I’ve long had some larger plans for the Starlight Project, but I’ve kept them close to the vest for a while as I’ve debated about how I want it to play out. However, since The Last Jedi leans heavily into the mental connection between Kylo and Rey, I’m much more confident that these ideas will work in the broader context of this trilogy.

These biggest change is a greatly restructured Starkiller section with an expanded Interrogation scene, where the viewer is taken into the minds of Rey and Kylo. Here’s how I imagine the sequence of events:

Scenes at the Resistance Base (including Leia’s deleted scene).
Weapon Charging.
Resistance Battle Plans.
Han and Leia’s Farewell.
Rey’s Nightmare (Use cut section where Finn is almost eaten by a Rathtar, flashes of Han and the map, visions of the Falcon crashing on Starkiller Base, perhaps being destroyed in the process).
The Interrogation (Kylo sees Rey’s thoughts and investigates the crashed Falcon while discussing Han, then Rey invades Kylo’s mind. Ren’s prayer to Vader is revealed here in summary form, including unused shots of Kylo watching the Starkiller laser and ending with Vader’s helmet).
Snoke (include Hux and the location of the Resistance Base. The Starkiller has two targets in the final act).
Rey’s first escape attempt (ends with the trooper, unmoving, saying that he’ll tighten the restraints).
Han and company trek to the base (Rey’s distorted vision is all we see of their landing).
Hux is updated on the Starkiller charging.
Rey’s escape, and Kylo’s tantrum.
Han and company lower the shields.
Kylo senses Han.
Finn and Han discuss how to free Rey.
Rey quickly runs into Han and company.
