Dickens' editing ofSlumdog Millionaire has been discussed by several critics.[3][4] Peter Caranicas wrote, "'Slumdog' has a complex structure that interweaves three story strands into a single braid, yielding a rich, almost fugal narrative."[3] In May 2017, after over three months of shooting, Dickens was replaced as the editor of the filmSolo: A Star Wars Story, which was released in May 2018.[5]
