I haven’t read anything recent on this thread, but here’s a clip of a replaced 3PO line with some help from Chase. The audio used wasn’t clean but I think it blends into this context reasonably well.
I think having someone else do 9 would’ve alleviated that. As it turned out, it feels like a well-executed but shallow opening, an interesting shake-up with the power of myth, then a return with a vengeance to shallow that tries to sidestep the meat of the trilogy.
If you like JJ better, RJ’s chapter is gonna stand out as the spoiled meat in the sandwhich. And if you like RJ, JJ seems like he slapped pop tarts on either side of roast beef.
JEDIT:
JJ’s plan was probably crap and Rian realized that it was crap.
lol, indeed.
Pedantic point, and I only speak English, but shouldn’t it be “Echoes of the Past”?
Add lens flares to the bonus documentary whenever JJ is in frame.
I don’t think JJ Abrams reads enough Campbell. Despite what Darth Maul what’s-his-face recently said about Rian Johnson not doing his Star Wars homework, I think the sentiment is much more appropriately directed toward JJ in relation to Star Wars’ makeup.
Yeah, I was thinking about sneaking in a not-audible “I’m naked! heehahawwhaw” 😃
Copy that, Red Rooster.
And yeah, despite it being the original idea, reducing “For Skywalker” to just a couple voices is probably for the best. It might be better to even tone down the alien battle cries about Skywalker somewhat at the end.
And I can’t tell, did you maybe shift around the last check-in before we go to Lando? As it is in that clip it sounds like, and very well may be, the same female voice saying two things in close proximity. I think what was there before sounded more like a phone recording and was a markedly different voice. (I’m using my work computer’s speakers though, so I could be wrong.)
(Gotta go, can’t let the man know what’s up!)
From Google Drive? It should download it just as the files, or maybe as one zip file. Try extracting the first zip file and see if they all unzip into one folder with the contents.
And I’m sorry, but I don’t know why your player is having trouble interpreting how to display them. Maybe those two lines of pixels are enough to make it think it needs to stretch to fill? I don’t know. 😕
jonh, I want you to send me some audio. You need to be included in this. It can just be a simple “Ship or crew or person name standing by”. If it weren’t already a ship name with crew to recognize I’d say “the Ghost” would have been perfect.
Poppasketti, FWIW (and I’m afraid the finer details may elude me), I like Option A’s trajectory and lightspeed jump but E’s little boost of the engines partway through. But I’m happy with whatever consensus emerges about the shot. Both are incredible.
Thanks to all with the audio submissions and getting appropriate effects onto them. We’re taking a liberty to expand them to the left and right channels rather than just the center. I like axlanian’s, as he kept my line placements more or less. Personally I don’t want to open with a prominent “9000 crew standing by”, not only because it’s my voice but because it’s a little too meta. So the line is there but it’s a bit buried. Could also be confusing, as though the whole informal fleet is being referred to as the ‘9000 Crew.’
So, the “For Skywalker” line had to be pruned, so further submissions should be check-in’s or other chatter.
And since it came up in Dom’s thread, in my head the primary version of this project will retain Rey Palpatine. This will be the conservative style that has served me well. But, I plan to release a Rey Nobody edit, perhaps at a later time, once that idea is completed by whomever, with an eye toward Dom’s project.
Subtitles for a mute, invisible character that none of the other characters know is there. He introduces himself as such in the first scene of TPM, and dies of an invisible head explosion during the final scene of TROS, which is explained by a second character who comments on this and then explains how he was also there the whole time but didn’t choose to speak.
Lando pulls a Holdo maneuver into the last Destroyer while letting out a gluttonous laugh.
Most of the links don’t seem to work, and the Mustafar link takes me to the final scene.
Hmm, I don’t remember but they should’ve been encoded the same way. I don’t know…
Lando lead around a death squad to take down all the Star Destroyers in the galaxy afterwards.
Wait, are you saying the image is stretched? Might be an issue with your player.
Yeah the encoder didn’t include the empty black areas to bring it to 2.35:1. So technically it isn’t 720p, sure. But that sounds like you haven’t done anything wrong.
Well, no, I’ll still check it out!
For the moment, I don’t think it’s needed to reshuffle the end shots about the sunset. It’s just a different angle.
And while I think there’s potential in restructuring Ben’s death, I don’t see myself going that way.
Trying to please everyone is a noble endeavor but you don’t have to look further than TROS to see it’s results.

Whoa, that’s pretty cool! That could have been interesting to tie to Snoke in some way.
In my head, Snoke is a clone of Plagueis.
Someone improved the Morrison ESB Fett?
Yeah, it was fun to hop on for part of.
“But what you didn’t consider is how fucking wrong you were.”
Don’t put too much into it, just wondering about it. The line that’s there works just fine, and I can’t go back to the prequels for a few reasons.
With any luck the scene itself will just have his dialogue in the center channel. Can you send me the raw lines for now? If I get the chance I’ll see how it sounds.
JEDIT: Even though the prequel edits are over with, I need to ask.
Any idea of a better line for 3PO than, “I think I’m getting the hang of this flying business”?
In Ep1, I replaced “I can assure you they will never get me onto one of those dreadful starships” with “I hope never to end up on a mission of that nature.”
And in Ep2 I replaced “I’m not worried, R2, it’s just I’ve never flown before” with “For a mechanic you seem to do an excessive amount of thinking.”
For Ep3 I couldn’t find a slam dunk replacement so I imagine it just sounds like 3PO has settled into being a chauffeur.
Hey, Chase, that’s awesome! I’m partial to “Where is an R2 unit when you need one?”
It doesn’t feel like he needs to have memories to say such a thing, and yet still had irony. The original line was just pointedly saying “I still don’t remember anything durrr.”
