One thing from DOTF that is sorely missing from TROS is a real stormtrooper uprising. Sure, you have Finn and some other ex-stormtroopers riding space horses on a Star Destroyer’s surface - but that’s literally it.
What I think would be great is if when the navigation tower is changed to the lead Star Destroyer, Finn tells everyone that it is carrying the signal (by using the force), but then still has some people do the ground assault. Why you may ask? Because he has the bright idea that he can broadcast his own signal from the tower: an inspirational speech to get any First Order stormtroopers that were assigned with Pryde on Exegol to turn against the Sith Troopers.
It would have been so cool to see white stormtroopers battling side by side with Resistance members against red ones.
The red ones, in case you didn’t know, were born and raised on Exegol and brainwashed. The troops like Finn have hope because they were taken as children.
Those First Order stormtroopers would most likely be present on Pryde’s ship - which is carrying the signal. All the more reason why Finn doing that would be super helpful.
That’s a good idea and a really good way of incorporating it. I’ll go over the DOTF screenplay again (I skimmed most of it) and see if I can poach sections to avoid writing new content wholesale. Not every single stormtrooper needs to change sides, but maybe the ones that do remove their helmets so they can be identified - which has the thematic connotation of exchanging their faceless skeletal masks for actual human faces.
