I don’t dislike the Rathtars but I will admit the whole sequence feels like it’s from a different film. Still, if you get rid of it you lose some nice humor and “I have a bad feeling about this” (which to me is a necessity for a SW film) Also you get the aforementioned continuity errors of Snoke knowing, Chewie injured, and also why they leave the freighter. It’s also a good scene to reestablish Han’s character.
The best thing to do is might be to cut it down (you can probably remove Finn getting grabbed entirely).
