^Very good. I retract my vote 😃

A new attempt at a climactic resolution, with bare bones audio as usual:

Password: Split Wing

With the moving of the Starkiller ignition, first time viewers may be wondering where the X-wings are as the base prepares to fire. In the original version the absence of the X-wings was justified because they arrive later and save the day, but in V1 they are MIA, and in fact they have allowed themselves to be drawn far away from the Oscillator.

Here I attempted to give them one last bombing run before the station fires. Some VFX of missiles could go a long way towards selling this part, and the placement in the Oscillator scene could change. I merely put it there because it was almost exactly 2 minutes from ignition.

After the unsuccessful bombing run, I think it would make sense to have the sound of bombs impacting the Oscillator as Kylo and Han converse. After the ignition the X-wings presumably retreat (Perhaps they think the Starkiller is a one-trick pony), which is where we find them when Chewie blows the charges. Poe decides to go back and finish their job.

The final X-wing run is the one I like the most, since it cuts the interior of the Oscillator entirely to give a moment of suspense where it isn’t clear if Poe survived.
