It's inevitable really - a well-meaning invitation for suggestions opens the floodgates for those who, rather than pointing out actual shortcomings in the vintage visual effects, decide to start second-guessing the genuine craftsmanship of filmmakers at the top of their game.
Fortunately the actual work is in the hands of someone who well understands the difference between the two.
It's not suggestions nobody is actually making any solid suggestions even myself.
That asteroid on the shot where Han says "I'm going in closer to one of the big ones" first of all. Looks nothing like the surface that they fly over in the next shot secondly if it was as big as the asteroid surface in the next shot it would get bigger a lot slower but also be much larger out the cockpit window.
That is what we are doing pointing out the short comings of the original visual effects. And trying to figure out a way of it to work better. I don't think anyone perhaps apart from the team... but even perhaps including them know what the best way to handle it is or just to leave it alone and do nothing about it.
