I improved it! I fixed the volume dip (thank you ForceGhostRecon), mixed better (thank you MalàStrana) with more tie sounds, and added a new score (thank you Kexikus). There’s still room for tweaks and fine tuning but I think it works much better already! Take a look:
Most impressive! Now I only need that shortened Rathtar scene in this edit and my life will be complete! I appreciate you fellas so much, wow.
JEDIT: BTW, now that we have that awesome “they found us” line… should something be done to Maz’s “Those beasts, they’re here!” (at 01:09:30 in the current edit)? Feels a bit funny that no-one informed her about the incoming attack. Not as important as some other cuts though.
I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but why isn’t the castle a seething pandemonium when they see the First Order on the attack? Why doesn’t Finn and company immediately pull up and leave upon seeing this, since running was exactly what he said he would do in such a situation? Why don’t Han and Chewie immediately go to the Falcon to help fend off the attackers? Why in the face of annihilation is everyone instead taking some time out to ogle Luke’s lightsaber? I feel a bit like Yarael Poof here.
