The latest edit for the Poe/Hux scene is an improvement from your prior one. I think there are really 2 schools of thought on this. 1.) Trim the humor down on it, especially if it makes knocks Hux down too much. or 2.) remove it all. Natedeug made a good edit which removes the whole conversation which Ridley linked to.

I do lean on the first one, more for the character portrayals between Hux and Poe. Hux is all about grand standing and using tech power and showy displays instead of sound military strategies. That is why he is all about the “grand” speeches and flexing muscles. That later is shown on why Hux did not want to have the TIE fighters out to escort the Dreadnaught … he wanted to show off it’s power.

Poe’s character is capable, but cocky. So by keeping some of his humor it stays true to his character, but it also shows his strategy.

Clearly the scene needs trimming, but I do think those elements have an importance.
