I think you missed something. We don’t talk a new shot what alter the reveal of the AT-ATs. We just talk a new composite shot. The first reveal was (with binoculars) brilliantly done, no one wants to alter or modified or fit a new shot into the movie. But a new composite background would be excellent. What is the problem with that if Adywan replace the old snow and cloud background with a new one, where the viewer could see some new element, like the landing pods. I think a new MATPAINT what Adywan already did in the EpIV Revisited is an excellent idea. Don’t you think? J

"Adding the drop ships like in 005's example shots would pull emphasis on the drop ships, not the AT-ATs which are the stars of the ground battle."

It’s funny….as you said….BIG REVEAL. If you see above the pictures, You can only see small black points, not even an AT-ATs.
