A new establishing shot would need to have something that the audience can instantly be informed that its 'the bad guy's base', I don't think each establishing shot should be bits and pieces, this would confuse the viewer (always keep in mind this could be their first screening of this movie)

I love this info-graphic like Mr J :) (why the hell the death star always is lighted from the left?)

3 establishing shots are not many but i dont think that showing close ups of the station will require only 3 shots ;)

The point is how we made a shot that is recognizable but at the same time is cryptic with its content?

I like the idea of putting Tarkin alone there, to emphatize the autocracy that the Empire represents. Could you illuminate the room a little more, using imperial lighting on some walls or something ?

I thought it. THe white areas/light might ruin the composition that you need to focus on the planet and then tarkin.

I still need to add the missing control panels that add a bit of a life.
