Okay vaderios, there were a lot of different (and sometimes confusing) comments to do with the whole 'Emperor's hologram' scene that cropped up, and lasted for several pages from page 860 onwards...but I've now found some time to get back to you on a few things about it.
However, since the full 'Emperor' clip has just been previewed, it's now okay for me to add a few extra thoughts on it too. So I'm re-writing some things I'd started to type earlier, and will to need to split them over seperate posts, as things will get too confusing if I try go into them all in a single post.
Here's the first thing then -

Ady I ve noticed some variance that might be interesting.
ImpFighter i want your input here if you want :)
In the first image (i brighten it up in purpose) you can see before the holo appeared a different pattern on the wall.. That have two rentagle holes.
I tried think what would be more easy. adding a similar pylon like the rest of the others to that spot or make the back walls like they should be?
Assuming that not only one pylon with that pattern would be present thats why i ve made 2. Maybe i'm wrong and its only one.
Fancy that this room is full of surprises and variations
For the more radical ones the double rentagles might be the emitters of the holograms :P ;)
To recap, I've accepted that the 're-used' set that was used for both the current 'chamber' shots and the 'hologram' shots DON'T give a good enough impression that it's meant to be one big circular (or oval) room, unfortunately...due to the angles it's been filmed at...but thanks to some recent comments, I'm now fully onboard with the notion of *imagining* that the onscreen footage shows an almost '8'-shaped room instead...as this makes more sense of how the footage looks.
And my own preference would be for the walls around both 'sections' of this *imaginary* '8'-shaped room to remain a little different to each other...to help sell this notion as much as possible.
So while it was an interesting idea vaderios, I'd have to say that I wasn't too keen on your proposal to make the 'pillars' behind the front-facing 'hologram' have two 'slits' on them instead of one...as this would have the effect of making them too similar to the ones at the back of the 'other' section where Vader's 'chamber' is...
So, my own preference was to keep to the current single 'slits' seen on the surrounding 'pillars' at the back of the 'hologram' shots...
...so that it's back wall would remain different from the back wall of the 'chamber' shots, where the 'pillars' seen either side of the 'viewscreen have two 'slits'...
However, the fact remains that we can briefly see that the 'pillar' on the right-hand side of the current shot below, actually shows two 'slits', just before the 'hologram' appears...
...but I'm pleased to see that the two 'slits' are effectively obscured in adywan's version...so things tie together better now with the back of the wall that's seen during the front-facing 'hologram' shots! :)
