Depends what you want to do, on the PC I tend to use Premiere Pro and After Effects and Combustion depending on the requirements.
On the Mac FCP and shake and combustion.
I've never liked the workflow in Vegas, but that is really a personal choice thing.

If you want something F-A-S-T, install ubuntu linux as a dual boot and run cinelerra (it is free) and you may never look at premiere or vegas again.

SSR: It looks like we're just confusing ourselves back and forth.

That's why I suggested to Adywan he try tot do both ending if it isn't too much trouble. That way we could get the one he likes best in the movie, and the other in a deleted scene.

There is of of course a third option that might be superior to both, however. Why not have the 2004 ESB dialogue take place IN Vader's cockpit. Assuming an Emperor hologram could be inserted in the shots (there are plenty to choose from, and his face could be shrouded in shadow to avoid lip-sync problems), I really think that would be the best way to go. It gets Palpatine in the film, it doesn't use an ESB scene, it incorporates the "Vader returns to Coruscant" idea, and it relys important dialogue that would be otherwise out of place. It would also negate the need to film a fan in an Imperial uniform, which might prove to be a difficult thing to lock down.

So what do you say, Adywan?

Well hopefully i shall have my EpIV DVD all wrapped up in a couple of months and then i'm not going to begin work on EPV until after the Definitive Box set comes out later this year (if it even exists) just in case there is any new footage included. So, count me in. I'll help as much as i can. but please don't expect miracles, after all my EP IV is the first time i have ever attempted to do any effects and i have no knowledge of 3D effects programs.

Personally, I'd like the discovery of the whole Maul/Grevious thing a bit earlier. I think we need to introduce a small theme where the connection is made and some would be able to comment that while he's still twisted and evil, Maul is now more machine than man.

1) Where can I get this?

2) Forgive this n00b question, but what is "the GOUT"?

For Grievous=Maul, my idea has always been to have this revealed to Obi-Wan on Utapau, in the close-ups of their eyes. Taking one of Obi-Wan's two "It can't be"s from the security hologram scene would sell it, IMO. A voice actor would be required to dub over Grievous and whatever lines Maul might have in our Episode I. Grievous' Episode III dialogue would make or break this connection, so it needs to be top-notch. Also having the Nemoidians refer to Maul as Grievous in Episode I. I think we all like the name Maul better, but there are just too many characters who refer to Grievous by name in III to get around it.

As for the duel, I actually have a rough edit of an uninterrupted Anakin/Obi-Wan duel I'll upload this weekend. I think it works rather well, but in the context of the film it would probably be best to cut away at least once. Who knows, that's a long way off. Anyway, hopefully it'll be up by Saturday.

wow... this skewed off-topic...

Anyway... what I was trying to say was that the "style" of the newer Star Wars games, comics, ect. feels like some show-offy modernish RPG "cool" thing...
and no where near the film's style... that's what I was trying to say... and it makes me feel like a bunch of "we're so cool" designers designing them, not knowing
the real "feel" of Star Wars.

ok carry on.

Actually, the ice in really old icebergs and glaciers can be blue.

That being said, the snow on Hoth wasn't blue when the movies were first shown on the big screen.

Still, it does look kind of neat in a way.

Republic commando stared out interestingly enough but killing wave after wave of battle droids got boring fast. There was nowhere near enough times to fully utilize the unique skills of the squad mates either. I still haven't managed to finish it. The Multiplayer side of things wasn't really worthwhile either.

I'll grant that Jedi Outcast was pretty good, Some parts were fun and I have played through a number of times, But there were parts that were a bit bland.

I've got nothing against battlefronts - [except that I can't pilot any of the ships to save my life] but it's not something you can jump in on your own and bash around. Yeah I know it's not supposed to but that's just me.

Rebel assault has got to be one of the most frustrating games i've ever played.

Did anyone actually really honestly like Revenge of the Sith: The Video Game?

When I spend in the neighbourhood of $100 [AUD] on a game i expect to be entertained and feel that i've got my moneys worth - if crap games had slashed prices I guess I wouldn't mind so much.

Yes the lightsaber boils the water all around the lightsaber itself, but it wouldn't do so all around Fisto. The heat from a lightsaber dissipates a very short distance from the blade itself. At the beginning of the Qui-Gon door cutting scene you see the lightsaber draw a very fine line, then they shut the bigger doors. At this point he started using the force to extend the lightsabers heat enough to melt the whole friggin door instead of cut into it.

Nope, the colours on the DVD have never really bothered me - I may be in the minority, but I like the blue cast to the Tantive IV and the caves on Hoth - I think it makes the ship look less clinical and makes Hoth look less like a set.

The colours have been desaturated slightly in the desert (between the first shots of the droids and R2 in the canyon) and the brightness raised in one shot as Luke steps out to look at the sunset.

I don't know about Republic Commando or Battlefront, because I never played them, but I know Knights of the Old Republic was a good game, but it also wasn't by Lucasarts, but was outsourced by them to be done by another company. So Lucasarts didn't actually have much of anything to do with it.
