Yeah, the TIEs are a must - otherwise they’d just pop up out of of nowhere in the next shot. In my head, I was thinking: The Falcon bursts through the wall, jumps to Hyperspace. The Knights’ ship flies into frame, implying that Finn and Poe just barely escaped in time, and then it moves towards the Iceberg (to murder Boolio off-screen).
Plus, since the audience wouldn’t know to whom this ship belongs yet, it would be add a layer of intrigue to the early part of the film. “Who’s this? They’re accompanied by an evil music cue…what’s going to happen next?”
Yeah that’s what I had in mind too. Insert knights of ren theme into it and it would click into ppls brains when we are actually shown them and their ship again.
