I actually went back and watched the scene of Leia pulling herself back to the Raddus, and I honestly think it is gonna well. I still don’t think it looks bad, and the idea of her looking like Mary Poppins make zero sense to me. Glad you’re keeping it. I mean, this is the novel anyway, so people can imagine it however they want.

Regarding the spy stuff, you wouldn’t need Holdo, D’Arcy or any of the top people suggest that they’re might be a spy. Maybe during the briefing, there could be rumblings amongst the crew wondering if there is a spy. Basically, people on the ship are paranoid, and think that could be a possibility.

Because of that, Holdo could be cautious about letting information leak, so she could tell Poe that it is a “need-to-know” plan, and he doesn’t need to know. And when Finn and Rose tell Poe about the hyperspace tracking, Poe is already sort of pissed at Holdo, which is why he mocks her by saying their plan is a “need-to-know” plan, and she doesn’t need to know.

Alternatively (or additionally), it could be nice if Holdo said something more straightforward to Poe. She could basically say he needs to learn how to follow orders, since he clearly struggles with that. Holdo could even give Poe some kind of orders, but then we see Poe blow them off to try and save the day in his own way.

Anyway, I’m sure you’ll figure out something good.
