I think that’s taking that line at face value when it’s very clearly not literal, but delivered in a wry, amused fashion. Leia is not literally telling Rey that she shouldn’t underestimate BB-8’s abilities, nor is she repeating it on the skiff as if BB-8 has proven her wrong.

I get what you’re saying but to me it just seemed like a setup to a “cute” moment later on in the film.

@jkimm, If you cut it that heavy you’ll miss the “never underestimate a droid” line. If you use a cut away to bb8 you can still keep that line of dialogue.

I was actually going to suggest removing Rey saying that line to BB8 on the skiff during the chase scene too. Seems highly unlikely that she would doubt a droids ability.

Overall huge improvement to the original. Really love the ending with the chess scene and falcon flying off into the distance. Here are a few nitpicks that bug me:

9:35 - Cut Rey “ugh”.

27:07 - Remove “they fly now”.

55:40 - Trim stormtroopers “It’s good”, Rey “you’re relieved that we’re here”, stormtroopers “thank goodness your here” and “welcome guys”.

107:30 - Cut Goonie dagger. Majoras_wraths’s suggestion of adding Sith whispers is a great idea.

128:47 - Remove Luke saying “what are you doing?”

Removing the balloon Stormtrooper was nice, too. The quicksand scene needs a bit of smoother SFX to cover Finn’s muted line but otherwise good job.

Haha, balloon stormtroopers deflate when shot. Thanks for the input. I tried tweaking the sound around Finn sinking.

Just wanted to share a few scenes that I’ve made slight trims to. I know it’s all subjective but am curious to hear any feedback.

•Shortened Palpatine electrocuting himself. Seems like he would’ve stopped using force lightning after half of his face had been blown off. (using the amazing jedi ghost version by Jonh).

•Removed Kylo’s tie exploding after the mile long roll. The explosion definitely would have killed him.

•Removed stormtrooper finding dagger in Chewie’s bag after being captured. We saw Chewie take the dagger and can already assume that the First Order would find it on him.

•Removed flying stormtrooper whizzing around after being shot (too goofy). Finn doesn’t say there’s something he needs to tell Rey.

What do you think about cutting the star destroyers breaking through the ice? It’s as if the Emperor told everybody to hide until he gives the cue (like a surprise party).

•Kylo “What could you give me?”
•Emperor “Everything”
•Remove Emperor raising his hands and saying “a new empire”
•As the lightning is flashing, it cuts to the fleet of star destroyers already in the air.
•Emperor “The might of the Final Order will soon be ready…”
