I’m still planning on using this restructure, or something close to it.

RogueLeader, are you suggesting this sequence?

-Poe arrives on the Finalizer, Finn is accosted by Phasma
-Rey’s day and finding of BB-8
-Poe is interrogated
-The Rescue
-Hux sends the squad to the wreckage
-Apocalypse TIEs
-Hux and Kylo bicker (work in progress)
-Finn awakens/sees Niima outpost
-Rey arrives at Niima with BB-8/Plutt bargains for the droid
-Finn arrives at Niima.

As you say, there would need to be a buffer of some kind between the interrogation and the rescue, and I don’t know what could go there. Poe waking up seems tailored to the interrogation scene, so I’m not sure if that would work.

I think part of the idea for the restructure was to give some indication of why Rey was being introduced. In the original she is introduced with only a cut from Finn to Rey, whereas the restructure places her introduction after Hux’s comment ‘Well, if it’s on Jakku we’ll soon have it.’ The focus swings back to Jakku here, and we see the person standing between the villains and their prize. I also think it would be neat to extend the shot of Hux to make time for a horizontal wipe to Rey in motion with the opening compartment door.
