I think that's my biggest gripe is that they are merely dots on the horizon when it would be nice to tell that they are star destroyers (yes, Han tells me that, but I'd like to see them)

In this case, though, if they were clearly visible, it would become a 'master of the obvious' moment. If they're just dots (and the passengers are thinking 'what is that?'), then Han is looking at the instruments and telling his passengers 'star destroyers ahead.' If everyone could see them, it would be like 'no kidding, Han...'

I don't know if you remember my previous description about this shot, but Leia is sat directly behind Han at this point in time, and is looking over at what Chewie is doing. She's quite petite, and it's only when she stands up to come around Han, that she can see what He's just seen.

Also, the Stardestroyers could be even positioned more slightly to the left, in the 'windows', even further out of her 'eye-line', as they start to come directly towards them.

Hope this helps.
