I just realized that the (non-) reveal of Rey’s parents begs for more edits to TFA. The one that sticks out to me is Rey and BB-8’s exchange:

“Classified? Me too, big secret.”

Yeah, that line is insulting now. I’m sure other “hints” need to be cut back now too, I’d have to rewatch TFA again though.

I completely agree with you. You could argue that she was being sarcastic, though. But it might come off as more confusing now than sarcastic for some.

Is it feasable to do so while keeping the child of the Force of the ending ?

[Regarding removing the Fathier chase from the Canto Bight plotline].
I’ve thought about this as well. If you notice, the kids at the end are telling a story about Luke rather than the Resistance, so if kept the earlier scene where Finn sees the kids on the field, and cut the close up of the kid wearing the ring at the end, I think the scene would still work. It might make Rose & Finn’s plot feel more useless, though, now that they didn’t even spark some hope within the kids.

I don’t think completely removing the Canto Bight stuff is the right answer. Removing the Fathier chase and trimming it here and there is the most I think could be done without it feeling confusing, but I think I would need to see the concept tested to see if that would even be worth it.
