I agree with you about getting the subs out of the way so that you do not miss important details. But keep it consistent. If you put the subs up keep it up during the dialog. It is very annoying to go up down up down down up down up during a dialog. That is just my five cents.😄

Since you actually expressed exactly the thing I’m trying to avoid, what’s your opinion on my current plan? Basically, no changes to dialogue in Star Wars, but moving some subtitles back down in Jedi.

“Jabba, I’ll pay you triple. You’re throwing away a fortune, here!/Don’t be a fool!” – moved down because although it’s close to a Jabba line at the beginning, there’s a 2.5 second gap before Jabba’s next line. Also, the subtitles are over another shot which allows some mental separation from the surrounding ones.

“You will bring Captain Solo and the Wookiee to me.” – similarly, it’s kind of close-ish on the leading side, there’s a 6 second gap before Jabba’s next line, and it’s another shot.

I can provide demo files in the language of your choice, if it’d help.
