I wanted to pop in and mention the Finn crash scene and how I’m handling it.

In my version, Rose and Poe warn Finn to get away from the laser, but he continues with it. We get a last shot of Rose looking back at Finn in terror, presumably feeling like Finn is doomed and that she can’t do anything.

Finn gets shot away, Poe slides back, then we see Finn climb out.

Later on we see Finn drag an injured Soilder into the base. I cut this shot short before it zooms up too close onto Rose. Now it is assumed that he is carrying simply an injured Soilder.

I do understand Rose’s absence since this would require cutting her on the stretcher in the Falcon as well but right now that is how I am approaching it.

I do like everyone’s ideas about showing Rose getting shot down though. And depending on episode 9, you could just have Rose die, makes Finn more motivated to do suicide run, and then cut her on the Falcon. This is assuming Rose is relatively unimportant in Ep 9 and can be cut. Just a crazy idea to throw out there.
