I really enjoy your crawls topdawg! I like how you explain your intentions of emphasizing the whole political situation, and your understanding of it based off the dialogue is very observant. The only part I’m not sure of is if what Hux said about the New Republic supporting the Resistance is truth or propoganda, because it also seems that New Republic didn’t see the First Order as a threat and saw Leia as a paranoid warmonger. We definitely could’ve used a little more context in the movie, definitely agree with that.

Also really like your ROTJ crawl. It flows really well to me. This may be the wrong thread for this but would it start on Tatooine/Nal Varr sense the crawl ends on that note? Also, I think changing it to a Hutt world is an interesting idea. Would like to see how it could be executed.

Hal, sorry if you mentioned this already, but did you have any feelings on the R2 subplot with the map? I know a lot of people felt that it seemed more like weak storytelling. The whole logic of the map is confusing to me and I know the answer JJ gave for his late wake up feels like lazy writing to some. I know this has been discussed before but I’d appreciate anyone’s additional thoughts on it.
