I really liked this idea you previously had, darthrush. I think removing canto bight completely might hurt the film.
I’m thinking of doing this idea. What reasons do you have for why removing Canto Bight entirely would have a negative effect on the movie? I’m torn between these two options.
Besides the runtime, it gives a better sense of time and space to the rest of the movie, and develops Rose and her relationship with Finn. Plus just for the fun of it. What really hurt Canto Bight in the final cut is that it kills the pacing and the oversilliness, and if you stick to your original idea, you’d be dealing with both without hurting too much of the movie.
Edit: and the runtime.
