Help: Audio Advice / Help sought for 'Windu vs Palpatine' scene in ROTS for my Fan Edit

Hello,

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this…

Maybe about a year ago I got half way through editing Windu vs Palpatine. I was removing the three other Jedi so that it was just a 1v1 battle but I eventually just forgot about it. Currently i’m thinking of just scrapping it or going back to work and finishing it. I have a problem though. As Windu says “…you’re under arrest chancellor”, four lightsabers ignite over the top of this line. I have tried messing about with the audio channels but found no success and I would much rather not cut this line.

Is there anyone with better audio knowledge that can help? Thanks.

Does Sam Jackson say something similar in another movie you could borrow from?

Honestly, I never even thought of that. Guess Ill have to do a bit of research to find an “under arrest” quote. Thanks. Maybe he has played a cop role before. I’m guessing removing the sounds and leaving the voice is just an impossible task.

Just for the sake of it, ill post this link here. https://vimeo.com/335031755

Its a ‘test’ I did a while back while working on it. More work has been done since then. The moving corridor shot is almost complete. Might post the full version of the scene here if I complete the whole thing.

I gave it a shot

Wow. Thanks so much. You really did an awesome job on that.

I cant remember what stage I was at when I last worked on this project but Ill make sure the video for this part is complete, put in that dialogue, add the music etc and see how it goes. Ill post it here.
