I can’t remember if I suggested this already, but something I’m planning on trying is cutting the Hux-Spy thing entirely. Tweak a few lines here and there, do some careful (but doable) edits in the Falcon on Fire scene, and just cut out the part where they’re re-captured on the destroyer. They rescue Chewie, bust out, and pop back up in the Falcon.

Sure it doesn’t give Hux much to do in the film (aka, the Rose Treatment), but I think it helps make Hux a more consistent character from the last two movies, and it helps correct a lot of pacing and tonal issues in the bargain. It’s a fairly radical change though, so I’ll understand if it won’t fit in Ascendant.

DZ, I think that would work well, but I’d still like to remove/replace the “Everything you need” line if possible. It just doesn’t carry the same weight to me.
