Hal 9000

That’s the best I’ve heard yet!

Fix it if you like to, there’s nothing wrong with that at all.

Darth Jar Jar has always been a joke. One of those tongue-in-cheek theories that is amusing how it can almost sound plausible. But it’d be a terrible idea to put out in a movie for real.

It’d be like Return to Oz having all the munchkins hang themselves at the end of a song.

You convinced me, jonh’s ghost clip is in! 😉

I modeled the audio transition out of the icewall moment after what DarthYcey sent me, and I think it’s an improvement. I’m happy enough with it to leave it alone until I make another pass later on.

The comm chatter really ought to just be in the center channel. It’s not all around the viewer really, just coming through the X-wing’s shitty radio receiver.

But, since there’s so many clips and they overlap each other, we decided spreading them out into the front channels wasn’t too much of a stretch.

The Wookiee sounds all right, that’s cool! Just making sure.

Okay, finally was able to listen with earphones. I agree, it’s awfully noisy. I truly hate not to include a clip from everyone who submitted something, but maybe it’d be better to actually hear what people are saying… That initial mockup had some chatter and calling in, with some boosted to be audible and others less so, but there wasn’t as much sheer content then. Maybe going back to having fewer clips, selecting those that sound the best and making sure to include the ones from people who have contributed to this project the most regardless.

I think I prefer option A overall, but maybe it’s just because it’s closer to the clip I listened to a bunch to do my initial mockup. I do think that the wookiee roar should be a little earlier, unless intended to represent Chewie himself, since it happens as the Falcon swoops into frame.

I do appreciate you tackling the mixing for this, and hope this isn’t a big setback!

Sounds great, axlanian!

And I did try having both say “always,” but it didn’t sound as good as you’d hope since only one is whispering.

Sounds like this project would be better served to leave Lando’s introduction in Panama. Though I used a foreign language track to replace the muppety “okay!” line with something milder.

And I think pacing-wise they may have made a good move structuring there opening as Kylo > Falcon > Rey.

And yeah, I haven’t removed Rey handing Leia the saber. I don’t see any reason to aside from the continuity error. But, do you happen to already have a clip posted of the change? What all are you cutting? I know the Leia footage is fleeting and so I hate to cut it down.

I know at least DominicCobb and I are making that change. But I don’t think Leia should appear visibly unless you move her body disappearing to earlier.

Being worked on, the music cue is the issue. I can’t wait for that to be audibly polished.

I did a version of this with cleaner audio. I know some people didn’t like my transition, but it should be clean enough to re-work.

Your version sounds fine, but I think the issue is that Hal wanted to use the extended jump without TIEs that skenera and poppasketti worked on. I think ya’ll are probably looking for something more like this with the audio:

That might be the best I’ve heard so far. Could you send me the audio?

Is there a consensus about whether to move the first Falcon sequence to between “I’ll earn your brother’s saber” and “the Falcon’s back”?

And I hadn’t really considered removing Lando but doing so makes sense and would make that middle chunk a little less cluttered. Any against?

Amen.

Thanks, man.

Thanks, jonh! And thanks for providing the alternate Obi-Wan shot. I like how the added glow makes the slight aging applied to Anakin a little more noticeable.

Jake, did you do anything fancy to do those cross fades?

Shaped like CGI dinosaurs.

Just parent and child, yes.

Gotcha. Axlanian is putting one together already, and I’m planning to just add any additional submissions myself, even if they have to be a little quieter maybe. If you’d like to try that’d be fine, but just know he’s also already been getting that going.

Sure, I can update that. Were you wanting to play around with them?

Edit: done.

Sent!

I would prefer to keep the Rey-Ben saber pass not to have the cross fade because it telegraphs something it might telegraph too strongly what’s going on. I think the moment invites the viewer to be a little unsure if they’re communicating at first.

I could imagine having two or three of these as Leia reaches out to Ben, though. Nice idea!

Hmm, or maybe as Leia reaches out to him before losing the will to live…

Thanks for continuing to give this attention and care. I like how you have Luke lowering his arm while vanishing. It reminds me of how in the Trek movies they made a point to have people move while the transporter effect is going on, so it feels more convincing and because they could at that point.

I’m happy to use what you’re happy with. The close up of Kenobi seems weird to me, it feels different than the other three. Any reason for that change over the initial version you did?

Nice! What was the source of the music? Did you slow down the speed yourself or was it like that?
