3. Jump To Lightspeed

There's not a great deal to this one, as it shows the X-wings gathered at the Resistance base before flying off and making the jump to lightspeed. 

It does give us a brief close-up of a few different members of Poe Dameron's Black Squadron, including Greg Grunberg's Snap Wexley, who delivers a great line here: "Is there any other speed?" as things go all streamy.

Still, it doesn't add much apart from that, and given it's only around 17 seconds in length, quite easy to take out of the film without changing anything (and we do get a pretty cool X-wing lightspeed moment anyway), but let's be honest, it's always good to see X-wings in action, no matter how small the scene is.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
