That’s probably partly my fault, switching back and forth between these versions so much. Sorry about that.

Here’s an unrelated idea that I’m throwing out before I forget it, concerning Poe and Korri’s subplot. When we see the Captain’s medallion, I imagine the assumption is that Korri stole it somehow and will use it to escape, and this makes it feel like a convenient get-out-of-jail free card for our heroes.

So what if instead of that she has dialogue indicating that the First Order used it to buy off her crew so they could continue harvesting Kijimi’s young unopposed?

“That’s a First Order captain’s medallion. I’ve never seen a real one.”

“That’s how they bought our silence, Poe. Free passage through the blockade, landing privileges, any ship. Want to come with me?”

Now the medallion takes on a darker meaning, and her giving it up isn’t just her giving up a ticket off-world, but rejecting the First Order’s hold over her.
