Note that is only a test shot. Might be different and more grand ;)
Still... for a test shot it's amazing. The grander the Death Star looks the better. The visuals should correspond to how it's the main threat of the movie... that is make it look huge and a killer.
When the Falcon approaches the Death Star, what do you think of having the Death Star's laser seem to be facing it, so as to heighten the sense of grave danger?
