Personally I couldn't do without Shake. The nodal nature of the product allows you to layer stuff up in insanse ways, feed various results back into other routines and then recombine with ease. Plus you can dig straight into the scripts.

It makes things simple that would be a bear in other products.

As for these official pictures, I wouldn't take them as an indication of quality. I am pretty sure the official release will have more detail and colour saturation than people are expecting.

As for how it will compare withe the X0 release, who knows, I am expecting some stuff to be better in the OUT and some to be better in the X0 project. I expect the X0 project to have a more coherent look overall.

A lot will depend if Lucasfilm are using the master that would have been created *before* they did the shoddy dirt/noise removal algorithm that threw all the detail away on the THX LD releases. If it is the pressing master then unfortunately all the trails and smearing will be in there and I would expect to get a better experience on the X0 release.
