Oh! Can you cut Finn’s obvious crush on Rey? Is it possible?
We do lose that wonderful argument before Hux’s hero moment, but i think it can be lost.
This is something I’m definitely considering. I had hoped there might be a scene that fixed this on the BD (explaining how he wanted to tell her he had the Force), but since that doesn’t exist, and the storyline is only resolved through implication alone in the film, it might be better to ditch.
