Just to be clear, I have no aversion to including the “Finn is Force sensitive” idea on its own; I just don’t see it as a “necessary” inclusion. It’s a fine idea, but a naff execution of it. So, like, the potential benefits of streamlining the Nav Tower gobbledygook are worth losing “I’m slightly Force sensitive” to me. But hey, if you want to keep Finn with his thing, that’s fine too. God knows he didn’t get anything else worthwhile in this film.

REYYYYYYYYYY

Thoughts though on the “Trapped for just a few minutes” line, and the “Leia Death March” clip?

If we’re throwing in things to consider that the community might be able to help with (ideas that have been thrown around before here and elsewhere)…

  • Adding lava to some of the Mustafar shots.
  • Change Rey’s line to “I will earn your FAMILY’S saber,” which just makes more sense on a few levels.
  • Add a line for Leia after saying “no” to Rey going on the mission. Something like “You’re not ready.” Scene feels a little awkward.
  • Add Finn saying to Jannah “We all have to fight” so it seems like he had some influence on her decision to join the resistance (paying forward his TLJ arc).
  • Change Luke’s line to “Leia sensed the BIRTH of her son,” which seems more fitting.
  • Give Rey a different outfit in the final scene, either all black or grey, or partially black or grey.
  • Recolor the saber burial cloth to be black and add a hole so it appears to be Ben’s sweater, so she’s burying things that belong to all three ghosts.

I’d definitely be willing to work on “Family saber” and “birth of her son,” but I couldn’t find any clips that matched. If someone can track down those audio clips, or can think of possible alternatives, we’d be in business.

Love the idea of recoloring Rey’s clothes.

I think Leia says “Be patient” earlier in the film, so that could work in theory. (“I have to go to Exegol!” “No, be patient…” “Nah, I’m going. Try and stop me!”) The quote may have to be massaged a bit to fit in seamlessly though.
