I’m also baffled as to why it didn’t cut things like…the Chewie eating a porg.
Because some people like that part?
It’s not exactly Jar Jar stepping in shit.
My ideal version would cut the final porg with the sad eyes but leave the part with the other 3.
I agree. A little humor in Star Wars is fine! But they tend to jump the shark more often than not, so I say keep the first part the porg eating scene, but lose the sad eyes.
Likewise, with Poe and Hux’s conversation at the beginning of the film, I’m fine with the “can he hear me banter,” it just needs to be shortened and lose the “your mom” joke.
