Kylo Pleads to Rey Rescoring - UPDATED
I tried to build upon many suggestions when I got to finetuning this rescoring.
-Firstly, the music now fades out when we cut to the bridge with Hux. I was able to bridge the rising drums between two points at the end of the piece to do so and it flows pretty well.
-The music has been turned down a notch so that the dialogue can stand out more.
-The music now starts earlier and fades in more gradually.
-The dialogue audio has been polished up.Please tell me how you all like the updates to the scene!
This is a rare case of rescoring with a prequel theme that actually works for me. In fact, I kind of love it.
There’s just one thing that bugs me. Now that the music is so much more dramatic, Kylo’s lines about her parents being ‘filthy junk traders’ sounds a bit quotidian and out of place. This is also a result of Rian’s penchant for having characters overexplain things, so I’d really like to hear a version where Kylo is silent after Rey says ‘They were nobody’. Maybe just skip right to ‘You have no place in this story’, and maybe show her reaching out to take Kylo’s hand before cutting to the cruiser turning around.
This would also avoid the confusion of Rey’s vision where she clearly sees a ship flying away from Jakku.
