  • C-3PO’s joke… as much as I love the AI reading that we have. It does seem a little odd for him to think he is a spy RIGHT AFTER Hux is admitting that he is the spy. Maybe it can be changed to something like:
    – Troop: “Who are you?!
    – 3PO: “Perhaps you could tell me!
    –Troop: “Then why are you… what?

That indeed might be a little fourth wall breaking, but it does make sense within the context of the scene itself, isolated from everything else that’s going on. They’re sneaking on board a massive ship, after all. It also lines up the best with his following line: “My first laser battle!” which is consistent with him being caught up in the idea that he’s some sort of amazing droid skilled in espionage and marksmanship. I probably wouldn’t have a problem with your line, but I do think it’s a little less funny. I’ll definitely go with whatever Hal prefers in this case.
