Davenes, I'm loving your Endor Prime shots, especially the fleet arriving shot.  The DS explosion is a little large and looks like it should have cracked the moon in half, but I suppose that's the point! LOL

Would it be interesting to take some shots from either ARMAGEDDON or DEEP IMPACT and blue screen them in?  I'm thinking in regards to showing the characters on Endor looking up and the sky FX (with the fragments coming down) being placed behind them, to better show off the destruction of the DS2 and the debris raining down from the explosion.

I think the explosion itself (both the space shot and the view on Endor) needs to be completely redone, sans explosion ring regardless, with maybe a shot of Han holding onto Leia (to go overtop Elijah Wood on top of the hill in DEEP IMPACT at the end) as you see the DS fragments go through the sky over and behind them.

Here are some clips:

(0:44 - could the DS be shown blowing up in low orbit and - not so much destroy Endor- but push the clouds back from the shockwave?)
