Blowing up planets completely falls flat for me after Alderaan. Did with TFA, and certainly did here.

Same, alderaan was important to Leia because it was her home so the audience could get behind that, but those planets in TFA and TROS? why the audience should care about those? what is worse that Zori didn’t care about kijimi either, nothing of value was lost to the audience or the characters when the planet exploded.

and Another idea for the edit

Would be possible to leave Chewie “dead” little longer? the reveal of him being alive was so close to his “death” that it felt dumb and cheap.
