  • Remove the silly mugshot of Hux after commenting on Poe’s X-wing approaching

That moment never bugged me, but I understand why people want to remove it.

  • Remove Rey interpreting Chewbacca to Luke (He just responds with “The Falcon?”)

I’d prefer if that scene stayed the way it is. Removing that bit creates makes the scene feel weird.

  • Remove Luke’s quip about Jakku being “pretty much nowhere” (the new movies are somewhat snarky in ways the OT never was IMHO, and so I’d rather keep Luke away from that - humor, but not gags)

Good idea. I never really liked that joke. Jakku was the site of the final battle between the Rebellion and the Empire, it isn’t “pretty much nowhere.”

  • Remove Rose responding to Finn’s “MTFBWY” with “you too.”

Another good idea. Rose fangirling over Finn is one of my biggest gripes with that subplot.

  • Tighten up Finn and Rose’s reaction to Maz’s “Oh yes, he can” for better timing

I’d prefer if the joke was cut completely. Double entendres aren’t part of the OT’s style of humor.

  • Reinstate a trimmed version of the balcony scene overlooking kids and horses being beaten on Canto Bight

I’d really like this. The lack of political context is one of the sequels’ weak points, so it’s good to have at least some backstory for how the First Order rose to power.

  • Reinstate Rey asking Kylo Ren if he has a cowl to put on

I’d prefer if that line was cut. I’ve never been a fan of Rey and Kylo’s relationship, so I’d like to downplay it as much as possible.
