I am on the fence about seeing endor in all the shots

don't get me wrong it looks cool, but it needs to be done right

there is a great opportunity here for the imperial fleet to come into view as they orbit the forest moon & block the rebels as apposed to just sitting there in open space in a tight formation as they are now,

But the problem lies with the throne room, surely we should be able to see the horizon line of the DSII from that POV, which would make it impossible for luke to see the battle as it would be happening under neath the horizon as it is now. this calls into question where the throne room is in relation to the DSII's main weapon.

The story, (according to various books) is that the throne room tower is located at the DS2's north pole. I assume that the direction of the Emperor's window is pretty much aligned with the superlaser.

There is not just that window, though. There are several, in which Endor could be made seen. But it has to be consistent with the light on the window frames.
And then there is the question: Wouldn't a green light in the background be a distraction from the main action?
