The Kylo line here is definitely far more in line with his tone and audio from the movie. That final delivery in fact almost sounds like it was directly pulled from one of the movies.

Wish I could take credit for it but the last delivery is from the movie! I just isolated the audio and threw it in at the end for comparison.

The two lines about family are beautiful and also very well done, especially Rey’s where I legit can’t tell it’s an AI. Also the “You are family.” line and the idea of it going where the “A Jedi needs her weapon.” line sits is perfect. I liked what the original was trying to go for but I love how this plays with the elements of the scene and movie more. It’s a perfect response to Rey treating herself as an outsider, it makes Leia’s later line of not being afraid of who she is feel just the slightest bit more impactful and in a way, it adds a new layer to her declaring she’s a Skywalker.

You said my exact feelings! I also was surprised by how good the Rey line sounds.

Lightspeed clipping is an interesting bit of phrasing and I like the idea of it being like clipping in a video game. That being said, I do think the ramming line also worked with the lip=sync issues being fairly minor and plus, I kind of like that it in some way highlights that there’s a reason why you can’t do this stuff all the time without just dumping on TLJ’s Holdo maneuver. However honestly both lines still work well.

I added two more versions to the link. The first is “light speed slipped”. I think this one sounds ambiguous enough that it could refer to the same thing the Holdo maneuver is, or it could be some different technique. It is the most seamless change from “skipped”, plus, light speed slipping sounds like an actual term that would have its own Wookiepedia article and everything.

The second one is “light speed whipped”. Kind of conjures that hot rod vibe that could imply using hyperspace to pull crazy maneuvers. The mouth synch isn’t 100%, but personally I think it is funny to hear Rey yell, “You can’t lightspeed whip the Falcon!” I feel like it fits the humor of the entire scene the best, but “slip” might for totally unnoticed to most people, which I think is the goal.
