Clever, and a good way to include a little of the mono mix, assuming that’s the source for the cleaner sound.
Not hurrying to do so, but yes. Letting it breathe, and intending for it to be branded as final. If you skim back through the thread you’ll find a list of what’s done and what’s not yet.
Not happening here, is the practical answer.

That is pretty cool! I already removed that whole scene though. IMHO the Death Star doesn’t need to be in the prequels at all, and I prefer to leave it purely as a product of the Empire, as though only they would even think to design such a thing.
We’ve got jackets. Sending you a PM.
For one thing, the scene wouldn’t involve any mention of Kijimi in the way I envision it being cut. It would just be about how Palpatine is threatening the galaxy with a generic threat of destruction if they don’t stand down and Poe is acting general. But then the problem would be how it may be too short of a scene.
What makes you think the AI line wouldn’t work there? Just not enough space?
Oh, like they’re just hearing more Palpatine ranting over the radio? Not sure but I can take a look later and see about it. I don’t think it’s super necessary though.

The only relevant bit is about two seconds for a character to say, “Leia made you acting general.” I really do not want to re-include the scene because Ascendant has been better not to have had it.
I wish there was more room to maneuver but I wonder about an AI line for Poe as he starts to speak with the deceased Leia. “‘Acting general?’ I gotta tell you, I don’t really know how to do this…”
That almost certainly wouldn’t work effectively. But you do raise a good plot-related concern. If it can be alleviated another way I’m open to that, but not to reinstating the Kijimi sequence.
I still don’t see the point of reinstating that scene. At present we’re able to have a small stretch of the movie that is not too bombastic, focusing in on some character sequences.
Wild idea. The holograms in ANH were done by filming the footage displayed on a TV. Would… would that look good if you tried it that way?
new clip, cool idea? or should it be left out?

audio is still a wip
Always seemed like a solid idea, but I think this is the best execution that’s been done.
That scene was removed because Kijimi isn’t destroyed. I don’t see how that part could be kept without this.
And as far as a line, I’m not sure.
I agree that I’d have liked to see Luke haunt Kylo Ren in Ep9. But it doesn’t feel right to wedge in a sentence or two over voiceover. Luke is clearly introduced to us on Ach-To and by then there’s no Kylo Ren to haunt. I just don’t think it works.
And that scene sounds real good, JJB. Would it be too cheesy to use ‘love’ instead of compassion? It’s a little more tied into the friendship theme of this movie, and more of a direct lift from the DOTF script.
That all sounds great. And yes, I already have folded in the “come home” line. 😃
Any other opinions? Leia is implied to have discovered Rey’s lineage, and not being told how is a wash compared to the theatrical anyway. And we get to link Rey’s resolution to hold to compassion to Leia. Now Ach-To feels cohesive again. Thank you, JJB!
That new spy line is perfect, JJB! It’s actually really funny, and helps the following line about his “first laser battle” too.
Here is everything that remains incomplete or undecided about V5:
We need a line for Luke to serve as something like, “Leia sensed it during your training” to impy Leia learned about Rey’s lineage somehow between films.
Undetermined about a potential line for Kylo to suggest that the dagger “revealed” to Rey her parents’ fate at the hands of Ochi, to support our change for the dagger to be a mystical revelatory device rather than Rey sensing “horrible things” it has done.
That’s it, as far as I have kept track! It’s a very short list. I’m not in a rush, but whenever V5 can be complete, and it’ll take a while most likely for me to recompile everything, then it can happily sit there and wait for the ‘Rey Nobody’ components.
That sounds great!
JJB, I am finding that the “I appear to be some sort of spy” line takes just a little too long to fit into the moment properly.
Could we try a few alts for this one that are a little shorter? Maybe “Some sort of spy, I think” or something like that?

Yes, awesome! Y’know, I would be happy to receive as many lines and ideas for lines for 3PO that you can come up with.
You got it.
That’ll be a ‘take the day off work’ kind of day.

Boy, did we ever do the sequels! Link has all of them.
