(SORT OF SPOILERS FOR SW:BLOODLINE MAYBE)

Having just finished reading Bloodline, I’ve only just realised it was Korrie who Leia sends to her vainful death…

It’s a shame they cut this scene.

J.J. prioritized ‘fan service’ over effectiveness.

What? I think this is proof of the opposite.

He wanted Leia to appear at a certain moment in the film, for maximum “nostalgia” effect. Thus, important scenes like this were left on the cutting room floor.

That being said, I think Leia’s introduction in the final cut is perfect, but we lost scenes that could have provided much needed context.

Technically part of Hux’s speech briefly covers the relationship between The New Republic and The Resistance but not everyone is going to pick up on that while no one could possibly be confused with that deleted scene. Plus it’s just a funny scene in general.
