Okay, so I held off watching the trailer 'link' until I could catch it on the biggest monitor I could....and the footage looked phenomenal!
Having known many of the shots involved only as still images for a while now, it seemed dreamlike to finally see some of them 'in motion'. It was like seeing some of these scenes for the first time, considering the amount of tweaking added to them.
The colouration was glorious as always, and there was just so much goodness on offer. One of the highpoints was the 'cloud city approach' of course. First moving through the 'wisps'....and then the hint of sun 'glare'. Sublime stuff.
I guess the biggest highlight for me was the shot of the Falcon blasting off from the platform, as I'd asked for it's 'landing legs' to retract during that scene, so long ago. I always wondered just how that shot would come out, and it turns out you made them retract at just the moment I hoped they would! I didn't realise back then how wonderfully you'd execute the new sky and cityscape to complete the shot though....
And the sky in the 'railing' shot was exceptional too.
The final 'Emperor' is terrific, along with that much needed second "Yes...." and if you HAVE used the 'side-onwards' shot that doubleofive recently 'mocked-up', then wonderful, as his mainly-hidden features looked suitable creepy in that. (Great stuff on all those comparison shots by the way, doubleofive. Thanks for your helpful efforts on that)
Anyway, everything looked ridiculously good now overall, and it's so neat to see greyer TIEs in this.
One thing I will keep my fingers crossed for too, is for some of that extra 'TIE-firing' goodness that looked so terrific in a past preview. Like others here, I missed that now....along with the accompanying sound FX that were there in your previous version.
All in all, this is exceptional work, and you have continued to exceed whatever expectations I once had. It made my day. :)
