The only relevant bit is about two seconds for a character to say, “Leia made you acting general.” I really do not want to re-include the scene because Ascendant has been better not to have had it.
I wish there was more room to maneuver but I wonder about an AI line for Poe as he starts to speak with the deceased Leia. “‘Acting general?’ I gotta tell you, I don’t really know how to do this…”
That almost certainly wouldn’t work effectively. But you do raise a good plot-related concern. If it can be alleviated another way I’m open to that, but not to reinstating the Kijimi sequence.
