While I’m already talking about “fixing” fixes that everyone’s already happy with:

the fixed ending has always sort of bugged me in that with a single cut the sunset goes from two suns stacked on top of each other (to mimick BB-8 in the frame, I’m sure) to the two sons separated (where the original intent is to have Rey and BB-8 silhouetted against them).

But I think there’s a way to fix that problem that gets rid of that jump cut, and also gets rid of the weird back-and-forth with the anonymous woman who shows up out of nowhere and prompts the “what’s your name” thing, while still using the Luke & Leia force ghosts.

HOW ABOUT THIS:

Rey buries the sabers, ignites her own, and gets up.

Instead of cutting to the old woman, cut to the shot of BB-8 against the sunset, with Rey’s feet walking left to right.

then cut to the empty desert, with the sounds of the falcon going through liftoff prep in the background, as Luke & Leia’s ghosts slowly fade in

Cut to the binary sunset, only now the silhouettes are barely-translucent ghostly shapes of Luke & Leia’s backs as they watch the Falcon leave the planet. Iris out
