I’d be okay with removing the confession thing as long as it’s reference underneath the sand can be handled in a way that is not jarring. Cutting abruptly to Poe leading the way with the flashlight is.
If you cut just after Rey ignites her saber and then go straight to Poe and 3PO talking about the tunnels it takes out that whole “What was you going to tell me…?” line
Interested to see what Poppasketti did with Klaud. nice work 😃
