Excellent ideas!! I’ll start toying around with those :>

I feel like I don’t want to have the planet explode at the end, just the ‘First Order Base’ part of it? idk lol. Part of the victory at the end is that that base is no longer usable for the First Order

So! The movie is: The Resistance, fearing the rise of the First Order, seeks Luke Skywalker who they believe will save the day. The First Order manages to destroy the Senate of the New Republic, effectively cutting the head off of any outside help the Resistance could rely on. However, our heroes manage to locate Skywalker, leading to new hope, the end!

I want to start working on a crawl that could help hammer home that the Resistance has these two goals
