I have a feeling a lot of TFA edits are gonna have a bit of a continuity issue on their hands, as I’m sure they’re going to use the Leia “I don’t care” scene in TROS.
But how? Since the Republic has been turned into a planet-sized bowl of cocoa pebbles, they would have to change everything except that line.
It’s much more likely to me that they would use a scene that was shot but never released, like the one where Maz gives Leia the lightsaber.
Anyone interested in what they might be able to use could probably look to the novelization. I haven’t read it in a while so I don’t remember how much more fleshed out the Leia stuff was, but it certainly utilized some deleted moments. Considering how she specifically mentions the senate in that one scene it might be hard for them to use, but also, who knows. There’s definitely more deleted footage of her they didn’t give us, but I wouldn’t count out that they might repurpose and recontextualize the couple moments we got on the blu-rays.
