If you were to dub over JEJ in War of the Stars with his "soundalike" from the radio drama, I think that the effect would seem a lot more believable.

I'm not sure the effect is supposed to be believeable. It's supposed to be poorly done.

At least, I think that was the intent...it works better if you think of it that way, at any rate.

I mean believable as in, I could believe they would release a movie that sounded like that. In the current version a lot of Vader's dialogue is incoherent and comes across as non-sequesters, and even in a badly made schlock movie I don't think that would be expected. Picking some dialogue from the radio drama, especially ones that sound cheesy when combined with an actual visual would make WOTS feel a lot more convincing as a real bad movie. Like when Vader force chokes that guy, we can hear him narrate what with visuals is obvious, like "Are you finding it hard to breathe? Does it feel like your throat is closing up?" It would be a lot funnier and would make Vader come across as overly theatrical, rather than schizophrenic.

The Leia interrogation scene is very nasty in the radio drama too but how that could be integrated into the filmed footage I'm not sure. not unless Vader was slowed down to almost Lynchian time scales.

I think he could do the scene by just having close ups on the faces of Vader's accompanying guards while we hear Leia reeling in pain, and maybe a long shot of the closed door from outside while we hear the torture going on within. Although, Leia's voice might have to be modulated slightly to sound more like Leia's tone (in the radio drama the actress was a bit more high pitched than Carrie Fisher). We don't even need the whole scene, just enough to show that this version goes way farther than the original.

Oh, and here's another wild idea: what about the possibility of giving R2D2 an actual voice? That has some major potential for hilarity.
