Star Wars: The Last Jedi

[Tost]

Every now and then here at RiffTrax we like to feature an obscure little indie movie that went by unnoticed. Just to make sure everybody gets that we’re real film buffs, y’know? So, to that end, here’s an underappreciated gem known as Star Wars: The Last Jedi!
We’ve seen Star Wars movies with Luke Skywalker. We’ve seen Star Wars movies with weird space milk. But now, finally, we have a movie with Luke Skywalker drinking weird space milk straight from the teat of a… a something. His wife? It’s probably his wife. Hopefully they’ll get around to clearing up that relationship somewhere around Episode 52 or 53.
It’s got a scum-filled casino (NOT a scum-filled cantina, how dare you suggest it’s anything like a cantina). It’s got a flyboy making catastrophically bad decisions, but everybody is still okay with him because he’s cute. It’s got space-texting AND space-Skyping. But who are we kidding? You’ve seen this movie, maybe more than once. It’s time to see it again, the right way, the way Mon Mothma and the blessed St. Jek Tono Porkins would’ve wanted you to see it.
Many Bothans died laughing to bring you this riff. We’ve got Porgs on the grill, come on over and join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Star Wars: The Last Jedi!

This is my first time syncing. 
The effects in this movie are really loud, which makes some of the lines a little hard to hear at times. I adjusted the volumes to try to level it out as much as I could. 
So if you don't like it, too bad.

Way to go Eskimo!!!

If I don't like it you'll never know. Thanks!

Thanks for giving it a go.

For those who want a perfect rifftrax experience, this is not it. Nice source and sync is timed properly, but without ducking there are too many missed lines in the pew-pew and explosions. Too many for me, but for some it might be good enough!

Thanks again.

I completely disagree on the ducking. The riffs are supposed to play off of the movie not the other way around. When you basically mute the movie you take away from the movie, which takes you away from the experience as a whole.
I said the effects are super loud, but the dialog in the movie is not. Ducking would cause you to miss a lot of that dialog throughout the entire film.

Thank you very much, it's just fine with me, and btw for anyone who's interested, there are ways to easily make almost any sync job just fine. if you use VLC, under Audio Effects you will find a compressor, these are the settings you should try: RMS/peak 1.0, attack 1.5 ms, release 800 ms, threshold -30db, ratio 20:0:1, knee radius 1.0 db, and makeup gain 0 db. so in other words: all the way up, all the way down, all the way up, all the way down, all the way up, all the way down, and all the way down. this is how i watch everything btw, not just rifftrax, and for the record i went to school for audio production so i like to think i know what i'm talking about, especially as this is very elementary my dear watson. 

EDIT so you know what to expect, this will make everything "flat", so whispers will be the same volume as explosions. whatever you're watching will be much quieter, but then you turn up your computer's volume or your speakers. you can apply makeup gain if you wish, but i don't recommend this unless whatever you're watching has lossless audio - which if it's something you downloaded it almost definitely doesn't have -  because lossy media technically damages your ears if you violate dynamic threshold, however incrementally. i don't know about you guys but i don't live in a place where i can cause as big a racket as i want (apts in a city, etc), this is the perfect solution if you want to hear quiet dialogue but also don't want gunshots or explosions to be too loud, for either your ears' sakes or your neighbors'.

Thanks for the VLC settings info, enyalep. May the hair on your toes blah blah blah...

I have been wondering for a long time if there was a way to do something like this, but I could never really figure out what to search for to find the information, especially laid out this succinctly. Thanks a ton for this.

And thank you, OP, for the contribution.

Happy to help, my good chum! this particular sync isn't the greatest example but this technique has helped me through many a riff, and mad props to ANYONE syncing and contributing to our community because i sure as hell aint waiting half a day at a time for processing these video files with another audio track over them! also i thought this was a GREAT riff, very funny; one of my all-time favorite riffs is Revenge Of The Sith and this one easily competes with that.
