You know when Merry says “We need some Holdo maneuvers,” and Finn has an ADR line about “That shot is one in a million”? Personally, I don’t hate that line; but I know that it’s been met with some criticism elsewhere. My headcanon explanation as to why the hyperspace ram was a one-off has been that you need a really big vessel to make it impactful, and the Rebellion and the Resistance are always scraping by with what they have. (I’ve seen “Why don’t they just launch hyperspace torpedos at the Death Star” as a complaint against TLJ; but I mean…would a bullet cause just as much destruction as a rocket launcher, even if they’re going at the same speed?) That would also explain why none of the tiny civilian crafts are able to do a ram on Exegol, but another ship was able to do it elsewhere.

My thought was to change Finn’s line from “That shot is one in a million” to “Our ships aren’t big enough.” Anyone have any idea where I could pull dialogue for that line though?
