Is it really worthwhile if it only removes one kick? I can’t do any editing this morning, but I can give it another look with that in mind.
Darthrush is right that there’s not a forthcoming good way to have Hux react, though that would be ideal. I do think that if the scene were as it is in his clip theatrically, no one would have batted an eye.
And yes, I am planning on leaving the crawl alone. I don’t have any big ideas for how to improve it, so changing it would only be for the sake of changing it.
