I'm 13 and I could do the title in about 2 mins in after effects. Just keyframe a mask with a bit of feathering and put the original footage in track 2, with a random starfield as a mask. Thne put your title "Shroud of the dark side" on top of everything and keyframe it with a bit of 3d perspective.
I guess, if people were occupied reading the credits, they aren't likely to notice the change of starfield. (depending on how much feathering you put in.
The desaturated shots sound really great, I always hated the "plasticy" colour of the speeders.
hope i've been helpful,
