star wars - Yoda's dialogue in Rey's dream sequence


As the answer to this question explains, during Rey's "dream"1 in The Force Awakens, we hear Obi-Wan's voice saying:



Rey... these are your first steps.



The word "Rey" is a sample edited from Alec Guinness saying "afraid" in one of the OT films; the rest of the line was a recording of Ewan McGregor made specifically for The Force Awakens. I actually noticed the line when I saw the movie, and I immediately recognized the voice behind the "Rey" portion as that of Alec Guinness.



However, the scene in question is very jarring, fast-paced, disorienting, and confusing, so I had trouble taking in everything that was happening. In all the commotion and rapid-fire changes of scenery and action, I apparently missed another familiar voice.


According to this article, the dream sequence also features a brief vocal performance from Frank Oz as Yoda, but I totally missed it, and now I'm dying to know exactly what Yoda said.


What does Yoda say during Rey's dream?


Note: My question is related to this one about what Rey sees in her dream, but whereas that question focuses on the visuals, mine is directed at what she hears Yoda say.



1 I don't think "dream" is really an accurate description of what is happening, but I don't know what else to call it - "dream", "flashback", "vision", and "hallucination" each convey a bit of what is happening to Rey, but none of these words seem to describe the entirety of the experience in a satisfactory way; I have opted to use the word "dream" because it is as good as any of the other options, but I think it covers slightly more territory than any of the others do.



Answer




You can hear two words from Yoda, which I believe are "Its energy".


This is a snippet from the sentence "Its energy surrounds us and binds us" that Yoda uttered while training Luke on Dagobah in Empire Strikes Back.



This is what I heard when viewing The Force Awakens. During my second viewing of the film, I made a point of listening closely to sounds and words in the dream sequence.


I also checked the official novelization — neither Obi-Wan's nor Yoda's dialogue appears in the novel. That being said, I'm reasonably certain that Yoda said "Its energy".


This is consistent with the fact that Yoda's dialogue for The Force Awakens was excised from existing sound bites, as reported by numerous sources. For example:



Oz also recorded some lines for the movie, but the creative team opted to use dialogue featured in past films instead.

UPDATE: The use of the "Its energy..." sound bite that I heard has been confirmed here — thanks @WadCheber!


UPDATE: For completeness, here is the clip of the scene:

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
