Hold up, did we not finish the 3PO stuff?

Yeah, here is what I last had (5 total lines):

I don’t really see making a change like that anyway. Also, it’s my intention that once we get V3 out of the way, it’ll be the final revision of this project. This project has been a ride, and we did way more with it than we thought possible. I would like to take advantage of the un-arbitrary fixes currently being developed, but to avoid large, new ideas and let this come to a solid, final form. After all, it’ll be there for anyone else to pick up and work from. But I want to bring the ST to the same place I am very close to bringing the PT for me: complete finalization and set-down-forever-ness.

In that case, I can promise I’ll do the Poe stuff this weekend. Other than that, I think we’ve hit everything in the v3 change list.

Ben is another one of those characters where I’m not sure there is suitable material.

Using only the maskless dialog from Lego TFA doesn’t give good results. Adam has an audio book but it doesn’t sound like him at all for some reason. I tried his TED talk but there’s too much background noise on his AI voice. Honestly, I think the only option would be to trim his TLJ lines out of that movie and use some software to remove all background noise.

Here’s how that might sound as a whole (10,000+ tokens later, Benecio really needs to record better stuff lol):

Seeing as how it will be covered by music, sound FX, and other voices, I don’t think the mild audio issues on the latter half will be noticeable at all. But for something shorter and relatively flawless, I really like the sign in on its own:

I can DM you this stuff as well, Hal. The only reason I don’t want to submit my own voice is because once I hear it I would instantly be out taken of the movie experience haha. I’ve done theater a lot in my life, and I’m one of those people that can’t stand viewing their own performances.

For my “sign in” slot I’d ideally like to have AI Benicio Del Toro say the following: “Libertine, standing by. Living free, joining up!”

The Libertine is the ship DJ and gang stole in TLJ and I’d love to see some redemption for his character in this film even if its more of an easter egg. The second part is the inverse of his signature phrase: “Live free, don’t join.”

Hey, another thing, maybe I’m misremembering, but someone said something about using AI to give Lando and/or Maz an exchange about the Skywalker saber to fix the plot hole of “a good question for another time”, it is possible after all?

Nev has plans to explain this detail within TFA itself. In Rey’s vision the trailer footage of the saber handoff between Maz and Leia will be used with an AI Leia line: “Keep it safe, my old friend”.

I doubt an effective explanation would work in TROS.

You know what, I never thought of it that way, but what you said actually makes perfect sense given what we know from just the film itself. He says to Kylo at the beginning, “Kill me, and my spirit will pass into you, as all the Sith live in me.” That sort of gives the impression that these cultists summoned the spirits of all the Sith from Force-hell and made them possess the body of a cloned Palpatine. So perhaps none of this was of his own doing, but rather entirely because Sith cultists saw the open power vacuum and leftover Empire ships and seized the opportunity.

I think v3 might help with this interpretation given the AI Poe dialog at the briefing. We shall see.

Making the Obi-Wan & Anakin training session (From the Kenobi series) work in an AOTC edit.

Watching the BoBF shot back is kinda weird compared to AOTC. Like, the background is kinda… wavy? compared to the original. Like it has heat mirages or something.

Come to think of it, this is probably because of the evolution of CGI. AOTC CGI looked really flat and kinda plain.

Since we’re discussing AOTC edits and new editions has anybody thought about including this extended Jango death scene? Only a slight difference but I would love to see this in one of these new edits with the training scene.

EDIT: Including the flashback shot of boba holding the helmet from BoBF might be cool too.

Woah that’s some really impressive VFX. I can see why it was cut out tbh. That’s some pretty brutal stuff for a prominent Jedi to do.

That being said, I would prefer it in an extended cut for sure.

It’s coming from the same guy who said “Only a Sith deals in absolutes”. Perhaps he does have an issue with hypocrisy. And does that justify Anakin’s rage at him? Idk, I appreciate these kind of complex character perspectives. It’s like Luke in TLJ. We can see that he was wrong in his thinking, but we can also sit back and be like: “Hey, he kind of had a point there about the Jedi.”

The music cues are absolutely brilliant. Nicely done.

What exactly is wrong with “Your need for victory, Anakin, it blinds you”? I took it to mean that a fight still isn’t over even though an opponent is disarmed. Seems like a valuable lesson for a Padawan, but it could be interpreted in a way that he is being too harsh on him and “holding him back”.

The way I understand it, the end of the fight will remain clunky like that unless it’s reinstated.
