How to create a new BIK movie and make it look similar in animation, graphics, and quality to the original BIK movie I want to replace and make it look like it is an "edit" of the BIK?

Hello.  So we all know the Ravager right? Darth Nihilus's flagship that is held together by his will but is really wrecked and akin to a ghost ship in KOTOR II? Well, in the vanilla game, there is a pre-rendered BIK movie of the Ravager exploding from the Mandalorian Proton Cores after defeating Darth Nihilus.  The movie is called "MalMov05" and can be viewed here in this YouTube video: 

I always had a personal problem though: The explosions that tore the Ravager apart was devastating, but it should have been more destructive and catastrophic to the ship, and I am going to explain why.

The Ravager is a big ship of metal and all, yes, but it got torn apart by the Mass Shadow Generator of Malachor V during the final battle there at the end of the Mandalorian Wars.  The lore everywhere in the game, and in reference books emphasize and state that Nihilus tore it from the mass shadows and made it crudely hold itself into a ship once again, a lot like Darth Sion and his body.  Colonel Tobin and the others keep on emphasizing on how the ship is a ghost ship and is ruined and damaged, it is described as having a fragile atmosphere, and more. In-game, it looks wrecked but not too bad, (something I will fix in another mod), but the concept art for the Ravager and the prequel short comic "Unseen Unheard" written by Chris Avellone himself depicts the Ravager truly how it is described in-game and in subsequent lore: A hollow, barely holding itself together ghost ship.  Given its ruined and fragile state and it's sole reliance on Nihilus holding it together, the Ravager should have been totally disnitegrated in the explosion by the proton cores, thus it should be small, particulate matter and millions of shrapnel rather than big chunks as seen in the BIk movie. (Side note, but it is fair to note that it is weird that the Ravager isn't falling apart after Nihilus dies, and that it is stable enough that the proton cores need to blow it up, so that is confusing).

The proton cores themselves too probably are really destructive and devastating as well given the Mandalorians made it, and since they are devastating bombs and the Ravager's ruined and fragile state, it should make sense for the explosion to be more catastrophic and destructive to the ship than what is shown in the BIK.  Also, even if all that I said is not entirely true....it still would be very nice and cool to see, as I like devastating explosions and visuals and would like to see a more visually satisfying look.

So, with all that said, here is what I am planning to do: I want to make a new BIK pre-rendered movie of MalMov05.  I want to make the expolsion way more fiery and impactful, and the Ravager disintegrate and broken down much more than what the original one shows.  To add onto that though, I want to make the filming and camera angle the same, as well as the animations of the shuttle escaping with the horizon of Telos 4 positioned the same. I also would like to add that I want it to look like it is the same graphics and animation as the original pre-rendered movie cutscene, specifically this one, and have similar, if not slightly higher quality, but overall I want to make the "vibe" and "feel" of the BIk the same, almost as if it is the exact movie just edited.

The question comes to whether I should edit the BIk, (if such a thing is even possible), or render an all new BIK.  I think the latter option is more realistic and plausible, but if I do that how do I precisely make it look very similar to the original movie? Anyone good at or have experience at pre-rendered movie cutscenes that may help me out? How do I make them? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
