Cut Moff Gideon survival reveal scene and added as post credits scene.
doesn’t this sort of blow the whole “classic Star Wars” vibe you’re going for all by itself?
It seems sort of jarring to adhere so strongly to main saga convention and then make a Marvel gimmick the last thing anyone sees.
Not at all. It’s removal means that the end scene is Much more like a classical Star was movie with a long, music driven closing scene. I was originally intending to cut it completely. Putting it at the end is just a way of keeping it in the movie In some form. When I view it I’ll be ignoring it.
I would cut it completely or move it earlier. The post-credit scene is just too un-Star Wars. You could put it immediately after he crashes, or just not have it. To me, it’s nice to know the villain survived, which is pretty classic Star Wars. Just move it before the scene with the heroes and music swelling. Or let him pop up, miraculously surviving, in the next movie for season two without that scene.
