Eh… I don’t really imagine removing it. It’s… fine. I buy JJ intended that to be gently hinted at in TFA, but TLJ dropped it without a trace. So… this might be a reasonable split of the difference. I’m glad they didn’t have him using telekinetic powers or anything, though. Just… feelings.
Apparently he originally was going to use the Force to help open that hatch on the Star Destroyer, but that was changed.
Wasn’t that the “JJ Cut” leak, on Saltier Than Crait? I’m pretty sure that leak has been thoroughly debunked.
By the way, what is your plan for the “I never told you” subplot? You’ve been kind of cryptic about it, and I’d like to get a clearer picture of what you’re planning.
