I was thinking it would be really cool to try and give captain Phasma a more vital role in the film in a small way. I thought it would be interesting if she was someone who had a hidden launch key for SKB on her person or something. Imagine if Chewie tackles Phasma, and then she lowers the shield (while hiding her key,) (hux is giving his speech at this point,) she says “my men will storm the block and kill you, etc.” resistance fighters show up to surprise the first order troops, and then BAM she presses the “button” (I’m sure we could mock something up) as hux is mid speech.

(I figured we could use some footage from Alien V predator of the predator’s big bomb timer. Han could say “do you have a garbage chute? Trash Compactor?” We would think "she’s out of the way for the good guys, and then…BANG!

This would make phasma less of a throwaway character (Brienne of Tarth deserved better,) and would also split up the action a bit between all the recent edit suggestions like moving the hosnian destruction and Han’s big scene.

If Hux was caught off guard mid speech by SKB either initiating its launch procedure or straight up firing, it would show his character as the Tarkin wannabe he really is, just like Kylo is portrayed as the Vader fanboy.
