Hey, Ming. Welcome to the boards :)
I haven't had chance to read through all the new stuff yet but i'll answer a few that i've seen so far...

The only issue I as a newb could see in the trailer was that it might be nice to get a better coloring/shading on the Falcon on the Bespin Landing pad when they enter the city with Lando. It looks a bit out of focus and no where near as clear as it does while it's taking off in a hurry.
It should be slightly out of focus in that shot because the focus is on the foreground characters and not on the ship. The main sections of the ship are the same they were in the original so the focusing is exactly the same

Coming back around still even ady posted previous shots that indicating the falcon arrives at sunset still like the idea of sunrise :)
It's definitely going to be sunrise in my version.

Looks very cool... although I've always liked the fact Cloud City looked a dot in the distance. It's reminiscent of the Death Star in the distance as the Millenium Falcon approaches in A New Hope... "he's heading for that small moon!"... it's this small object in the distance that you only get a sense of the massive scale and detail of once you get up close... and boy does Cloud City do that!
That was a nice 'Bespin' shot vaderios, but I must agree with Vincent's comment here. The original 'sunlit' reveal of the small, distant 'Cloud City' was always one of my favourite establishing 'beauty' shots in the movie, I have to say.
I just wonder if and how Adywan will tweak it in any way....
And I agree with the way doubleofive recently described how he always saw the Falcon's arrival as being at 'sunset'....with the events of Leia pacing in the apartment coming during the next day, and everything else taking place up until the Falcon blasted off in the evening.... Interesting that Adywan saw the 'Falcon' as arriving at a 'sunrise', and all the following events taking place on the same day up until the evening....
It will all still look glorious I'm sure.

As others have said, there's something about the original shot, with the sun breaking through the clouds to reveal the city in the distance... I wouldn't want to lose it.
Unfortunately that reveal shot is going. The sun is behind the city whereas in every other shot the sun is facing the city (as has been discussed before) and you can see from the new close-up city matte as the falcon approaches the sun will be facing the city. So this shot has to go as it stands now. Even though i have always loved that shot myself it just doesn't work within the edit now but i will be replacing it with a new reveal shot which will still have the city in the distance

Myself, I like the idea of the Falcon arriving at sunset. I think that because that has always been how it was, it will feel very strange for me to adapt to sunrise instead. It is not only a change in the visuals in this case, but a change to the actual timing of events.
I'm pretty sure that it was always meant to be sunrise when they arrived. Just take a look at the GOUT. When they leave the platform and walk down the stairs the windows clearly shows it is daytime. It almost looks like there was a section edited out between those 2 shots. Talking of which i found a very interesting photo the other day. When they are going for the dinner when they turn the corner there was originally another shot in between which would explain the continuity problem with their positions. They originally turned and walked across an uncovered walkway.

I have the strongest possible suspicion that the elevator will not only remain but will corrected in the shots it's missing at great effort and with great effect.
The window will be seen in all shots that it was missing in the SE
