I love your idea of including the ‘Kylo searches the falcon’ scene. Do you have a sample of the work you’ve done on it and how you’re integrating it into your edit? What’s the sequencing of events like?

If you’re including the scene where he’s talking to the trooper in Starkiller Base and suddenly senses Han, then you should definitely remove his “Han Solo” line in the falcon since he already says it in the preceding scene.

I’m not ready to show the Kylo Falcon scene yet, but I’m working with XXTELECINE’s fix as a base and adding further improvements to the removal of the time code. The scene will be placed after the shot of the X-wings approaching Starkiller Base and end before the second shot with the X-wings in the clouds. This is probably how it was meant to be placed considering how the deleted scene ends with Kylo looking up at the X-wings.

I agree about removing the “Han Solo” line.

After watching Hal’s v3, I certainly am fine with all the changes you want to make in addition of Hal’s. The Han/Leia scenes are very… awkward (especially the scene when they mention Snoke, Luke and their son, with all the meta jokes “and don’t say the death star” and the non sense “that’s why I wanted Luke to train him” - I didn’t know there was more Jedi Masters after ROTJ to train new Jedi 😕 - ., I felt so embarrassed during this scene…).

However, I would suggest you to keep Ren’s “Grand father”. It’s nice to uderstand the relationship at this point of the movie.

Not sure how much I will change the Han/Leia scenes, but it’s possible that I will trim them a bit. I will consider keeping the “grandfather” line, but at this point I’m leaning toward removing it.
