Many of these have already been discussed but here’s my list:

  1. New crawl that does not mention Palpatine by name or talking about the dead speaking.
  2. Cut lightspeed skipping.
  3. Continuity is off between Rey cutting down the last tree, BB8 watching Rey, and the tree having landed on BB8.
  4. Trim BB8 and C3PO dialogue after Finn says “we go together” to Rey about going to Pasana. It’s out of character for C3P0 to want to go on a mission. Also, remove him telling R2 that he’s his best friend.
  5. Cut Finn and Rose discussion about her having to study specs of old destroyers.
  6. Remove Stormtroopers dialogue as Kylo and Knights of Ren walk by. Instead they just look at each other.
  7. Have Rey tell the group that they “have to go” and cut to them running to steal the speeders.
  8. Cut goofy parts of chase such as “they fly now” and the flying stormtrooper whirling around after being hit.
  9. Cut stormtrooper holding up dagger before loading Chewie into the transport.
  10. Trim Babu Frick laughing after Zorri and Poe joke about not trusting each other.
  11. Trim Zorri Bliss dialogue (ex. I don’t believe you believe that).
  12. Trim some of C3P0’s silly lines after having memory wiped “I don’t know who this wookie is but this is madness”.
  13. Trim Poe saying “3P0, move your metal ass” and his reaction.
  14. Cut Finn yelling “Rey!!! Poe!!! Whooo!!!”
  15. Trim stormtroopers “It’s good” and “thank goodness your here”.
  16. Cut Goonie dagger
  17. Cut Jannah telling Finn there’s another skimmer and their attempt to go after Rey on the death star.
  18. Remove Maz explaining what Leia is about to do to stop Ben.
  19. Cut star destroyer blowing up Kijimi (remove all references of fleet ships having super weapons).
  20. Trim Luke saying “what are you doing?”
  21. Cut Luke and Leia training.
  22. Cut Luke raising Xwing out of the water. Either after Luke says “you have everything you need” or after Xwing is shown bubbling in the water.
  23. Have massive Rebel fleet come earlier in the battle (always happens at the last minute).
  24. Cut Poe giving up and apologizing to everyone.
  25. Remove Zorri “so long sky trash” Poe “who’s that flyer” Zorri “take a guess spice runner”.
  26. Somehow have the ‘ground crew’ wait for Poe and Jannah (remove them hanging on to the ship as it falls and the Falcon coming to the rescue).
  27. Cut star destroyers being defeated around the galaxy (Bespin, Endor, Jakuu).
  28. Cut Chewie receiving medal.
  29. Remove odd conversation between Jannah and Lando.
  30. Remove old lady asking “Rey who?”.

Would also love to incorporate some of this film into TLJ to help flesh out that story.
