Woah, that’s a lifesaver. Thank you so much!

EDIT: You may have missed a couple.
This is an updated version of he’s too dangerous: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SR_beM3RIN1yxqGQ-oAP7zo-odIY0jot/view?usp=sharing
And this is an updated version of A Jedi needs her weapon: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HbLxQ4IE1kKbHL47aHEwYfPaOkiJeBbq/view?usp=sharing

Both of those utilized the adjective/label feature.

I sent PMs to both of you. In the event that I am taking too long to reply, feel free to click on my profile and select “Start a Private Topic”.

Is this kinda what you were thinking for 3PO’s backstory line:

With the new adjectives I’ve given Leia’s voice profile, it should be able to handle those better. If you wanna PM me the ones you’d like redone I could check it out.

Yeah, you’d just have to extract them from the films with as little background noise as possible. I’m sure if somebody was dedicated enough they could isolate his lines from the audio mix, but I’m just not up for that myself.

Also, it’s not a problem for me to “work” on this. For some reason, I find AI generators super fun to mess around with, and the best part is all of this has only cost me 1 dollar so far.

Damn, that’s smooth. If you think you can top that somehow, check my previous comment again (it’s edited).

At this point, it just has the same affect as the “I’m a Jedi line” from Ascendant, where the mouth doesn’t match perfectly but it’s still really close and easy to not notice.

It’s really close, but I think you need to include the word “target” in there, otherwise there’s a bit of tone mismatch. If what I gave you isn’t enough, try this:

Here’s a louder version of the same line:

LMAO those words did the trick (first try gave me the following):

Also, I’m getting close to figuring out 3PO:

Can you guys think of any adjectives to describe 3PO’s voice patterns?

I forget, have you generated the line as we have it in Ascendant? It could still maybe help our truncated line sound better right at the edit point.

Yeah, that’s the best it’s gonna get with the gravelly flag probably. Here is an extremely rough execution of what it might sound like in the film:

I’m honestly not sure AI Mark is gonna work for this project, mostly because he speaks with such a deep voice when playing Luke in the sequels.

How about something like this for Luke’s vision monologue?

Also, for your list Hal, plenty of those already have been generated. Are you saying you’d like them all generated again?

I’m going to be taking a two day hiatus to prepare for and participate in a competition. When I return, I’ll be sure to generate any other ideas you guys suggest.

Yeah, here are some of her lines with the “slow pace” and more gravelly voice variables:

And here’s another (possibly better) take of that last Luke line:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15PUWzlzllReuzFBxl4ssxgXKrAMntmTF/view?usp=sharing

We could opt to replace all of Luke’s vision voice over in the hopes that it sounds more natural that way.

I’ve encountered some good news this morning. The voice cloning tool recently introduced “labels” on your clones, allowing you to specify how you want the AI to produce the voice. I added in a slower pace and more gravelly voice variables, and this was the result (based on Burbin’s line suggestion):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zo03jHaSIST71EEYlxogDI-TJNPWoEUj/view?usp=sharing
https://streamable.com/6xbykh

This sounds extremely similar to the way Mark speaks in the film. For a contrasting example, here is the same line with just the slower pace variable (no gravelly variable):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cBHFTojz0GmsCK8aRkKhS-GM92Xffplp/view?usp=sharing

The goal in replacing it was to avoid spoiling the end of the film. Also, to avoid a similar thing to what you described. Leia sacrifices her life to bring back Ben, and if she knew that would result in his death as well due to it requiring her to be a Jedi again it muddies the waters a bit. It’s better for Ben’s sacrifice to be of his own agency rather than because of some vision his mom had 30 years ago.

Dom, here is the line I was referring to:
https://youtu.be/-LzqBD8--H4

I think we’re overcomplicating things with all this “destiny” and “fate” mumbo-jumbo.

“Leia told me she sensed a different calling than a Jedi’s.”

It’s short, simple, and to the point. She had more motivation to focus her efforts on being a mother and political activist. Here are some generations:

The results are a lot more realistic now I’d say:

I’ve reached the end of my allotted characters, unfortunately. I’ll have to create another account using another email to get a 80% discount so I can go at it again. Alternatively, I can provide somebody with the Mark Hamill audio files if they want.

Hal 9000 said:

Once again, it sounds very convincing as the original actor… doing a table read.

The thing is, the book it draws from has plenty of dialog that Mark acts out like an actual character. So I’m not sure taking lines from the films would make much of a difference. Not to mention how much effort that would take. One other thing I haven’t tried yet (and will once I get access again) is adding in his readings from World War Z in addition to this latest audiobook. In that older audio book, it’s entirely him voicing a character (completely dialog).

Here’s what I’d use for the first scene:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/11EQ8uHXiEJBgntwghxnnmqogN6EJpA2S/view?usp=sharing

And here’s something similar to what Burbin mentioned for the flashback:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hV4s01PHj2_daV9oUlJ1X2txf1fuvjlh/view?usp=sharing

EDIT: On second thought, it may be best to simply ignore Leia knowing something about Rey (keep it the way it is in v2) but replace the other line in the flashback.

That’s definitely a valid opinion, Burbin.

I think that brings us back to “Leia knew about your inner conflict.” There may be a tenuous relationship between the visions and Palpatine, but the inner conflict is what her being a Palpatine is all about. So it makes sense to bring it up after mentioning her heritage.

Hal 9000 said:

I like what it implies, as it matches pre-TROS understanding of Leia’s life story, but it may not match the expression on her face during the flashback.

This is true, I hadn’t really considered this. Although, I’d imagine that her having to tell Luke she doesn’t want to be a Jedi anymore would cause a pained expression like that.

As for the line “Leia told me she had sensed the end of her Jedi path”, I’m personally not a big fan of it. I think Leia picks up her Jedi path again in TROS by training Rey and reaching out to Ben. It also is vague and kinda frustrating.

Luke: “So, why exactly are you quitting being a Jedi?”
Leia: “Idk bro, I’m just sensing some bad vibes or something.”

Let me generate a few more options in case those weren’t good enough:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Quw4Le7M2zwyayuHoe7beumrm25Pv6xh/view?usp=sharing

Yeah, I just assumed you wanted that gone so the viewer can decide what is stronger than blood.

But I think these new lines also help clarify that the vision we see in the film isn’t the first one Rey has. The novelization explains that they’ve been going on for a while, thus why Rey thinks if she tells Leia about them that she’s gonna ditch her as an apprentice.
