I would be in favor of not “echo-ing it/radio-ing it” (don’t know how to say it 😃), since it’s a complete sentence and for sound continuity it would be less jarring to avoid toying with sound filters.
What’s the current state of this edit by the way ? I was under the impression it was near the finish line. In order to follow its progress more easily it would be cool to have a “first post update” with the current status of all the ideas implemented or in progress to be implemented.
The feeling is that it’s near completion, but the Leia and Sella scene needs to be integrated into the edit, and for this to work it will require pushing the music of the scene back into the D’Qar establishing shot, and this will probably require reconstructing the audio effects for several shots in the sequence. So there’s still some work to be done, as well as figuring out exactly what to do with the trench run. If everything else is done and the edit is just waiting for the Ackbar line, I wouldn’t mind just cutting it and returning to the edit later for V3. I expect the release of TJL may change some of the interpretation of this film as well as providing more material for better edits.
