Things I would’ve change about The Sequel Trilogy

My other Star Wars changes

Prequel Trilogy

The Clone Wars and Rebels

Original Trilogy

Rogue One

Solo

The Force Awakens

Since going into the movie without reading the new canon novels or TFA novelization, I think it would improve the story if Lor San Tekka was replaced by someone we already knew like someone from the Rebellion like Mon Mothma or General Dodanna. I think it would’ve worked better, either of these people, they would be close to Leia and would have known Ben growing up and would just as equally be disgusted as what he has become. But particularly I think Mon Mothma would work better. Ben grew up on her homeworld of Chandrilla, she would have to be in the senate with Leia, but she would have seen him growing up as a child and just to see what he grew into would be heartbreaking and her death would have greater meaning because this is a character we all knew. One of the Rebel architects and Leia's oldest friends, cut down by Leia's own son.

The First Order Stormtroopers would look different. The thing that bothers me about the First Order is the Stormtroopers don’t really look all that different. Just a slightly different helmet. So the Stormtroopers would need a complete revamp. Art from the concept art from TFA

Finn would be an elite soldier, not a janitor. Finn would be the commander of the Elite Stormtrooper Squad. Finn and his squad are not just regular Stormtroopers. Finn is the Squad leader of an elite squad of Stormtroopers. It would be called Obsidian Squad. Battle Hardened, a group of Stormtroopers that rival the Knights Of Ren and essentially the First Order’s 501st Legion. They are commanded only by Hux and Phasma. Finn’s Squad are accompanying Kylo Ren on Jakku to find Luke’s map.

Have Finn’s indoctrination and conditioning have more impact. I never felt like Finn’s conditioning as a Stormtrooper held any impact after he removed the armor. Finn is a character who was raised as a Stormtrooper, but there doesn’t feel like any indoctrination to begin with. First off, he should be raised to hate Han, Luke and Leia. He was indoctrinated as a child, so Finn should be taught from childhood to adulthood that Han, Luke and Leia are terrorists and war criminals who destroyed over 20 years of peace and would be taught that Luke, Han and Leia are responsible for genocide(you know that “I had friends on that death star” joke) so he is taught to hate them from birth and to kill them on sight. So Finn would see The Resistance and The NR as a threat to peace, he is there to restore balance, he believes it until he realizes The First Order is wrong.

