I was thinking about your planned edit of turning DJ into the codebreaker, and I realized something: if you’re keeping the character who was originally supposed to be the codebreaker in the movie, wouldn’t you need to get rid of his red plom bloom? At the very least, you’d need to recolor it. I’m just worried someone would watch the movie and think “Wait, that random background character also has a plom bloom? Are there two codebreakers or something?”

Also, I feel like you’d need to remove Maz’s line about the codebreaker “rolling on a high-stakes table”. It feels like it creates a bit of a contradiction, with Maz saying that the codebreaker is a rich classy guy and him turning out to be a bum in prison.
