Okay here's a nearer-to-complete matte for the Death Star hangar bay. I've replaced the shuttle with a model shot and layered back some of the finer detail from the original painting. I'm pretty happy with it.

Oh, I like the shuttle and Endor in the background!

Something that I still think stand out like a sore thumb are the soldiers in the back. They look like ghosts. Can they be made to look like the other soldiers?

Could the hole in the floor be lit more? Perhaps add some glow?

I think that the color of the walls could still be tweaked just a little bit. The walls are still a little bit purple and some highlights in the floor are still a bit more blue than the walls. Perhaps add just a little bit blue to the walls. Just a small step - not even halfway to how it is on the DVD. The walls are grey, but they are lit by a cold light.

Don't forget moving landing lights in the floor and patrolling TIE fighters outside.

I agree with that we should see the "sanctuary moon"'s planet somewhere, and a shot with an angle that is not seen much again would be a good opportunity. It could also be seen in the background Tantive IV's approach.

But I think that the planet should look smaller than Endor. Compare with how the Earth looks from the Moon. Also, the shot must not be too cluttered if the audience is going to be able to spot the Death Star and if the feeling is going to be retained that the Rebels are racing for a lone, unprotected Death Star and not arriving in the thick of something.

I am not sure if you intended to make the interior darker.. but it gave me an idea for another subtle change: How about making the part of the Home One outside the window in a slightly more grey hue than the interior window frame? The interior is white in other pics and the ship looks gray on the outside.
