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.

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.

Alright I got two options for Leia lines when Rey is messing with the bags. I put them both in the same video:

https://youtu.be/StyzmM6L4Zs

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.

Hmmm good idea.

I can’t go back through the lines again right now to see if this is possible but I’m pretty sure this might be.

When Rey says she’s gonna run the training course, as Leia hands her the saber, Leia could say, “Good”, “Alright”, “Here”. I think a funny line would work nicely here, since Leia gives her a little smirk, but I’m not sure what could fit.

Looks like Hal actually removed Rey’s line about her running the training course. RIP.

Also I can’t seem to find a good source of “on” from the Lego files.

So here the scene is with “we have to keep…”. I feel like it needs the word “on” in order to work properly. Doesn’t help that her mouth clearly doesn’t move:

Something like what you recommended might work better Sherlock. Something short like “I know”. Anyways, here is the line from the above video if somebody thinks they can do better than me:

My issue with the Leia scene isn’t so much that she doesn’t say anything; there’s far too much on-the-nose, plot-driven dialogue as it is for my tastes (such as Maz’s lines in this very scene). I just take umbrage to the fact that she just hobbles away like some decrepit, old woman, only to die for reasons that are vague at best.

We’re talking about different scenes. I’m talking about the one where she tells Rey “no” about leaving for Exegol without saying anything after.

EDIT: Forgot to say that it doesn’t look like Leia says any good lines. I just looked through all of them thanks to Octorox.

Just got finished watching the new Justice League. Boy, let me just say, if this movie gets the same treatment in a few years, I will be one happy camper.

As for changing Rey’s clothes to black at the end, I feel like that kinda goes against her whole Skywalker name claiming at the end. Really pointless and distracting as a result. If she said she was “Rey Palpatine”, it would make sense lmao.

Also, I always felt that one scene with Leia was hella awkward. I agree something should go there. Are there some lines available for her from Lego The Force Awakens game?

The problem with this petition is that it’s based on the JJ cut nonsense. We have no evidence that JJ was forced to cut the movie down any more than any other movie has to be cut down for run time. The “Disney Star Wars is Dumb” source the petition links to is a repost of a post originally from /r/saltierthancrait, clearly intended to stir up controversy and almost certainly fabricated.

It’s like the QAnon thing - there’s a whole culture of Star Wars fans, and particularly YouTubers, who buy in to this enormous divide and conflict at Lucasfilm because of their supposed insiders, and are sure that any day now Joe Biden Kathleen Kennedy will be suddenly ousted or arrested or something. With Justice League, the BTS issues were well-known, obvious, and corroborated by the actors. The “JJ cut” idea is just a desperate attempt to apply that same concept to this movie, even though TROS didn’t bring in a second director for reshoots or anything similar.

My point is there’d probably be more of a chance of success with a straight forward petition to release the deleted scenes we know were shot, rather than bringing in unsubstantiated speculation and begging for a cut that doesn’t really exist.

Sorry, this isn’t anything to do with Ascendant.

I was merely sharing the most popular petition I found. No need to bring politics into this. I also found it strange how they linked that article, but I felt that wasn’t the main purpose of the petition. The purpose was for Disney to release a 3-hour cut of TROS, regardless of if JJ actually wants to or not. If you look at the Justice League petitions, one got a little over 100k signatures. I shared that one because it’s close.

You have to admit that, based upon the novel, it’s quite likely that a significant amount of content was removed. True, we don’t know how much of the extra content in the novel was filmed, but I’d be willing to wager a lot of it was. Not to mention the scenes they didn’t end up using due to rewrites.

EDIT: Should also clarify that the problem with asking for just the scenes to be released is that it wouldn’t have as much support, the effects wouldn’t be completed, and they would likely end up with the infamous timecode. Can’t imagine anyone here would be too happy to remove those damn things for all the scenes.

[Edit: Burbin, sorry, didn’t mean to post so quickly together. That looks nice!]

I like it as well.

Interestingly enough, they were at one point considering having Kylo’s cracks on his mask be gold (according to the documentary). I think this is a really nice nod to that.
