Hi, everyone! Ive been a long-time reader of the forums and have now finally decided to join in a little bit.

Anyway, Ive been reading your discussions on both Finns “It’s the First Order, they done it!” dialogue and the waking up of R2 at the end. I have been making my own fan edit where I am working towards the same goals as this edit is (as well as some of my own changes).

I am completely removing Finns previously mentioned line of dialogue and removing the lip flap left over by superimposing different mouth movements over Finn, frame by frame. It looks good and is almost finished as it is missing the running sound as he approaches Han. I see that you are trying to go with changing it to “The First Order, they found us!” but if you wish to have a look, I can upload it later (at work now).

As with the waking of R2, I am trying to give a reason for it by using some C3PO dialogue that was used in Disney’s “Star Tours: The Adventure Continues” attraction. During the ride, C3PO says “A transmission?”, then later “What transmission?”. I used someone’s vacation video on YouTube to grab the dialogue and am in the middle of cleaning it up and removing the sound of the crowd. Using this would result in:

BB8 approaches R2, they beep and boop. Then C3PO appears.
3PO: Ah, my friend, youve come back.
R2: Beep boop
3PO: A transmission? What transmission? (R2 was woken by the recieving of the transmission)
R2: Beep boop
3PO: Master Luke? (Dialogue taken from another movie, probably ROTJ. This implies it was Luke who sent the transmission)
R2: Beep boop
3PO: Hurry, we must go tell the others at once.
And the movie continues…

Im probably less than half way to finishing the R2 scene and not 100% sure if this would work as I um uncertain if R2 can actually recieve transmissions in this way. Anybody know? If any of these edits help in any way, just let me know.
