Hal, I noticed you didn’t ask for translations of “Come home”. Did you decide against using that Leia line for whatever reason?
Not a bad idea, but Dark Empire comic book series was better with Papa Palpatine returning as a clone compared to this mess of an unintradesting take of this movie.
This kid unironically uses “intradesting” in nearly all of his posts. Cringe.
Cool thanks. I’m not sure how detailed my editing software’s color correction wheel is but I should be able to eyeball it in such a way to replicate that.
EDIT: What you described worked perfect, thanks again.
Hal, would you happen to know what color correction values were applied to this edit? And if so, how might I go about replicating it in editing software? I’m currently in the process of adding the aforementioned deleted scenes to a hybrid version of Legendary and Rekindled.
This is what I last had for it (would replace “Rey, be patient”):

I’m also wondering about this one:
https://youtu.be/-LzqBD8--H4
There might be room at the end of the movie where everybody thinks he’s being creepy for some reason. But at that point there’s no payoff.
I keep remembering random things that we discussed but aren’t on the list for v3 lol. Hal, did you receive the alternate line of Leia saying “Rey!” for the beginning of the film? I believe you said they used the same take twice in the original release.
The AI sounds like regular Mark Hamill but Mark being the voice actor that he is subtly changes his voice for when he plays his old Luke Skywalker character. It’s much gruffer and sounds kinda like his Firelord Ozai from Avatar.
I’m fine with both of those line updates. I wasn’t too crazy about either of them after further consideration.
Ah okay. I’ll be honest, I never actually watched v2, just v1. But I’m definitely doing a trilogy watch once v3 is out.
Ooh I just remembered another thing (not AI related) that you didn’t have on your changelog. Weren’t you planning on re-grading Jakku to look more like Starlight?
Eh, at this point I’m starting to remember why I gave up on AI Luke. It just doesn’t seem to work very well. I’d be fine if we just incorporated the Leia line I posted (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b6RBWXMa_zlCg24D4x0NFncDPZ4QbTpO/view?usp=sharing) as well as the re-dos of her previous lines.
Okay, this probably the best we’re gonna get: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zeHE5g4xy70ruzxzImpFKS8oDpThXvWh/view?usp=sharing
After listening more than a dozen times, I agree with Sasquatch that the first Leia line was by far the best: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b6RBWXMa_zlCg24D4x0NFncDPZ4QbTpO/view?usp=sharing
As for Luke, the biggest struggle was getting him to speak with a very gravelly voice (the results usually sound like a younger Mark). I can spin my last 5000 tokens and see if it’s both slow and gravelly, but until then those are the only two I’ve got.
Alright, these are so good that if you don’t put them in I’m definitely doing it with my copy! lol
Here is my preferred “lesson” line: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CRPv8w4DmbtYGsLI-01n7IUZeSe13qi2/view?usp=sharing
Here is a completely solid alternative: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hRCuJY7bolOwQ2APFODZ3eYgvFglQcK7/view?usp=sharing
I recommend placing the line very shortly before he says “Rey,” for the best effect.
I had to make a video demonstration for our Leia options because it works so shockingly well: https://youtu.be/Ut25aAEiBiM
My favorite is a toss up between the first and third in that video (not a fan of the whispering one). Keep in mind we could apply a small reverb effect to it, too.
Yes, I created a line for that. I’ll go digging for it momentarily.
Did you also want to put in the new Kylo lines for their first Skype call on Pasaana? I believe it went: “My mother doesn’t see the darkness in you. Your friends don’t either. But I do.” This would be replacing the previously-deleted “I’m going to find you and I’m going to turn you to the dark side.”
I still think it would be worth looking into crafting a “Ghost Ben” line for when Rey is leaving Exegol to both tie more into the novelization and to not make the last line Adam Driver says in these movies be “Ow.”
Where would that go? Over the shot of Rey looking down at his empty clothes? Also, what would he even say?
The only way for me to get a decent Adam Driver voice would be to buy his audio book, so it would have to be a really important line for me to even consider it.
EDIT: Hal, I can see to those things.
I bet if they had this tech during the development of TROS they would have used it. Ethically speaking, I’d say using this is justified if it helps a project achieve its artistic vision, particularly if it serves as a way to honor an actor that passed away.
I can’t remember: were you no longer interested in Leia saying “Come home!” to Ben when she reaches out? It would be a difficult line to sell but I still think it would be doable.
Those are really nice. Thank you.
Really? Not what I expected to hear. Maybe I am just going crazy and gaslighting myself.
You can totally hear the contempt Leia has for Palps in this alternate of “He’s too dangerous”: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1chKfssHAf45vADOpk5r1El_Hpw0u5Toz/view?usp=sharing
I’d just be worried about it being a tad too long so here is my preferred alt: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LcK84tdPmdSiWQ9_JczZpIVDZVHZf5z0/view?usp=sharing
Here are a couple alternative weapon lines that aren’t as “crispy”: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JHhbB3EWwMgYfqZHMmdG2lEnFyuW851K/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H6RKXmxZZ4dQX0EHUyHTs2MKvuKXQlTK/view?usp=sharing
EDIT: At this point I believe I prefer what I originally submitted a few months ago. At least I can say I tried again though 🤷
Which Leia lines are you currently using? I can regenerate the ones you felt were a bit “crispy” from awhile back. Specifically the “he’s too dangerous” one I don’t think I was happy with personally.
Yeah it’s a nice line from the novelization that would work best if we also wanted Luke to tell Rey that Leia did in fact know about her inner darkness later on. Not strictly necessary but cool nonetheless.

Yes, I created a line for that. I’ll go digging for it momentarily.

Alright, thanks for trying it out for me!
Came here to find out whether that is the case. I’m hoping with the delay that they can work something out with John Boyega to return to the series as a Jedi Knight trained by Rey.
EDIT: I know for myself and some other people the “And I will be your protocol droid!” line replacement didn’t sound 100% accurate for the scene so I regenerated it for us - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oisZaO1lv20F1Yv8M9EBMMppyd5nW5c0/view?usp=sharing
Wow I think that’s definitely better.
