That’s good to hear! Starlight already has a lot of radical ideas that you’ve figured out how to actually work, and I also think you’ve gotten to a good point with it.
The only other significant addition I’d thought of was letting Rey have a very brief dream/vision of the island before she jolts awake in the interrogation room. Since Rey has her bigger dream at the end of Starlight, it might be a nice way to prime the viewer for that moment. It also ties in with Kylo “seeing the island”, and Rey saying she saw the island “in dreams”. It could literally just be one shot of the island.
That would be beneficial, I’ll keep working on it.
That idea for giving TR-8R lines is a GREAT idea! I don’t think I’ve heard anyone suggest that before. The scene is weirdly silent, no dialogue or music, so I think dialogue would work well there!
It’s an idea I’ve had for a while but it might have gotten lost in the shuffle until now.
I might be able to grab a voice actor friend who can help with the male lines, and I have audio recording equipment. I think the female First Order Officer would work better if they had an English accent. Maybe we could write up a line list or something.
Sounds good! Hopefully the new lines don’t go through as many revisions as the crawl 😉
Speaking of, I’ve been hard at work on recreating the original '77 crawl font, and though I’ve had to guess on some characters it’s basically complete. Here it is in purple overlaid with the original crawl:
