Earlier today I saw a concept for Rose as a First Order spy. And that got me thinking. What if the very reason as to why Holdo refused to let Poe in on the loop is because there truly was a spy in The Resistance?
Here’s how I would do it.
First of all. Rose Tico was Paige’s sister. The real Rose Tico died prior to the battle of Starkiller Base and was replaced by the changeling(like Zam Wessell) known as Rosita Thorn. Her mission? Infiltrate The Resistance, place the hyperspace tracker on board The Raddus and bring the traitorous FN-2187 to either be reconditioned or executed for treachery.
Upon arriving on The Supremacy, Rose signaled Hux and Phasma, which causes their capture. As they get captured. While Finn and DJ are forced on their knees, Rosita shows her true colors as she shoots DJ and salutes to Hux. “Just as planned, my general”
Her mission was a success. Finn only managed to escape due to the Holdo maneuver.
She becomes the right hand and lover of General Hux
Rosita would keep the appearance of Rose Tico because she’s grown “accustomed” to Rose’s face. Only looking more regal, wearing her hair down and wearing First Order uniforms.
Next Hux and Rosita plan to kill Pryde and after Kylo Ren and Rey kill The Emperor. Hux and Rosita will kill the traitorous Kylo Ren, Rey and then FN-2187, thus securing their and The First Order’s dominance over the galaxy. Long live the Supreme Leader and his Empress!
Instead of wasting Hux here’s what they could’ve done.
Instead we got “I’m the spy” yes, because the man responsible for the Hosnian destruction, responsible for Rose’s homeworld’s destruction, someone who was indoctrinated since a child by Imperial fascism and someone who believes in The First Order....would suddenly be a spy. Utterly ridiculous. Hux was done dirty. Hux should have been the final villain or he should have been the perfect tool to serve Palpatine and the Final Order. He had everything to opposite Kylo: he was clever, he had the military at his side, he hated the Force that Kylo represented, he didn't respect Kylo and wanted his power. Why wasn't he the bad guy?!
Hux was the complete opposite of Palpatine and that’s what made him so good. Instead of a cunning manipulator behind the scenes like Palpatine was in the PT and OT, he's a very small man whose ideology makes him far more scary than he has any right to be. Where Ben is redeemable, Hux is Fascism incarnate. He believes in it and he will kill and die for his beliefs. Hux not being the final villain was dumb.
Instead of pointlessly killing him off and making a new Hux with Pryde, just put the effort into making him an effective villain. Hux had an affinity for technology and contempt for force wielders and force sensitives in general. So I had a thought. What if Hux had technology made to suppress the force so that way a coup against Kylo Ren could be feasible and hell, just give Hux and his soldiers Cortosis Weave armor that way we can actually make Stormtroopers resistant to Lightsabers and actually make them threatening. I would also bring back Phasma as Hux’s right hand.
If Poe is ever brought into Battlefront II in 2020, I think it should only be right to bring in General Hux. Bringing in Hux with Poe is natural. He didn't do much in the movies, but neither did Phasma, Boba Fett or Bossk, so I don't understand why Hux is not in the game.
As for Hux's weapon. Hux's Custom SE-44C blaster pistol
Abilities Supreme Command: Hux boosts the health and attack of all allies within 12 meters. His own health goes up by 150 along with the health of his allies.
Orbital Strike. Works like Nien Numb’s ability in Battlefront 1. When indoors, it changes to a Thermal Imploder
General's Blast: Hux fires a single Ion Shot that can stun Vehicles and Troopers. Troopers/heroes will be stunned for 2.5 seconds, Vehicles will be stunned for 4 seconds.

I have this headcanon that ever since Kylo has became Supreme Leader, Hux has been trying to assassinate him ever since. #justkyluxthings Kylo of course killed the assassins and bounty hunters. But something has happened that put Hux back in line. in the Allegiance comic, it is clear that Hux is afraid and subservient to Kylo Ren.
Now let’s take a card from history. Stalin kept sending assassins to Yugoslavian president Tito Broz, they all failed and Broz sent a letter to Stalin. "If you don't stop sending killers, I will send one to Moscow. And I won't have to send a second."
Lets say Hux plotted an officer and Stormtrooper coup on Kylo and it failed miserably and these were Hux’s best men. Kylo killed them all one by one and Hux is in shock and horror.
Kylo will confront him. “Hux, if you don’t stop sending assassins and plotting coups, I will send the Knights Of Ren to The Finalizer and I won’t have to send them a second time.”
I do love The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have any problems with it.
That awkward moment when Jar Jar Binks is a better general than Hux
General Hux, the man who caused the destruction of the Hosnian system and is shown to be a younger angrier version of Tarkin in TFA, is shown to be an incompetent bumbling fool and Captain Canady is the only intelligent officer in The First Order. He does not deploy the Tie Fighters, order the fleet to move in when The Resistance are evacuating D'Qar and vulnerable, instead orders the Dreadnought to move in, and instead of ordering the Dreadnought with it’s devastating canon to fire on the cruiser thus giving the transports nowhere to go, he orders an orbital bombardment to an almost empty planet. But does not fire because he sees Poe’s X-Wing When Poe arrives in his X-Wing, the only X-Wing in view. Hux does not order deploying the Tie Fighters or even ordering the Dreadnought to fire on Poe. They do absolutely NOTHING. How is Hux a general again? Did he just want to hear himself talk? The turrets are being destroyed by Poe and Hux tells Captain Canady to fire the Dreadnought, Canady responds it’s too small and too close of range to fire their turbolasers and orders the Tie Fighters to be scrambled which should have been done 5 minutes ago. Canady knows Poe is not aiming to penetrate their armor, he knows Poe is clearing out their surface cannons. Here we have it. The only intelligent officer in The First Order, everyone else including Hux are incompetent. How exactly is Hux a general again? Moving on. Hux is slapped around with the force by Snoke, okay understandable, it’s for failure. Vader did the same. But god it is done in almost every scene by Snoke and Kylo. When the Silencer pretty much destroyed all the X-Wing fighters, and The Resistance command is jettisoned in space, Hux just orders Kylo back. They have the opportunity to end The Resistance, just calls him back, a scene later Hux complains he let them go. Sure they can still track them, but the fact that they let them goes shows that Hux is a fool. The only time Hux is allowed to be villainous in the movie is when he is prepared to take out his blaster and kill Ben. Everything else he is either an idiot or someone’s toy to be slapped around. And you expect me and the general audience to believe Hux is going to be the villain in Episode IX?
The Force Awakens + Clone-Fucking Discourse
Friendly reminder that Hux has zero development in the movie and if you love him more than the characters with actual personalities (that is, Finn, Poe, and Rey, for example), I do 100% believe that you love him because he’s a white dude.
Can people enjoy anything on this site without having to say what a good person they are for liking the ‘right’ characters in some form of media and making a judgement on the moral character of another person based on them liking the wrong one.
Especially when they themselves are white.
I have no dog in the race for Star Wars at all, but it’s funny how none of the keyboard warriors seem too fussed about idolising the original white-as-milk trio of Luke/Leia/Han, or shipping the fuck out of Ewan McGregor / Liam Neeson etc. If those older films were a fail for their lack of diversity, why are they & their non-diverse characters still getting a free fandom pass at all?
1. None of the characters you listed are purposefully written as Nazi parallels.
2. There was no diversity in the OT or PT for the fandom to ignore, as there were only a handful of poc and none of them were the leads of the films.
3. Non of these characters have 5 minutes of screentime that literally JUST show them being facists …
