Agree this mystery mission change is good, its a shame we don’t see Cassians intro scene in this edit as knowing he will kill in cold blood if ordered would make this reveal all the more tense.
I actually have started thinking of reinstating that scene just for that purpose. I don’t like the scene, but it might be required to help with the narrative of trust (I really like having that be the focus). It also makes the concepts of R1 support ANH. Trust leads to hope.
Sorry Hal, not meaning to hijack your thread.
