    The officer and forget his name points out to him that Poe is just stalling, but that was funny. Then Snoke slams him on the floor. Hux got a beating in TLJ and he kept on ticking lol

    Hux will never give up seeking what he sees as his deserved respect and honor. Snoke knows this. So Snoke humiliates him to drive him.

    Kylo just abuses him...I think this is not going to end well for their relationship.

    Don't jinx us : Hux is the only true & well developped villain this trilogy has. Heck, he is the one who blew up the Republic ! We desperately need him on "team bad guys".

    Of course Hux & Ren won't end well : they were almost destined to kill one another from the get go.
    The only question is "Which one will kill the other ?"
    Since Ren needs die, but i can't see any of our hero capable of doing the job, i'm almost ready to bet on Hux backstabbing Kylo somehow...
    (but at this point, wouldn't killing the last Skywalker kinda make him the savior of the galaxy, considering all the damages they have done ?)

    Regardless Hux has 0% chance of surviving this triloggy : even if Kylo doesn't get him, someone else will...

    Thanks for sharing, @Obi-Wan Solo

    Gleeson reveals the moment he asked for in TLJ: Hux considering drawing his blaster and ending Ren once and for all. He asked to include a moment where the audience is reminded what kind of character Hux really is.

    Gleeson said:

    "...General Hux is like a kicked dog for the whole movie, he just keeps on getting thrown into stuff and bullied, and I was like I wouldn't like people to forget that he's also a really nasty piece of work and could have an effect on the way things move forward."

    Gleeson is right. I imagine a scene where he actually tries to kill him with his blaster but Ren defends himself and forces him into obedience and doesn’t kill him in revenge because he needs him! The audience would have been left with the impression that Hux is someone to reckoned with in the future.

    @RockyRoadHux
    You know something is wrong with your writer when the guy playing Space-Hitler (and the only surviving villain for the next movie) HAS to ask :
    "Can i have a scene where my character look, you know, evil ? Please ?"
    Wasting a character like Hux (and such a brillant actor) just for slap-stick comedy is so incredibly dumb and misguided.

    At least we got that moment, and the following scene. Domhnall absolutely nailed that scene, and still made me buy it despite having been ridiculized so badly beforehand.

    Still crossing my finger Hux has a similar scene in IX, except he gets to pull the trigger this time...

    @Rhyoth I couldn't agree more, wasting Hux just for slap-stick comedy, in other words to have Domhnall Gleeson play everything for laughs wasn't a good idea. Rian Johnson really made some bad choices with Hux, but like you said, hopefully Abrams can still bring him back.

    In TFA, I felt that Hux was maybe cut from the same cloth as Krennic, Tarkin, etc - different generation and a bit inexperienced but the same. In Rogue One, the Empire isn't there for comedy - it's focused, direct and brutal, just like in ANH and TESB. Hux's portrayal in TLJ was pushed more in the direction of comic relief which undermined the threat that the First Order posed a bit, at least for me. Whilst I'm a fan of Adrian Edmondson too (The Young Ones through to Bottom), putting the two of them together, with Hux being more the comic relief, didn't help.

    Pure speculation, but I wonder what the odds are of Hux actually turning against the First Order if Kylo pushes him too far? And especially if Kylo's behaviour becomes more erratic as a certain Force ghost starts trolling him?

    to me Hux's most important moment in all of TLJ is his last one. that look of utter contempt he gives Ren inside the base on Crait is pure character gold.
    Ren has shown his hand; Hux knows his weakness now with the Resistance (that it's personal, that he loses his flipping mind every time they engage).

    for all the wrongs Johnson did Hux (and there are quite a few), this moment is exactly right.
    maybe Johnson laid him low to give him somewhere to grow. it's a clunky choice and does more harm than good,
    but at the end, that moment, that look: i believe that's the Hux i think we'll see in ix.

    Because of this moment (and the moment in the Throne Room) I'm pretty sure Hux will try to betray and dethrone Ren. He will probably succeed but also die because of the consequences.

    i think this is how it will go down too. he'll manage to wrestle the throne from Ren, but he'll pay the ultimate price in the end. : o (
    if he gets to be Emperor for five minutes, it'll be worth it ~ hahahaha

    You are welcome.

    I do appreciate that Gleeson added that little moment. I really liked it.
    It shows very well were he stands in regards to Kylo Ren.
    And is definetely in character to what was building from TFA - the rivalry between the two is very amusing to watch and it is a clear certainty that this will be further explored in IX.

    I am "overconfident" that with no doubt "his" FO troops would follow him more willingly than a furious Ren in complete outrage.

    They will struggle for command.

    If Hux would have one chance to fire at Ren like they showed in XIII with Luke... then ...
    Free ticket to uncle Luke for RennyBenny :D

    What if Kylo starts raising a new force to counter Hux' authority with the stormtrooper legions?
