Very well, I’ve removed the TIE shot. With that removed, I’ve had to return the Kylo/Hux bickering scene to later on.

Actually, it’s yet another case where a simpler edit may be more effective here, since the only real problem is the incompetence of the First Order. This could be solved by removing Hux’s line ‘Send a squad to the wreckage’. Now his final line in the scene is ‘They were going back for the droid’, and this allows for the implication that they will track Poe and/or Finn to BB-8. After all, in this new scene ordering Rey hasn’t arrived at Niima Outpost yet, so the First Order should still be in the dark about the droid’s whereabouts. Here’s the new order:

-Poe arrives on the Finalizer, Finn is accosted by Phasma
-Poe is interrogated
-Rey’s day and finding of BB-8
-The Rescue
-Hux learns the location of the crash
-Finn awakens/sees Niima outpost (I still like the dawn idea, but either way works now)
-Hux and Kylo bicker
-Rey arrives at Niima with BB-8/Plutt bargains for the droid
-Finn arrives at Niima.

I like this sequence since there’s a logic to the First Order’s moves. First they track Finn, then once he arrives at Niima Hux wants to destroy everything while Kylo wants the droid’s capture. Plutt’s capture attempt fails, so they resort to destruction.
