To get around the shield gate, I removed dialog referring to them needing to blow a hole in the gate for the transfer. Now it’s just implied that they can just do the transfer but they still need to get a line out to make sure they know the transfer is coming.
Meanwhile the rebel fleet is still trying to open the gate because it’s their people that are trapped down there.
Then Vader shows up and you know the rest.
I had to do several audio separations and rescore music and add back in sound fx to accomplish this but I had people preview this before release and I have already been told that this is their go to. But they are already fans of my edits LOL so I don’t know how far to go with that compliment.
