Shouldn’t it be possible to clean up the “sith lord” audio at least a little bit with AI? Would be cool to see it somehow worked it in while Vader is outside the meeting room, followed by cutting to the meeting and playing the scene normally until he comes in.
Over the christmas break I am going to try and finish the sandstorm restored visually removing all scratches etc. I found a new free AI audio restoration tool that has a 7 day demo and was going to have a go at the audio for sandstorm (or the wind machines as it is). I may go ahead and take a stab at sith lord audio and see how it does Will post if others want to see if they can be used. There is a lot of different ways to cut that scene to try and include the sith lord line. Obviously the video with him talking is completely unusable, but if the audio can be saved, might be something to revisit.
