Has anyone considered the idea of recontextualizing either Pasaana or Kijimi and the star destroyer as the opening scene of TRoS instead of Sinta Glacier? The opening we have is pretty blink and you’ll miss it, and the rest of the movie is structured like a repetitive treasure hunt, so maybe moving part of it to the start could make the structure feel a tad more balanced. I’m not sure if it would, but it’s something to consider.

If you go with Pasaana Lando could be the one with the intel on Palpatine’s return. If you go with Kijimi and the star destroyer, then Kylo’s revelation to Rey could lead directly into the lightspeed skipping instead of having to scrap it altogether like you’d have to with Pasaana.
