First, Jonh, that’s already a huge improvement on Luke’s hair. Just toning it down was nice. Very good.
As for Hal’s comment about the Falcon … I get what you mean by that now that your brought that point up.
Would having it just go towards one of the suns until it fades away work? Then the ending shot are the twin suns?
EDIT: Also to bring up some of your points Hal with your goals for both edits, as for this point:
The hangar (“You’re his granddaughter.” This one needs to have something dramatic enough not to feel hollow)
Depending on how much tweaking to do with ability to do, timing, etc that still has some kind of impact … could the line simply be “You’re his legacy”?
