^^^ I like the cut with the reduced bickering alot. It could work well that way. The alternative I know of is to minimize runtime but might work to eliminate conflict. If the sky out the windows could be altered to make it more sun-setty, the elevator-meet-and-greet could be cut right after Typho mentions greater danger than realized with some ominous music taking us to Fett and the changling. The part about "You're using her as bait!?" could be cut. Obi could then be reckless like Ani when he jumps out the window.
