For TRoS Edits: Dialogue for the Knights of Ren! Come help! (Released)

Excellent work! I think a blind poll like you laid out makes it totally fair for your voice to come out on top. As you say, as long as there are options so each knight can have a unique voice.

I did want to ask, because I honestly cannot tell, was my voice in the sampler? Just find it funny that I can’t even tell if my own voice is there after the effects. Lol (And if so, I’m frankly glad it didn’t make it to the finalists!)

Cool, man, thanks for the detailed breakdown. I could see something like that working as a replacement for that one line.

In thinking about Mustafar… It’s true that the original idea didn’t really pan out, of making it visually clearer that it was that planet using lava. As it stands we just extended it with more of the same environment. I keep getting, including from people IRL, a 50/50 split on finding the added video game footage believable vs weird. The only relatively noncontroversial shot is poppasketti’s TIEs, but I don’t think it really improves the scene to only add that shot alone. In light of all this, I think it would be better to leave it with the theatrical. 😕

That’s not a bad idea. If there were enough footage to be able to let it play out before they comment on it I think it’d work. As it is, it makes me wonder why they aren’t listening to it intently until it’s finished.

Yeah, those lines are gone, Muffy. It sounds good as it is, and I don’t think it’s needed to add reverb. Yoda sure didn’t have any in TLJ and the center channel is not totally free of music and ambience anyway.

I originally thought a deleted scene of the broadcast could be interspersed with the reveal of the fleet, but I don’t think the right resources are there to make it work. And it’s pretty much ONLY the added lines from idir that make it worthwhile anyway.

Yeah, Poe is just there to be like “okay guys, here’s the deal, they brought back Palpatine for this one.”
