Right after probe droid, the main soundtrack cuts off. So it’s just the Stormtroopers talking and their blasters shooting. Then there’s absolute silence as you enter AT-AT room.
Not in that video. Aside from the person whos strangely talking to himself breathes too hard on the microphone and the wind filter momentarily kicks in and ducks out the levels. Aside from the probe droid spiel I’ve heard worse elsewhere.

Around 5:30pm, there was a livestream of the ride and it featured many holding loops that were discussed here, but have yet to be recorded and seen on video. However 4 of them were recorded today! and I’ll detail the ones filmed in the following spoiler block:

  • At about 8:52 in the livestream, the RVs head to the escape pods, but the doors don’t open. They instead sit idle there while the soundtrack continues to play in the background. That’s pretty much it for this holding loop, you get an extended listen at the soundtrack!
  • After you go thru the whole drop sequence in the escape pod, you get to hear Fin scream and talk about the doors being shut and won’t open. What’s also neat about this is that R5 in still interacting with you the riders and Fin! How awesome and cool is that!! This goes on for a whole minute until the doors finally open, and Fin has an audio track of relief that you got out...which then leads into the usual “Nice job recruits...”
  • While inside the “tunnel”, the RVs stop once again. Because of this, Fin and the Resistance flight officer (I presume) go back and forth on why the transports have stopped moving. The officer suggests R5 is rebeling because he’s looking for some compensation! And once again R5 is interacting and squealing. R5 suggests some backup batteries and an oil bath and Fin agrees, but is dumbfounded to see R5 is not budging yet.
  • Once the RVs move and see the light/outdoors, Fin is now looking for Lt. Bek. He goes back and forth with the same Officer from the last holding loop of how there’s wreckage, more escape pods coming, etc. Another officer joins the hunt and communicates on the search efforts. There’s over 2 mins of extra dialogue here, after that just the soundtrack plays until you can finally go to unload and hear Lt. Bek again.

Here’s the livestream link, I suggest starting from 8:52 and watching it to the end to see all 4 holding loops in its entirety. ROTR continues to amaze me with all of its complexity and thought out contingencies. There’s about 5mins of extra dialogue here that was recorded and will barely be heard ever except for rare situations like this.
Kudos to the Imagineers!!
