That executor underside is only down to the crushed blacks in the 2004 transfer. You could see the underside prior to this. Unless a hd transfer of the pre 2004 version ESB miraculously turns up it's going to have to stay that way i'm afraid. CG isn't an option either. And i don't want to replace it with a different shot of the Executor because it would screw the compsite

And the other executor shot looks much better as it is originally as viewed from the underside.

Thats pity ady.. Since you are fixing everything from shots and etc. I remember that you mention that you will replace a bit radical the shot of the SD getting smashed by the asteroid and i thought about suggesting replacing the very poor executor I dont know if its worthy to be saved only colorly because its flat as hell. Since in your clips you were used wisely the use of a 2d element (much more wisely from ANH:R i can say) then for me a shot of the executor that have more detail or a subtle new shot i believe it will balance even more the feeling "Revisited" I dont get why a small wise of CG cant be the work done. Tho if its too dark you can also manage to make the long shot also dead black to match the previous or if you wish the 2004's tranfer aesthetic.

Also pity that you mentioning that many shots will take even the smallest treatment f.e. you will replace the distant star destroyer elements when needa's shuttle goes down so i have to ask.. Why have the same executor element in hoth and asteroid shots when even the subtlest difference can push the edit to the sky? I suggested different angles but still you can manage to make a hybrid one that is still not the same with the previous(cheap).

I couldnt refuse the fact that even major star destroyer scenes are copy paste with later ones but it could sell the idea. The executor has a major wow factor that it has to be showed in the every possible impressive angle.
