Let’s see. I tried removing the line “I’m the spy” and personally found it sort of abrupt. The scene is pretty darn abrupt to begin with, and that’s a non-fan-editing-friendly aspect to the whole movie. It’s a dumb line, sure, but… I guess I feel it’s better to leave it in and prevent it from feeling super rushed. I don’t particularly care for Poe’s SNL response, but it was the same story. I could imagine the camera holding longer on Hux after he says “We don’t have much time” followed by a slight musical sting before cutting away. I dunno, perhaps stretching the shot might not be terrible. (Nevermind. Just checked and there are NO extra frames on that shot at all.)

I never had an issue with the Kijimi dialogue. MR did a good job with the scene for his purposes, but I don’t really care to remove the backstory to Poe that is communicated. And I’ve been talked out of removing the “Not that you care but I think you’re okay” line twice.

I assume that the continuity error is just that, and they perhaps hadn’t figured out what they wanted to do with the saber while filming. I suspect the real reason is that they wanted to make use of as much Leia footage as they had, and receiving and handing sabers is what they had. This doesn’t really bother me; it’s a technical error, but not a thematic one.
