(in the shot immediately before the one above), I think the thing that made it seem somewhat 'flattened' at that point, was the possibility that we should actually be able to see a hint of some of the 'landing gear' legs sticking out underneath the side of the CGI Falcon, nearest to us, at some point within the last 3 seconds of the shot, just before it cuts to the above shot.

You'd need to study the footage carefully, and it would be quite subtle, but it now seems to me that this would go a long way to 'fattening-up' the look of the Falcon at this point, and matching the shot above, a lot better.

Bingowings, that's the trouble with not having an exact screenshot at hand, it's sometimes difficult to get something specific across without one. I'd tried to say that I was talking about the shot of the Millennium Falcon that comes immediately before the shot of the Falcon that I actually used.

It's strange how the CGI Falcon shown in the flying approach shot seems a more 'thinner', 'flattened' version of the one in that 'Falcon with landing gear down' shot that I used, but as I say, I think it's a lot to do with the 'angles' where we 'look down' at the Falcon coming in to land in the previous shot, and that we should have seen a little of the 'landing gear' on that shot too, in the last moments, before it cuts to the shot I used.
