This was my SUPER rough idea with the Sith Whisper stuff I was working on:

What’s the source for those whispers? They sound more similar to the ones Rey hears when the door opens in the DSII throne room. Not to mention that they are feminine, and better able to tap into her inner conflict.

JKMaxx posted a linked file that had some audio files of “Sith whispers” from a KOTAR game. They were actually characters whispering, but work well.

I’m playing around with the Rey in DSII scenes and I think it may work well.

“Because you are a PalpaWalker?”

Yep, they play when you’re in the Rakata box and the Sith Academy. Like I said, some (most?) of them are in plain English, which you only notice if you listen very closely to the isolated clips, so they still work. I’ve been working on the dagger scene for my own edit and what I’m doing is reversing a few of them then playing them over each other.

Kylo’s delivery of “You…Are a Palpatine” is too on-the-nose for my taste 😄

I wonder if the close up of the knife with the outline of the Deathstar in the background could be played with so that the background is replaced with the door.

Yeah, that’s the idea! Nice work. The only thing missing is some sort of shot of her holding the knife, but I think it’ll work well enough.

Well, Jonh and Poppa, you are up for the knife being held out at some point! lol!

Edit: finally I did something helpful!

I like that! Not anything before or after, just a little allusion.

What’s the source, a quiet portion of the same Samuel Kim video?

Maybe we can settle on something like this and avoid having two audio tracks.

Used part of this, I can upload part of the track I used if you want.

I like the more subtle approach if one was to add that to the scene.

Hal, want me to send a full quality of the Sith whispers clip? Or will ya make your own?

Please do!

And, is that from the actual Solo OST or is it fan made??

Was a basic attempt to remove the dialogue/sounds FXs from Solo scene, Lucasfilm hasn’t yet published the Solo Maul track

Here’s my take on the dagger scene that I’ve cobbled together for my personal edit. There’s still a bit of abruptness with the following audio cue, but overall I think it works. Maybe you also could use Poe saying “heads up” in yours?

Also, I believe I remember reading a few pages back that Hal or someone else was reluctant to have Leia say “Come home,” since ‘home’ could be interpreted as ‘come die with me’ or something like that? As I was rewatching the whole Kef Bir sequence on my TV to make sure everything flowed properly, I noticed that Han also tells Ben to “come home”, so I don’t think Leia saying it would have any more issue than that does? If anything, it might reinforce the idea that she’s the one behind Han’s appearance.

Subtle Duel Of The Fates (Music Only) Solo SFX reduction

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMhhUl8c2jA

This is not the exact Solo song, I cut it around to get the main Duel Of The Fates parts in, audio quality on this should be sufficient.

Yeah, you all convinced me on the “come home” point, provided what Dominic or anyone does with it sounds natural.

And thanks to all for input, resources, and mockups for the Sith whispers. We should be able to pretty solidly put that to rest. The blade compass thing wasn’t the worst thing in the movie, so I wasn’t really even thinking about it, but it’s good to implement a decent workaround.

I think the only whispers like that occur around the Wayfinders in the movie. If so, perhaps I could revisit the whispers that Kylo hears at the beginning, to make Rey’s more unique, presumably to the dagger.

Here’s some artwork I mocked up, obviously not perfect and still a bit boring, but it’s a start. I tried to match it similarly to the first two edits, with some success. I swapped Rey’s head from some other photo, so that all 3 would have the characters facing forwards, but it aint’t 100% so I made a variant just in case

If you are going for the whispers my route with Rey and the dagger, you can use the whispers you used for your rough draft that came from SWTOR ambient music. Those are more masculine, so they could fit with Kylo’s Sith whispers? That way they are both distinct, or at least not using the same sound if you are wanting to go that route!
