I honestly don’t know why you want to make Finn suck harder (hehe) with a lightsaber. What’s the point of him even having it if he can’t do anything with it? I sort of understand if you want to trim his fight with Kylo so it’s done immediately and you’re like oh shit, but if all you’ve seen of Finn with the lightsaber beforehand is him getting his ass handed to him by another stormtrooper, his defeat by Kylo is not surprising and doesn’t really say much for Kylo.

Note on color correction:

  • Be careful with the orange shift, the snow in particular is looking a little weird.
  • Since teal is such and integral color to the First Order interiors (and can’t be completely gotten rid of by small tweaks), by adding an orange tint you’ve essentially given those scenes (Rey in the base, Han and Kylo) a teal and orange grade. Looks cool, don’t know if that’s what you’re going for though.

Moving Hux’s speech and the Hosnian destruction is an interesting and actually pretty cool idea, but it kind of messes up the attack on the base. When do we learn that the base is a system killing weapon? Do we just show up at the Resistance base and suddenly everyone’s talking about it? One of the problems with the Starkiller base is it shows up late in the second half as sort of an underdeveloped subplot. Moving the speech and the weapon’s first use would not really help matters.

Only solution I can figure is if Starkiller base is mentioned in the crawl (and also maybe somehow tied into Luke’s disappearance, like Kylo doesn’t just want to find Luke he wants to destroy him and the planet he’s on, maybe it’s powerful in the force or something?).
