Finally. I’m as happy with this as I’m ever going to be with the current audio sources, frankly, so now it’s up to group consensus to decide what they think of it.
We’re THIS close to the final product for this scene. I can feel it.
I agree though that the sound still doesn’t sound all that diegetic.
Thanks, Jason. Hopefully MR hasn’t gone far.

Really hate when misunderstandings boils over into bad blood and ends up with people leaving.
Ed, I really like that idea, man. I would advise maybe hashing It out some more just to make sure there aren’t anymore cracks and maybe attempting it (or having someone attempt it)
1. Walker sounds on Crait
This edit both masks out the First Order shuttle approaching the blast doors and adds the sounds of slowly approaching walkers and TIEs to the establishing shots with Leia. This better stitches up the disconnect between the approaching ships in the theatrical (Finn is already with the Resistance) and provides some quite evocative juxtaposition, Leia staring out into a tundra, the sounds of fascist machinery closing in:
Chills.
This is an interesting idea. But, I find the concept of a movie called Iron Man 2 where the main character dies halfway through to be extremely funny for some reason.
Ooh… I think this is a pretty interesting idea! I’d love to check it out when it’s finished.
I really want to end my TLJ edit by irising out on the group shot of the Resistance inside the Falcon, but the shot isn’t long enough to fit the music. It’s only a few seconds too short - I’ve seen people here extend shots using interpolation software, but I don’t have the technical know-how to do it myself; is there anyone who could give it a crack?
If you have Adobe Premiere, you can use the the Rate Stretch Tool (and it wouldn’t be too noticeable if it’s only a few seconds you need to extend it out.)
Aw, man… Hope everything’s ok with you krausfadr!
I’m gonna be the contrarian and say that I’m not super keen with “A Skywalker”. Honestly, I never really had a problem with her taking on the Skywalker name in a familial sense.
Hey, so I know there’s been a couple of ideas about using Voice AI replication software to get new lines out of people such as Kylo Ren or Luke.
Anyways, I just finished watching the new episode of Disney Gallery about the Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian and they talked about how they used this software called ReSpeecher to replicate Mark Hamill’s voice from back in the day for his new lines. Granted, they had raw audio files from the films to use. But, I think with stuff like the Lego Force Awakens game, we could get some good stuff for Kylo Ren at least.
Has anyone looked into possibly using this? I know on the website (here: https://www.respeecher.com/?hsLang=en) it says something about scheduling a demo or whatever. I’m not sure what kind of price it has but has anyone thought about maybe biting the bullet and looking into it?
And it’ll look even more out-of-place and terrible within the context of the movie.
No offense to the guys who worked on the video, but it completely clashes with the movie (even more than the work done in ‘97).
Exactly. That’s honestly my biggest problem with “Sc. 38”. It was an interesting experiment but I think it looks dookie and it’s almost always out of place in fan edits IMHO.
Well… Looks like the new “Sc. 38” is going to drop soon and that fan editors can have a field day putting it into their edits of ANH:
Sherlock, that is a GREAT idea. And it also adds another level to her looking shocked during that Hangar Scene. She’s stunned that Kylo is telling her that they will kill Palpatine together just as we’re stunned as well.
A shame this never came to fruition, because the breakdown in the OP sounds really promising. 😃
Yeah… 😦
I can’t wait. Selfishly, I’ve only seen TROS at the cinema the once when it first came out, and have resisted dipping back into it until the completion of this project.
Same here!
I haven’t even watched Version 1.0 for this exact same reason.
What does anyone here think of the second attempt at Luke’s line, “the birth of her son?”
Not gonna lie, man… The last couple of times I’ve listened to it, it just sounds like he’s giving a big Rick Sanchez-esque burp in the middle of the sentence.
I obviously want something like to this to work out but I’m not sure if it’s feasible at all now. I think our best bet is to just stick with “Leia sensed her son” or something like that. Getting rid of words rather than trying to add them.
I’d be very interested in getting a link for this as well.
The fact that they put Batman’s voice SFX onto Aquaman by accident shows this was kind of a rush job.
Not to get off topic but where does this happen in the film? I’ve tried looking it up but nothing comes up. I even looked under the Goofs section on IMDb and it didn’t have anything on there about this.
To add onto the aspect ratio debate, I think going 2.35 is not the way to go and it crops out things way too much IMO. If someone was going to crop it fit in more with the other film in Snyder’s trilogy, I would say just making it 1.85 is the best bet.
Ooh… I definitely would like to get a link to this. I used to love playing Enter the Matrix back in the day and it would be real neat to see the IRL footage intertwined with the Reloaded movie.
I’d love to get a copy of this!
So, did this edit ever get released?
Testing has previously said in this thread that he hasn’t actually watched TROS:Ascendant and that he has no plans to watch it. So, since he therefore isn’t affected by any of our suggestions for the edit, I don’t see a reason we should be affected by any of his.

Has a tentative cutlist been drawn up for this project yet?
I wouldn’t count on anything regarding TROS being worked on anytime soon, if ever. I began the thread when I was still working through potential ideas to salvage the film, but I’ve pretty much landed on the realization that it’s simply unsalvageable, even combined with TLJ into a sort of two-in-one summary cut.
Dang, I hate to hear that. Honestly, I really loved the idea you had for both this and TLJ. 😦
Very interesting. I think the black and white looks pretty gorgeous.
However, if I were to be super nitpick-y… Seeing that you said you were wanting to make it look like something akin to the Flash Gordon serials or Kurosawa’s B&W films, I feel like the color grading has a bit too much contrast. It makes it look more modern B&W rather than B&W from the 30s/50s. However, if you’re happy with it, I won’t complain!
Also, are you going to add grain onto the film? I’m just curious.
