Since we have already changed some 3PO lines and cut out the reference to R2 having his memory backed up, I wanted to go ahead and see if it would be possible to not have R2 reupload 3PO’s memories at all. This is what I came up with.

I think the first scene, where 3PO meets R2 again, could be moved to before the scenes with Rey on Ach-To. That way it feels like R2 and 3PO have been speaking for awhile, and we catch back up with them in the middle of a conversation. I also slightly changed 3PO’s lines regarding the transmission to make him speak more objectively, since he may not have been caught up on who Luke is yet. It might not be right for Ascendant, but I thought I’d go ahead and share it.

RogueLeader, I love it. Making Threepio’s sacrifice permanent makes it all the more poingnant. Brings his character full circle, imo. Beautiful.

Hey that’s not bad, if that’s the line!

Yessir, complete with a suitably condescending C-3PO and a snarling Wookiee. 😃

If the droids can be in the chess scene, all the better. Maybe an alternate delivery of the famous line (from the radio drama or something) could end the interior portion with, “Let the Wookiee win.”

(Eh, maybe not.)

“He made a fair move, Chewbacca. If you fell for it, then that’s your fault!” might be a good Threepio line to include in there, as Chewie rages on (from the radio drama).

It’s a lot of audio to review, but the Star Wars Radio Dramas might be a good resource for some audio clips. Lots of music and sound effects, but there is relatively clean dialogue of Anthony Daniels and Mark Hamil in parts, delivering lines that weren’t in the movies. There may also be some End Credits transition music at the ends of some of the episodes that might be useful. There are unedited versions of the radio dramas on YouTube.

Maybe Threepio’s dialogue could be altered so that he says “a Master Luke” instead of “Master Luke”?
