Was skimming through a copy of the TLJ novelization at a Barnes and Noble, I think I found out what a couple scenes are…
- “Rose and Finn Go Back to Where They Belong” is Finn dragging Rose back to the base on Crait, and her sorta waking up and pointing out that earlier in the movie she was the one dragging him.
- the “Rey and Chewie on the Falcon” scene is most likely a short snippet where they see all the walkers firing at Luke (although I don’t think they know it’s him), and they turn around or something.
Okay well with the digital release, the scenes are now out there (saw a few on twitter). Turns out my initial guess for that Rose and Finn scene was actually right (and ^this wasn’t). ^That is more or less the Rey and Chewie scene though.
As for the scene that everyone’s been waiting for - the Caretaker village - it’s really good, oddly enough the main issue is actually its placement. Takes place right after Rey’s second lesson*, which feels wrong (this, just as Rey and Luke seem to start getting along). But then, do you put it on the other side of the Fathier chase, right before Rey talks to Kylo and goes to the cave? Might be weird.
*it seems like it’s not the third lesson because it’s actually just a sort of continuation of the second. Presumably the third is simply untaught.
