This is a Wip idea im working on.
The idea about have the shot holds a bit longer by cutting the animation and keep the cannon still. Or turning it with subtle ways.
Taking reference fron ANH the gun might not recoil. I will add some boxes and cables at the right bottom of the screen with interactive laser lightning ofc :)
I went to a more industrial look for the sake of originality.
The CG camera movements/traveling will be out as much as possible. think that in ANH the camera stays still even when the gunners are being hit. Still i dont know much about how this can be achieved here with all the explosions but the guns might remain static as possible.
Same goes with the droid cannons
For the easter egg purposes i took the monitors from 2001 space odyssey
