AHHH! It's him! He's managed to start taking over! Again! I was wondering if he'd show up as a third side by the GM to encourage more of the usual cooperation by the players, but this is even more surprising! The Falcon's antivirus was the only thing that the party had that countered his most recent "appearance", so it's good that Rey still has the ship. This twist also lets the GM control the bad guy side more than before when it looked like Kylo was running everything, which is probably the dynamic they're most comfortable running.

This is the first time I'm definitely sure that the Irregulars have changed the movie's story. I've had some suspicions before, but there's no way that Nute Gunray somehow manages to come back to life all the way from Episode III in the movies. I was pretty sure that there were going to be changes somewhere as the Irregulars were waiting for all three new movies to be out to make sure they could plot the comic through, but there's only so much that's guessable with brand new characters. And Nute definitely didn't show up in Episode V at Cloud City, so there's already precedent for Nute changes in the comic.

I also like the incredulous phrasing Kylo uses here. It really drives home how much of an old junker the Falcon is in-universe and something that should not be able to pull off the crazy stunts we see it perform. To me, it's like hearing that someone has escaped out to sea on a cargo transport ship and vanished while you've got a large number of military ships that should both (a) be able to easily locate said cargo ship and (b) not lose track of the ship in the first place. Which, since the "escape" is very much secretly intentionally allowed (or was at one point), helps sell the idea that this is for a real defection to any spies in the lower ranks.
