Carrie?

It's astonishing to me how people hear things differently.

Honestly to my ears it sounds like a feminine voice (at least making a stab at) speaking in an American accent.

Why would Lawson deliberately do that for one line?

We know that for ROTJ they dubbed an actress with a male voice, it's possible that Lawson wasn't available to re-do that one line.

Seeing as it's a minority thing it's probably time to drop the topic here but I thought I'd bring it up as it may have been of interest.

 While I never thought it was Leia, I did always notice how that line doesn't sound right. It is softly spoken and a bit effeminate, and I never liked it. No idea why it's like that, though. *shrugs*

By the way, an actress in Jedi dubbed by a man? I'm very tired as I write this, so am I forgetting something really obvious?

That was during the final space battle, right?  One of the Rebel pilots?

What's so bad about it? I'm sure Ady wouldn't use it if her voice was that bad. Then again, Ady did stick Duel of the Fates into Star Wars when it doesn't match hehe ;-)  Just jesting. I'll try to find that Jedi clip and have a listen.

Wasn't that music a version of 'Battle of the Heroes' in fact?  I still reckon it's one of my favourite 'Revisited' additions, and I'm delighted that adywan hopes to include it as an option in his HD re-do eventually for those of us that prefer it included.  And it fitted in, in the sense that it tied the overall saga's music together, as it 'mirrors' the Obi-wan/Anakin duel as heard in ROTS. 

Whichever track it was, I get why he wanted to tie it together, but musically it doesn't fit with the rest of the score in A New Hope. It's stylistically completely different, which is why I and some others don't like it. The intention is sound, but I think it's the prequels that need adapting to match the OT, not the reverse, and if you really have to do it, it has to match.

I don't know. I'd hate to redub and reclassify the only female pilot shown during a space battle being blown up two whole seconds later. Is there anyway we can save her??

We could probably discuss this in the eventual ROTJ:R thread, no?

I guess it depends on what your own notion of 'matching' entails.  Being so familiar with the original score/music-less 'duel' scene, it was kinda like the 'shock of the new' to me at first...but it quickly became one of my absolute favourite 'Revisited'-style moments of adywan's particular 'special edition' variation.

And since adywan *does* intend to adapt his 'Revisited' prequel versions to match the OT a bit more in certain ways, we may end up hearing a snippet of the original trilogy scores in one of *those* eventually too, who knows?...

Anyhoo, as far as ESB:R is concerned, I hope to finally finish my humongous 'Dagobah' post tomorrow to make up for my off-topicness.  :)  I fully expect some controversy, lol.

But wait! isnt a bit late for suggestions? Or will it be for future projects?

ESB:R is still a work in progress, and won't be ready until possibly May 2012, as far as I know.  I don't recall adywan saying there's a cut-off point for any suggestions for this yet, so still plenty of time for him to consider anything that hasn't been thrown up yet. 

That is AMAZING.  Ever since I was 10 years old...yes with the "Story of" album, I always though that line sounded like a female.  I never considered it to be Leia, but always thought it sounded like a chick.  BTW, I still do.:)

It's like I still don't know any of you!
