General Hux spends much of The Last Jedi being pushed around by other characters. Whether it's Snoke, Kylo Ren, or even Poe Dameron, Hux frequently finds himself at the mercy of others. But there is one moment where he considers taking control for himself. When Kylo Ren is knocked out following his showdown with Rey and Hux considers drawing his blaster and ending Ren once and for all. Ultimately Ren wakes up and Hux puts his blaster away, for the time being. This moment was apparently the request of actor Domhnall Glesson, who revealed in a recent interview with filmmaker Kevin Smith for IMDb that he asked director Rian Johnson to include a moment where the audience is reminded what kind of character Hux really is.
Gleeson said,
"That was the one moment I asked Rian for...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."
