Possible. What do we do about Rose’s injuries? I also like the kiss, I think we can utilize deleted scenes on the Star Destroyer to build up Finn and Rose’s relationship a bit more (supposedly there’s a scene where Finn tries to flatten Rose’s hair, a small character moment but I think it could be nice), but the “It’s not about who you hate, it’s about who you love” line needs to go. Finn asks her why she did that and she just kisses him without saying anything and passes out.

Oh, my plan was to cut everything showing Rose after the speeder run is done. It’s implied she is still with the resistance. Ooh, I thought of this idea just now as I’m writing but I really like it.

So here’s what would happen. Speeders are getting picked off left and right like how we see in the normal film. And before the last speeder gets shot, we see a shot of Rose looking afraid or something and then her speeder gets destroyed, cut to instant reaction of Finn, cut right to Poe saying they have to break off, and then cut right back to Finn saying “I won’t let them win” very passionately. So then his speeder run is an emotional response to avenging Rose.
