For those who check here regularly regarding updates: I would assume no one is actively working on a Rey Nobody edit. Seems like many of the people who made some of these test videos are busy with life or have moved on.
I would like to work on this more, but I just don’t have the time to sit down and make any progress.
And I agree that my preferred version of a Rey Nobody edit would keep her parents as desert scumbags.
The scene that I think is the hardest to make work is the Force bond duel in Kylo’s chambers. At least for me, it’s hard to replace dialogue because of how Kylo’s lines echo into the other channels. You could just cut the dialogue and let the fight play out in relative silence, but I also feel something has to be said here.
For what I have tried to do in the past, I wanted Kylo to basically tell Rey that Palpatine will kill her friends/the Resistance. Instead of setting up Rey wanting to kill Palpatine because he killed her parents, you set up Rey wanting to kill Palpatine because he will kill her new family.
I also haven’t found a dialogue combination that I’m really satisfied with, and I don’t want to use an AI voice or anything like that.
