I loved the lightsaber drop scene. About the Canto Bight one, it looks like what you had described a while back in a post I quoted in another thread recently - your ideas for Canto Bight after your 2nd viewing. Am I correct?

Yes. My title post for the fanedit still has the scene order of a much more radically cut narrative but more and more I think it’s necessary to keep a trimmed version of the subplot since Finn does get some good characterization. DJ actually plays a key role in Finn’s development since he tries to convince how the war is worthless and such. Then he betrays them and you get a great, pivotal moment where Finn declares “Your wrong”. This is some key stuff that I feel should stay.

So my philosophy with the entire subplot is to maintain the elements that build Finn’s development and to cut everything else like animal cruelty, “rich people suck” and such. I’ll post a clip soon to illustrate this.
