It seems to me that the shot is already a little dodgy since it’s just a zoomed in clip of what comes a second or two later. I’d rather go for a subtle reprise of the Sith whisper for a moment before Rey responds to Finn’s inserted question. More of a bunt, I guess.

Hmm…I see your point. Less is more, and all of that. Depending on what’s ultimately decided for the Endor Vision, we could structure it like this:

Pryde shoots Hux -> Wipe transition to (part of) the Endor Vision, with Finn’s voice “The Endor System? Are you sure?” over it this time (maybe a bit echo-y?). Then we hear him say “Rey?” (echo-y again) -> Hard cut to the panel exploding -> [Maybe do the added Rey reaction shot? I kind of like the idea that it explodes because she’s zoned out] -> Finn and Rey conversation -> Exterior shot of the Falcon in Hyperspace -> Poe cockpit scene -> Cut to Endor

And I love Burbin’s idea of including a “drop out of hyperspace” sound before they come into frame.

EDIT: I know you’re iffy about swapping the scenes, but I really don’t think we can cut to any sort of “Rey zoning out” scene midway through the sequence. I don’t know how it will flow at all, at least given the footage we have available.
