Sorry, yeah, I didn’t have time to respond when I saw it and then I forgot!

I had blocked up that scene at some point before and I don’t remember exactly how it went. But I feel like it was better that way and didn’t leave any lose ends. (The ending scene)

The hangar scene doesn’t feel right to me, as theres a dramatic reveal that Palpatine tried to kill her because of… something he didn’t know.

Sorry, I know that’s kind of negative and vague for right now.

Cinefy, that music feels appropriate for the moment and works well. However, I think it’s a misstep to use Kylo’s theme to speak about the Final Order, especially after his turning point toward the light.

And I can certainly see about increasing the volume a little on the DOTF moment.

Oh, Kijimi… ugh. Personally I like things this way. We get it: a shit-ton of star destroyers. I really like not having to go along with another Death Star destroying a planet. The Sith people have modified old destroyers stashed there from the days of the Empire, at least that’d be the only sane thing to infer from this version of the movie.

I’m a little disappointed in how subttle Duel of The Fates was in the death star fight in workprint 4, is the final duel in star wars and the soundtrack is almost none existing and the little there is, is very subtles and forgettable 😕

I get the intent of focusing in the sounds of the duel and enviroment and being a silent duel, but i think it feels very lacking.

Why not try something like this ?

the reason that i don’t think that i could edit the audio myself once v1 realeases is that i’m afraid to lose the crackling sound of Rey lightsaber from the audio of ascendant

We’ve been over this a number of times. I won’t use tracked music for this purpose from the saga films, and I think the Solo option allows for it to happen at all. I always release lossless audio exports of my projects and I could include that scene without the added Solo music for you if you’d like. May just have to remind me, but that should be possible even after I pack everything away at some point.

R2’s physics in ROTS is cartoony to me mostly because it is just so contrary to how we see R2 look and behave in all the rest of SW.

I’d still like to see a version of the scene, with Obi-Wan tossing the comlink at R2 only for it to realistically hit his dome sharply and clatter to the ground. As if someone threw a handheld phone at a metal refrigerator.

I don’t notice anything that sounds out of the ordinary with the mask sequence. To be sure, what you hear isn’t in the original, right?

I don’t know about a Rey Nobody cut’s version of that scene. I basically plan to just copy Dom for the relevant scenes.

That Poe shot is nice, but it seems like we’d basically have to swap it for another anyway.

And the PT and OT each have a movie with no capital letters in their crawl. Same goes for my edits of them.

Hmm, what audio issue do you notice on the transition into Dom’s Kylo vision sequence? Nothing sticks out to me.

And yeah, I guess Finn’s new first line does sort of reflect that 3PO line. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, but I hadn’t thought of that.

And I definitely do plan to use at least a little KoR dialogue once that material is ready.

And with Dom’s TIE clip in my greedy mitts, I should in theory be able to sync-lock the edit anytime. Seems premature to do so now, since I’ll be waiting for a little while for at least stuff from jonh.

And this song keeps playing in my head when I type or see “cracklin’”.
