Would it make sense to try restructuring the end of Exegol?
- Palpatine lightings the ships
- Rey hears the voices and ghosts arrives
- Poe says this is our last chance we need to hit those cannons now
- Maybe use the quote from the trailer: “Let your death be the final word in the story of Skywalker” as it has more impact with Luke and Anakin being there
- Rey protects herself with the lightsaber
- Cut to Finn and Jannah blowing up the cruiser
- Poe’s happy because the command ship is destroyed
- Rose says Finn didn’t board the ship
- Rey takes down Palpatine and rocks smash everyone, Rey drops the lightsabers
- Cut to Finn getting on the Falcon and the Star Destroyer smashing into the planet
- Rey falls and “dies”
- Finn reacts
- Ben saves Rey
Not saying this is ideal but it does flow better when Rey dies immediately after the duel. It would just suck losing Finn’s reaction
