i’ve just read your updated cutlist: seems good ! I wish you would cut more (slight comedic) things but I globaly agree with the list.

Any particular things you would like to see cut?

I checked my “perfect cutlist” on page 1 of your thread, and while I don’t agree with myself on a few things that I don’t mind anymore, I still think the following changes could improve TFA:

  • Cut Poe and Finn’s conversation after Finn says “Because it’s the right thing to do” [DigMod Edit]
  • Cut Finn’s “this is what we look like, some of us” lines [DigMod Edit]
  • Cut Finn and Rey’s excessive teenage celebration after they make it to space [DigMod Edit]
  • Cut the “14 parsecs” dialogues
  • Cut the cameo of the sphere Luke used in Episode IV
  • Cut Poe’s bull’s eye shots to free Han-Chewie-Finn [DigMod Edit] (not sure I doable seamlessly)
  • Cut Poe’s references to his jacket when talking to Finn [DigMod Edit, but keep the “you completed my mission” part of the dialogue]
  • Remove troopers walking away from Ren’s wrath after he discovers Rey is missing [DigMod Edit]
  • Trim Leia’s lines about good old times with Han “there was good moments” “pretty good”
  • Cut the “I’m in charge now !” part when Han and Finn encounter Phasma
  • Cut Finn’s Episode IV reference “Trash compactor”
  • Cut Snoke’s lines about Ren who needs to finish his training
  • Trim down the “puzzle map” scene so it get faster (it’s so obvious I don’t get why Poe needs to wait on BB8 request to give him/her the usb key)

(side note: Poe and Rey are in the very same shot ! Are you going to remove their “first” encounter in your TLJ edit ? 😃)
