Fair enough. I agree 😉 I was thinking it might serve as a red herring for the audience that he’s not the spy.
And here’s the line I wanted considered for the Leia/Rey interaction:
So it would go:
Leia: No. Once we can co[mplete your training…]
Rey(interrupting): I don’t want to leave without your blessing but I will. I will. It’s what you would do.

LMAO where is this from?
EDIT: So it’s from the LEGO game again. https://youtu.be/wgbt_g6WgXU?t=221 I feel like the line in this video I shared would actually work pretty well there.
"Destroying the mask doesn’t contradict TLJ. Destroying the mask was out of frustration of being a knock off and failure to live up to Vader, not necessarily to let the past die. When Kylo said let the past die, he meant the Jedi, the Sith, the Empire of Old, etc. and make the future his way, a new order as per his vision.
He resurrected the mask because he felt confident that he could live up to Vader in turning Rey dark and killing Palpatine. He openly told Palpatine twice that he’d kill him after being subservient to Snoke, and actually succeeded in turning Rey to the dark side before Leia turned him back."
Yup. This is pretty much what I’ve been saying for a while now. He was trying to finish what Vader started by letting the past die; get rid of everything except for a new order ruled entirely by himself and those he cares for.
Coolio. What really put me off about that scene was that she wasn’t making any noises whatsoever. Obviously you can adjust the volume of the grunt as well as the pitch but here it is:

I do have another line suggestion for the Leia/Rey wayfinder scene, but I’ll save it for later today from clogging up the feed. IMO, it’s significantly better than the last one.
Alright, this is a SUPER subtle change but these are the kinds of things that will make Leia’s performance seem more realistic. I added in some light struggle effects when Leia collapses in the command room:
I forgot to lower the pitch on it but I think it works well enough as-is.
Just wanna thank Poppa again for the work on the “lately” line. Sounds perfect to me.
If ya’ll haven’t been able to tell already, I’ve given up on making the other two sound natural. But I’m convinced this one is flawless now.
I’m pretty sure that would be easily detected by viewers. She doesn’t have too many lines and when you use the same exact delivery twice in a row it would be obvious.
Anyways, I’m also fairly certain the delivery of the line wouldn’t match. She sounds much too eager/excited when she says “tell me”.
Thanks!
It would seem to be a little bit more than that Sherlock. Apparently Poe says “nav signals down, but not for long” during the battle. That would need to be removed as well.
EDIT: Did anyone get the “1000 generations live in you now” via with the Superman scene? Who ripped who off first?
Same writer lol. Kinda to be expected that similarities like that would pop up.
The problem with “Tell me” is that you’re just taking a line from one scene and moving it to another. If you move it over, then Leia only says the word “No” in her wayfinder conversation with Rey. That’s just laughably bad imo.
Poppa, could you send me just the “lately” line you adjusted? I feel it sounds great, but I guess I have a different pair of ears than everyone else.
At this point I would be more interested in removing the awkward staring in that wayfinder scene.
Here is the version I would prefer you to watch tomorrow Hal (only includes the line I feel is the most flawless):

I also feel like removing the “for a few minutes” is a good idea. But to be honest I don’t remember how the original dialogue went. I’ll need to rewatch it.
And to be honest Hal, I feel like the only line that could work in an edit like yours is the “there’s been a lot of that lately”. The rest is ever so slightly out of place imo.
EDIT: Yes, I would highly recommend removing “for just minutes”. I didn’t pay enough attention to the scene before. Nice catch Sherlock!
I’m like 99% sure that Carrie was having a hilarious time during the recording session for her lines on that game and it does show through. There are some death sounds in here that are just so funny.
I’m just willing to overlook it and also rationalize it as Leia not understanding that Rey wasn’t in a good mood at first. Thus the tone shift.
Just like Carrie Fisher in TROS!
So why not add more fuel to the fire of uncanny valley if in turn you strangely enough get a more personable portrayal of Leia?
It’s definitely not for everybody, so I suppose it’s best to not be included. I just know that the first thing I’ll do when I get v2 is slide a couple of these lines in there for myself. Guess I should learn some better audio implementation tactics in the meantime.
It’s kinda like the added Knights of Ren lines. Some people like them (me) and others don’t.
Does anyone say “Hello There” at any point during the sequel trilogy? Cause there’s audio of Rey saying it in a game: https://youtu.be/GC7ex3Ekhx4?t=397
If she said that line in TFA people would have used it as proof she was a Kenobi lmao.
To answer your question, no, I don’t think so.
Is the loudness of a line supposed to scale with where the camera is in comparison to the character? Because my thinking was that for the first two lines the camera was further away from her, while the final was much closer to her face.
I think I should just share the lines here again for everyone. I don’t really know what I’m doing with audio so maybe the reason it sounds off is because I’m doing something wrong.
The first lines are also lighter in implementation - they have more treble whereas the lines in the movie have more bass.
I’m definitely no audio professional. I just downloaded Audacity last week lol.
Would it be possible to augment these ones to have more bass? They probably sound off because I simply turned down the DB on the gain volume filter.
Unfortunately it’s not working for me, the tone doesn’t feel right for that scene.
I get what you mean. I think it’s because she was recording the lines for a children’s game. But for me personally, I am willing to overlook that. The lines make her seem more like a real person and less like a Woody doll playing catchphrases every so often.
If Hal doesn’t implement this stuff I know I am. Just makes her character seem so much more lively:
I do have a clip of Leia saying “Alright?”, but the problem is that once again she is speaking in a higher-pitched voice that contrasts her next line. Otherwise it would work as a replacement for “tell me”.
EDIT: NVM just found the golden ticket. There’s a line here of her saying, “There’s been a lot of that lately.” Perfection!
You’re right RL, that’s the original line haha. I cut it into two because the entire thing didn’t fit in the amount of space given.
I tried using “no” but as a result Leia’s line had to be pushed back. Way too squished. And this isn’t the “no” I would like anyways:

And I’m not sure why her voice sounds different. I’d imagine they would have been recorded around the same time as TFA.
I never realised how much of a gold mine of dialogue is in Lego: Star Wars the force awakens, especially since they got the actual cast to record stuff.
Absolutely haha. That reminds me, are they doing a similar thing for the upcoming Skywalker Saga Lego game?
Anyways, I wasn’t able to find a good instance of Rey saying “no” in the files surprisingly. So it would have to be taken from somewhere else unfortunately. I did find one but she sounds frustrated, which is contrasted with her monotone of the next line.
I’m sure there are plenty of examples of Rey saying no. In fact, I might as well look in the game files again lol.
Alright I got two options for Leia lines when Rey is messing with the bags. I put them both in the same video:
So the first one I like because Leia is basically saying that they have finished the training session for the day. And then Rey responds that actually she DIDN’T finish the course. Feels like a natural conversation.
The second one mostly would be there to let the viewer know who Rey is talking to before the camera reveals Leia.
