While I am reviewing the project… did you say that the Zorri lines could not be gotten how you would want them? Does that mean you don’t think the changes to Poe’s backstory would work?

And do you think we could still try a line for Kylo Ren to suggest that the dagger “revealed” her parents’ fate to Rey? (The line should not be this verbose, but the idea is the dagger is not her parents’ murder weapon but a dark side relic that shows people things because… reasons.)

EDIT: Actually, the line about Skywalker sounds really good! I see what you mean about the voice modulation, but at least for an isolated line that takes place not in close-up, I don’t think it’s a problem. So that line works, in any event!

Would it work to add some hint about one of her attachments prompting her sudden resignation from her training? Or that she was taken by her emotions or something to account for the look on her face?

“She was quick to learn in our training. Leia sensed something she feared: the death/loss of her son. She turned aside from her Jedi path to serve the galaxy through diplomacy. In her life, Leia lost everything, and everyone, but she still chose to love. A thousand generations live in you now. But this is your fight. You’ll take both sabers to Exegol.”

This avoids some AI to have to mix in seamlessly in the same location (Luke in room, not in flashback), and maybe lets us get what we want without pressing our luck.

Also, I pulled up and played with the alternate Kylo Ren lines, and I don’t think any of them are improvements, at least as I am able to do anything with them. The “Captain Hux” line I can’t seem to get the reverb to sound good, whereas RogueLeader had supplied me with processed audio to work with. The dyad line delivery is not as good as the line in the film, and I feel that out of what is available the patch job sound better overall. Also, I think your prior “You were right” still sounds perfectly good without leaving anything wanting. I hope that doesn’t come across poorly; I appreciate working on these, and it is good to have alts.

Status report after nearly a month. The quarters scene will be extremely difficult to get a clean track without voices since most of Kylo’s dialogue can be heard in all five normal channels. It might be more cost-effective for you to give me the lines and sequencing that you want, and let me try to bake it together. That would let me be a little more conniving.

The first line, “What’s troubling you” is okay, but it seems like a net neutral with the scene, risking use of AI voice without gaining much.

Second line I still feel needs to be specified impeccably in order to work. I mean the wording when I say that, but that particular AI line delivery sounds fake.

Is the idea here that Leia forsook her own Jedi training out of fear that her own darkness could prevail? And so when she sensed or learned of Rey’s lineage, it’s meaningful for her to push for a different choice than she made?
