I buy what JJ's saying about the Leia and Chewie scene, but the way it was staged didn't work.
Maybe it was in the cut scenes... But the way it stands now is one of the few issues I have with the flick.
what would have sold it, would have been to have seen more of Finn trying to help Chewie in that bunk after he was shot early on, then play it up later with Chewie bringing Fin into the falcon and into the same bunk, trying to help him.
Then when they land, Chewie does rush Fin out to that medical vehicle but then rode away with it and Fin. But after Chewie lays him on the medical vehicle thing, he sort of walks slowly behind it while Leia walks by without a glance. That's where it all falls apart.
If Chewie placed him down, some guy tried to pull Chewie away from Fin and Chewie just growled and got on the vehicle with him (like a friend getting in an ambulance), great! THEN have Leia come out and see Rey exiting the Falcon.
Leia and Rey didn't bother me at all. I don't need it spelled out for me, of course Leia knew her son kidnapped the girl that got Han back the Falcon. She knows who she is and that this would be a hard loss for her as well.
So really, it all comes down to that one awkward shot.... Chewie walking past Leia.
