Also something that were bugling my mind was the detail of the executor in that shot.

No detail no nothing. Only black filled areas

The second image is a flipped one from the bespin sequence.

Look how much detail executor have in the shadow areas and the lightning matches with the overall mood. The light variation and all. The first image reminds me badly colored BW images with one tone on everything.

The only problem is that the shot is cut before it can reach the desire spot of the SSD and the bridge.

My suggestion is that even from stills or cheat using the later shot and make the different sections of the ship, represent other ones. You can recreate that shot and have an executor worthy of compositing, continuity and aesthetically pov.

Otherwise you can use 3d renders and make your life easier ;)
