Looks like it’ll take me about an hour per remaining Jar Jar episode of TCW to cut them into the sources video, so I’m going to pace myself on that. But Bombad Jedi is done, though not yet rendered.
Looking over the voices, a lot are very clean, and there’s absolutely loads that could be useful to us.
- A good few "I"s and "I’m"s to replace "Mesa"s.
- A lot of more formal language that could also tighten him up, or imply a prior relationship with the Queen: “My lady”, “It’sa pleasure to be seeing yousa.” “Mesa hopin so, milady.” “Mesa never let anything happen to you, Queenie.”
- Quotes which show genuine agency and give him more character: “We musta having try and saving her.” “We can do it!” “Don’t be fearing, Padmé, wesa coming.” “Hang on, my Lady” "“Millions will be starving and dying without your help.” “Mesa won’t let you down.” “Thinking! Nosa thinking. Mesa thinking Padme would help us, has helped us, big time. Wesa gota to help her now.” “Mesa not lettin that happen, milady.” “Mesa need to save the Queenie!” “Mesa understands.”
- Quotes relating to helping out: “Mesa saved you.” “If these droids attacking us, Padmé’s probably in trouble!” “Oh, it’sa nothing.” “Ani, mesa have an idea.” “Mesa proposing-” “Mesa friends can help.”
- Quotes which could help him identify Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, and their introductions: “Thatsa Jedi robe” “Jedi? Where’sa Jedi?” “I’m just a Gungan.” “Mesa doing my best.” “Disa Jedi is mesa pallo, hesa comin here to be helpin mesa solve your troubles.” “Uh, mesa not big with the Force. Yousa got the wrong Gungan.” “Maxi big the Force, Masterin [Mace], but howsa we gonna find the Queenie? She’s still a prisoner.”
- Other good quotes: “Theysa won’t be recognising me.” “I made a very good friend.” “Begging your highness, whatsa he doing here?” “Oh, yesa, my lady. He give mui fiery speeches, blaming Naboo for everything. Mesa say it couldn’t be true.” “Thesa Gungans are proud. With thisa mood at the moment, mesa the last person they listen to now.” “Well, mesa more of a deep thinker.” “Mesa think yousa have to deal” “Queenie, but yousa let mesa handle dis, I promise da Jedi Master will besa no trouble for you.” “Mesa no bombad warrior, but mesa swearin to find yousa Queenie” “Okeday! Wesa make a bombad team” “Mesa need to be brave.” “Whysa you thinkin they want Queenie so badly?”
Of particular note are quotes I think could help sell the angle where Jar Jar is already a representative and their native local guide:
- “Meesa on a diplomatic mission.”
- “Representative Binks of Naboo.”
- “Mesa Representative Binks of the Republic Senate and hesa with mesa.”
- “Yup! The Queen is mesa pallo. Mesa knowin her for a longo time.”
- “Queenie was me bombad pallo for many years. Shesa knew there be troubles here. Dats why she calling mesa to helpin in your time of need.”
- “But wesa must hurry. That city, itsa mooie big. Wesa have to move fast”
- “Mesa bet they’re bringing the Queenie this way.” [good for the scene where they drop in and save her?]
