I can see a bit better now and that it is a stunt double, in the first video it was a bit tricky to tell, as right when you were about to get a good look at her face, it quickly zoomed out.

Oh yeah, didn't even notice that.
Sometimes I wonder if they add things like that for an update, or they just didn't even notice it didn't go all the way up themselves.
Guess it depends on the movie and production. (Disney's Star Wars.....I think they just don't realize certain stuff a lot of the times...)
That longer red stripe is a slight visual change in the prop hardware just for the sake of it. It might be a IP (copyright) move like with the newer Star Wars hardware.
Disney was clearly changing SW stuff in the sequels. Rey's home planet was exactly like Tatooine except it technically wasn't Tatooine. The Falcon's squared-off dish, C-3PO's red arm, the different X-wing model, the bigger AT-ATs, the stormtrooper helmets, etc. Almost everything was altered just enough to differentiate it but not enough to distract the average viewer who isn't a SW nerd.
Time to start looking at the rest of the new Ghostbusters prop hardware. If they intentionally altered Ecto-1 then they probably tweaked the uniforms & proton pack & trap too. Maybe even the firehouse exterior.

We already know that they tweaked the packs. They actually have a functional cyclotron that spins (whereas in the originals and the second film, they were lit up using bulbs that would just light in a sequence).

If they hadn't used a different dish shape, you would have heard the complaining that Abrams forgot that the Falcon lost its dish in the second Death Star from here to Tatooine.
I really like the extended stripe on the Ecto-1, gives a little more color to the front of the car without going overboard like the Ecto-1A

Yeah, that is true, for both. Remember seeing the Falcon in the trailer, and first thing I noticed was the rectangle dish, which made sense, although I still like the round one better.
And that Ecto-1A, that was like Las Vegas driving down the street......lol.

Cool little short, but, it still feels like a video game. If they were to make this as a game, could be cool, but I hope that don't start using this engine for Hollywood films. CGI of today already can look bad, don't make it worst just because its easier and faster to produce.