Finn’s character arc is about learning to overcome years of indoctrination and conditioning and learning to do what is right. After Slip dies, Finn is consumed by grief and wants revenge on Poe. But Hux and Phasma orders Finn to let him go so Dameron can lead them to The Resistance Base. Finn is basically playing “traitor” however something happens. his programming finally wears down and his natural empathy comes through. When Poe asks his name, Finn chooses it for himself. Finn feels the guilt of his actions on Jakku, his guilt and empathy is what awakens his force sensitivity, before Finn leaves to get Poe, Finn stops because Kylo Ren stares at him, Kylo feels something in him. Finn frees Poe and their interactions remains the same, but Finn still harbors anger over what Poe did. But something happens, Poe dies saving Finn and this changes things. He felt remorse for what he felt for Poe and what he’s done for The First Order. So now the only course of action is to find the droid and keep it from The First Order....but will he be strong enough to fight his conditioning? Upon arriving to Nema outpost, he sees Rey being attacked and his instincts as a soldier is to help her and together they fight off Unkar’s men. Rey thanks Finn but says she could’ve handled herself. BB-8 tells Rey that he’s wearing Poe’s jacket. This prompts Rey to ask “where did you get that jacket?” Finn tells her that Poe died saving him. This saddens BB-8 but this way Rey and Finn’s first meeting is not a hostile one. Finn tells her the mission was to deliver BB-8 to their base to deliver the map to Luke Skywalker. Just saying the name causes Finn to twitch. BB-8 is immediately suspicious. Rey does not say that Luke is a myth. She knows who he is as he was her hero on Jakku that filled her with hope. Luke being a myth to Rey is dumb considering she knows who Han is and knows about the Jedi. Suddenly they are being attacked by The First Order. Rey and Finn are pinned down and unable to make it to a ship. Suddenly The Millennium Falcon comes to the rescue. Rey is in awe of Han Solo. Han says he’s glad he could help, but is wondering where Poe is. BB-8 gives sad beeps and Finn tells him the truth. And OH BOY do we have an absolute nightmare coming when Finn sees Han Solo, Finn is barely able to keep control of himself as his programming has it built in to kill the Rebel heroes. Finn’s grown an attachment to Rey and BB-8. After seeing the map to Luke, Han tells the same story to Rey and Finn. Han says he will get them safely to the Resistance base. But Han tells Finn. “I know every member of the Resistance. I know you’re not with us. Whatever your story is, you better tell her the truth. Women have a way of finding out the truth. Always.” Han goes to Takodana as per original. When confronted about the truth, Finn is not trying to run, Finn is torn about what to choose his new found friends or his duty to The First Order? This way we can see what a life of indoctrination can do instead of never revisiting it. We can have Rey and Han trying to help Finn. I would have Maz using the force to help make Finn stable. It’s only when Finn sees Starkiller Base destroy the Hosnian System does Finn truly see The First Order for the monsters that they are, so after that Finn would choose to fight for The Resistance. On Takodana, Maz gives the Lightsaber to Finn and Finn starts cutting Stormtroopers down and Finn is confronted by Phasma instead of Nines. Phasma will call him traitor and “you could have been so much more” they fight and Phasma has him beat, but Han makes the save. In this we can see Finn and Han learning to trust each other. This way we can show Finn struggling to fight his conditioning and finally overcoming his indoctrination and learning to fight for what’s right. Finn can use his knowledge to help train The Resistance and use what they taught him against them.

Rey’s character arc is overcoming her trauma. Rey starts off as a mix of Han Solo and Jyn Erso. Someone who only cares about her own survival and is consumed by her own trauma but learns to overcome her trauma, start caring for other people and something bigger than herself. That would’ve been the perfect character arc for Rey.

Poe dies saving Finn. Since Oscar Isaac largely became unhappy about Poe's direction and even confirmed that he wish Poe died in TFA, I think I would change it so he would die cause I feel like him dying to save Finn would've been more emotional. And honestly Poe just coming back and having a convoluted explanation as to how he survived was just a huge cop out to me. Poe dying would’ve been so emotional and impactful. It would’ve given Finn a true reason to fight for The Resistance and everyone in Black Squadron and The Resistance would destroy Starkiller Base and declare “For Poe!” After the shields were destroyed, Jessika Pava would be the one to destroy Starkiller Base.

Han Solo’s character arc from the original trilogy isn’t regressed. He returns as the same character he was in A New Hope. He abandoned his wife Leia, he left the Rebellion and went back to smuggling. He isn't even looking for his son Ben Solo. Han would never leave Leia or abandon his child. It is simply bad writing to redo his entire arc from the original trilogy again and to make him a bad parent when it is out of his character to do so. Legends understood Han and Leia better. Han and Leia stood strong in their marriage for 3 decades despite a hostile extra Galactic invading species killing both Chewbacca and their 14 year old son Anakin, their other son Jacen becoming a Sith, him killing Luke’s wife Mara, and having to be killed by his twin, their daughter Jaina. And they both still kept up their roles as a General and Chief of State/Ambassador. So what I would instead do, is make Han a joint General with Leia. Both Han and Leia lead the Resistance. When Poe hasn’t reported in, Leia sends Han to Jakku. Which leads Han and Chewie flying the Falcon(Han would never leave the Falcon) to BB-8′s signal. As the Tie-Fighters have Finn, Rey and BB-8 pinned down and when all hope seems lost, Han comes to the rescue. Han chooses to go to Takodana so he doesn’t lead The First Order to D’Qar. We can see Han mentoring Rey about the Falcon and being a father figure to Rey and Finn. Instead of Maz’s talk of “Han, go home” Maz will simply tell Han. “Han, let him go. Your son is gone.” Han will simply say. “My son is still alive” When he sees Kylo abducting Rey, he knows it’s Ben. When he returns to Leia, keep in the “I found our son” Instead of giving the vibe that they split up, make it clear that Han and Leia have been married for over 30 years. They stood strong together despite the tragedy of their son. Han inspired Leia to form The Resistance after The New Republic abandoned her. Together they lead The Resistance in the hopes of finding Luke and their son. Their goodbye is pretty much the same, but Han kisses Leia goodbye. Han’s death remains the same because it was beautifully well done.

