I’m watching the workprint now, and it occurs to me another reason it may be prudent to chop off the end of Kylo’s TIE cockpit rolling so it doesn’t literally explode.

Presumably, he has the Wayfinder inside. Considering how easily he crushed the Death Star Wayfinder, although I can believe he somehow survived this, I find it hard to believe that the Wayfinder survived all that jostling followed by literally exploding. Plus, the wreckage of the cockpit in the following shots looks relatively intact aside from being on fire, so it’d add some cohesion there too to cut the explosion.

Maybe there’s a way to include a brief shot of Kylo quickly grabbing the Wayfinder before the rolling/explosion so we can assume he protected it with his body and had it on him in the following shots?
