Well for me it would either be a drastic restructuring like I suggested above, or…

What you just proposed. A simple edit.

I think it would fix a huge majority of the movie’s most glaring problems, with the smallest amount of effort required.

I think Leia’s spacewalk is one of the biggest factors of people losing the plot in the theaters. It’s just so dumb…

I haven’t encountered a single person in my circle who liked it. Most either disliked it, or outright hated it.

I think this would be the quickest change anyone should do when starting an edit of this movie. Blow that piece of junk… OUT OF THE SKY!
