Thank you, guys; I really appreciate the support!
Eddie, I love your ideas! My original plan with Hux was to not kill him at all, and instead integrate him into the final battle with some pre-existing footage. Of course, your idea would prevent the audience from recognizing the old shots, which would be a good thing. Maybe something with Pryde killing Hux as part of a coup? Definitely worth exploring!
As for the dagger vision, I was actually already planning on using some ROTJ footage! (Kind of like the vision is telling Rey, “It’s on the Death Star, here’s what happened to the Death Star, now get going.”) But I love the idea of incorporating the Wayfinder itself into those shots! I can totally see it already. Just gotta practice some rotoscoping! Thank you!
