Hal wanted something really negative for Chewie to react to. The way I did it is the only way to condense all the necessary information, I think.
EDIT: To respond to you, Burbin, I was going to say “we don’t stand a chance” but I didn’t want Poe to be too doubtful about all this.
This should do it:

Wow, that was quick!
And I think that would be some nice connective tissue to TLJ by mentioning the Dreadnought. I’ll generate that shortly.
It would be nice to bring up because otherwise they just appear out of nowhere at the end for an easy explanation as to how they can destroy the ships easily.
I believe Sherlock’s edit will do that. I’m pretty sure Hal said he’s keeping that as-is.
That’s a good point, Burbin. As for the line, what about: “The fleet has heavily modified weapon systems”.
Try one of these two then:

I forgot that they’re getting this report directly from the First Order (who got it from Kylo Ren). So, really, they should know all of these details.
Here’s the best I can get the Poe lines to sound. It’d be nice to lipsync the line “His followers have been hiding something for years,” but with what’s available now this is what I can do. I don’t think it’s half bad and I doubt anyone would have batted an eye in the theater.

Also, I can’t really remove Finn’s line about Endor being “where the last war ended” because it makes the switch in focus of the scene happen very quickly, even for TROS standards.
ALSO, I am going to use yellow lightning for the primary version of Ascendant just like the ‘Rey Nobody’ version, as I very much like how it recontextualizes her yellow saber as an integration of what she feared. BUT, I will continue to honor the poll which showed people favoring using Vader’s TIE rather than the shuttle.
I feel like the technical aspects are really executed and, not having watched the movie a whole lot since it stopped being shown on theaters, I do indeed not notice anything off. I also kind of feel like more could be done with this line, though, since his followers hiding something is already implied in the rest of the movie. Why not make it more explicit how he survived, like mentioning essence transfer or whatever the current canon explanation is? Or at least something about him having a backup plan before Vader betrayed him.
The intro has clones of him and Palpy mentioning to Kylo he can transfer his consciousness. I think most fans of the series would be able to put two and two together.
The rest of Poe’s dialog is kinda important. We also had to consider lip sync. I think the only one that could be replaced is “He’s been planning his revenge”. Maybe he could say “He was prepared for his death”. Anything more complicated than that orindary people in the SW universe wouldn’t have any knowledge of. Heck, Merry is supposed to be a Sith lore expert and the best he can give us is “Dark science, cloning, secrets only the Sith knew”.
“He was prepared for his death” works for me. Fleshes out things out just a little better without feeling like they know more than they should.
Here it is if anybody wants it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yqJlDMYbQVdwJQjIjuKxo-Ler5s49Ptk/view?usp=sharing
Personally, I’m fine with the way we have it. Hal, if you’re happy with his current first line or want this new one, it doesn’t matter much. And you’re right, if we can just get somebody to move his mouth a bit we should have this in the bag.

I think all of the lines sound perfect except for the stockpile one. Let me generate some more options.

Here is our final list (as I understand it) for your convenience:

This one is pretty close too but it’s much quieter (which I know we wanted to avoid):

Here is a better and slower Final Order line: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DiNGWhhMYnVJVL0c9A1biPMYtrK8zJjo/view?usp=sharing
This should be a better take on the stockpile line:

Also, I already used the pace:Slow variable for all of these. It doesn’t get slower than this.

I’d like to know before I try generating the rest.
I believe I used “loud” on quite a few of the latest ones. I’m not sure if I did for the original lines I submitted.
I should also mention that Rey’s Sith eyes took them completely off guard (in a good way!). They both agreed that it added a lot to her character for her to tap into the dark side in that moment.
The scene where Rey is riding across the desert on her bike with the Star Destroyer in the background wasn’t white enough, he says.
I’m not sure that’s a good idea because Force judgment (yellow lightning) is a light side ability. Also, I thought the primary purpose of the yellow lightning was to distinctualize her from Palpy? If she is related to him, I’d imagine they would execute the ability in the same way, as hinted at in her new vision earlier in the film.
As for the Poe lines, I think that works well. But as stated before, I think we should definitely include a shot of Poe before he speaks or as he is beginning to speak so we understand who is talking.
I just watched the film with my brother and his friend. They had the following feedback:
An audio book that Mark Hamill recorded in the past year or so.
That’s actually a fair point, Hal, come to think of it. Because when I applied the effeminate adjective to 3PO it radically changed the output. I could give it a shot.
EDIT: Even with high-pitched and whiny adjectives it’s still got too much gruff to it I think - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ruTlA2ImODaAUA4N9P1Y0nN-vPB8zhF2/view?usp=drivesdk
It seems like such a small issue to me that I don’t know if it warrants creating a young Luke model for such a line. You’d have to skim through the originals and extract his dialog. Meh.
Don’t get me wrong, it would be cool to see! I’m just not interested in doing something like that myself.
Unless you would be okay with my current Mark voice profile? The problem is that his voice today is extremely different today than in the 70’s lol.
I think Obi-Wan being harsh to Anakin is good set up for Anakin’s whiny behavior about him throughout the movie, actually. But that is mostly edited out in an edit such as Hal’s. So your version would work best in an edit that follows his approach, for sure.
Does anybody have any plans on incorporating this in an edit? I know Bobson expressed interest in creating an AOTC ultra-extended edition (can’t wait for that!).
