That would I have on my card, if I had this kind of "hobby" - and they would call me "Rico" ;-)

VFX can work really well, with the bonus that you have more control over it.

Yes it's green fire in this one, but the principle is the same.

well, I don't know what program they use, but they surely got some experts using it ...

If in ESB:R is still like that ^, it could certainly be upgraded with some sort of hint of damage or a flash at least not to diminish the idea that the "armor is too strong", but would improve with some kind of reaction from the leg being hit.

yeah, some blackening of the leg or knee would be ok, doesn't need to be a major damage, only to show that the rebels try to bring the walkers down, and fail until they find a better strategy!
