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.

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’:

With some reverb:

And yes, the Hux ‘Fire!’ should be filtered in some way.

Nice to see it coming together!

Some notes:

• I can still hear a bit of the old theme during Han’s Death.
• Poe’s look at the weapon firing could use a lot more red color correction.
• It would be good if the sound of the exploding planet could be extended to fade into the shot of Leia.
• Hux’s first line could definitely use a ‘Supreme Leader’ before it, perhaps beginning from the previous shot of the Oscillator.
• I’m sure the final shot of Hux won’t be so small going forward 😉

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!

The bombastic music was written to weave through the lines about the damaged Oscillator. Putting that over the Snoke scene makes some parts difficult to understand over the music, since the quiet moments do not sync to the dialogue. This is what ultimately disqualifies it for me, even though it’s a better thematic match.

Maybe someone could try and weave the audio and video together in a way that they compliment each other.

Yeah, that was really odd.

Thanks for the game rips, btw. Hux is more of a character there than in the movie!

Yeah, there’s a literal ton of information that we’re not aware of. For example, Trump’s tax returns, which he is deathly afraid to make public for some reason. Trump has a long history of shady real estate deals with Russian oligarchs, for another. Of course there’s the obstruction of justice charge, which in a normal presidency would be enough to topple him all by itself. And unless Trump is even more stupid than we have been led to believe, he would not have risked obstruction of justice unless he did do something pretty damn illegal.
