The Acolyte - The Spence Edit

I also want to get ahead of a few things, just because I know they will be commented on. A few of the “woke” things, or other things certain people complained about are going to be cut from my edit, but that’s absolutely not the reason why.

I had to add a statement about my TLJ edit shortly after I released it; a shame to have to preface it!

Anyway, I like the idea of structuring the transitions to flashbacks, and if it works to sprinkle them throughout then that ought to help this thing feel like a streamlined film should. Looking forward to it.

Can anyone translate the new line? Need Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, and Russian.

It’s in the context of Luke speaking to Rey, just after telling her that Leia chose to follow their mother’s path due to fearing Vader’s hatred.

“By training you as a Jedi, Leia confronted her fears and embraced love over hatred.”

Brazilian Portuguese: “Treinando você como jedi, Leia confrontou seus medos e escolheu o amor acima do ódio.”

Is the existing Portuguese subtitles Brazilian? I’m not sure offhand. Would this translated line fit in okay with the existing subtitles?

The ‘Custom Special Edition’ That Almost Wasn’t, But Then Was (Released)
Time

There will for sure be another ANH update, though not right away. I will not update only for this one thing, but wait hopefully for updated source material.

But the change I want to make is using TMWNN’s footage to show Vader jump to hyperspace after the Death Star is destroyed. This dovetails nicely with two things: seeing the Falcon drop out of hyperspace in this edit, and seeing that Kylo Ren uses this ship to travel to Exegol in Ascendant.

Wish I’d have recognized this before making the recent update!

Only problem with Burbin’s line is that Luke’s statement needs to end with a direct mention of Exegol so that Rey can respond with, “I can’t get there.” And the order of shots dictates Luke having to mention the thousand generations before then saying for Leia’s legacy to guide her on Exegol.

Also, JJB, I prefer the delivery of 3PO’s lines about needing a mechanic that were already used in V5 over the updated ones you provide. If you want to try again I can consider alts, but in a direct comparison the old one fares better to me.

New AI "Deepfake" for fixing shoddy dialogue?
Time

All I can think of at the moment is adding short little shots where a character bluntly states the explicit change that the fan editor wants to make.

Han steps out of Maz’s cantina and says, “The First Order, they’ve caught up with us with their flagship and will be coming to get us any minute.”

Finn chastises DJ onboard their stolen getaway ship, “When you casually lead us to this ship after we escaped from our cell, I figured you owned it!”

Rey picks up a dagger from the ground of the underground cave and says, “I sense that this dagger can communicate things to me telepathically, but only if I agree to tap into my inner darkness.”
