A few things I noticed from skimming the workprint…
Why did you decide not to include the “Luke has a Moment” deleted scene? It greatly improves his characterization early on in my opinion. A re-score could help it.
Why keep Finn & Rose’s kiss? There is ZERO romantic strings between the two beforehand and it still feels very out of place.
I intend on using Luke’s moment snippet, but I haven’t wrangled the source material together yet. But yes, that’s the one and only deleted scene I plan to use.
About Rose kissing Finn… I don’t know, but I feel like it’d be going too far to take that away. I don’t want to gut their plot to the point that it feels… like a fan edit. I’m going to stand by the existing movie by default, but I can hear out reasons why it would be a good move to make.
Thanks for previewing it, and I hope the ending didn’t make your eyes bleed!
