On that subject; I’ve never made any secret of my dislike of Phantom, but honestly, having seen it once back in ‘99 I’ve largely forgotten all of it. I saw a Solo review, maybe here, where someone said they knew it was him as soon as they heard his voice. Truth be told, I didn’t know he spoke in Phantom. He bothers me for what he represents much more than he does as a one dimensional hologram bad guy. She could have been talking to anyone. Maul felt like a Lucas-style gimmick to me.
If I ever get around to a light edit of this movie I’d like to make it so she’s just talking to some random boss and not Maul. I think it’s possible with the available footage but I’d have to see it again to be sure.
I also love my wife’s idea of overdubbing the voice with Snoke.
