Kris, who knows? It may have actually been filmed but then cut. There is a great deal that was left on the 'cutting room floor', such as the backstory of Leia attempting to get the New Republic to fight the FO but failing to do so, splintered off with the Resistance. Supposedly, the characters seen in the 'destruction of the Repulbic's homeworld' scene included the new Chancellor (the bearded alien on the left) and one of Leia's compatriots (the woman in uniform.) So, a lot was trimmed out. Guess it depends on when it was cut whether or not there may ever be an extended 'uncut' version of the movie.
Must have been traumatic, though, since both Finn and Poe are initially unconscious after landing.
I still think a slightly larger crew shell would be necessary for the two-seater vs the single-seater.
