That’s pretty interesting, even though I never disliked that scene the way it is originally shown.
I kinda like the fact that Luke is not a part of the high command, but that he comes and goes whenever he wants. It shows him as a different Jedi from the PT Order.
About the crawl… yeah, it doesn’t sound right. I agree. I wrote “allies” only because the word “friend” was alreay associated to Han. But I’ll change it.
