I've added a few more frames to the Alderaan sequence, just mock-up frames of the sort of effect I'd like to achieve with the shockwave across blasting the surface.

I would like to enhance the deleted scenes, very much so, but that will take time and they are never going to be anything like DVD quality, so I may keep them for a seperate workprint and use the new mattes for my Special Edition where I'm trying to keep everything the best possible quality. You're right, that SE painting of Ben's hut doesn't really work. Sure, it has more detail than the shot in the original, but it just isn't a very good painting.

I just notice one problem with the shot.

No glowing plantary core fragments.
