On the small cons, as already stated by other members, I am not a huge fan of the audio additions:

  • KoR voices are well done but I prefer them to stay silence (I actually often prefer less dialogues in Star Wars šŸ˜ƒ)
  • the same goes with ā€œfor Skywalker !ā€ added bit (even if Iā€™m more ok with this one)
  • Duel of the Fates cue is very hard to notice: I wouldnā€™t mind it being slightly louder if there was a V2 of the edit one day

I would then welcome an alternate audio track so I could chose if I want talkative or silent KoR. Itā€™s nice to provide both tracks Hal šŸ˜‰

I am thinking about creating an alternate track to add the complete Palpatine message. Donā€™t know yet if I will follow through the idea but here is a first mock up using the front channels (levels are not much corrected, itā€™s only a POC):

I donā€™t have any other audio edits ideas though.

I followed through the idea and I am almost finished. Hal kindly provided me with the uncompressed tracks to work with, using the tracks without KoR voices, adding two alterations:

  • I have implemented Palpatine full broadcast just after the opening crawl. I must say, it would work even better with the original crawl stating ā€œThe dead speak! The galaxy has heard a mysterious broadcast, a threat of REVENGE in the sinister voice of the late EMPEROR PALPATINE.ā€, but it also works well in the context of this new crawl;

  • Since I am not always a huge fan of created sound content on fanedits, I have reinstalled the ā€œcivil fleet arrivalā€ audio from the theatrical version. It was a very well done addition guys, itā€™s just I prefer to keep the pure musical original version.

I was thinking about using Duel of the fate cue in a more obvious way, but as I am not familiar with the movie enough, I am not sure where to implement it in a seamless way. If anyone has a idea I could play with, tell me.

I have adjusted Burbin subtitles in 3 languages to go along with this alternate audio track 2. I will make a final check and begin to import a 640kbps output by today or tomorrow. I will probably share it to anyone interested through a MEGA link.
