I thought there was a lot of cool stuff in there but way too much filler, so here's what I would do:

1. Include a shot in the bomber scene where you're looking down out of the bomb hatch toward the dreadnaut and the nearby planet is in view, to explain that the bombs fall because they're moving toward the planet (maybe I'm the only one but this bothered the hell out of me).

2. Kill Leia in space.

3. Rewrite the Rose/Finn thing. I kinda liked Rose's "innocent to a fault" personality, but the writing around her needs improvement. Exclude the "hey our friends are dying let's look through binoculars at the monster races and talk about how mean rich people are" scene. Come up with a better start than "I'm gonna tase you for trying to run away, then immediately we both come up with the idea to run away." Just have Finn get shot down and Rose goes to help him. She can still say her line. Maybe he's like "noooo forget me stop the cannon" and then she says it. The line was fine, it was just in a terrible context.

4. I actually kinda liked Admiral Pink but get rid of all the dumb mutiny crap. Just have her say "everyone evacuate" and then not get onboard, while everyone is like "nooooooo."

5. Have Luke hand the lightsaber back instead of tossing it over his shoulder. I get what they were trying to accomplish--the audience is disappointed with his reaction just like Rey is--but it was a bad way to accomplish it.

6. Maybe make Snoke just not have force mindreading powers instead of having the force mindreading powers that are... wrong for some reason. Alternatively, maybe in 9 he turns out to have known exactly what Kylo was doing but he was an illusion or he secretly pulled an Obi-wan "strike me down and blah blah" move or something.

7. We're left with a pretty short movie after cutting all the filler so probably combine it with 9 and just make the ST a two-parter (which isn't a trilogy anymore).
