I am going to come at this from another angle and say that I don't think anything has been lost with the change of camera angle or movement. I will give my reasons and explain in this picture.

Ok what is missing.

1 tie fighter falls apart and has a brief flame trail as it crashes on the right we get that electronic flash from the other before they explode. The other thing that I think is contributing is the lack of the visible defined crack that the falcon escapes through that is throwing peoples perspective. But this crack is only revealed on the pan to the left which I think is what people are complaining about. So it's a reveal. I think this could be easily altered without having to re-film also using 2d animation and perhaps recoloring and and masking the original crack but using the canyon walls that are in the new shot.

But I also think that we have to accept this is a totally new shot and that having a different camera angle might not be a bad thing. I do see what people are saying about the velocity but it's also being effected by the lack of the crack that the falcon flies through in that we only see a curve and not a reference point to judge the velocity by.

There is really so little in the camera movement and I feel it's been overblown. And I am fine with it how it is now but If you want my analysis then this is my much closer inspection. I don't mind the angle of the falcon being altered and I prefer that the tie fighters are flying much faster it makes a lot more sense that they then crash and they look 100% better in revisited without any extra effects..

I think moving the canyon walls apart to reveal the crack would be similar to the camera movement except we would be pinned on the falcon. But I have only said this to try and appease the comments that keep flooding in as I personally really like the shot and I think most others do too. Just trying to verbalize or find out what it is exactly that others are going on about and I can see what they are saying but I look at things differently so I try to break it down better.

Edit:

One more thing I have noticed it when the falcon tilts over 90 degrees to the right. In the original there is also a slide to the right in position but this can be attributed to the pan to the left as a compensation.

Translating that exact movement would actually put the falcon a bit more over to the left and have more of a right pull sideways shift when banking around the corner. But at the end of the day like I said before it's a new shot and I am fine with it. just adding this to my observation.

The falcon CGI model of the 6 dark circles on the back only 3 appear to be black or dark in inner three look white for some reason. so I would hope that can be also made a bit darker like black grille circles.

Quick visual suggestion of adding a belt to the star field layer obviously not removing the new asteroids but it might give more depth on this shot.

@monroville re falcon escaping explosion...don't forget that the falcon is further back in revisited so the angle is going to be different and it also has further to fly.
