I just watched the film with my brother and his friend. They had the following feedback:
- Overall, a massive improvement over the original
Nice!
- Would be interested in some sort of line which indicates the Republic is endlessly debating sending in support, thus why they never intervene.
This is already planned for V2 in a deleted scene.
- The Sith whispers may be a bit too subtle. I had to point it out to them.
That actually makes me think that they’ve done their job, since sometimes the best effect is one that becomes invisible. Of course if it’s a volume issue, that’s another thing.
- My brother would like to see some audio lines indicating what Rey is hearing in Kylo’s head about fearing not being as strong as Darth Vader. This would be similar to what Kylo hears in Poe’s head.
Interesting idea, and with the AI voices it may be possible. I could just reuse lines from the prayer scene, but that seems a bit basic. More thought will be needed.
- Visually, Jakku may need to be more consistent. Although the morning and evening would adjust light levels, they think it makes it look like they’re on a completely different world at times.
Is it just the evening scene that has this problem?
- Humor has been trimmed very well, but my brother thinks you could have gone even further in a couple places. He didn’t elaborate lol.
I’m pretty happy with how much humor has been cut, actually. But of course everyone’s mileage will vary 😃
Thank you for the feedback here, and I’m glad y’all enjoyed it!
