If you end up making an account, I’ll send you all of the audio source files I have.
As for those Leia lines, both of those were actually generated prior to adjectives being available. I believe I provided updated versions of them at some point, I’ll check the drive to see if they are there.
I shot you a PM, Hal.
I’ve replaced “energetic” with “somber”. Here are some more options for Poe’s 2 lines (ideally we should only have to replace 2, not the whole thing):

This one hasn’t been fully tucked in, but has most of Poe’s lines replaced with the AI. The only snippet original to TROS is, “The Emperor and his followers have been–.” And even that line could be replaced. The one available from JJB was too wordy to fit into the footage available. (I could use the longer line if the line, “His followers have been ____ something for years” could be tailored to closely fit his mouth movements, because in these tests I had to use a cutaway shot of Rey when he says this. If I could dub this shot of Poe, I could use that shot for the removed ‘16 hours’ line.)

Not bad, though maybe feels a bit obviously edited to have so much of his monologue be off camera before we finally see him?
You’ll find that with a lot of actual TROS edits. So much ADR in this movie, Poe especially. It’s crazy!
Sounding good boys. Loving the progress.

I think it could pass as part of the original.
Here’s my attempt to purplefy Leia’s saber on Exegol:

Yup that’s definitely more purple than pinkish. Huge improvement.
Looks good, Burbin!
In order to use more shots of Poe talking, I wonder if we could take the beginning of “Somehow, Palpatine-” and turn it into a longer statement that plays out over the reaction shot of Rey and/or Leia.
Here’s the whole thing:

I didn’t alter the shots where the blade is being hit by Palpatine’s lightning, the purple blade made it look kinda dull, and since the sabre is supposed to be overcharged by lightning I think the more intense pink/violet shade kinda works better, I did make it so that it switches right as it gets hit, and then it fades back to purple at the end. What do you guys think?
Here’s the fully purple version for comparison https://streamable.com/ydt4xn
Wonderful! I do wonder if the training flashback might be worth taking a look at as well? Or was it just the blueish hue of Exegol that messed with the purple saber?
It looks pretty much like that in the Leia flashback already, and it seems to have been the Exegol scene only.
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
Rather than post this semi-random thought elsewhere, since the Luke voice AI has been discussed here already, would it be fairly easy to get a few line readings to replace his line in ANH “this R2 unite has bad motivator” with “R5”? The radio drama has him call it an R5 unit, but the delivery is very different and can’t really be edited in very well.
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
It seems like such a small issue to me that I don’t know if it warrants creating a young Luke model for such a line. You’d have to skim through the originals and extract his dialog. Meh.
Don’t get me wrong, it would be cool to see! I’m just not interested in doing something like that myself.
Unless you would be okay with my current Mark voice profile? The problem is that his voice today is extremely different today than in the 70’s lol.
Oh, I wasn’t suggesting creating a whole new voice profile, just wondered if his current one could be directed not to be gravelly and work fine.
And hey, it’s just a quick thought as I was watching the latest Mando. 😉
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
If you had a young Luke profile, you could also make him say his lines sounding less whiny in ANH, unless you think that loses too much of his “charm.”
That’s actually a fair point, Hal, come to think of it. Because when I applied the effeminate adjective to 3PO it radically changed the output. I could give it a shot.
EDIT: Even with high-pitched and whiny adjectives it’s still got too much gruff to it I think - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ruTlA2ImODaAUA4N9P1Y0nN-vPB8zhF2/view?usp=drivesdk
Yeah, seems like a bridge too far. Thanks for trying it out.

What source did you train that model on?
An audio book that Mark Hamill recorded in the past year or so.
Here’s the best I can get the Poe lines to sound. It’d be nice to lipsync the line “His followers have been hiding something for years,” but with what’s available now this is what I can do. I don’t think it’s half bad and I doubt anyone would have batted an eye in the theater.

Also, I can’t really remove Finn’s line about Endor being “where the last war ended” because it makes the switch in focus of the scene happen very quickly, even for TROS standards.
ALSO, I am going to use yellow lightning for the primary version of Ascendant just like the ‘Rey Nobody’ version, as I very much like how it recontextualizes her yellow saber as an integration of what she feared. BUT, I will continue to honor the poll which showed people favoring using Vader’s TIE rather than the shuttle.
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
Sounds and looks great! Only thing I would MAYBE tweak is “… his contingency plan.” so the line finishes before it cuts back to Poe. Then again that could just be someone who has watched that scene way too many times so the cut is obvious lol
The Star Wars Saga:
I · II · III · IV · V · VI · VII · VIII · IX | Rogue One · Solo
What was first just a dream has become a frightening reality…
I’m not sure that’s a good idea because Force judgment (yellow lightning) is a light side ability. Also, I thought the primary purpose of the yellow lightning was to distinctualize her from Palpy? If she is related to him, I’d imagine they would execute the ability in the same way, as hinted at in her new vision earlier in the film.
As for the Poe lines, I think that works well. But as stated before, I think we should definitely include a shot of Poe before he speaks or as he is beginning to speak so we understand who is talking.

The only issue I hear with those lines is that it feels a bit like Poe is reading from a dramatic play instead of relaying foreboding tidings. But it certainly doesn’t sound bad.
You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.
Episode 9 Rewrite, The Starlight Project (Released!) and ANH Technicolor Project (Released!)
I don’t know how the adjectives work, whether there’s a list to choose from or you come up with your own. But if I could address the AI, I would try to get it to use a “raised” voice as though delivering a speech to a large room. Or maybe “speak up.” But if it could get the idea of what we’re going for, I think it could be perfect for this scene.
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
I believe I used “loud” on quite a few of the latest ones. I’m not sure if I did for the original lines I submitted.
