I get it. Just an odd thing to say considering its one the most iconic moments in the whole saga. If you don't like the opening shot of Sith, thats fine, don't like it. But I think the mistake people make is to try to find too much reasoning behind not liking it. Too much beyond their own taste or opinions about cinema. The idea that its too unlike anything weve seen before in Star Wars is a bit of a stretch to me. Even if I agree its unlike anything whether thats an issue or not is still pretty subjective. Its a showy piece. Its works very similarly to the opening shot or 3 shots of A New Hope but is done purposefully very differently. I think it works well.

And keep in mind, sound in space at all is non-existent, so any sound design is done with cinema effect in mind whether it be psuedo-realism or style.
