Yes, that’s right. Poe and Palpatine are the two outstanding things. Palpatine is not strictly necessary, but if we wanted to potentially add some thing to the hologram scene, it might be doable.

I’ll play with those Poe lines next chance I get. RL, got the raw Jannah lines?

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

I think we’ll get solid results if we use only Palp’s lines from that hologram scene as input. Granted, I’m not sure there’s enough there to reach 30 seconds.

Hell, maybe use his hologram scenes from episode three as well.

I’ll get those to you Hal when I get a chance!

And true. It’s the only hologram scene so you can excuse it sounding different than everything else, especially if you just replace all of the scene’s dialogue.

Here is a potential version:


Emperor Palpatine:
The Princess of Alderaan has disrupted my plan, but her foolish act will be in vain. Come to me on Exegol, General Pryde.

General Pryde:
As I served you in the old wars, I serve you now.

Emperor Palpatine:
The Final Order begins. She will come; her friends will follow.
The grandson of Vader was weak. The girl must take my throne now. Let her approach.

General Pryde:
Yes, my Lord.

Impressive! The first line sounds good but the second doesn’t quite yet.

Also, I added to my list the possibility of replacing “lightspeed skip/ram” with something else. If slip/skip/nip/snip ends up sounding good in two matching generated lines I’m all for it.

If we want to show that Palps really hates Rey for whatever reason this is a better take of that second line:

EDIT: Replaced it with a better take with the same concept.

I mean he did want her dead since she was born so there has to be some hatred there LOL

I think we could actually cut “Let her approach” because right after that he’d say “She will come. Her friends will follow.”

The reason I put that is because he is actually giving Pryde an order for him to respond with “Yes, my lord”. Otherwise, Palps is just going off about his plan and Pryde just chilling there like, “Yup, okay”.

EDIT: That is a small issue I had with this edit since lines about him destroying a world were removed.

EDIT2: Plus, it makes sense to have it with the Final Order offices commenting on her: “She’s on approach. All ships rise to deployment altitude.” They ‘know’ she is going to take the throne, so they are preparing to leave when she arrives.

Also… off topic, but can we add a new final line of Ben sadly saying “Rey” when she is dead? That is a much better final line for him than it being “Ow”.

That would spoil his appearance at the end of the movie. It would need to be something before he dies but after the chain collision.

Not sure what you mean here. I am talking about the scene on Exegol when he is holding DeadRey™

Oh, sorry, I got it mixed up. I thought you said “when he is dead”.

I really like the line “The Final Order begins”. Since on this version we removed the 6 hour ticking clock this line serves to set the stage for the final battle, where the Sith Fleet is only now begining to mobilize, while they’ve been stationary through the whole movie. It also gives into the idea that Palps is moving his plan forward since Leia “disrupted” his scheme to take over Kylo. I don’t think it should be removed.

And I love these new Finn/Jannah lines from RL, I can’t believe I’m seeing a Finn in this movie that actually feels like he went through TLJ’s character arc.

Good point about the Final Order line. If needed I bet the wide shot of the hologram could be looped.

Or just: “The final order begins. Vader’s grandson has proved unworthy of the throne, but the girl must now be tested. Let her approach.”

Neither can I. Still no Duel of the Fates, but we’ll take what we can get. 😃

Better yet, make that line be the last:
“Vader’s grandson has proved unworthy of my throne, but now the girl must be tested. Let her approach. The Final Order begins.”

The more I think of it… Palpatine needs to specify that Rey will take his throne which is why he starts kicking off the plan since Kylo is no longer an option. He wouldn’t be testing her.

How about this wording instead?

“Vader’s grandson has proved unworthy, but now my true heir will take the throne. Let her approach. The Final Order begins.”
