are just 'dipping down' slightly as they proceed ahead in front of the Stardestroyer at this point (which then fires 2 green laserbolts at the Falcon from underneath), before they then 'dip upwards' slightly again before the end of the shot.  Personally, I dislike the idea of turning the prow upside-down, and having it seem as if it's coming from the bottom of the frame, as I just think it's unneccessary, and doesn't look as good.  I do like the proposal that the Falcon could be made to be somewhat 'manoeuvering' a little more in the existing bottom shot though.  I'll be interested in what Adywan decides on this one, and how it turns out if he does choose to alter it in any way.
