Yeah, personally I’d rather conservatively improve Jar Jar than replace him entirely, but there shouldn’t be any competition in this thread; it’s all about ideas and assets, not decisions.

Data analysis is always a great start. Got something to do? Start with a spreadsheet and break that shit down.

I honestly don’t think tweaking up Jar Jar’s voice would be that much work, so long as the voice track is isolated from the music. He can’t have more than 50 relevant lines, and I think a little would go a long way. If I wasn’t focused on Clone Wars I’d pick this up right away.

It’s just about starting it in the right way- get the source file into an editor, watch it through slowly, with each line add it to a spreadsheet and maybe also add a little text over the corner of the video including the timestamp (for ease of future editors replacing it). Video doesn’t need to be high quality as it’s just to help line it up and check lipsync. Cut everything else out, leave the master voice track present (as a source) but muted, make a new voice track to copy to for mucking about with, render. Ideally as two different audio tracks in case people want access to the source still to make their own changes.

I know actually getting the voice right might be a bit of a challenge but he’s so loose and goofy that it must be easier than most to at least get it better than it is.
