I like the new version of the final battle, especially since it only runs 15 minutes. Really streamlines the climax.

Also, really digging the new Jar Jar lines. I agree that there need to be adjustments made, but it’s a step in the right direction. I notice in the the first clip that the old lines have a slight echo to them as well as the crunching of leaves under Jar Jar & Qui-Gon’s footsteps, while the new clips are comparatively quiet, no echo, and no ambient noises. Jar Jar also cuts himself off saying he’s “Representative of the Republic Senat-Oooo & mesa be big help with the negotiations,” which I do have ideas on how to smooth out.

Similar issues of ambience exist in clip 2, but the lines help paint an entirely different picture of Jar Jar. My only other complaint is moving the “not rushing in line” up a second or so to hide the fact that he speaks without moving his mouth.

The last clip is the second best, with Jar Jar sounding a bit like a robot at the end where he introduces himself to Padme as “Representative Biiinkss,” but again, it’s nice to see Jar Jar caring about things outside of himself. There just needs to a bit of smoothing out to make the lines flow naturally, maybe toy around with changing lines slightly. As a shot in the dark:

“Thatsa lookin’ like a Jedi robe” -> “That looks like a Jedi robe”
“Oooo & Mesa be big help…” -> “Mesa/Wesa be big help…”
“Mesa thinkin’ Queenie would help us…” -> “Mesa thinkin Queenie’d help us…”

If anyone skilled in audio editing wants to give it a shot, let us know how it goes.
