^ Your explanation makes me think of ANH, when the Death Star destroys Alderaan. We never see anyone in Alderaan before it’s blown up. Yet, you still feel sad for all the life that was wiped away off the face of existence, in one fell swoop.
Sometimes less is more!
I thought of that too!
If the Kor Sella scene is reinserted, I do think we should keep the shots on Hosnian Prime, only to give that thread closure.
Yeah, I suppose it would be more acceptable if the deleted scene was reinserted. But still… I dunno. We’d know she was there, we don’t necessarily have to see her for it to make sense. I still think it might feel too weird coming right after Han’s death. But again, maybe that’s just me.
