Oh, it totally is. It’s why my edit is taking a long time. I’ve already got my main edits done, it’s just the godforsaken audio. As for replacing sound effects in some places, I don’t mind. Most of the lasers and stuff sound freaking cool, like when the Millennium Falcon flies into the ship on Jakku; those laser sounds from the Falcon sound really explosive and cool. But on the other hand, the explosion and laser sounds for the X-wing fight on Maz’s castle, sound really lame. Really nothing impressive or special.
Completely agree with your take on how the lasers sound. But the sounds of lightsabers clashing in TFA is different obviously and I’m one of the fans of it. Do you plan on trying to restore what the sabers sounded like in TFA or what they sounded like in previous films?
