But if they’re ID’d on the planet it ruins Kylo getting the necklace. I welcome further work, but I wouldn’t count on using it. No offense, of course.
Ah, I see what you’re saying.
I think the only way to work out the logic would that you’d have to have either the stormtrooper or (disguised) Lando say something else.
They’re both masked with altered voices and have just a few lines a piece, so that makes it easier.
It would have to play out something like this:
- Rey: “We have to get to the Falcon. It’s Ren.”
- The group runs through the crowd.
- Stormtrooper: “What’s this commotion about? Who are you? Let’s see some ID/scan docs.”
- Masked Man (aka Lando) shoots the stormtrooper, then: “Follow me.”
- The group returns to Lando’s transport.
- Star Destroyer sequence.
Obviously, not something that needs to be included in this edit. But I do think it would help the pacing if it can be pulled off.
