I would agree that Luke's reaction to Biggs' death leaves something to be desired. But if anyone can fix this, it's Adywan. Maybe by adding in some relevant cue, giving Luke several different "reaction shots" back to back, or having Luke "zone out" for a few moments while the battle continues on around him. Or maybe by stealing the "I can't believe he's gone" line from after Ben dies (the visual with Leia aboard the Falcon might be enough for that scene), so that Luke can utter the "new" line over the com-link (assuming Adywan can get the audio to match).

Making Biggs a completely background character would work too. At the least, you'd have to alter the dinner scene on Tatooine so that Biggs is not mentioned.

And Adywan, sorry I didn't mention this sooner, but good luck with quitting smking and the weight loss.
