Angel: I get that you dislike the idea of static. If it was a factor of laziness then I would too, but with the case of the wookiees I think it would be the best of a bad situation. With regards to the water on Coruscant then no that wouldnt be static (though to be honest in that brief clip a still water surface wouldn't really show much movement).

As for the death star still looking like the death star, there is probably a lot more that could be done here, it was only a very quick mock up to show that a colour change could make a lot of difference, I will have a look at some of the Coruscant clips from the PT and see if I can improve this to look different enough to be passable.

Thanks again for the feedback guys.
