It’s already clear in the actual movie Holdo believed there was a spy, as no one in the Resistance believes that hyperspace tracking even exists.
That’s nowhere in the text of the movie. But I believe it would be easy to contextualise events so that it unequivocally reads as such, rather than one of many post-facto surmises.
It’s called an inference. It does not have to be spelled out to you.
Yes. I’m suggesting making that inference, one of many possible interpretations of the text, into the actual text itself. Leia and Holdo never talk about spies, they talk about following orders and being heroes.
To return to the key topic: has anyone hunted for any useful audio from either Dern or Fisher? Or would I be the first to go looking for this specific purpose?
My point is that it isn’t necessary to spoon-feed inferences to the audience and would just across as… [shudders] pandering - it would be the equivalent of having Kylo Ren go up to the screen in TFA and tell the audience that his injury is the reason he lost to Rey. I feel it’d be very on-the-nose.
Apologies for taking so long to respond.
