Nev, that’s a real nice mock-up for using a bit more of the buffalo with the chess game. I’m not entirely sure I’ll want to use it, as I’ve gotten used to the more striking introduction to these characters with, “T minus five!” But your approach adds a nice little callback aspect to the ending.

And JJB, you raise a titillating point about potentially using two audio tracks, with wildly different plotting for the Rey Palpatine stuff. That’s such a bonkers idea, but I’d be open to it. Moreso than using it straight out. It’ll depend on all the necessary audio being realized but if there’s enthusiasm for it, that seems like a safe way to play it. 😃
