Of course, there's just a "walkie-talkie" setting in Audacity.

And there's also a Vegas audio FX plugin that I've been using on this edit for voices over radios.  I think the kids call them "comms" but I still call them radios.

I was watching Six Days - Seven Nights the other night and I came across this line of dialogue by Ford:

"Well I'm the captain. That's my job. It's no good for me to go
waving my arms in the air and screaming "Oh shit, we're gonna die!" That doesn't invoke much confidence, does it?"

I would love to hear these lines when the MF is captured by the Death Star.

Also in that movie:

"I am the best god damned pilot you'll ever meet!"
"You talk too much. You're opinionated. You're stubborn, sarcastic,
and stuck up! Your ass is too narrow and your tits are too small."

I might have posted them before.

And another tidbit from Air Force One: "If this works, you get to be Postmaster General." Maybe to Luke before he blows up the Death Star or to Leia before she jumps head first down the chute.

This is another one of those things bobgarcia74 could probably do with ease, if he ever returns. Have one of the rebel pilots have an unfortunate helmet malfunction.

"I can't see!"

"Stay on target!'

"I can't see!"

"Stay on target!"

"I can't see ****!"

*Fighter explodes*

Where were you in '77?

Will the "Stay on target" guy be coming back as a force-ghost just to say his catchphrase ad infinitum?

I'll just leave this transcript here...

BEN - Hello there! Come here Obi-Wan's little friend. Don't be afraid.

BEN - Don't worry, Luke will be all right.

LUKE - What happened?

BEN - Rest easy, Luke, Luke's had a busy day. Luke's fortunate Luke's still in one piece.

LUKE - Ben? Ben Kenobi! Boy, am I glad to see you!

BEN - The Jundland wastes are not to be traveled lightly. Tell Obi-Wan young Luke, what brings Luke out this far?

LUKE - Oh, this little droid! I think he's searching for his former master... etc ...Do you know who he's talking about?

BEN - Obi-Wan Kenobi... Obi-Wan? Now that's a name Obi-Wan hasn't heard in a long time... a long time.

LUKE - I think my uncle knew him. He said he was dead.

BEN - Oh, Obi-Wan's not dead, not... not yet.

LUKE - You know him!?

BEN -  Well of course Obi-Wan knows Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan's Obi-Wan! Obi-Wan hasn't gone by the name of Obi-Wan since oh, before Luke was born.

LUKE -  Then the droid does belong to you.

BEN - Obi-Wan doesn't seem to remember ever owning R2-D2. Very interesting...

BEN - Obi-Wan thinks Obi-Wan and Luke better get indoors. The Sandpeople are easily startled but The Sandpeople will soon be back and in greater numbers.

...in the hope that Mr Frink will make this insane scene soon, for a specail teaser, or for christmas, or something. I don't really care what reason, I just need to hear this scene. I can't wait for the LOL

As old Obi-Wan adjusts the tractor beam controls. Young Obi-Wan from TRM falls down the chasm he is balancing over.

Or Darth Maul.

EDIT: Even better, make this a running gag and have him fall past Luke and Vader at Bespin, maybe during the big revelation.

If Obi-Wan gets left behind on the Death Star, Ric could take his place during the trench run, helpfully telling Luke where to look.

Would it be funny if Artoo screws things up all over the Death Star as he tries to shut down the garbage compactor?

There was a level in Jedi Outcast where you could turn off the force field in a Star Destroyer landing bay, and hapless Imperials would be sucked out to their doom.

Where were you in '77?

The only idea I have is replacing Captain Antilles with Ric Olie.

Unless that's already been suggested.

Just repeat to yourself “It’s just a film, I should really just relax”

I don't think it's been suggested.  Not sure it's really feasible, and although I could redub, I'd rather (probably) continue to use Force Ghost Ric instead.

Since the OT is older than the PT, perhaps this could be reflected in the visuals? For instance, the crawl (disregarding the way things actually used to work, since I'm ignorant of that):

We accidentally start from the second reel of the movie, which stops when the projectionist realizes his mistake. The screen goes blank and there's some muffled cursing and bumping around. Then the crawl ends up upside down at first. When things are finally sorted out, it begins. The crawl slowly and very jerkily, um, crawls up the screen with a loud cranking sound to go with it (presumably from when the crawl was done originally, not because of the projectionist). The crawl progresses slower than the audio, so the theme plays and ends, either leaving the cranking as the only sound, or continuing with the audio from the first scene.

You could also have some very obvious and badly done reel changes throughout the movie, or having reels from completely different movies begin to play. A blank screen and the crashing/cursing sounds of the bumbling projectionist could then follow.
