Another issue that’s become apparent on rewatch is small, but crucial. The moment where the Starkiller is falling apart around Rey before she is rescued by Chewie is brief in the Theatrical version but functional. In Restructured and in this project however, I’ve had to all but remove the moment, hamstringing the emotion of the scene.

My fix is to kill two birds with one stone and move the shot of the massive chasm opening up between Kylo and Rey, opting for a smaller crack in the ground to stop their fight. The big fissure now happens when the planet is more clearly doomed, and it has allowed me to go back in and fix the Restructured issue of a half-dozen time-stretched and glitchy shots where Rey is rescued:

What would really sell the moment would be to animate the chasm opening up in the wide shot of Rey and Finn in the forest, since here it remains just a dark, hardly visible smudge in the background.
