I was never big on the Knights’ fan-made dialogue, but I knew there were a lot of people here that loved it.

To me, they shouldn’t have “soul”… especially as they’re just grunts with nothing to do.

With “soul” I mean that they have more tridimensionality. Of course they didn’t say many words, but in my opinion explain a little bit their actions.

I don’t think the new dialogue does anything to explain their actions or humanize them in any way. It just sounds awkward and out of place.

I was hoping it would (I’d actually avoided listening to any of the samples, I wanted to hear it fresh when V1 dropped without all the iterations coloring my perception), but it sadly did not. It’s really the only blemish to me in the whole package.

Could somebody help me answer this ?

Actually my question was also how to know if we have the latest versions. How could I compare the versions on my hard drive to the versions on your Drive ?

There should be a way to differentiate versions.
At the very least, we could differentiate them by exact size.

In my opinion dialogues of Knights of Ren, adds a little bit of soul to them. Right, isn’t enough but it’s better than the treatment that they give them in the official released of the movie. About that, which is the original source of this dialogues? I read that is taken from axlanian and krausfadr’s projects. Where can I see this? If there is a fanmade video, of course.

A compilation of all KoR dialogue added to TROS Resurgence is below. The dialogue was written by different members of the OT forum and voiced by poppasketti, mr benjamino, axlanian, and axlanian’s wife.

Note this is not the same as Hal’s version. He used some of the KoR dialogue but implemented it differently in Ascendant.

Yeah, and I appreciate the delicate balance about the KoR lines. I hope we hit a good middle ground that gets to include them but not past their welcome.

Hal, I think it’s really cool you included some of the KoR lines but of course not everyone is going to like them. Maybe on a future release you could just provide an alternate audio track without them, then everyone is happy. On a blade runner edit I reduced and drastically changed Deckard’s narration. A lot of people liked it, but not everyone was a fan, so it was easy for me just to make two audio tracks in the release to keep more people satisfied.

I’ve found this edit which changes the color of Rey’s robes; it fits in better with her struggle with the dark side. What do you think, Hal? Do you plan on doing a similar edit/change?

I don’t mind it, but I certainly don’t have the ability to do that. I’m not sure outright black robes would be all that appropriate, though a greyish color could have been nice. Anything to distinguish it from her costume in TFA, and it would be a meeting ground between her TFA and TLJ wardrobes.

It strikes me as a huge job, though, BUT IF someone did want to go through all the work for her entire screentime across the film, I would include it. But… that’d be a huge job. So, I just say “if.” Not asking for it, but would accept it if it were to be found to exist.

My stance on revising fan edits.

What a great improvement over the original! Thanks for your hard work. Dunno if I have the clout here to make suggestions, but I thought I’d shoot for it anyways (given how minor it is).

What if you moved Leia’s body turning to a ghost earlier in the film as opposed to near Kylo’s death? It would keep the consistency of Jedi turning to ghosts immediately after death and wouldn’t conflict with her added “always” ghost dialogue during the Be With Me scene at the end.

Thematically it makes the most sense for her to disappear after Han disappears from Kylo, as that was the last of her life/energy she used: to send Kylo a memory of Han.

I just checked out dozens of clips of that edit (https://www.youtube.com/c/FixingDisneyStarWars/videos) on youtube it’s mostly not my cup of tea with inserted dialogue that does not sound at all like the actor speaking. There are a few interesting clips though like Rey’s black clothing in TROS and showing her holding the broken saber with Leia in TLJ. And for a “Rey Killed Her Parents Edit” some decent lightning VFX blowing up her parent’s ship. So, the VFX are going to be pretty stellar on that edit just not so much on the SFX.

I do like the idea of changing Rey’s outfit dark but not sure it’s worth the major effort for something not really that critical.

Hi Hal! I’ve been away for a few months (life’s been nuts), so just wanted to check in on if you were still planning to do a Rey Nobody cut. I’m glad you were able to find “a good middle ground” for the KoR voices, I hope I was able to contribute something helpful between that and the fleet scene audio.

Thanks again for all your work!

Aren’t you the guy who was making the Skywalker lightsaber be unstable similar to Kylo’s?
