I wonder if it would be possible to have Pryde kill Hux on Palpatine’s orders? Like, Hux wants to keep the First Order and Final Order separate; but Pryde, acting on Palpy’s orders to “Come to me on Exegol,” stages a coup, kills Hux, and seizes control of the fleet.

It would help to distinguish the First Order and Final Order more for the audience, as they basically become one and the same by this point in the movie anyway; and it would also explain why Pryde doesn’t care about arresting or interrogating the traitor who leaked huge, classified information to their enemy. What did he tell them? Are they compromised? It’s not the biggest issue in the film, but it would help to alleviate Dumb Thing #55,602 in the script.

I’m just tossing out an idea; I can’t see a way it would be possible to do this without noticeably overdubbing lines and throwing off the lip sync.
