Hey, guys. It’s me, the real Yoda. ‘Sup?

Wrong movie, but giving him a… “more matured” voice or manner of speaking in AOTC would help a lot for his character.

I enlisted the help of danieldubb, and he’s been able to apply the right settings to make these sources cohere pretty well. I couldn’t get it 100% done right now, but I think it’ll be a big step up.

(not Ivan’s edit though, this guy’s version of that was actually good)

lol

I still think if they’d done that they’d never hear the end of the “Allahu Akbar” jokes.

Despite the straightforward logic of making Episode I as the first community focus month, I think this one is the most hashed out.

But so far it sounds like there could be some old, classic ideas resurrected and perhaps completed.

Wow, what a discussion! My intent with potentially changing that line was to “correct” an apparent implied story idea that appears to have been rejected by canon as things bore out following TLJ’s release. Not to flatten the story or make Ben seem worse. (Which is worse, slaughtering eight people and leading three to join Hitler’s SS or slaughtering eleven people?)

Also, consider the dramatic pause in the original versus this version:

“When I came to, the temple was burning. He’d vanished with a handful of my students…”

“Were the others okay?”

“… and slaughtered the rest.”

“No!”

Vs

“When I came to, the temple was burning. He’d vanished…”

“Was everyone okay?”

“…and slaughtered my students.”

“No!”

Also, how would people feel about clipping Poe and Rey “meeting” at the end? I imagine people won’t like the idea, but wanted to see, because they are a couple feet apart for a whole scene in TFA. When I see that moment it makes me think, “The movie is making a point that they have not met before” more than “Oh I bet this goes somewhere.” If anything, their friendship I feel is better served to not highlight that it started right when we would have last seen them by the time of TROS.

Let alone a “handful” of “a dozen.”

Does the editing sound good enough? I have to cut Luke off quickly after “vanished,” which originally lead right into “with….”

Yeah but this new line from Luke gives a more canon-accurate impression to the audience than the original. A few of Luke’s students pursue Ben and are also killed by him.

The original line seems to establish that the missing students were aligned with Ben and followed him, potentially forming the Knights of Ren or something.

Also, it would be easy to trim out Rey and Poe’s little meetcute at the end of the movie. They do appear like four feet away from each other at the end of TFA. I can’t remember if this was ever considered.

Here’s an idea for a potential tweak.

It seems like the official canon has retconned a line from TLJ that implied something they wanted to nix. This proposed alteration brings TLJ in line with the canon story about what happened, and removes the red herring. It is the scene in which Luke first tells Rey about the night of the Jedi Temple massacre.

Original line: “When I came to, the temple was burning. He’d vanished with a handful of my students… and slaughtered the rest.”

New line: “When I came to, the temple was burning. He’d vanished… and slaughtered my students.”

Here’s the clip, though in audio only. I didn’t want to re-rip the video stream just to test out this idea:

Perhaps whomever suggests an idea could oversee the production. Essentially “do so and so a favor” month.

ConcentrAte!

I’m saddened to hear this. oojason has been here forever and a day, and always been a staple of positivity.

I don’t know what drama went on, and I don’t need to. But I will miss you, old timer. If you do come to find your way back I’ll be glad, but I wish you the best.

I think Nev is taking a break but I’m sure he’ll send me what’s needed when he’s ready. Until then I’ll wait.

If you were gonna replace one line from a stormtrooper somewhere in the OT with something from Temeura Morrison, what would it be and what would be the source for the line?

Perhaps “there’s no one here” as they conclude searching the Falcon. I’m sure there’d at least be a rough equivalent to that line available.

How’s this? I added new clips to the same folder, with “2” appended to the filenames. See if this works.

Here’s a folder of Boba Fett’s four lines in ESB with work done to partially replace these with things from Battlefront II. This is finished work, with foley and everything mixed in ready to go. I put them in here as stereo, but please listen with your best headphone and try to be super discerning. I just need to know whether these work, considering whether they do as a whole.

“As you wish” could be included safely even if the others aren’t. I don’t dig having to modify the lines, though these are close paraphrases.
“He’s not worth anything to me dead” is sentence mixed.
“He’s worth a fortune to me” is lightly sentence mixed, but my bigger concern is that it may not match up with the first half of the line (“What if he doesn’t survive?”). I tried to pitch adjust, but it wasn’t working with either because it either introduces artifacts or the music is affect in a jarring way.
I included “Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold” for reference, since it can’t be modified.

So again, we gotta be honest with ourselves. Is the sum of this presentable to millions worldwide in 1997 cinema DTS?

Dub over all stormtroopers with Temeura Morrison, whether the dialogue makes sense or not.

If we get Temeura in a wig and makeup, it’ll be worth it.

Yoda is pretty tall in the prequels until his legs are cut off while dueling the Emperor.

Here’s what we could eventually see. I really need to watch The Bad Batch.

The little robot was saying, “Congratulations, Mr. Fett. You are now completely finished with the flashbacks.”

Sent!

Done!
