Rey looking at R2. I think if you flip the shot of Rey the eyelines won’t work, right?
The eyelines actually work decently well, but I’ve found that the lighting is at issue. Most of the light seems to be coming from the large open space to the right when facing R2, and if I flip the shots of Rey the light is instead coming from her left. I think it will have to remain as it is.
Random thought: would the Kylo Searches the Falcon scene raise a potential plot hole (maybe this is the wrong word) where Kylo could’ve just hidden a tracking device on the Falcon and then be able to follow Rey to Ach-To, and then her and the rest of the Resistance when they escape Crait?
Maybe he didn’t have enough time to consider it in the scene, since he only stayed on it momentarily before moving on to the next thing. If those Snowtroopers stayed there guarding it and Chewbacca came back and killed them, maybe he made sure to check the ship for trackers after they got back to D’Qar (maybe them returning is how “the Resistance is exposed” in this version of events). I know I’m overthinking it but I figured it was worth thinking through.
Funny you should bring that up. I’ve actually considered that angle, and having some brief cutaway to the interior of the Falcon after it lands showing a new tracking device. But of course it would have to somehow be deactivated before Rey leaves for Luke’s island but not be detected since that would raise the issue of why the Resistance doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to leave. It would have to be something like the tracker shorting out after the Falcon lands on the base, but that is really convenient. I think it’s best to consider that Kylo assumed that Han and the gang wouldn’t be escaping and/or the Falcon was too badly damaged in the crash to fly.
