I was re-going through my TFA edit, and I’m sure you could use a lot of those cockpit shots above Starkiller Base to help lengthen the despair before the fleet arrives.
That’s a good idea. If Hal’s edit of TFA left out some cockpit shots, they’d probably be perfect to repurpose.
You could likely just re-use them, similar to how Rogue One re-used some shots (and also used some previously unused shots). Changing the context of the shots, getting rid of the Starkiller-specific lines, and doing away with the TFA music should make it feel fresh.
