Pryde was ultimately completely pointless. There was a hint of something interesting of him being a Sith cultist as he had that psychotic look in his eyes when contacting Palpatine.

Unfortunately that’s about as far as it goes. He’d have to be introduced back in TLJ or even TFA to have any interesting impact on the plot.

Maaaaaybe there might be a way of using other footage of the actor to create a weird Sith-worshipping scene, like using his dialogue over some robed imagery, but otherwise I’d almost say Pryde should be cut from the story in general. Hux can die with the crashing of the Star Destroyers easily.
