What’s up with the structure of the Battle of Exegol? At ~1 hour 49 minutes, we see Finn and Jannah choose to stay on the Star Destroyer to fire the cannon at the bridge. They don’t appear again until ~2 hours - 10 minutes later, after the entire Ben/Rey team-up sequence, Rey’s Jedi telepathy, and Palpatine’s death - when they fire the gun. I get that the idea is to synchronise the big victory of both battles, but it’s no wonder that I lost track of what was going on in the theatre! I’m looking for ways to restructure it but I doubt I’ll spot any great insights that J.J. Abrams didn’t.
