Finn & Rose escaping the Star Destroyer feels rather rushed. It’s just a little too fast and seems obvious that something was cut here. I’m not sure how to fix that exactly, but it’s just something I felt that needed mentioning.

I felt the same thing when I made my fan edit. I did a version where I cut the Phasma fight and when I watched the whole movie back it felt incomplete. Their escape was too quick, too easy and there was no closure or sense of any accomplishment. So I went back and added a shortened down version of the Phasma fight which cuts out the BB8 walker stuff. There’s a couple awkward edits, but the scene feels more complete.

All this is to say that there’s no perfect solution to this scene, but Poppasketti’s edit showcases some really great work and is probably the best I have yet to see. Except for my own of course 😉
