Just took a look at this last night. Really impressive effort overall. In particular, I think the work done to delay the Palpatine reveal into later in the movie was really effective. My only criticism, and I don’t know if this is colored by my familiarity with the original movie, is that sometimes the sheer amount of ADR and repurposed shots can give the impression that entire scenes were cobbled together in the edit. I particularly felt that way with some of the Hux stuff. However, short of filming new scenes, I don’t think anything can really be done about it.

I saw in the special features you had a segment about sentence mixing techniques, which was impressive since I assumed many of those scenes were AI. About how much of the new dialogue replacement would you say was sentence mixing vs. AI vs. new voice acting?

It will be really difficult for me to pick a favorite radical reworking of TROS between this and Spence’s Final Order, but I’m happy to have another great edit to add to my collection.
