Maybe something like this could fill that gap instead. The one thing I like about this idea is that it doesn’t really take away from the Death Star II’s iconic silhouette, and instead it could actually add to its ‘incomplete’ look, as well as differentiate it more from the first Death Star’s design.
Yeah, exactly.
Are you wanting to remove Luke’s hologram in order to save our first look at him for when he actually appears later in the film?
Yeah, exactly. Truly a baffling decision to make up such a big reveal but completely undercut it.
