Speaking of, the dead speak! I have implemented the new solution to the Jakku restructure:

This tones down the interrogation dramatically, just keeping some of Poe’s memories as audio. With Leia’s voice in the mix, it feels appropriate to have Kylo retreat from this encounter and push his responsibilities onto Hux, then have his confession scene. The voices are admittedly still a work in progress, but hopefully it conveys the general idea.

My original idea was to split the prayer between this scene in Act 1 and again in Act 2, but the scene’s so short that anything less than its total length was too short. Thus, I’m cutting the Act 2 scene in favor of this one. The change created an issue where Kylo’s parentage would be revealed way too early, so I decided to make it seem like Kylo was praying to the Supreme Leader instead of Vader’s helmet, with the helmet merely being a part of this ritual. Since Kylo’s Vader worship was abandoned pretty quickly in TLJ (and we don’t speak of TROS), this doesn’t feel like a real loss. Also, TLJ implied that Snoke was actually able to influence Ben’s mind across a galaxy and can do this to Rey as well, so a prayer to Snoke feels more natural than praying to the evil mask of a man Ben knows to be redeemed.

Let me know what you think!
