I’d like a link also!

Just donated $15. I saw this movie many times in the theater and these images just feel right for this movie.

I picture Luke’s face from the moment in TLJ as he aches while hearing Yoda confront him with bitter truths often when reading existential material.

Perhaps that makes more sense for the Rey Nobody version.

Thanks, man!

I don’t think the AI voice is strong enough to carry three dramatic lines in a row like that, lines that aren’t strictly necessary.

But I’ll see how that Poe line sounds, to replace “heads up.” Won’t affect sync anyway.

I recall that too. Did anything ever come of it? It’s not something that cries out to me but if I’ve forgotten something I’d be glad to be reminded.

Not sure. I’m just worried about the main version for now, and I don’t know what other Rey Nobody ideas that team may present. But just as before, once they hand me whatever they have I will bake it in and release that as well.

I hereby declare V3 to be ‘sync-locked.’ While I won’t rule out minor tweaks that do not impact audio/video sync, the timeline overall is locked into place. This allows me to chip away at all the things that remain to be done and get this to release.

And once that’s done, pretty sure that’ll be it for me and the Sequel Trilogy. Pretty happy with how it all shaped up, all things considered.

Awesome. Has the changelist been finalised?

Added ‘Sith Eyes’ to ‘Evil Rey,’ including replacing her milky eyes for one shot (FX by Burbin)

Reinstated previously cut dialogue as the heroes reunite at the Resistance base, replacing the term ‘lightspeed skipping’ with ‘lightspeed ramming’ (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks)

New dialogue for Poe during the briefing scene establishes clearly that the Final Order fleet consists of modified ships from the Empire, rather than implying they were built from the ground up later on (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks)

Added two short, unobtrusive new lines for Leia to Rey (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks)

Added new dialogue for Kylo Ren during his ‘ForceTime’ duel with Rey to provide a more focused retcon of TLJ and make it explicit that Rey’s parents paid Unklar Plutt rather than selling her (AI provided by Jar Jar Bricks)

Replaced Kylo Ren’s line “I never lied to you” with “You were right” for more intuitive and precise continuity with TLJ even as the scene retcons it. In that film, it is Rey herself who supplies the information that her parents “were nobody.” (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks; voiceover provided for prior versions by poppasketti)

Altered Kylo Ren’s line to, “We’ve become a dyad in the Force,” which feels like it builds on TLJ’s ending (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks; audio used in prior versions from sherlockpotter)

Replaced the obtuse reminder while working on the Falcon that 3PO had his memory erased in the form of a line wishing they had an R2 unit to help (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks; audio provided for prior versions by Chase Adams)

As 3PO has his memory restored, he no longer implies this was Rey’s very first mission, as it either has or will surely be retconned by ancillary material (AI voice provided by Jar Jar Bricks)

The FX for Leia’s now purple lightsaber has been color corrected to look less pink during sequences on Exegol than in prior versions (color correction by Burbin, FX by Skenera)

I’m sorry, but I genuinely prefer the old version of “and I will be your protocol droid.” Its animated tone fits much better with his movement in the shot and carries a sense of 3PO being happy to be of use. Gotta go with my gut.

Every time I turn around you’re expanding this project and turning out new material like it’s nothing!

You are a maniac.

I’ll bake it in next time I’m in the chair and see if I feel strongly about it after doing so!

I honestly prefer the original, or at least am used to it and didn’t feel it needed replacing. It’s a bit more animated.

Can’t say I’m married to it though. Anyone else have a preference?

I think the line for 3PO after his memory is restored sounds great once put into the timeline, adjusting pitch a little to match the surrounding dialogue and adding 3PO motor/gear sounds.

Unfortunately, the existing line, “It seems diplomacy is not our specialty” is too long to fit nicely into the scene as it is. Also, the line in V2 for the exchange between 3PO and the trooper has some silly humor but our line seems to be flat in context. Like it should be funny but is played straight. So I think I’ll leave it as we had it for V2. (I honestly cannot remember what the scene was for V1; does anyone remember? lol)

And the dialogue for Poe. Even though what we had before seemed cheesy, I think the reworked lines are even more so. With what we had prior, Poe clearly says this is a stockpile of old destroyers and then says they’ve been modified with cannons. The new one seems to be less clear about these things. I think at the end of the day one has to accept that a huge fleet of Star Destroyers like that is just kind of dumb regardless. So I intend to use what JJB has already generated before.

All things considered, I’m declaring V3 ‘sync-locked,’ which will let me chip away at the arduous task of adjusting all the subtitle and audio tracks. It’ll still be a while for that reason, but V3 and this project’s full culmination will be nigh.

This whole, massive project sounds perfect for me. I’d like to check out GOT but… just can’t commit to the time involved. And there’s and added joy of taking in someone’s undoubtedly laborious fan editing the way it’s best tested: totally blind and ignorant of the source material!

Is there anything I should be cautioned about before starting? I know that the series is incomplete, so I imagine I’ll watch what’s been done so far and then maybe again when the next installment is finished.

Also, could I get a PM?

Well at least this one can breathe properly without a rushed production schedule. It’s a familiar posture for us SW fans, but I hope it’s good and I’m rooting for it.

I used Apple’s Compressor 4 for the downmixing.

Release date just announced as 12/15/2026.

Whatever drugs you’re on, I want some.

Yes!

I will bake those into clips as soon as I am able, which I never know when will be. But thank you.

It sounds pretty lifeless; I’d wonder if R2 broke him.
