I hate having to point this out, but the change list says Luke’s line of “Blast it, Biggs” has been altered to “Blast it, Wedge.” I just checked, and the recent version has “Biggs” in it.

The name’s Lawson. Noah Lawson.

I’ll take a look at that and for the eventual update either change the line or the changelog.

I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

ROTJ has finally been updated to include the AI-augmented Vader line, “Your mother once thought as you do” in the main audio channel. No other changes.

The Yub Nub version has everything, but for the planet celebration ending it looks like it only uploaded the tiny encode version.

Trying again now.

Trying again now.

Thanks Hal, works now.

I watched the change you made with headphones on. I love the idea of this dialogue change, but personally it sounds a little jarring to me. The music cuts weird and the voice sounds closer to JEJ than Vader.

I think it’s because you’re listening for it. The “mother” word does sound like it could use a bit more of the Vader-voice filter, but it seems good for what it is.

This is a limitation of ElevenLabs voice cloning, likely because they are trying to emulate human speech perfectly, not characterized speech.

The dialogue I made for Zorri in Ascendant is also identical to the actor’s voice but is missing the voice filter. I have the same issue with my Threepio voice clone not having the robotic sound effect. Fortunately, I was able to figure out how to replicate Threepio’s effect quite easily on Audacity. For Vader and Zorri I’m not even sure where to begin.

Once again, if anybody out there knows how to do those character’s voice sound effects that would be awesome!

I very much leave the door open for these OT projects to improvements from new source material and such. If there comes a good way to apply the voice modulation I’d be thrilled to include it.

Who knows? If rumors hold about the 50th anniversary OOT restoration, I’d be elated to start these three projects over from the beginning!

I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
