I haven’t gone through the entire DOTF script yet, but I have to say I really loved the opening scene of the film. I liked the description of the hangar closing in around the star field, BB-8 “deep undercover”, Rose actually doing something, seeing migrant workers and life under First Order rule, Kuat drive yards, seeing people react to Rey, them stealing a Star Destroyer. It would’ve made for a far more swashbuckling opening than the one we got.

I actually think this scene could be adapted to canon as a comic. This easily could be a mission the gang goes on in between TLJ and TROS, and them destroying their shipyards would explain why the First Order would be desperate to acquire the Sith Fleet.

Another thing I liked about it was that I feel it ties in nicely with the Canto Bight stuff from TLJ. It highlights how war is a business for some people, and that greed can perpetuate conflict for profit. So having the Resistance try to destroy Kuat shipyards is a way for them to target that problem. Hit them where it really hurts. That was another thing I felt was lacking from TROS. Fan edit wise, I think creating a shot of the Kuat drive yards being destroyed as part of the ending montage would be a loose, but nice way to tie into that plot point, as well as be sort of an homage to this script.
