Hi Hal

Sorry to bring up an old request but since Nev nailed it in his edit and it can be seen in action, have you had or would you consider any re-evaluation on the ordering of scenes immediately after the Falcons jump to hyperspace following the Kanjaklub/Rathtar sequence.

Nev’s instincts on what follows matches my own.

That right after ‘inform the first order’ etc

In your cut you jump straight to the First order and the Han/Kylo reveal before Snoke scene before cutting back to the Falcon.

Nev’s cut continues the Falcon scenes…which makes so much more sense chronologically, helps the pacing and also gives some ‘real time’ for the messages about BB8 being in the possession of Han Solo some time to make it’s way and be digested by the top brass of the FO.

I know you had concerns that cutting from the Falcon jumping to hyperspace and then back to it would seem more jarring, but I think Nev’s approach demonstrates otherwise.

I LOVE your cut of TFA it’s my ‘go to’ but that one single editing choice is the ONLY one that doesn’t quite hit the mark.

I say this because normally you could logically assume there was a time jump between scenes…but when we return to the events on the falcon no ‘in story’ development has occurred so theres a chronological misstep.

As your guiding light for this project is just a gentle restructure, i personally feel it’s worth another look.

I respect your prerogative as the owner here, and if it hadn’t worked in Nev’s edit, I wouldn’t be re-asking the question.

So…i’ll leave it with you One last time with nothing but gratitude and respect for your work
