Fortunately for me, the removal of the Space Leia scene still works that edited way. We don’t know how she survived, you can conclude via force, luck, combination of both. On top of that, when the crew gathers together after the events (can’t think of her name without looking it up) announces that Leia was the only one that survived in the bridge … so it wouldn’t conflict with anything since she didn’t mention her flying force powers or anything like that.

Granted it may not be perfect, but for me it’s better than the Leia Poppins. (Though I can be jealous for viewers like you who are a-ok with it and don’t need to mess around with it Rogue;))

For the Finn & Rose Shuttle, Hal did not include the shuttle deleted scene. That would work, but I too would need to rewatch that deleted scene to make sure it is a “completed” scene. Some deleted scenes looked like they were compelted, but there are some unfinished touch ups to make it not quite the finished product.

The secret like you mentioned before, there HAS to be an inserted BB8 rolling around to make it work during the “run to the shuttle!” scene. I know I don’t have that skill!
