Since this thread is still open to discussion, can I throw out some ideas that have been rolling around in my head for a while?

-If the extended opening is released on Blu-Ray, I’d really like for you to insert it in the movie. It sounds like it fleshes out Kylo’s emotional state and the First Order power struggle more, rather than the context-free montage of Kylo killing people we got in the theatrical version.

-Some of Leia’s scenes deserve a slight trim. They clearly wrote the dialogue around the limited Leia footage they had, and it’s really awkward. The scene of Leia telling Snap to be more optimistic definitely needs to be cut. He wasn’t even being pessimistic, so the conversation makes no sense.

-This might seem arbitrary, but I’d really like to replace the audio in the beginning of the Fury Road chase scene with the audio from this promotional clip. The theatrical version replaces the music with tracked in music from Rey’s training montage, and the older music fits better in my opinion.

-If anything can be done to make Leia’s death less confusing, that would be welcome. She senses something in the Force, goes off to another room, says Kylo’s name, and then dies. Maybe you could intercut the Han vision scene with Leia’s death, to imply Leia created that vision to redeem Kylo?

I’m just grasping at straws here. I don’t have any concrete plan for editing this movie, and it seems like you don’t either, but there are some serious problems that need to be fixed in order for me to accept TROS as part of the saga.
