In this case, I like the original DVD shot better. I could see adding an AT-AT in the mid ground on the left (to balance the far off AT-AT and the foreground one - one that is mid size between the 2 we see) but the matte Ady is using looks very fakish. I could see maybe doing something with the cloudscape, but the back"ground" should stay the same (just color corrected).

But nothing of the original DVD shot makes any sense with any of the shots around it, like I showed. And its suddenly foggy in the shots with Luke's target walker. Doesn't make any sense.

There is nothing saying you can't redo the skyline and make it clearer. You could bring the distant AT-AT a little closer, and add Veer's AT-AT in the midground left. That way the focus is still on Luke, not these packed-together AT-ATs with other things happening all at once. You would have to space out the AT-ATs in the triple front shot to match the distances between them seen in the Luke one though.

it's just that the Ady shot is so brightly lit (from foreground to background) that it appears that they are all near the same plane of focus with a mountain backdrop - it just doesn't look convincing to me. It is as if a OT shot was created to a Prequel shot.
