COD V9 is going up right now! I’ll work on the ‘Max’ version to get that done soon as well.

I’ll take a look at that and for the eventual update either change the line or the changelog.

Who knows? Maybe he’ll dig up Leia’s blue saber and forge a helmet from the original puppet show props. If that happens it’d be easy to swap out the shot.

I guess we’re all pretty much done with complaining about undoing obvious narrative points about characters dying?

It’s not a bad idea, except that I’ve already got the V9 update finished and have been encoding the mp4 versions.

I think the AI lines for COD/TPM are gonna be pretty darn seamless, so a big thank you to Jar Jar Bricks for providing those.

I was able to use the ‘Ultimate Edition’ TPM soundtrack (thank God) to rebuild the audio when Anakin introduces C-3PO along with some blanket foley sounds. I may use one other line if it sounds as good in context as I hope it will. And 3PO’s lines to R2 right before the podrace sequence that are already AI-generated in the current version will be updated to sound quite a bit better. I don’t think any viewer would suspect a thing. Net effect: 3PO is clearly depicted as having a nebulous backstory prior to Anakin finding and repairing him. And I think that’s pretty cool.

I was able to do a little bit of work on this tonight. I have a few AI Anakin lines to help with our 3PO retcon, but the setting of the Skywalker hovel does not at all lend itself to dialogue replacement.

The lines to mute would be, “Isn’t he great? He’s not finished yet.”
The replacement lines would be, “I’m fixing him up. He’s way better now!”

Not essential, as it works fine to simply skip over those lines.

Courtesy of Jar Jar Bricks, of course.

Edit: Disregard; came back later and absolutely nailed it.

Trim a frame or two’s worth of audio to modify the line:

“He was the best starpilot in the galaxy, and a cunning warrior. Ani was a good friend.”

Haven’t fully decided about that!

I don’t know, but I agree with you. I may just proceed with an update, as it would be pretty straightforward to plug in the source once I get it from TMWNN with the project all ready to go otherwise.

Master Lawdog said:

The volume level on Threepio’s new line sounds too low. It came off as quiet on playback.

It sounds to me about the same level as the surrounding dialogue on either side and as the original line.

The updated version of LOE are now available.

Three versions: LOE proper, and two alternate or ‘max’ versions. One in which the original ending is included in which Padme dies, and one in which she still lives.

AI can do a lot these days.

Vader’s saber shorts out halfway through the ESB duel so he has to start and use a chainsaw to cut Luke’s hand off. Blood fountain ensues.

Redub Dexter Jettster in an alien language and establish that he has a droid brain. When Obi-Wan visits the library, the librarian suggests he can’t find what he’s looking for because it was likely an AI hallucination.

3 shouldn’t be long!

1 may be; waiting on TMWNN’s color corrected version.

It almost certainly will be revisited, so I won’t worry about it for now, but thanks for highlighting it.

Just wanted to reiterate my enjoyment of and appreciation for this project.

I just finished my Andorpalooza which began with season one in January leading one episode per week into the launch of season two, which I chose to watch one episode per week as originally scheduled, and into this project.

Just about every episode, including these three, left me with a dumb grin on my face. The whole thing is stupefyingly good, and this is a seamless capper.

I think he means that shot is unusable, not the 19SE entirely.

Too bad about the bad CG model for the R2 unit closest to camera. Looks like a stand-in.

Wow, that looks fantastic! Mind sending me a link? I’ll make that the version of Rogue One to watch. I don’t dislike anything from the changelist.

Just kidding. But wow, what an absolute treat Andor has been. I’ve very much enjoyed viewing season two one week at a time to savor it in a similar slow-burn style as season one. (Although I watched the final episode a day earlier than proper!)

And I appreciate the discussion here I’ve missed out on until now. I have not yet rewatched Rogue One, so I’ll do that before finalizing a list of ideas, before eventually getting to actual work on an update. But yes, Andor is essential viewing and so it’s hard to imagine feeling good about anyone watching Rogue One without being encouraged to check it out as well. So this project’s original ideas are now somewhat displaced.

Here are my intentions and thoughts at this juncture.

Broom Kid, the link to your clip show is dead, so I have no idea what it contained. Do you still have this to present?

An opening set of text might be desirable but not necessary. I’d lean against it, unless something wins me over that is worthwhile. Open to formatting it like Solo’s opener.

Cassian’s intro on Kafrine must be reinstated and anything else necessary for that to fit well.

Mothma’s like about wanting to extract Galen in order for him to testify to the Senate is less plausible given season two of Andor. I could interpret it to mean he’d be put before the Senate by another party, maybe. Not sure a change is warranted.

Reinstate Draven’s order for Cassian to kill Galen Erso.

Restore the announcement on Jedha about the missing cargo pilot, if his original introduction remains cut.

Remove line where Cassian implies he’s never been in prison before. Perhaps “it’s the same to me.” That’s a nice idea if we can do it.

I’d like a modified version of the single shot of R2 and 3PO so that R2’s light is solid red (and maybe is a bit dim) and does not change, so that it would fit in well with any version of ANH.

It’s cool to have Vader. It’d have been cool to exclude him. I don’t plan to remove any of Vader, but if I did, it would be to remove his hallway scene and leave the rest.

Repurpose footage from the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey to depict a dying vision for Andor during the end of the Battle of Scarif to tie into the ending of the final episode of the show.

Plan to include alternate audio track with StarWarsStory’s alternate Vader voice actor, since Broom Kid has adapted it to 5.1.

Also, plan to include an adjusted score-only audio track since Broom Kid provided one. May need some additional material of course.

Both versions are fixed so everything available is current and fixed, at least as far as I know!

Just hatched an idea. And yes, it would involve an AI generated voice.

Okay so what is the current canon for force ghosts in Star Wars? TROS confused it.

As of ROTS I thought Qui-Gon was the only one who had any ability to persist after death and even then only vocally. Then, Yoda and Ben were able to go further than that under his tutelage. And then they sort of ‘helped’ Anakin become a Force ghost too. And idk, maybe could’ve helped any subsequent Jedi who didn’t know the tricks.

Then in TROS, we hear voices of many Jedi. (Implausibly though, only those the audience knows and not the thousands that lived since the ancient texts about communing with dead Jedi were written.)

Then, in Kenobi we see Qui-Gon’s ghost visually. But maybe he’d just taken a while to work it out; this isn’t as confusing as TROS.

So here’s the idea. It doesn’t totally solve things but helps.

Rey bemoans her difficulty following the Jedi texts’ instructions on communing with dead Jedi. We add a new line, “Luke wrote about it.” This cements the directions she is following within the lineage of Qui-Gon -> Yoda and Ben -> Luke.

The remaining issue would be Jedi whom were not privy to this speaking to Rey during the climax.

^ Agree.

Also, the Massassi temple on Yavin IV has lingering Force energy infused into it that sometimes has a mild rejuvenating effect on those whom the Force settles on as mystics or as messengers.

A cool interview with Hayden Christensen.

Yeah, there’s thousands of combinations of each variable and preference. I make everything available that I can for anyone wanting to create their own edits or merely modify or tweak mine.

By the way, the reason I didn’t use my logo at the start of the sequel trilogy edits is because the movie otherwise opens in silence.
