Agreed! I didn't think this would have such a profound effect on my enjoyment, but it really did. Video seems the best way to demonstrate how effective your changes are.

Everything might be pushed just a bit too far beyond "70s Star Wars" and into "faded 70s TV Show" for my taste, and If I were asked, I'd say lose the gate weave entirely. That said, I am aware that this is your project and I really enjoyed the clip.

Great work so far.
