I think you guys are overthinking the Rathtar scene. The biggest problem I have with it, is how over the top it is. While Finn getting grabbed by the tentacle is definitely one example of many in this scene, it’s fine on its own. The cut you did in 1st version was plenty.

Does it make Mary Sue look slick?
Yes.

Does that hurt the movie?
No.

As far as I can tell you got rid of the burps and farts and you gave the scene a better pace by cutting or trimming some shots. Honestly, other than those burps and farts I can’t actually tell you what’s missing. If that isn’t a sign of a well edited scene, than I don’t know what is.
