Hal 9000

V4 was good, but V5 will leave nothing on the table.
And a workprint is available.

PM sent.

Anyone have a link to this please?

I gotchu. 😉

Good to hear, thanks for sharing!

And I’m aware of that subtitle issue from where I snagged the srt from. It’s been fixed for next release. Still may be waiting a while all the same.

It’s pretty well implied already.

And thanks!

It’s not in my department. But once the components are finished, I’ll be happy to slot them in.

Of course, JJB!

And I’ll go back to that vision moment; the background ambience is cobbled together from very little, so I’m sure there’s an opportunity to tweak what you’re talking about, DrVibble. Thanks.

Yes, as of yesterday. If you have access to my Drive, it’s in the TROS folder.

I just replaced the workprint with a new one that has fixed audio issues. I did not reencode the video stream, but I did address what Nev pointed out about ghost Luke.

Thanks for the feedback so far, and I’ll attend to the audio levels for those lines. What do you think of the youngling ghost line now?

Also, I had thought you didn’t want to use that Exegol line, JJB. I don’t have a problem with it, so I’ll replace it with the one you generated.

Also, I see what you mean about 3PO’s spy line, although I don’t think it poses a problem or causes confusion. I think it’s a funny line, so I am inclined to keep it.

I just put a workprint for V5 into the Drive, so anyone with an existing link can find it in the TROS folder.

There is no color correction applied yet, but otherwise the picture and sound are release candidates. Looking for feedback about anything wrong. Not so much about content we have already discussed in the past.

Thank you! PM me for a link if you don’t already have one to my Drive.

Wasn’t aware of the line, but I’ll slot it in!

I think the line I have is, “Ever since Skywalker, people have been fighting back. And dying.”

But yes, I don’t wish to try to alter Poe’s backstory. But it’s cool to have the option and anyone else is free to.

And I’m not phased by the lack of modulation for the first line of a scene. 😉

Something softer and panned off to one side might help. I’ll play with it and see. It need not be prominent! If George Lucas reached out to us and wanted to add his voice to the fleet cacaphony, it’d still be a mistake for the noise to pause so that he can speak super clearly. As long as that guy’s voice is at all audible, I’m content from an easter-egg perspective.

Glad you spoke up. I’ll see what I can do about that!

V4 is perfectly good, no need to wait. I’ll send you a PM.

Just got HAL9000s edit of TFA and really like the changes made! Would love to watch your edit; could I please get a link?

Thank you!

If you have a link to my project stuff already, that’s also where you’ll find his for the time being.

In general to anybody reading this, please just send me a private message directly instead of cluttering the thread. That said, private messages sent.

Credit to Slumberland for that scene transition in Ep2, by the way.

Thanks for sharing! And you’re right, you’ll have everything you’d need to modify to your own satisfaction.

So while I really liked the delivery of that line, it got cut short every so slightly at the end because of the AI being derpy. It’s been bugging me every time I listen to it. So I’ve gone through a bunch more generations and found a non-derped line that sounds pretty similar.

I’ve updated the links above but I’m not gonna bother posting them again lol.

Big like. Thank you.

The only outstanding item on my list is the dagger. In TROS, it was Ochi’s murder weapon. We have the following:

• Rey sees a flash of her mother during her training vision, and a scream of “NO”
• Rey hears this again when finding the dagger and senses “horrible things have happened” with it
• Rey hears it again when finding the dagger in Kylo’s quarters, and we see it being used to kill her parents

In Ascendant:

• Rey sees a flash of her mother during her training vision, and a scream of “NO”
• Rey finds a dagger, hears Sith whispers, and seems to sense something about it
• Rey hears more Sith whispers when finding the dagger in Kylo’s quarters, and we do see it being used to kill her parents

I wonder if simply re-instating the line, “horrible things have happened with this” would be good. To NOT try to obscure the dagger’s original role as the murder weapon, and possibly just roll it into the dagger as dark conduit that she makes herself step down into in order to get what she wants.

The only thing that isn’t perfect is “Leia sensed it as she trained you.” The AI really drags the last word.

Maybe it’d be enough to avoid the word “trained,” since this is what Rey says a moment later.

“Leia sensed it during your training.”

Luke words his Ben flashback in TLJ similarly.

Absolutely sublime. Bravo.

Could we try generating a few tales of “Final lesson, Rey”?

Eh, doing that doesn’t seem to solve anything. Whether fear led him there but didn’t keep him or kept him there but didn’t lead him there seems to be splitting hairs.

I’d rather leave the line alone, but I appreciate the thought about it.
