Just thinking out loud, but I guess one could reinstate the first Canto Bight sequence as it was and still remove the fathier sequence. We would see the Cinderella kids, and later we would just assume the broom boy always had a rebel alliance ring. It might actually give Finn more of a motivation to see evil and not really be able to do anything about it directly, y’know?
Either way, I’m glad you enjoyed the edit for the most part. Are there any edits at present that you’ve found you enjoy as a more solid film overall?
