You're making me hungry!
I had a thought after reading the latest posts.. so I watched the Battle of Hoth again. I think that we see the Rebels getting their asses handed to them during most of the battle, really...
... but the Empire does not look mighty enough when doing so.
The shot of the fleet entering the Hoth system is not very imposing. If it could not be remade, then maybe it could be improved.
There are a couple of TIE fighters here that look like they are turning in a wide arc around one of the ISDs ... but they are out of scale by turning too soon, which makes the Star Destroyers look smaller. The TIE fighters should become tiny spots in the distance over the SSD before they start to turn.
The end of the battle is where we would get the most opportunity to show the might of the imperial forces. However, there are a few things that are oddly timed, or just look weird.
- The shot where an AT-AT shoots at a Snowspeeder at point blank range is kinda weird, and it is also after the height of the Snowspeeder battle. I think it should be earlier.
- Right before Veers asks for the distance to the power generators, we see two shots: one outside the walker and one the view from inside the walker. There are not as many fleeing Rebel soldiers in the outdoors shot as there are seen from the inside.
- It is quite a short time after Veers hits the power generator that we see Vader walking around inside the base.
Maybe these shots could be rearranged so that Veers blows up the power generators before the shots of the AT-ATs chasing fleeing soldiers. Then we could see Imperial landing craft approaching in the distance behind then.
The combined shot of fleeing Rebels in the foreground, a shooting group of AT-ATs in the center and landing craft in the background could be the very shot that makes the impression.
Also, it would be understood that Vader is on board the landing craft.
