Impossible thought exercise:
If my version is what was literally projected in theaters… What do you think you would have made of the very brief excursion to Canto Bight, especially the abrupt landing and arrest scene? My hope was that it would blend in well with the other 10,000 times the film tries to subvert expectations at every turn and often multiple times within a sequence.
For my part, I would probably have laughed at how short Finn and Rose’s efforts were cut, inferring the sort of sardonic criticism of their plans that the film directs at Poe for his, and also to Luke, Rey, and other characters. I would likely have suspected that some material had been cut in the interest of time/pacing (since it is still a lengthy Star Wars movie), which would have bridged their escape from jail to being in hyperspace. Then the fathier stuff would be one of those “oh man why did they cut this stuff out” things that I would have relented with “oh I guess that makes sense in service to the movie as a whole.”

That was my intent, and it isn’t a slam dunk at all. But I felt if I were to do a fan edit at all, it had to eliminate the fathier chase completely.
