Grand Admiral Thrawn

Didn’t expect to see my name in the special thanks! What an honor Nev 😃

Downloading now. Great work on this!

I pulled that sound effect from TROS because in my world TROS doesn’t exist 😉

I’d like to think that too, but Hal did way too good of a job putting together Ascendant to cast it aside 😄

One other suggestion as I’m currently watching the workprint, just cause it’s already in The Rise of Skywalker… remove Rey’s added “CHEWIE!” line when he detonates the explosives. Daisy really should have gotten another line reading/shouting for that one.

Plus, it makes it a little awkward having two Chewbacca death fake-outs in the Sequel Trilogy with Rey yelling the exact same thing 😄

I’m watching the workprint and noticed an odd audio issue from (1:11:48-1:11:53) when the Resistance arrives on Takodana. The music jumps and you can tell there has been a cut. Any chance it could be made a little more seamless if possible?

Amazing!

Yeah. That’s the sort of reputation I want to have among women, as the guy who can give them a really great time in bed.

Agreed, that’s how I got two at the same time… but that’s a story for a different thread 😁

If there’s one thing I did learn about my one time it’s that it made me realize I’m far more interested in giving pleasure than in receiving, which is why it’s very unlikely I’ll ever hire another prostitute, as you pay them to receive pleasure.

Just to be clear BTW, I want a purely physical relationship. I’m also fully aware reciprocity is key, as I want a woman who’s into me as much as I’m into her. Think Last Tango in Paris minus the whole getting killed in the end.

Giving is much better than receiving 😉

From what I’ve learned… the biggest thing when it comes to sexual fulfillment is forming meaningful connections first. The most meaningful connections take time, and they are not the easiest to find though.

I struggled with depression heavily in my high school years (still do today but for different reasons) as all my friends had girlfriends and we’re getting laid regularly. I was afraid to do anything or say anything over fear of rejection. Once in college, I turned the anger and jealously into action, and decided to open up my feelings and just be honest from the start of what I was looking for with girls who I was friends with or was getting close to. The fear of rejection needs to go.

It’s not the easiest thing in any way, but seeking out girls who have similar interests and presenting yourself for who you are goes a long way. Eventually, when you open up, you’ll find a girl accepting of what you want and willing to give it, and letting a relationship grow. It will definitely take a few tries, and you’ll need to push yourself.

Be honest, be clean (good hygiene goes a longggggg way), and be yourself.

Coming from someone who thought they were destined to be alone forever, I found the best girl in the world for me that accepts me, pushes me to be better, and loves me for me.

Hang in there, be yourself and don’t be afraid. You got this.

For the final paragraph, is it better to describe the band of rebels as ‘daring’ or should I refer to the Republic as ‘new’? That’s the question. Perhaps 'tis better to remove ‘daring’ because it’s just one more bit of wordiness while ‘New Republic’ doesn’t read as any more wordy.

Very well, how about this:

In an act of RESISTANCE,
a band of rebels armed
by the New Republic has
sent their greatest pilot
to Jakku, desperate to
find the last Jedi and
restore peace and justice
to the darkening stars…

I like it, the post-ROTJ government is always referred to as the “New Republic” in all of the new canon material. I wouldn’t like to see that be lost.

Might I suggest:

a band of rebels armed

sent their best pilot to
Jakku, desperate to find
the last Jedi and restore
peace and justice to

Maybe this can help clear up the bad vibes?

Luke Skywalker:
“It was the last night of her training. Leia sensed darkness on her Jedi path, knowing she could better serve the galaxy in other ways, she surrendered her saber to me and said that one day, it would be picked up again by a Jedi who would finish her journey.”

Hal 9000 said:

I like what it implies, as it matches pre-TROS understanding of Leia’s life story, but it may not match the expression on her face during the flashback. Like they’re sparring and her training is almost done and she’s suddenly like “omg I just sensed that I could probably do more in politics.”

To be fair, TROS:A as it stands doesn’t fare any better.

Ahhhh, Disney Star Wars and their lack of planning lol

EDIT: I also like your line because it suggests the Force is what led her to make her choice. So I can also generate that. It’s up to Hal what we pick.

I love this take. Hopefully this one is considered 😊

Holy moly I have a lot of links to listen to haha.

The only issue I have with the “sensed the birth of her son” is it kinda implies that moms can’t be a Jedi. Like, “Oop, I’m pregnant. I guess I’ll give up the force.”

Sure I’ll have some feedback after I listen to all the links!!

The only major thing to come out of the 2020 BDs is no longer having a whole film reel scanned out of focus in ROTJ.

Jar Jar Bricks said:

YAY! It sounds perfect. What did we want him to say again? About Leia choosing a different path?

This is what I posted before:

Luke Skywalker:
“It was the last night of her training. Leia sensed that she could do more good following another path. She surrendered her saber to me and said that one day, it would be picked up again by a Jedi who would finish her journey. A thousand generations live in you now. We’ll always be with you, but this is your fight.”

Thsnks Hal, I’ll check those out

That guy with no name said:

Is this even worth the trouble:

Original

New

Would it be worth the trouble to try and make them be at Palp’s secret hideout from AOTC that he meets Dooku at?

Betterhelp is not better at all haha. Several close friends have told me horror stories about it. If anyone does know some smaller scale online providers, please share!

I’m fairly certain I should be able to get Mark’s voice on the 21st. Using about an hour of book readings (not just characters speaking) gives a fantastic result in all of my other cases.

I can create an account with a free trial and can try pumping out some more Leia or Luke lines if needed. PM me with any needed details.

Leia: The messaged confirmed the worst. The First Order was just a diversion. Emperor Palpatine has returned from the dead.

Cut to Leia looking worried.

Poe: “His followers have been building…”

Wow, looks great!

Maybe we could clean this up a little with Mark Hamill’s voice.

Luke Skywalker:
“It was the last night of her training. Leia sensed that she could do more good following another path. She surrendered her saber to me and said that one day, it would be picked up again by a Jedi who would finish her journey. A thousand generations live in you now. We’ll always be with you, but this is your fight.”

Beautiful… the mind of an AI.

It sounds great to me. I think he would be fine. The volume would need to be a little lower for her line in the mix to better integrate it though.
