    superimposing the death star over top of the moon was a stroke of genius sir. The way the auto exposure reacts to moonlight lends a natural found-footage realism to simulating a huge white object in orbit.

    Some people complain about how in Jedi they 'just built another Death Star' but I always liked the second Death Star way more than the first one. It has a more iconic look - in fact it might be the most iconic object in the Star Wars universe - and it is obvious that this is a giant battle station, instead of a sphere that doesn't particularly stand out as anything.