Lando is in TFA from the beginning. Lando is the senator of Bespin for The New Republic and one of the Resistance’s Generals of The Resistance’s Command. Have Lando and Han embrace as Han returns "I missed you old buddy, how have you been!" then Lando goes to hug Chewie and have Lando in awe of Finn. "I am so sorry for what those monsters have done to you, you will always have a home with us" something like that. Lando would mobilize his forces that are loyal to him, so we have more to attack SKB than just Black Squadron.

Kylo Ren is smart about dealing with the figure from the Rebellion. Kylo Ren’s introduction and murder of Lor San Tekka introduces a menacing villain, it also introduces the fact that Kylo Ren is a fucking idiot. In my version, Mon Mothma is who Poe goes to meet about the map. Mon Mothma is disappointed in how he turned out. Gives the same speech about Kylo cannot deny the truth of his family, only Kylo does not stupidly kill her. He has a key figure in the Rebellion in The First Order’s hands and leverage to use against her. So Kylo goads her into telling him about the map. And Kylo threatens to burn the village and to kill everyone. Mothma pleads that the villagers are defenseless and good people. Kylo gives her the count of 10. Mothma simply says “I gave it to the Resistance.” Kylo says nothing and kills her. This prompts Poe to attack. Kylo freezes the blast and puts two and two together. This can show that Kylo Ren is a menacing, he’s smart and he is willing to do what’s necessary for the First Order. The actual attack happens as planned, but used the threat of violence to get her to talk. It was simply dumb to just kill San Tekka when Kylo had leverage against him.

Kylo and Poe’s exchange. I feel this needs to be changed because it just undermined the seriousness of the slaughter Kylo Ren has caused and killed one of General Organa’s dear old friends. Poe should not be cracking jokes. Poe is furious, but brave. Stares Kylo in the face and does not give him the satisfaction. Poe would say “I’ll die before I give you anything.” Kylo will retort “we shall see”

Captain Phasma isn’t wasted potential and is featured as much as Hux and Kylo Ren. Phasma leading The Stormtroopers in every scene, shows up with Kylo and Hux to their audience with Snoke and after discovering FN-2187′s betrayal and defection, she makes it her personal mission to hunt him down for desertion and betraying the FIrst Order. In my honest opinion I would have rather of seen Captain Phasma been the one fighting Finn on Takodana instead of FN-2199 /TR-8R. It makes sense. It gives Finn an enemy to fight, his former Captain and leader who ordered atrocities that Finn could not commit and had compassion for his team members and Phasma wanting to show no mercy to traitors. Phasma would be winning the fight and nearly delivers the killing blow(let’s be honest Phasma would win the fight) until Han knocks Phasma out cold with Chewie’s bowcaster. Phasma recovers and returns to Starkiller Base and is captured by Finn and Han. This scene in the movie is what bothered me with how she was handled the most While she is said to be completely devoted to The First Order, she is so easily intimidated into turning the shield generator off. I don’t see this happening with the character they were trying to establish. What I would do instead is Phasma would activate the security alarm. “Oh did you say deactivate the shields? I thought you said alert everyone to your presence. Good luck.” Han, Finn and Chewie are forced to improvise and deactivate the shields themselves and make a quick escape.

