Frankly, I personally like Angel's image below as an alternative:
Even so, I can understand the Executor having it's 2 standard escorts, as most large vessels (such as aircraft carriers and battleships) always have escorts for various reasons. Now an alternative possibility could be to show the 2 SDs (one on either side) move up and to the right as, after they help guide/escort the Executor out of the asteroid field they peel off to go right back in to continue the search.
Also, would it be conceivable to show laser fire and/or explosions in the far distance inside the asteroid field to show something of the fleet's presence within it?
In regards to another point Angel made, I know you would not be able to use the detail on the underbelly (in the 2nd shot) for the shot above it, as the bespin shot is further up the Executor's body... but I could also see the entire Executor replaced with the flipped Bespin shot, so as to give it greater detail:
Even so, would it be conceivable to add more asteroids around the Executor, as well as hitting the Executor shields? Not so much causing damage (as the Executor shields would be powerful enough to slog through without taking damage to the ship itself), but again to show how congested the asteroid field is?
I like these ideas a lot Monroville!
You ve manage to make the missing links to my mockups :D
I see the missing/black detail shot with the new one is out standing and it really reveals many detail without ruining anything IMO. I see you managed to make the lights more blueish like the original comp ;)
You said it perfectly that executor always have some ship around it apart the last shots that vader wants skywalker alone.
I really dig alternative angles and more powerful angles that can show variation and a more complete "revisited" feeling. More detail more variation=Revisited
I would love to see some shield action from executor or even some laser action that can clearly open a path or destroy big or small asteroids compare with the weak standard SDs.
