Hey guys. I'm not dead - not yet. I've been gearing up to releasing this thing but I keep finding more and more stuff to add. Some of it is pure gold.

To address Bingowings' post, I've grappled with the idea of putting non-Star Wars dialogue in my archive, and I've come to the conclusion that there's just too much of it in the world to gather and sort through. The resources you could draw from either for generic voices or "alien" voices are literally endless, and if I started including them I'd feel like the archive would be permanently on half.

Obviously, this doesn't apply to alternative dialogue for a particular actor. I've got lots of clean Christopher Lee dialogue for instance that isn't from anything Star Wars related. It could be VERY handy and there are some real gems in there.

I'm not even sure if I should include the numerous voices from the Star Wars games. Yes, the voices often discuss lots of in-universe stuff, but if you're re-dubbing a background character whose lips aren't even in frame, do you really need to redub them at all? The only voices I can see being useful in this regard are those of masked villains (to redub Grievous and the like).

Having said this, some of them may be useful for comlink chatter I suppose.

There are also some impersonators of our principal characters from the games. Again, I'm not sure if there's any benefit to including these as they aren't useful for redubs as it's not the correct dialogue, nor are they useful for cutaways as they aren't very good impersonations.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
