Would you possibly consider switching the opening scene “General Hugs” joke back to how it was in Hal’s version? I just compared the two and the prolonged “Hugs with an H? Skinny, pasty guy?” stuff still managed to get a little too cringey for my taste. Totally not as badly as in the theatrical version. But personally I liked Hal’s take more because we get the glimpse of the loading bar which already implies to us that Poe is stalling.

I wish editing was as simple as copy/paste so I could just blend the scene in myself. But I totally understand if you want to keep it the way it is. But yeah please, no need to touch Space Leia. Your version is fantastic at moment (in my opinion).

EDIT: Oopsies… I just read your explanation regarding the opening joke in the change list. I can respect us having quite different opinions on it, hehe. I just wish I had the know-how to blend in the more trimmed down version myself. 😃

EDIT 2: Wow! I also skipped through the Finn’s sacrifice sequence and it’s so perfect now. No Rose meddling, just him vs. The First Order. Awesome!
