Talking storm troopers are more dangerous
As promised I did a mock-up of some storm trooper dialogue put in to stop the storm troopers in Empire Strikes Back from being mute.
Ideally some new lines of dialogue would be better but to show you what I mean and to keep some continuity I thought it was a good idea so I did it. I am not suggesting anything should be done of this nature for revisited but I would really like to see them talk again, and if they did in revisited well it would be great this video is a window to what could be perhaps.
weather or not you like it or hate it as a mock up, is not the point it's that at least for me they don't say a word and and I like some of it myself and am unsure also on some of what I did but it's more a demonstration than 100% solid suggestion.
Enjoy and discuss if you like, the link is below

Just checked it out and I loved it. Now what makes this so great is that it would be easy to add an alternate audio track with or without the stormtrooper comments. I can go either way, as the silent troopers was the way EMPIRE always was.. but this added a bit of life to it too (I even loved the "do you know what's going on?" moment, as you know that's what one of them would say).
I say when EMPIRE:R comes out, Ronster, go ahead and create a modified audio track with the stormtrooper audio. One can then use MKVmerge to add it to their existing E:R and have the choice.
I think the only ST comment I would take out would be the ones prepping Han for torture (they would probably keep quiet for no other reason than to just not do anything that could get Vader's attention), as well as the "right" response at 2:25 after the first trooper says "Follow me!" (even that line I could see taken out, as the trooper already said "load your weapons", thus they're all alerted and already know what they need to do).
Also consider using audio modulation to maybe make some of the ST voices a bit lower, just to vary the audio responses.
