While I’m not 100% sure about the chess scene, I think removing both it and Mustafar from the opening chunk of the movie makes it interminably fast. Mustafar lets us see Kylo’s been roving and searching to find Palpatine and lets us get settled in and curious by the time he finds him. Leaving Mustafar alone might make moving the chess scene feel less frenetic.

Ash, I imagined the shot of the TIE exiting hyperspace near Exogol as the easiest place to open from a crawl pan. And based on discussion the last couple pages, if one were to remove Mustafar there would be some fruit in also removing showing him with the Wayfinder, in that we see Kylo’s when Rey does. (And it’s less of a sense that Luke reminded Rey of something the audience feels she was already aware of, burning things wantonly.)
