Haha, Hal! Hadn’t thought of that about jumping to hyperspace in atmosphere. I don’t remember where you stood on the lightspeed skipping scene (probably heavily trimming?) but didn’t they jump in and out of a few atmospheres in that scene?
(Although I guess that was an emergency… and damaged the ship)
Just remove the whole chase section. Characters can talk about it during that argument segment, but take out the whole thing after the ties “follow.” That way it leaves it up to the imagination on what that all meant since the execution was so … bad. So, so bad.
