I don't get it... supposedly our sun is located in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way, right? Yet when we look around us (to the sky naturally) we do not see the arm we are in, or the rest of the galaxy... well, technically we do I suppose, but we don't SEE it, if you know what I mean.

So if we are not able to see the galaxy around us, how would it be at all possible to see ANOTHER galaxy? Telescopes see differently than the naked eye, right? Am I wrong about that? I don't know.

So... I'm just gonna go with the idea that the image shown in the background as the Falcon flies by is a forming star, nothing more. Though an updated version could be cool either way.

You can see the galazy with bare eyes if you go somewhere where there is no light. I see the galaxy every summer when i go to my village which has minimal light polution at night. It look like dust among the stars.

Here is a non matte painting version of the shots vaderios was complaining about.

YES! now that solve all the problems! I will star ASAP.
