How did you keep your opening titles so perfectly in sync with the monitor Palpatine was watching?  Is that a Vegas feature?

I was a bit confused when Anakin stopped Mace.  You changed it so that he blocked Mace's lightsaber blade, but then Anakin immediately cut off his hand anyway.

And I thought it was funny how Anakin was still so late to get to the battle even though he came with him.  Obviously there wasn't much you could do about that...

I'm glad someone finally mentioned my opening title :) . It's actually nothing too fancy - I just used 'Pan&Scan' to move the text block down. At the end (when Palpy turns off the screen), I used the 'TV Simulator' plug-in to screw around with the horizontal sync, and faded it out.

PS: I did the same thing with something more risque...but I can't post that on YouTube...lol.

 

I had Ani block Mace's saber to create a connection with ROTJ. Basically Ani blocks Mace, waits a moment, and then swings up to 'dis-arm' him.

 

As far as Ani's late arrival to the party (even though he got a lift with Mace), you're right. Ani appears out of nowhere...but there was nothing I could really do with that. Maybe Mace told him to hang back, just in case things got nasty?

Oh, that is definitely an improvement! Well done.

Thanx :D
