I don’t really care so much for the force shield. Rey’s a big girl and doesn’t need it. She’s standing in front of the men for a reason. Is Mace Windu up front with his bad motherfucker wallet? No.

Also, the whole final boss battle between Rey and Palpatine (as released in the theater) seemed a bit too dragonball-Z-ish for me and the shield just adds to that.

Leaving the shield in is better though because I can probably edit it out easily and then those who like it can use it for their edits.

I don’t know where jonh has been hiding but he’s another genius like poppasketti.
