here this might be easier :-)
That was really cool and well put together.

I had to give up after three minutes when the music was much louder than the dialogue.

I often have trouble with the background masking the speech, but this has to be the worst, as far as I can remember.

I could hear every single word - clearly. And I'm an 'ol fart. :-)

Sorry to be a party pooper, but how am I meant to see the awsomeness of Vegas as an editing tool and/or grading tool when I'm looking at a mish-mash of stuff that has already been edited and graded? I don't know what the original looked like and what Vegas has added. The different sources presumably accounted for the wide variety of quality I saw between the clips - which i found quite a distraction. Likewise the jumping about probably worked for a Star Wars fan but for me - it was just confusing.
That's not to say i didn't find some good stuff in it, but as a film - well I'm not a fan of the subject so it was always going to be meaningless - as a demo of Vegas? Dunno, for the reasons stated above.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but all I see is a collection of clips, fading in and out. My first NLE, Pinnacle's Studio7, could do that 13 years ago.
And the dialogue needs a 3db boost.
But I do agree that this project required an intimate knowledge of the Star Wars films and a lot of labor gathering clips.

Apple Jax, I admire your intention to show how good Vegas is, but the best way to do this is to show video which has been captured, edited, processed and rendered in Vegas.

I won't discourage any cheerleaders for Vegas - I'm often one myself. The best that could happen is that someone seeing this video may decide to give Vegas a try, and they'll like the workflow.
That said, I believe you'll find very few finished projects these days that are made possible solely by the NLEs they're cut on. The vision of the editor is generally what stands out in a good cut, regardless of the software involved. Because all NLEs today - from free, open source to the outrageously expensive - have virtually the same tools on the timeline, viewing a great video is no longer a promo for the NLE that was used.
The competition for professional users today lies primarily in the areas of stability, project/media management and project interchange with other software. Some of those are still works in progress for us. But I'll keep cheering what we have and hoping for more.
