Next up is this great shot of a Star Destroyer emerging from the shadow of the subject of that weapon's test. The making of such a massive cruiser feel small is admirable (emphasised by a passing TIE Fighter), although what really knocks it out of the park is the real feeling of it; the texture and lighting make it look like a real, practical model (even though it's 100% CGI).

It's not a new shot and there's not much more to really say, but f*ck me that in-construction Death Star looks cool.
