My current solution would be to change the crawl so that Snoke wants Leia alive. That way the safest route to capturing her would be to run the ship out of fuel.
This isn’t a bad idea. Though why would the TIEs target the bridge then if they knew Leia might be on it?
It would require some FX work, but instead of having having them chase the Resistance in real space, you could also have the Resistance jump from system to system. Each time they jump, the First Order eventually shows up again, guns blazing, forcing the Resistance to jump again. You could still have it be a race against the clock, they’ll still eventually run out of fuel, but the amount of fuel they start out with is different, and maybe this could solve some of the current issues with the chase.
I wonder where that shot that was on the trailer of Rey running with the ignited lightsaber would fit. After 2 viewing I’m pretty sure it’s not in the movie.
Youre right! It isn’t in the final movie. Apparently there was a scene where the caretaker village was in flames, and Rey is running toward the village. Not sure why it was on fire, or if it was a part of some vision.
I think it was mentioned on here before, but I believe there will be at least one deleted Luke and Rey scene on the DVD. This may or may not be related to this scene, though. Either way, I think this scene will definitely be one people will want to reinsert into the film.
