RogueLeader, I had done the very same thing with the scene where Finn meets Leia, after concluding that mention of SKB would have to necessarily be removed. I agree this is the only way to handle the scene given our “Hosnian destruction post-Han death” goal.
Jack, I agree with RogueLeader about the logic behind seeing the TIEs coming in. I don’t think xxTelecine 7xx would mind if I posted his version of the Fx for that shot: https://youtu.be/2ic4AmaBZFE?t=8s
You can see the TIEs are coming in headlong from the distance, making logical sense to cut back to Rey, who has run far away, seeing them coming from overhead.
I think a good next step for that sequence would be to work on the audio side of things, finding suitable low-key music and foley. I looped some TIE sounds so it sounds like a distant swarm is coming, as I posted earlier.
