Wow, thanks for the feedback guys! For those interested, do not worry, this is part of a much larger project that is actually nearing completion! I will be uploading a couple more clips in the coming days to try and show just how much I'm planning to change the movies.
I do agree, it is a shame to lose the longshot as it was very impressive, however everytime I kept it, it seemed to really slow down the pacing, so it is going to stay as is.
As for the music, I'm quite happy with the battle of yavin cue, so I don't plan to change it, but if anyone has any suggestions for the earlier music I'd love to hear them :)
And finally, the color correction, as Vaderios noticed, there wasn't any. In my haste to get something uploaded I accidentally rendered the clip with color correction off and didn't notice till after I posted the link! I will try and get some of the color correction up so you can see it, but for now, patience :P
