Hate to keep harping on the simplicity thing, but I think TLJ is a great example of what I mean, not just because that’s what this is referencing. Johnson scripted that moment out from the start, he didn’t retrofit it like we are doing, and look what he came up with - three walkers, one Jedi. That’s all, nothing crazy. Just exactly what you need to get the point across. Generally the rule of thumb in editing is the less detail you have, the shorter it can be. I think we’ll find that even if you extend the shot, having too much going on will still be a lot to take in.
