To be truthful, and I hope this does not offend, but I thought your last opening was (visually) perfect. As simple an aspect as it was, it was one of my favorite points of the edit, as it felt like how so many movies did back in the day, fading from one matte to the next till we found ourselves face to face with our hero. I like how it opened just like the official movie as well, panning down to Tatooine, but instead of seeing the corvette and destroyer, we pan further, then zoom in on the planet. And when Luke looked up, we saw the battle, exactly overhead as we had just previously seen the planet. I don't know what it is, but I really, really loved the way you had it previously.
