Score the fold lines first then cut them all out. You also don't need the cut all the V's in the tabs. You'll figure out which one can be cut straight & which ones need trimming.

And cutting everything at once makes me hate the world so that's why I do it like this

Handy tip about the V's i'm guessing the sharp corners need to be cut out completely and the wide corners don't

It's the peaks (outside/external corners) that need the V cutting & that will depend on the angle of the corner. It will make sense when you start glueing.

Re: Free starwars the force awakens pepakura files
You'll be amazed at how quick a good pair of scissors can be, especially with some music or a podcast going. After about 50+ peps I have settled on print, score all mountain fold lines, score valley folds by pricking a pin at each vertice then scoring from the non-printed side, cutting out each piece then cutting all the right sides of each 'V', then all of the left sides, folding, then gluing. I use interior quickset PVA - the really expensive stuff builders use, and each tab sets in seconds. Tried superglue and eventually settled on good quality PVA.
Just my thoughts. Have fun, that's the main thing.
