The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant (Released) — Page 646

I’ll bake it in next time I’m in the chair and see if I feel strongly about it after doing so!

I’m sorry, but I genuinely prefer the old version of “and I will be your protocol droid.” Its animated tone fits much better with his movement in the shot and carries a sense of 3PO being happy to be of use. Gotta go with my gut.

anyone got a link to the Rey nobody version of this edit? would be greatly appreciated.

I hereby declare V3 to be ‘sync-locked.’ While I won’t rule out minor tweaks that do not impact audio/video sync, the timeline overall is locked into place. This allows me to chip away at all the things that remain to be done and get this to release.

And once that’s done, pretty sure that’ll be it for me and the Sequel Trilogy. Pretty happy with how it all shaped up, all things considered.

Awesome. Has the changelist been finalised?

Added ‘Sith Eyes’ to ‘Evil Rey,’ including replacing her milky eyes for one shot (FX by Burbin)

Reinstated previously cut dialogue as the heroes reunite at the Resistance base, replacing the term ‘lightspeed skipping’ with ‘lightspeed ramming’ (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks)

New dialogue for Poe during the briefing scene establishes clearly that the Final Order fleet consists of modified ships from the Empire, rather than implying they were built from the ground up later on (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks)

Added two short, unobtrusive new lines for Leia to Rey (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks)

Added new dialogue for Kylo Ren during his ‘ForceTime’ duel with Rey to provide a more focused retcon of TLJ and make it explicit that Rey’s parents paid Unklar Plutt rather than selling her (AI provided by Jar Jar Bricks)

Replaced Kylo Ren’s line “I never lied to you” with “You were right” for more intuitive and precise continuity with TLJ even as the scene retcons it. In that film, it is Rey herself who supplies the information that her parents “were nobody.” (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks; voiceover provided for prior versions by poppasketti)

Altered Kylo Ren’s line to, “We’ve become a dyad in the Force,” which feels like it builds on TLJ’s ending (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks; audio used in prior versions from sherlockpotter)

Replaced the obtuse reminder while working on the Falcon that 3PO had his memory erased in the form of a line wishing they had an R2 unit to help (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks; audio provided for prior versions by Chase Adams)

As 3PO has his memory restored, he no longer implies this was Rey’s very first mission, as it either has or will surely be retconned by ancillary material (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks)

The FX for Leia’s now purple lightsaber has been color corrected to look less pink during sequences on Exegol than in prior versions (color correction by Burbin, FX by Skenera)

Not sure. I’m just worried about the main version for now, and I don’t know what other Rey Nobody ideas that team may present. But just as before, once they hand me whatever they have I will bake it in and release that as well.

I recall that too. Did anything ever come of it? It’s not something that cries out to me but if I’ve forgotten something I’d be glad to be reminded.

I can’t believe you guys forgot a few lines! 😦

Thanks, man!

I don’t think the AI voice is strong enough to carry three dramatic lines in a row like that, lines that aren’t strictly necessary.

But I’ll see how that Poe line sounds, to replace “heads up.” Won’t affect sync anyway.

Perhaps that makes more sense for the Rey Nobody version.

Perhaps. 🙂

No.

I’d welcome any second attempts you’d care to make. The two used at present are “he’s too dangerous,” and “a Jedi needs her weapon.”

Again, I must stress how far this project has come with the tools at our disposal!
