Okay, finally had a chance to watch the episode and go back through the thread. *cough* Spoilers *cough* 😉 (Thanks for going back through and hiding them!)
I think we should just leave the Palpy clones as-is. Changing the clone design might make it harder to identify who’s in the tank, and the red feels very “Sith-y.” Plus, just like the purple lightsaber, I like that the red color cuts through some of the monochrome Exegol murk. It makes the shot a little more visually interesting, imo.
If you want a lore-based reason, just say that the new version has rotted with age. Or different planets use different compounds.
Did a little more smoothing out on “I” and “am a.” Is it any better?
Also, maybe I’ve watched this clip too many times, but what if Palps says, “I am all the Sith. You are nothing. A scavenger girl is no match for the power in me.” Sade, you’re the expert - did we try it that way already? Would it make any significant difference to the scene?
Hell if I know.
lol i dont know why, but i thought it was funny at the end of the clip it zoomed in on palp’s face. but in all seriousness, I’m not sure if it truly matters if switching the “i am all the sith, u are nothing, a scavenger girl is no match for the power in me”. The “I am a jedi” line seems fluid. Though is there any way to stretch out the “am a jedi” part? funny because taking out the word “all” makes the line feel shorter and the nuance diminishes slightly imo.
Haha, I’m glad you liked the close up; that was basically me just cracking myself up at 3:00am.
I just tried slowing down the line a little, and to my ear, it completely loses the already soft “a” sound. Weirdly, I just hear “am Jedi,” so I think we might be stuck at the original tempo. (If anyone else wants to try changing the speed, I can share the .wav once we get the clip locked in.)
