Hi HAL,
Personally I’d vote to leave the holochess alone.
Fan service or not, it’s a nice call back and it doesn’t impact on the movie in any negative way.
In my opinion the strength of your edit’s is in not being overly brutal and only cutting or restructuring areas where there are narrative weakness’s or more effective means of strengthening or clarifying plot points or contrivances.
I would argue that when it comes to holochess existing within the movie, there wouldn’t be any significant benefit to the outcome or pacing of the scene to warrant it’s removal…at least not in my opinion based on my interpretaion of your vision for this particular project (which is to gently restructure rather than look at ways to cut it to the bare bone?)
In it’s current form TFA:AGR is my go to version of this movie and as per the above: even if you did remove holochess, that wouldn’t change my opinion on the larger body of work, so I’ll respect your decision either way.
My advice would be to just go with your gut on what you feel suits your vision best.
