The overall sync is unaffected, but I removed the Poe interior shot and allowed this extended shot to run for the duration of what was cut before meeting back up with Wedge at the point where that shot begins.

Here is the shot with visuals and sound lid in. what do you think?

Fortunately the line doesn’t feel like a cut off, it just has a kind of awkward … pause between Poe’s line and the person that says “For Skywalker.” I would almost try to add someone to say “roger” or something to fill that gap and then the “for Skywalker.”

“Because you are a PalpaWalker?”

+1 to cutting the Poe shot out. It’s nice to see the extended shot in full

Well, it’s still truncated because otherwise there’s need to be some serious audio work for the music and foley.

And I’ll try moving up the “for Skywalker” cries to right as Poe finished his sentence.

Ah, I didn’t even realize it isn’t the full thing. Still nice to see a smoother, longer shot that includes the three Resistance ships.

Here’s a pretty good resource of Oscar Isaac voiced Poe lines. Would any of these work?

Hal I’m sure you already listened through that whole mess of Disney Infinity Poe Dameron lines, but the shouted “Defensive formation!” at 11:08 and “The faster the better!” at 11:20 seemed like they could be maybes to my ear?

Tonality and vocal quality could easily cause it to not work like the TFA lines, I’m sure… But just a thought. Or just use some of that grunting improvisation at the beginning. Heh.

I think it really does work the way you laid it in with the new shot and doesn’t require full removal of Poe’s line, even if a suitable addition can’t be found.

Were there any explicit references to Rey’s dad being a failed clone of Palpatine?

I do not think the timeline would add up on that, plus it would feel really forced. Another clone? Fully with HAL on this one, we should not even try.

I was asking if there was any direct implication of it in the theatrical film. Because that actually is the explanation in canon; Rey’s father was a “failed” Palpatine clone. I want any trace of that gone just as much as anyone else does, lol.

Save the Sebastian Shaw Ghost! Save the dream…!

There is not. That information came from the novelisation.

I know it was from the novel, but I was asking if there are any even subtle hints at all that this is the case in the actual film. This was already answered to me, but thank you for confirming it!

There isn’t any indication whatsoever of that within the film itself. Kylo just says that he’s the son of the Emperor. He doesn’t even look like Palpatine. I don’t, in my head, consider him a failed clone because it seems really unnecessary.

I’m pretty sure its confirmed somewhere.

I just can’t forget the stupid look on his face when he says, “You’ll be safe. I promise.”

Yes, safe on a barren planet as a indentured servant, always desperate for food and fighting for survival.
It just makes zero sense, man. Of course the only explanation, that doesn’t require you to bend over backwards to explain it, is that her parents were selfish people who did not care about her safety.

EDIT: Sorry, not trying to start a debate. Just a thought.

Wow, that is garbage!

There’s nothing within the film itself to at all hint toward Rey’s father being a clone rather than a regular son.

I mean showing there is some Palpatine clones being worked on in this edit is enough atleast, I think the current explanation is his son/clone wasn’t force sensitive so they cast him out and years later his daughter inherited Palpatine’s power.

That is the current canonical explanation. 😩

Honestly, I think it thematically makes WAY more sense if Rey’s parents were still just selfish people. That way she has to break the cycle of abuse the same way she has to break the cycle of Sith succession.

You’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Am I making Carrie Fisher’s ghost proud?”
Well, are ya, punk?

If he wasn’t force sensitive, then how is Rey? And at any rate, it can’t be something she inherited from Palptine then, right?

I don’t see any upside to making him a clone in the novelization. Lol

Rey’s dad just had midichlorian dysfunction, and Palpatine was REALLY embarassed about his clone son.

Midichlorians. Some got 'em, some don’t.

It was a way of making it about important families and also not inherited… but done in the most confusing, contradictory, and unsatisfying way.
