Here’s the shuttle version without the TIE fighter escort. I think it will need the TIEs in the final version.

This is cool, I like it. I guess it makes more sense too, in many ways.
• It makes sense to have the TIE attack that Rey sees come as more of a surprise attack, it’s a bit weird to just have them approach slowly in plain sight. The attack would be more of a surprise to the audience as well.
• Also, Kylo coming alone or with a few TIEs approaching slowly and menacingly works for him as a character. Later on when Rey sees the castle being destroyed he just glides in slowly as well.
• The reactions of everyone on the ground works better as well, not panicking, just wondering and worrying. Perhaps especially how Han is now looking at his son, with that troubled expression.
• And of course it removes the continuity problem with the angle and direction of the attacking TIEs.
So I guess I’d like to try this concept next, without the intercutting, and see how it works with the score and everything.
