I've no idea if adywan will end up re-'flipping' any of those reversed BESPIN shots or not, but I'm all for seeing continuity restored where possible, and to be honest, I'd have quite liked this SE addition to have been re-'flipped'....

....as it would mean the actor/actresses and their costumes are the correct way round.  The background could EITHER be done exactly the same as adywan's new 'skyline' version seen below, so that it looks like Lando and Leia eventually end up at the same spot a bit later....

....OR....it could still have a different 'skyline', so that it still gives the impression that it's a totally different location we're seeing when Lando warns the city.  

However, as it seems that it's being kept as it is....I can happily accept that Bespin women's clothes are differently 'buttoned-up' in their galaxy compared to ours, and that this security guard is left-handed.... 

Good to see a darker blue which matches the original security guard costumes, and neat work on the new sky too.  :)

 

As far as the Chewbacca shot is concerned....

....I reckon it could certainly be re-'flipped' without contradicting the shot that comes afterwards (where R2 ends up at the doorway), as the layout of the interior set is a little unclear and haphazard (due to being re-used) during the sequence anyway.

 

And the same goes for the Stormtroopers shot....

(bigger versions here - http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/2029/screenshot299.png and here - http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/7956/screenshot300.png )

....as although it occurs immediately before we see Leia suddenly exit the corridor in the shot that comes after it, and gives the impression that particular Stormtrooper is firing at her....I don't necessarily think that's right....

....because it's not too obvious whether certain Stormtroopers are engaged with either Leia or Chewbacca, due to the way the action is inter-cut throughout the sequence. 

Chewbacca seems to be fending off Stormies to the right-hand side of the 'partition wall' he's behind, and to the front of him too....

....whereas Leia and Lando have ended up dealing with Stormies somewhere around the corridor that's behind Chewie it seems...

....and going by the set details in the 'flipped' Stormtrooper shot....those 2 Stormies could just as easy be imagined to be firing from somewhere in the area in front of where Chewbacca was positioned until the doorway opened....

Either way, if it's re-'flipped', it can still also seem to be as if they are shooting towards Leia (and positioned near her corridor somewhere)....but just from a different 'camera-angle' now.....

 

Something that would be good to get improved a little, would be the edge of the 'wall partition' that Chewie is beside.  If you compare the shots above, you'll see that the width and colour of the outer edge seems to be inconsistent between them.  The shots are all static, so perhaps it's possible for them to be made to match up a bit better?
