I’ve been wanting to experiment with some techniques for voice cloning, so I played around with some new versions of the lines under discussion. I haven’t watched V3 so I can’t recall how they compare to the current ones, but I tried to get it to match as close as possible to the surrounding dialogue.

This link includes Leia’s lines and some alternatives, Poe’s monologue, and some experimenting with alternatives for light speed ramming. Since “ramming” doesn’t totally line up with Rey’s mouth movements, I played around with words that rhymed more with slipped. I tried out clipped and slipped. I was thinking, instead of describing what Poe did as just smashing into the ice wall, maybe he clipped through the wall, sort of like how you can clip through video game walls with glitches. So basically, a ship can use hyperspace to clip through objects in real space. I think slipping gives off a similar idea, like slipping through objects in real space. But if your timing isn’t perfect it can damage both your ship and whatever object your passing through. I didn’t replace the full “You can’t light speed skip the Falcon”, just the word, so that is why I have a few different versions. So my tests of that line definitely are not final.

Also, I don’t know if Poe says, “He’s been hiding something for years” in this version, but I honestly think it would be fine to stay as “building something”. The stockpile line makes it clear these are old ships, but his followers are still “building” onto them with the new cannons.
