Yeah that video I sent has an impression of both him and Palps. Sounds pretty good, I might add.
EDIT: Managed to install software on my laptop here and yeah… the audio just doesn’t work. Adam says, “what could you give me?” with a pretty deep voice, so it sticks out like a sore thumb.
It might sound better in the actual scene but as of right now I’m not sure about the line tbh. Wish I had access to my software rn.
This Palpatine impression is still pretty damn good I’d say:
Apparently other people don’t like the idea of Kylo saying “You’re just a clone” because it may lead the audience to believe that this isn’t the real Palpy. But that’s kinda countered by Palpy’s new line, “Kill me, and my spirit will pass into you.” So yeah, I hope he can do that one line for us. It’s a nice diss by Kylo (even though it isn’t entirely true). Even if Hal doesn’t want the line in this edit I would absolutely put that in my personal version of 2.0.
Oh geez just realized I posted that 30 mins after you announced that lmao.
By the way, I just reached back out to Speaking of AI yesterday to see how his Adam Driver AI model is coming along.
Has he responded yet?
If he has his prequel memories this whole time why wouldn’t he restore them before?
That was my first thought. You’re telling me that in the past 50 years together R2 never considered giving him the prequel memories back? Which makes me think he doesn’t have them to begin with.
The fixes to Luke’s lightsaber make me so happy. Nicely done.
He probs got confused because you didn’t put quotes around “No one”. I think the moment works better with her declaration of being a Jedi as well.
Hi. I don’t read all the messages of this thread, and the last time I saw TROS was in the cinema, so I have a question (if you guys doesn’t bothered to answer): In the scene of Luke and Leia training, what’s the difference between the new dialogue from this edit and the original dialogue from the movie? Just curious to know what improvement you are making on the scene, and how it helps to improve the film as a whole
We also replaced “you’ll take both sabers to Exegol” with “We’ll always be with you”. At least that’s how I remember it.
Is the the Skywalker blade still going to be cracked in V2?
That’s up in the air because MR just gave us the impression that he’s done here.
Not sure it can get much better than that! Easily could have been in the theatrical without me noticing.
Not sure how I feel about being called JJ of all things lol. (Just kidding, I actually think it’s kinda fitting for this).
Anyway, sounds like the Leia scene trims have been officially accepted? If so, great.
Gonna have to agree with MR here. I’ve been getting those kind of vibes from Testing. That’s why I usually try to put up with his things. Would be quite helpful to know.
Kinda crazy how mirroring footage makes it look completely different. I also noticed that Leia looked kinda mirrored in that scene when I first saw it.
As much as I would be against cutting anymore of Leia’s dialogue, This works really well. Nice work Sherlock.
I mean, the only line being cut is “No”. So nothing lost, really.
Burbin, I always thought that line was super meta and took my right out of the movie. Agreed.
EDIT: If you couldn’t tell, I support Sherlock’s clip. Obviously it just needs some audio work.
I’d be more of build-up. It doesn’t confirm WHY they abandoned her. Also in TFA and TLJ pre-throne room they already give out evidence and hints of Rey’s insecurities. (That’s also my Reddit post.)
In the previous Force bond scene (which takes place right before the mirror scene) Rey denies that her parents abandoned her, so it would kinda be a whiplash 180 turnaround moment imo.
How does this sound? Don’t have access to computer atm.
Rey: I need to finish what Luke started. Find Exegol.
Leia: No. Too long…
Rey: I don’t want to go without your blessing but I will. I will. It’s what you would do.
Something else I was thinking about: Does anyone else think it’s kind of weird when Rey is telling Leia that they have exactly one chance of saving the galaxy before everything is destroyed, and Leia’s response is essentially, “…Nah”? I wonder if there would be some way of supplying Leia with some clarifying dialogue (“Once you’re training is finished…” “You’re not ready for this yet…”). Either that, or just cut straight from “Find Exegol. Find the Emperor.” to Leia looking up, to Rey refueling the Falcon.
Why on earth would Leia reject the one potential chance they have? Why does Rey care about Leia’s “blessing”? If Leia has a legitimate reason for rejecting the plan, why doesn’t she argue the point? (The answer for all of this is that “Disney had a shot of Carrie Fisher saying ‘No,’ and wrote this entire, stupid exchange to capitalize on that shot.”)
Yes please. The reason why she doesn’t want her to leave has been removed in this edit (she knows Rey is a Palpatine).
I’ve already looked extensively through the available dialogue and the only thing there is is “Too long…” before Rey interrupts. Other than that, I think this scene could use a trim or two.
Right, no, now I remember why you have to be vague about Rey’s mental state in that scene: it would spoil the reveal in the throne room.
I’ll have to read over what I’ve already got for that part. I believe it had a lot to do with her feelings of being alone and worthless on Jakku, which is at least somewhat related to what you’re talking about.
I know it wouldn’t be possible for only his prequel memories to be restored because in the later scene he recognizes Luke’s X-wing and realizes that doesn’t make much sense. So if we were to include his prequel memories getting restored it would have to be along with everything else. I suppose that also begs the question of why R2 didn’t give him those memories sooner over the past 50 years.
I concur.
I agree it sounds less jarring but that it also doesn’t have the right inflection. Honestly not sure if I prefer that or not.
