I sure hope so, too. It’s hard for me to consider moving the Han scene only because I don’t have a good map of the movie in my head or in front of me. But, I do recall really liking the fade of Chewie’s mourning into Ben’s scene.
That part plays out as:
- Rey fights her evil self, then Kylo shows up to break the wayfinder.
- Resistance base where Leia walks off and Maz says she knows what to do.
- Rey and Kylo fight (with Finn showing up and being kept at a distance).
- Leia lies down to die, “Ben”.
- Kylo drops his saber and Rey stabs him.
- Leia’s hand drops.
- Rey senses Leia’s death.
- R2 is sad at Leia’s death.
- Rey heals Kylo and runs away to steal his ship.
- everyone at the base is sad that Leia died.
- the heroes return on the Falcon and Chewie has his breakdown moment.
- Kylo and Han have their chat, then he throws his saber away.
- Palpatine FaceTimes General Pryde.
- Star Destroyer blows up planet.
- Poe gets told about that and they all worry about planet killer weapons.
- Poe has a chat with dead Leia and Lando.
- D-O has a chat with Finn.
- Poe promotes Finn and they chat.
- Rey throwing kindling onto the burning ship.
Just in case it is useful with planning.
Personally I want to see if Han and Kylo’s chat can be inserted right after Leia says “Ben”, to suggest she is force projecting the memory at Ben to really push him to remember his light side. There’s a good shot of Ben pausing and turning, but until it is released it’s hard to know how doable it’d be. Ideally I’d then end that chat before the lightsaber throw, and use that part between scenes after Rey stole his ship to suggest he’d been thinking for a while (possibly even have him seeing flashbacks of stabbing Han) and then he decides to throw the saber. Just my own head edit.
