Then we have salacious crumb,
Aw, man. I really like him. Is he getting cut out?
He should get cut in half. A gruesome demise for that aggravating imp would be oh so satisfying.
The hate must flow, apparently.
I just noticed a potential issue in the escape from Jakku. After they go to hyperspace, Finn tells Rey that ‘we need to get out of this system’. Yet presumably they’ve already left the system, so Finn’s not making a lot of sense. I played around with some dialogue changes, but it’s probably better to just cut the line.
If people think it’s a problem, that is.
The wreckage line, despite my best attempts, simply doesn’t sound enough like something he would say, and unless someone else is able to salvage it, it won’t be getting any better.
When The Last Jedi arrives, we’ll have twice as much material for this sort of thing, so I bet we’ll be able to cobble something together. But he only says “The Republic” once that is usable, and more problematically he almost exclusively talks in the present or future tense.
There have been several such changes that have already made it in, I don’t see how this is anything but an improvement.
But Duracell, it’s FUN to have new creatures.
This is a much better version of the theme, count me in on wanting this as well!
I don’t think that the Gonk torture was intended to be humorous, but the scream sound effect is so silly that the whole thing feels absurd.
Very good!

This is a previous version that is much less manipulated, but sounds a lot more piecemeal as a result. If you’d like to work your magic on it and make it editworthy, that would be wonderful. 😃
Using Audacity for pitch shifting isn’t so great, apparently. Do you think you could try pitching it like that with your tools? You’ve got a better sound setup than I do anyway 😃

‘they found us’, pitched to more closely match the rest of the dialogue.
On the ‘supreme leader’ issue, it does provide a nice buffer into the scene, and it doesn’t preclude a previous conversation about the Republic; people sometimes call out to their interlocutor in the midst of conversation as a way of regaining their attention, and this is basically what the scene is trying to do with the audience.
- the gall of writing the line “A good question. For another time” for Maz Kanata
This line makes more sense in the context of TFA: Restructured.
Does it? I haven’t watched that yet.
I think so, since in that version they know the First Order’s coming and they’re short on time. But that’s neither here nor there.

Lady Bird: Less of a comedy and more of a documentary, since I know two parents who are exactly like this. Pretty good watch if you’re in the mood for a more indie experience.
The text of that link makes me anxious.
It’s the characters, our feelings for them are strong.

I use frame blend on all of the slowed shots, since the Optical Flow produces really poor results in Premiere, at least for me.
Although I’d prefer some acknowledgement from Hux about the Republic, I totally understand if it doesn’t make the cut. Onward!
It really is a lack of footage more than anything, I had to pull a shot from the deleted scenes just to cover the time. I am not sure that there’s another applicable shot in the deleted scenes to use.
The reason for the Hux line is that destroying the Republic seems to be his driving motivation, at least judging from his impassioned speech earlier. It seems very strange for him to have just achieved this goal and let it pass unmarked. Also, destroying the seat of the galactic government is a footnote in the original version, and this edit can barely elevate the Republic to the status of subplot, so I’m trying to take every opportunity to make it so. 😉
Here’s a tweaked version of Hux’s line with ‘Supreme Leader’:

And yes, the Hux ‘Fire!’ should be filtered in some way.
Nice to see it coming together!
Some notes:
Star Wars: Silent Serial Edition
Glad to see my idea for the final scene in action.
That’s one hell of a fanart!
Whaaaa?
Now that would be really cool!
