I think that’s just unfortunately a side effect of the source material - her reading a book. Not a lot of opportunity to be whispering there. I think the first clip I posted managed to get her to somewhat whisper due to the way the AI had her deliver the line. But after regenerating other lines a bunch of times I haven’t been able to get a similar effect.
I think I actually prefer the original delivery but here’s the other one:
Yup, “this lightsaber belongs to you now” is definitely better. I’ll try that out.
Here is a draft of the line I mentioned in my last post:
I’m currently trying to get her to say, “It belongs to you now” when she gives Rey the lightsaber before leaving the Resistance base.
EDIT: If anybody has Leia line ideas throughout the sequel trilogy I’m willing to give them a shot. Still have 30,000 words left.
I just stumbled upon this and was blown away. It uses this AI to create remarkably clear dialogue, and based on the spot-on pronunciation of the made-up words in that sample as well as some words which were clearly misread, this example was made by speaking the words to the AI and having the AI tune the voice to a specific character. If this is true, then it is a vast improvement over the FakeYou AI which failed to make the cut in my edit.
So what do you think? I’m thinking about a few choice discussions in the OT and how they could be transformed with a few edits from this AI.
I have a voice library for Carrie Fisher/Leia right now. I literally just put an entire 2 hours+ of her reading her book as input. Here is a clip I created:

Depends. Do you have an audio library of Oscar Isaac with no background noise?
Or how about something like this after Leia calls out to Ben on the Death Star wreckage:
Well, I can make Adam Driver say anything we want, really. I was just envisioning placing a clip like that when Rey and Ben connect in the dyad before the Palpy fight. Maybe add an echo effect over the voice so that it’s clear they’re communicating telepathically.
Sorry for the double post, but how do we feel about something like this for a v3:
I can edit the cadence and delivery a bit.
What… is different about that clip?
She’s got Sith eyes. Very subtle.
Not wanting to break the
tenuous peace with the
remnants of the former
Empire, several senators
in the New Republic have
secretly authorized a daring
task force to resist the
rising threat of an extremist
faction called the FIRST
ORDER.
I like this crawl the best so far, personally. I would just reword this section as the following:
Seeking to keep the tenuous
peace with the remnants of
the fallen Empire, several
senators in the New Republic
have secretly authorized a
daring task force to resist
the rising threat of an
Imperial faction known as
the FIRST ORDER.
What I like best about this crawl is it suggests there are other Imperial remnant factions out there (which we will see with the Final Order and the Sith Eternal in TROS).
I’d say the visuals are pretty darn close, all things considered. After the de-age you might not be able to tell mid-viewing, only if you put them side by side like that.
You might want to edit out Anakin’s right shoulder, as it freezes in place otherwise. Having the wipe come in from the right would work, but it might be visually confusing. In regards to audio, this is definitely an improvement.
The way it reads to me seems like a troll. Honestly, I’d be concerned for that individual’s mental health if it wasn’t.
I agree with both of you. At this point, I’m on the hunt for mostly additive editions of everything except the sequels. Although something like Jar Jar stepping in shit is definitely just cringe and needs to go.
That’s one hell of an impression. Dang. I thought it had to be AI.
Speaking of looking more similar, the above edits are excellent but their picture quality is superior to AOTC. What settings would capture the same weirdly lit, slightly fuzzy look?
Maybe add in some more film grain? The lighting on this was already changed I believe.
The music transition at the end isn’t 100% smooth, but everything else is absolutely perfect! I’d love to use it in an extended edit myself, the de-age stuff doesn’t worry me too much.
Ooh now this is an extended edition I want to see!
The flashback would work best in an edit which retains Anakin resenting Obi-Wan for “holding him back” I feel like. Which this edit thankfully removes.
Have you or are you going to do eps 1 & 2,I think ep 2 has some great character moments with padme, I’ve tried to do extended versions of prequels before myself but for some reason the deleted scenes judder and look out of place so I’ve given up 😂
Honestly I’d be super interested in this as well so long as the Kenobi flashback was included. I wonder how long the movie would be at that point. Nearing 3 hours surely.
Remembered this thread and decided to have a go at adding fitting score to the scene (taken mostly from Episode II).

The sound effects are unfinished, the biggest thing I need to do (other than stabilizing some of the handheld shots) is extend the final shot so that a wipe can work. I’m mostly happy with how the music sounds, but some of the transitions could use some tweaking I think. Plus Anakin’s theme at the beginning could be replaced with more ‘scene transition-y’ music.
Honestly something like this is all Episode 2 needs to sell Anakin and Obi-Wan’s relationship. Heck, I think including this enables the use of him complaining to Padme in her apartment and maybe even his mental breakdown after the Tuskens. “He’s holding me back!” and all that.
I think he posted them at some point on one of his threads for the SE edits. I remember watching them. But idk if they’re still up.
Those come from his custom SE edits of the original trilogy.
Honestly this sounds pretty darn good. I’d already replaced the ending of TAS with the original so I could still have the Yoda duel but I don’t believe I have any issues with what Malgus is describing either. I’d appreciate a PM when you’re done with this as well, Hal.
