I am removing force healing from my edit. So, Kylo dies on the death star after being stabbed by Rey. In other words, Ben is never redeemed. As a result, Rey cannot be healed by Ben, so she tragically dies after defeating the emperor.
Also, I am removing the entire McGuffin chase. Meaning Rey goes straight from Leia to the death star to find the wayfinder. Its an imperfect solution, but its workable, and it removes the worst parts of the movie IMO. It does a great deal to fast track Rey Nobody because it removes Ochi and the flashbacks about her parents.
This is probably much different from the direction other people are taking, but maybe it will spark some ideas.
I’m intrigued by how well this might work, though I don’t know how well eliminating the search for the Wayfinder stuff will work without cutting the movie down to less than 90 minutes…
