I think “Here” depends on the delivery, Hal. Like, if it’s a quizzical “Knights of Ren? Where? Here?” then yeah, it would be weird. But if it’s an awed, terrified “Oh my god, they’re here? Why are they here??” then I think it would work just fine.

That’s also why I think the initial “Knights of Ren” would benefit from being redubbed as well. So that becomes less a matter-of-fact, “Oh look, it’s ‘Kyle’s’ posse again,” and more of a disbelieving “Oh my god, the Knights of Ren are here? In the flesh??”

I like the “Here?” idea because it conveys that the Knights don’t often make appearances amongst the First Order, giving a small nod to their physical absence from the first two movies.

sade1212 - In one line, you perfectly expressed what I’ve been trying to say. Lol thank you!

EDIT: And also, since I don’t think I was very clear in explaining my Leia line idea, this is a very rough, quick example: https://streamable.com/wu6213

(Again, the double meaning here is that Leia originally assumes that when Ben is born, it means her journey is complete. But actually, it means that when Leia becomes one with the Force, Ben will be there to greet her. This interpretation also has the side effect of making Leia’s journey about Leia herself, instead of some other character.)
