Edwards oversaw all of the VFX as well as the ADR while Gilroy was conducting the reshoots. The fast that Edwards trusted Gilroy made for a seamless collaboration, which I think is seen onscreen.
The only "mistake" for lack of a better word, was hiring Abrams pal Giacchino to score the film after Desplat dropped out due the contract. I can think of many better alternatives and the score, IMO, was the weakest part of the film.

Yea I normally like Giacchino, but there we're parts of that score that sounded a lot like 'Lost' the tv series

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
