Just to throw out some potential lines people could say:
“For Leia!”
“We’re with you, Poe/General Dameron!”
“[insert callsign], standing by.”Callsign ideas: Phoenix, Ace, Phantom, Wraith, Red, Blue, Gold, Green, Wolf, Wraith, various planet names (like Naboo Fleet, Bespin, Ryloth, etc.). You could either say Leader or Squadron, or a specific number. Maybe people could think of some clever easter eggs to throw in at this point.
I think the “all wings report in” moment would be great for the reveal shot, as we hear all these people raise their voices in solidarity. Then throughout the battle we could get various lines like, “For Skywalker!” I do think add voices to the battle would definitely help make that incomprehensible number of digital ships feel more like real, living people joining the fight.
PS: Dibs on “Rogue Leader”
I’m not sure if that has been mentioned here but did anyone else see @reylochriso on twitter’s fan edit?
For the fleet scene he asked a few voice over actors to record the dialogue from the audiobook and it worked out brilliantly. Unfortunately he cut Lando’s ‘there are more of us’ line, which I rather like, but other than that it was flawless.
I’d feel bad sharing footage without his permission, does anyone know if he’s on here?
