Toward the beginning of this project, I’d explored the possibility of replacing one word, and perhaps it can be done using AI.
That word is, “I’m [fixing] a droid, you wanna see? Come on, I’ll show you 3PO.”
EDIT: Also, there’s a line in Ep3 that would be good to replace as well. 3PO says, “I think I’m beginning to get the hang of this flying business,” in reference to lines from TPM and AOTC about him never having flown and fearing starships. Not sure what could go there instead; the scene doesn’t have any other dialogue.
Another EDIT:
I’m sure the tools are out there at this point for this to be possible with AI or whatever. I’d love to be able to simply snip out Qui-Gon’s final two words of “train him,” so that Obi-Wan’s actions show earnest initiative and fit what ROTJ gives us about taking it upon himself to train him because he feels he would do well with it.
That sounds good. What is the surrounding context for 3PO’s ‘flying’ line?
In my edit of Ep1, we replace “I can assure you they’ll never get me onto one of those dreadful starships.”
In Ep2, we replace “It’s just I’ve never flown before.”
In Ep3, I’d like to also replace “I think I’m beginning to get the hang of this flying business.”
It happens as Padme is sitting down in her ship to depart for Mustafar.
