I had been hoping to get it out by the end of the year, but since I've been so insanely busy with school, that's not a possibility. However, I do have a month and a half of NOTHING ELSE to do from mid-December to the last week of January. And I'm getting a $300 pair of Sennheiser mixing-quality headphones for Christmas from my parents, which will allow me to really smooth out the audio problems (I'm also learning more about how Avid works in my Edit II class - I'm now 99% confident I can make the audio shifts seamless if I have good headphones).

Most of the work left to do is just frustrating and time-consuming, but when I have nothing else to do, I'll be focusing on this project entirely. (Plus, the most tedious things - the crawl, subtitles, and credits - I can save the After Effects files for and use them as templates for the next two films, speeding up that part of the process quite a bit.)

If I had to guess, I'd say February or March 2010 for Star Wars.
