I like that idea, Sherlock, but I wonder if that’d be weird to actually have sequenced that way.

Scenes and scenes and planets have gone by, and Hux just now tells him “it was a coordinated incursion.”

I do like the idea of slowing down with an establishing shot after we settle in with Lando, and possibly at the end of that scene, with engines lighting up.

Oh yeah, it’s an idea more for my own edit, where I’m hoping to remove the Hux Spy stuff entirely. I was probably going to just remove Hux’s line there as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Either that, or just move the Pryde/Palpy conversation up to right after the Gang™ escape? I dunno. It’s not something I’m actively going to fight for in this edit either way.

And - this may sound blasphemous - but I actually don’t really like the establishing shot before the necklace scene? The scene is so quick that it basically feels like the film is cross cutting between Kylo’s ship and Lando’s sex dungeon. An establishing shot is usually reserved for a whole scene - does a cutaway warrant that? We’d basically be spending more time in the establishing shot than in the meat and potatoes of the scene.

Maybe it would feel better if it was moved to after Lando crossbows the trooper? They start walking away with Billy Dee’s body double, cut to Kylo’s ship; and then cut back to a slightly different location on Pasaana? Implying that they’ve been walking for a while to get away from the troopers.

Eh, I don’t really care. I’m working on an alternate workaround for the necklace scene anyway, so it doesn’t really matter to me.
