In order to get a sense of isolation, all that needs be done would be to remove the extra officers and insert a different matte background. The actual stairs and hallway need not be changed. As is it looks almost like a small hallway between rooms, so why in the hell are three officers just standing around? Regardless, I'm not bothered by the existing shot. If any changes are done, it may be easiest just to isolate Piett and replace the entirety of the background.
i'm actually in two minds about this now. i'm starting to like the idea of having it a bit more isolated. hmmmm, what to do. lol

You seriously want to tell me that Vader would be perfectly okay with a bunch of random-ass Joes having such a chance to glimpse him without his helmet on, or to have regular sneak peeks on the private meetings going on within?
Who said he would have to walk that far to get to the action of things anyway? It could be an extra room separating the main decks from his private chamber. It's not like it has to be a mile long corridor or anything.
Vader could just be a few floors down in the command tower. I would still think that there would be an airlock of sorts being that Vader would have to have something akin to a pure oxygen environment due to his physical damage and need of the suit.
WAMPA ATTACK:
I understand the CGI blood thing, but you could still add sound FX like breaking bones, and the eyes on the Taun-Taun could be done using the same program you used on the cantina creatures. As far as having the "Taun-Taun" spin its head to the left in the scene with Luke getting hit, you could use some of the other shots with Luke and Han on their Taun-Tauns, since the heads are pointing to the left.
The whole idea is to make the Taun-Taun act more like a living creature. Be it deer or horses, usually when a predator, person or loud noise occurs around most animals (including us), we all tend to see what it is.
The extra Wampa hand and arm could be done by copying the arm and flipping it. The thumb may have to be repositioned.

The mountains don't need to be changed. its the canon that's throwing out the scale in this shot. i may change the contrast of the background to give it more distance
I have to disagree with you on your statement here. It is not the gun tower that throws it off, but the mountain range which is part of a used backdrop. If you look at that "hill", it is the same or similar to alot of the distant mountain shots in a lot of the AT-AT attack sequences. Being that you can see 2 snowspeeders coming over the "mountain", either those snowspeeders are HUGE or that is a tiny mountain range.
it isn't as easy as taking the head off the Taun-Taun from a separate section to make him react. the two shots have to match and with all the movement its virtually impossible
The snowspeeders don't come over the mountain at all. take a look at the first few frames and you'll see that the speeders come in from the lower left side of the screen. i might add some smaller speeders coming from in the distance which will give it the scale it needs
EDIT: i see you edited your post while i was writing my reply
