Even when I first saw the movie, I thought that the journey to Luke should have been longer. After all, the map shows a lot of twists and turns, so I imagine there would be some obstacles and pit stops on the way to that remote island. With that in mind, here’s a very rough idea of how this could be implemented:

Password: reyThere’s not nearly enough footage for this to be feasible yet, but perhaps by the time this trilogy is over I can revisit the idea 😉
I know it’s been awhile since you posted this but I’m really in love with this idea. I think it has a very adventurous feel to it and I think it would be a fun addition. It definitely would feel more like a journey.
I do know that there are one or two more Falcon in hyperspace shots that could be used now from TLJ, but I wonder if for some of the other shots could be made by either making some CG space environments, or even using some high quality images from Hubble, Cassini, etc. as the background and then inserting a blender model of the TFA Falcon flying through them. I know there are some pretty decent models, like this one: https://sketchfab.com/models/798f0d3be4524c8c86b77a52a88570f8
