Your not alone on removing the solo Hux/Snoke scene Mala.
You’ve always been my favorite Darth aroud here, and you know it 😄
How kind of you. Here is the removal of the Hux/Snoke scene if you or Hal are interested, (https://vimeo.com/266610914)
Interesting and very well done, but wouldn’t it be better for continuity to keep the beginning part of the scene, “Snoke is making contact” and then cut to the Resistance fleet ?
(your take on it is anyway 1000% better than the ridiculous theatrical version)
