A Neon Look for Star Wars

Star Wars has a pretty unique look when it comes to Space Cinematography. The infinite amount of stars present in each frame add to the "softer" look of the planets and the higher shadow values. In today's tutorial we're gonna look at lighting this scene while taking inspiration from Akira Kurosawa. We will also create a simple impact shockwave on the planet.
