I’m with you for the most part.

I can’t recall the music that starts off the chase, so if that promotional clip’s audio can be used to replace repeated music, sure. I’d also like to briefly quote Duel of the Fates during the Death Star duel, as in one of the TV spots, and Across the Stars (as subtle as possible, subliminal even) during the kiss.

Leia certainly is awkward in this movie, but I’m not sure cutting that attempt at a gag would help. Hard to say right now for me.

Some have suggested moving the Han scene up to between Ben and Rey sending Leia, but I’m not sure Kylo’s performance afterward would match where his character would then be.

I would really love to get the full original Luke scene(s).