Kylo Ren is shown to be strong and Finn is given an equal fight against Kylo Ren. During the fight Finn uses his tactical experience to outsmart him instead of just getting toyed with. Hell, we could even have Finn being able to be on par with Kylo and Finn starts to win the duel, but Kylo gets a upperhand and disarms Finn and renders him unconscious. But not to the point where Finn is in a coma. Rey does wield the lightsaber and Kylo and Rey have their fight. However one thing that needs to change is Rey needs to lose. There is no tension if the villain of your movie is easily beaten easily. Kylo is able to call upon the dark side to easily overpower Rey and he is about to win. But before he can land a killing blow or abduct Rey, Chewbacca comes to the rescue and keeps unloading Bowcaster bolts. Despite how many shots Chewie fired, we see one final shot of Rey and Finn looking at Kylo glaring at them in the Falcon and as they fly away, Kylo finally collapses. Showing this is how powerful he is when injured, so imagine him at his peak.

When returning to D’Qar, instead of Rey hugging Leia, Rey and Finn are both rushed to the medic. Meanwhile. Leia, Lando and Chewie all hug each other. Chewie lets out something sad in Shyriiwook that is basically saying “Han...he’s gone” and Leia will respond “I know”

After they’ve both fully recovered Rey and Finn part ways. Rey is headed for Luke, while Finn decides he needs to stay with the Resistance as he believes they need him and he can finally do something good now that he’s free. They part ways. Rey will give the same line to him “We'll see each other again. I believe that. Thank you, my friend.” as they hug and part ways.

The Last Jedi

We would see a memorial for Han before the evacuation of D'Qar. Leia would give a eulogy for Han, everyone in the Resistance except for Finn and Lando would give their part in remembering Han. Leia can properly mourn for Han and while that’s going on have the scene from the graphic novel of Luke mourning Han.

Rey and Luke have a great mentor and apprentice relationship. The biggest mistake is not having a teacher-student relationship between Luke and Rey. It’s understandable that Luke would be hesitant towards Rey after his nephew’s betrayal and the fall of his Jedi Order. While Rey and Kylo Ren’s force bond is interesting, I honestly feel like it is more important to have the bond be about Luke and Rey. It should be about training Rey and establishing a relationship between Luke and her. It was said their relationship would be the heart of the film, so my suggestion is do just that. Focus on Rey and Luke having an actual relationship with each other and her training. Rey needs to be trained in the force to be a believable character. Even Anakin, Ahsoka, and Luke himself were given training and time to become skilled and powerful. Instead of just copying Yoda and old man Obi’s personality into him, do something we have never seen before in a Jedi Master in the movies: make Luke humorous, lighthearted, make Luke lecture Rey ON the importance of attachments and understanding the darkness just as much is the light. It would also create a parallel to what Snoke is teaching Kylo. Have Luke show Rey how to feel the force. Even show Luke teaching Rey to craft her own Lightsaber. Rey could finally make her Saberstaff with Yellow or Purple Crystal and teach Rey that attachments can lead you to the dark side if you let them, but they won't lead you to darkness if you control your emotions.

Luke is in exile for the same reasons, but explains to Rey he did not leave behind a map. There were many people looking for him, Mon Mothma went in search of him to bring hope back to the galaxy and the First Order searched for the map to kill him, but Luke came to the island because he believes many of the problems of the galaxy were the fault of the Jedi. And Ben’s fall was part of why he went into exile.

One thing I am keeping is Rey is a nobody, but that’s not the reveal. I am keeping this is because it works in the context of The Force Awakens. In the trailers for TFA, whenever asked about who she is, Rey says “I’m no one” Rey Nobody WORKS. The only problem however is Rey needed to be told that she was a nobody. Rey already knew who her parents are. Rey never thought or wanted her parents to be important in TFA, she was literally going to pass up adventure and being important to stay on Jakku because she just wanted her family to come home. She didn't need or want them to be important. The audience did. The reveal is this. Rey killed her parents.

