While I’m still thinking about what to do with Yoda, I’ve moved General Hux’s exposition-heavy scene regarding why the First Order can’t blow up three tiny cruisers to another spot. The original placement occurred rather awkwardly, because it occurs after Leia gets blowed up real good. I’ve moved Hux’s scene to the beginning of the battle, just after Poe gets permission to “jump into an X-Wing and blow something up.” This placement feels more natural, and with my removal of the flying Princess Leia moment, Leia and pals getting the explosion treatment becomes the end of the scene, throwing quite an emotional impact on the audience.
