Hmm… you betrayed us, You traitor!

jk its actually a good idea

Haha. Thanks. I thought it would it was an okay idea, but I’m glad someone likes it. I know there’s been word around the campfire of doing extended cuts if the timecodes are removed, but I figured I would go away and reincorporate them as they are now.

Love the removal of Kylo Ren’s “Han Solo” line–a much needed cut.

Don’t you find that the “Finn will be fine” scene is super awkward, though? I guess maybe in context is feels a little less weird? Where in the film did you place it?

Also, while I love the scene itself, I actually think that the decision to remove the “Kylo Searches the Falcon” scene from the film’s final cut was the right one. I mean, would he really have left the Falcon intact? Wouldn’t he have destroyed or at least sabotaged it to prevent his enemies from being able to leave Starkiller Base? It just doesn’t make sense. Just my two cents. Thoughts?

I think the “Han Solo” line is cut because he says it on falcon in the deleted scene, which I think is a good scene to reinstate. But yes I agree that the “Finn will be Fine” scene is awkward.

I actually removed the “Han Solo” line from that scene for two reasons. 1) Because I think it’s awkward for him to keep to refer to his father in such a way after the reveal of his lineage, and 2) Because the line is repeated in the Falcon Search scene that I reinstated.

As for the “Finn Will Be Fine” Scene, I do think it’s an awkward scene by itself, but with the right context, it can work. I inserted the scene between Rey and Leia’s hug and R2’s reawakening.
