^ Looking forward to it, RogueLeader!

Sherlock, I see what you mean about Lando. But I think removing him taking out the trooper makes his introduction feel very strange. I’d expect Poe to say, “Hey we gotta get to our ship who are you?”

I like the idea of moving Rey’s death forward, however, aside from the seemingly large task of musical score, I’d hate to break it apart from Finn’s reaction. With what you suggest I imagine chuckling that Finn is sensing he’s once again been put in the friend zone in favor of Kylo Ren. Like he’s saying “Oh no, not this guy again. Get away from her why don’tcha.”
