Han’s death redone https://vimeo.com/162194483 password tfa
I think on a technical basis you did a really great job. The transition into the Starkiller shots seemed to go well.
But in the end, the length of the Hosnian destruction really took away from the impact of Han’s death. Leia is now grieving over just an overwhelming amount of awfulness rather than Han himself. And by the time we get back to Chewie, that raw response he had is diminished immensely.
I’m not sure if this is something you can cut back and forth from to get back to Han’s situation more quickly. Or if you can just put the Hosnian destruction into another spot late in the movie like this in order to accomplish what you want.
