Just looked at what I came up with for restructuring the 60-80 minute chunk of my edit. I like what I’ve come up with, but I may need to watch the edit in full again to ensure that it works as a whole. For now, I’ll post what I’ve done so far.

Here’s how the scenes were structured in the theatrical film:

Han and Leia meet again
Introduction to the Resistance
Chewie talking to the doctor
The incomplete map
BB-8 meets R2
Han and Leia talk about Ben
Kylo interrogates Rey
Kylo talks with Snoke
Rey escapes
Starkiller Base begins charging
Finn tells the Resistance about the base
The Resistance prepares for battle
Han and Leia say goodbye
The First Order searches for Rey
Han lands the Falcon

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Kylo interrogates Rey (minus the part where Rey resists Kylo, making this scene much darker)
Starkiller Base begins charging
Han and Leia meet again
Introduction to the Resistance
The incomplete map
BB-8 meets R2
Han and Leia talk about Ben
Finn tells the Resistance about the base
The Resistance prepares for attack
Han and Leia say goodbye
Rey escapes
Han lands the Falcon

If I come up with any improvements to this sequence, I’ll post an update. If you have an interesting suggestion, feel free to post it here.
