Thanks for those Hux clips, Jar Jar! I can’t wait to start looking through them.
I think this is something I’ve talked about way back in this thread.
It would take a bit of FX work, but if you wanted to have Hux live until the end, these are a few changes I think you could make:
Cut his death scene.
Replace Pryde with Hux when he speaks to Palpatine’s hologram.
Use footage from TLJ to have Hux be on the bridge of the Star Destroyer during the final battle, and have Hux be the one that dies looking out the bridge while it blows up.
RogueLeader, are you secretly a Hollywood script doctor or something? That’s a great angle too. I wonder if you even need to VFX the hologram scene. Just make it into a audio recording over some shot of Hux brooding, ideally a clip of him saying “Yes, Supreme Leader”; and then maybe some careful cuts could convey that Hux is on the ship on Exegol.