While We see Rey and Luke’s mentor and apprentice relationship. We will see Kylo Ren and Snoke’s relationship as master and apprentice. The first scene with Snoke and Kylo Ren absolutely makes no sense. Snoke said that he would complete Kylo’s training when he told Hux to bring Kylo Ren to him at the end of TFA. Yes, he did fail him and he sensed his father in him, but the training would help snuff the light out. We would see Snoke personally train Kylo himself. Snoke begins by telling Kylo the Sith code ” Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.” even show Snoke telling his apprentice both the Jedi and Sith codes are what hold them back and teaching the flaws of both religions. And that both the Jedi and Sith must be destroyed to truly maintain supremacy of the force. Snoke teaching him the ways of the dark side, using torture and force lightning to draw Kylo’s rage to bring out his full potential in the dark side of the force. We needed to see Sith training. We never once got to see it, so we needed to see it with Snoke and Kylo Ren. And Snoke gives his apprentice one final test. Bring the scavenger to him.

A young actor plays young Ben in the flashbacks. I just did not think it worked to have Adam Driver to play young Ben, the man is 34! Ben Solo was said to stave off the dark side until he was a young adult, so in my opinion, Finn Wolfhard and Owen Teague should have played Ben Solo in the flashbacks. Finn as Ben as a child and Owen as a teen. They both look like a young Ben Solo so it really works.

More flashbacks of Ben and Luke. Show flashback of Ben being sent away with Luke and his farewell with Leia. Show better memories he had with Luke and show that not everything was bad with his family. They could not save him from Snoke, but show they never truly gave up on Ben. Show Ben’s relationship with the students who would become The Knights Of Ren and show they are his best friends and they would fight and die for Ben

Ben Solo’s reason for betraying his family and murdering the Jedi should NOT be because his parents were neglecting him or Luke tried to kill him. I can never seeing that happen with either character. Han and Leia were wonderful parents in the old EU, the thought that they would be bad parents is just bad writing. Even more bad writing is the thought of Luke who always saw the good in his father would try to kill his nephew. Han and Leia did not give Ben to his uncle because they were afraid of him, they gave him to Luke so Luke could help him. What I would change about how Ben Solo became Kylo Ren is, I would have it that Ben found out thanks to the New Republic that Vader was his grandfather and his family never told him and felt betrayed and just snapped. He has been trying to destroy everything they have built and finishing what Darth Vader started

Give The First Order a backstory and motivation. The biggest mistake about the Sequel Trilogy is there is no motivation on why we have to care for this war to begin with. The First Order is evil for the sake of being evil and we are told and expected to root for the Rebels Resistance. Here’s how I would give The First Order a motivation. First I would have Luke tell Rey the story of The First Order, while Leia tells the same to Finn. Since The Empire were based off the Nazis and the Military Industrial Complex/Nixon. I would take inspiration from Operation Paperclip and inspiration from how the US Government uses terrorist groups to fight an enemy and then the group turns on them after the government needs an enemy to fight. So say The New Republic did not want to militarize again and fight a threat in the Unknown Regions, which could be the Yuuzhan Vong. So despite Leia’s protests, they decided to enlist the Imperial Admirals, Generals and officers to create a fringe group of an Imperial movement to fight the Yuuzhan Vong. They succeed but there is a problem, the public sees the Imperials as heroes and the new Republic see them as a threat. Again ignoring Leia’s warning, the senators of the New Republic has now labeled The Imperials as terrorists and the new Republic nearly destroys this Imperial movement they flee into the Unknown Regions with nowhere to go. The Imperial Remnant is at death’s door when all hope is lost, Snoke offers them revenge. Snoke offers them the resources of the Unknown Regions. Snoke offers them purpose and the destruction of the New Republic. That is how I would explore the origins and the motivation of The First Order. They want revenge and simply want to exist. Phasma joined because she saw strength and order. Hux joined because of his father and Ben joined because he saw The First Order were heroes and had the best interests of the galaxy. Leia has no choice but to clean up the mess of the New Republic.

