Hal, this could be used that way, although it wasn’t the intent! The plan is not to kill off Rose at all, but for her to be “hurt really bad,” as Finn says. I realize it seems near impossible for Rose to survive that tumbling crash, but I’m hoping those skimmers had great seatbelts and front/side impact airbags.

The sequence is:

Rose gets shot down
Finn gets shot down
Finn gets out of cockpit and yells “Rose.”
Kylo Ren, looking at destroyed door, orders the advance.
We next see Finn when he’s dragging Rose to base, telling others “Medpack! I need a Medpack! She’s hurt pretty bad.”
We see Rose still seemingly unconscious but stable on the Millenium Falcon.

This way Rose doesn’t just disappear after Finn’s suicide run until the Millenium Falcon (like in Version 1). She lives, but is very badly hurt.
