Tatooine matte doesn't need to be replaced, but maybe a subtle cloud layer moving separately from the planet itself would help.
DS explosion is fine. Remember the scale of what's going on. Those "yellow particles" in scale ARE giant flaming chunks of the station.
No, leave the Emperor and Yoda out of ANH. That's something Lucas would do, which is why he crammed Jabba and Fett into the SE in the first place.
You are of course entitled to your opinion but I completely disagree, obviously it's upto Ady, and it's his POV that will count. The Tattoine matte does to me just look like a painting, rather than a planet, though I'd be open to seeing what a cloud layer would do.
However I even think the explosion in the SE's is better than the original one, the yellow particles don't look like flaming bits of degree they look like confetti :-p @rayafraid... Agreed.
