Hang on a minute. Why would there be a mention of needing the hyperdrive modulator for what's highly likely a comic-only problem? And also specifically being the second modulator that was picked up in the previous movie. I've been informed since the last comic update that Episode VIII is actually directed by others than the ones(?) who did Episode VII, and a small detail like that now feels like it'd get left behind. Is this meant to be a set-up to cover an upcoming plot hole where it'd be needed but wasn't mentioned? Is the whole modulator idea a plot hole patch of its own? At the same time though, there's enough visual evidence to suggest that it does exist in some form, like the mouth ship escape, Han's flying to the Peace Moon-movie-name, and the whole second cone-finding scene. There's gotta be like one or two major details I'm missing about this whole thing now that all this info doesn't fit as neatly together.

Jim should have played up the "X-wing flambé" that happened after he destroyed the last gun turret if he'd wanted to actually have a chance of crashing. And possibly the fact BB-8 shorted a bunch of things out with his head to get the X-wing guns working again. Heck, it even looks like it's still trailing smoke or coolant in the middle big panel; springing a leak in the throttle control or fuel lines or something would have been perfect. Maybe Jim should take some lessons from Pete on how to make the game more difficult for himself.
