^ I think it looks pretty okay. Doesn’t stand up to tough scrutiny, but that shot in particular looks pretty sharp and good to my eyes.

Here’s a version I like a little better, including Wedge instead of the tail end of the shot, breaking up multiple shots of a bunch of ships and allowing the music not to be cut up.

I’m not sure if this has the same impact. While I was timing the audio for the Fleet voices, I kept getting chills at how the “For Skywalker!” shouts come in right after Poe and RIGHT on the high note of the music. This drawn-out shot doesn’t hit the same way. It’s definitely a cool shot visually, but it’s missing the Oomph we had before.
