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?

PM sent.
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.
Especially since no version of Solo I’d ever want to see would keep the Darth Maul scene, I just thought it was perfect to use the music from it. There was a TROS TV spot that had a little DOTF music playing over a snipped of the duel too.
Edit: I? We? I can’t remember anymore.
Awesome, thanks! I’ll see how it plays but I agree that it oughtta make that little gap in the music feel better.
And that podcast episode was fun to hear. They focused on Spence’s edit ‘The Final Order,’ acknowledging this project as its source material and sort of talking about both at once.
That ought to be a fun listen!
And can someone isolate the drums from that? I like the idea and it wouldn’t feel like tracked music from TPM if it’s just the drums.
I… don’t think a force vision of Chewie sounds too exciting though.
While I am reviewing the project… did you say that the Zorri lines could not be gotten how you would want them? Does that mean you don’t think the changes to Poe’s backstory would work?
And do you think we could still try a line for Kylo Ren to suggest that the dagger “revealed” her parents’ fate to Rey? (The line should not be this verbose, but the idea is the dagger is not her parents’ murder weapon but a dark side relic that shows people things because… reasons.)
EDIT: Actually, the line about Skywalker sounds really good! I see what you mean about the voice modulation, but at least for an isolated line that takes place not in close-up, I don’t think it’s a problem. So that line works, in any event!
Would it work to add some hint about one of her attachments prompting her sudden resignation from her training? Or that she was taken by her emotions or something to account for the look on her face?
“She was quick to learn in our training. Leia sensed something she feared: the death/loss of her son. She turned aside from her Jedi path to serve the galaxy through diplomacy. In her life, Leia lost everything, and everyone, but she still chose to love. A thousand generations live in you now. But this is your fight. You’ll take both sabers to Exegol.”
This avoids some AI to have to mix in seamlessly in the same location (Luke in room, not in flashback), and maybe lets us get what we want without pressing our luck.
Also, I pulled up and played with the alternate Kylo Ren lines, and I don’t think any of them are improvements, at least as I am able to do anything with them. The “Captain Hux” line I can’t seem to get the reverb to sound good, whereas RogueLeader had supplied me with processed audio to work with. The dyad line delivery is not as good as the line in the film, and I feel that out of what is available the patch job sound better overall. Also, I think your prior “You were right” still sounds perfectly good without leaving anything wanting. I hope that doesn’t come across poorly; I appreciate working on these, and it is good to have alts.
Thanks for sharing! Always good to hear of these being enjoyed.
I like that. Hard to imagine that we’ve made the Leia knowing about Rey being a Palpatine into something I kinda like.
And you say that dialogue is inspired from the DOTF script?
Trying to think of a line of dialogue to perfectly thread the needle to replace “Leia knew it too” without implying she or Luke knew during the events of TLJ.
I can’t begin to imagine the tedium involved. Fantastic, and will be wonderful to see.
I’m not sure why that would be. I suppose you could try remuxing it to only include the main audio track.
