Not a suggestion for V2, just an observation. I didn’t like the hangar scene in the theatrical cut. Before the explosion, they’re all at the same place, Phasma, Finn, Rose, the stormtroopers. After the explosion, Finn and Rose are at one place, and Phasma and her troopers are marching towards them in an orderly fashion from a completely different place. Poppasketti’s genius replacement solves that problem, gets rid of some ridiculous lines (“You’re a bug in the system!” “Let’s go, Chromedome!”) and a scene that is largely unneccessary for Finn’s character arc. In this version, he goes from telling DJ he’s wrong about war being just business to telling Rose they are going where they belong, fighting for the cause. (While, unbeknownst to him, being saved by Holdo’s sacrifice.)