There is a battle over D’Qar between The Raddus and The Finalizer. No bad humor between Poe and Hux, just an all out war between The Resistance And The First Order. We see Jessika and Black Squadron, Tallie, Paige and Cobalt Squadron(only Cobalt Squadron would be comprised of Y-Wings and A-Wings) Eventually as we see the majority of the Tie Fighters wiped out and The Finalizer crippled and we all think The Resistance has won, it happens. The Supremacy comes out of hyperspace and with it, Kylo Ren in The Silencer. The Silencner wipes all the fighters, but Jessika, Paige and Talllie, they make a retreat.

Finn knows about the Supremacy’s tracker and asks everyone for capable engineers, which prompts Paige to recommend her sister Rose.

Finn is a big deal in the Resistance. It is shown through cut material that Finn was in Cobalt Squadron uniform. Have Finn be with Paige, have Paige and Finn have a short friendship(this actually gives Ngo Thanh Van speaking lines), Paige being in awe that Finn, someone who escaped The First Order helped The Resistance destroy Starkiller Base is working with him and she is more than happy to show him the ropes. They are co-pilots of a Y-Wing(those bombers were stupid and we all know it) Finn was able to save Paige from dying in space and instead she dies in his arms while leaving a bloody handprint on his heart, working as a callback to when Slip died in Finn’s arms and left a bloody handprint on his helmet and her last words being “tell my sister I love her.”

Finn and Rose. Something I would improve is the relationship between Finn and Rose. Finn seeks out Rose to give her Paige’s pendant and for her help for his mission. Rose breaks down and hugs Finn. Both Finn and Rose have a good relationship at this point and there is no pointless hostility. Finn and Rose tells the plan to disabled the Hyperspace tracker to Leia, Lando and Holdo. They don’t like it, but they don’t see any other option. More on Finn and Rose. Their relationship would be better developed. During their flight to Canto Bight we would get a scene of the two talking about their families. Finn would say he was taken from his family by The First Order and never really knew them. Rose empathizes with Finn’s trauma and acknowledge that they are both cut from the same cloth. Rose and Paige lost their family and home and Finn lost his family and home, they have something in common and a reason to fight for The Resistance and against The First Order.

Finn and Rose’s mission. Their mission is to meet the Master Codebreaker. And that’s what they do. They do not meet DJ, no they successfully get the Master Codebreaker. Benico Del Toro would be playing the Master Codebreaker. The Master Codebreaker reveals he is on Canto Bight for a stake out to sabotage a warlord and stop him. But he would agree to put that mission on pause to help The Resistance as he owes Lando an old favor. However Finn doesn’t feel it’s right to gain his help in exchange for nothing, so Finn and Rose would agree to help him. After completing his mission, they go to infiltrate the Supremacy and continue the mission to disable the Hyperspace Hacker. They are successful, but unfortunately they are caught while trying to make their escape.

BB-9E is Kylo’s personal droid

Kylo and Rey’s scenes remain the same. Only when asked why he killed Han and why he hated him. Kylo will say. “I didn’t hate Han Solo....I loved him. I wanted to be like him. I killed him because I thought it would help me. I was being torn apart by the weight of the light and dark sides of the force and I thought killing him would help me. It did not, it only made things worse.” Kylo shows remorse for killing Han.

Luke Skywalker does not give up, mentors Rey and fights the First Order. My problem with Luke in TLJ is he just gives up. Luke ALWAYS saw the light within Anakin. Darth Vader was evil and committed atrocities for decades but he saved and redeemed his father. But he gave up on Ben because he saw Snoke’s influence on Ben and instead of helping him like Luke would actually do and what Leia wanted Luke to do, he goes with the intention of killing him but stops with the shame. Luke would never consider igniting his lightsaber preparing to kill a family member. Let alone his sisters son. Luke just gives up. Period. He does not even care that his sister’s life and the Resistance she is leading is in danger and condemns the galaxy to darkness. So instead what happens is Luke trains Rey(as I said above) when her training is nearly complete. Luke senses Leia is in danger and as Rey believes Ben can turn, Luke decides he must go and save his sister. Both Rey and Luke part ways.

Kylo kills Snoke and they fight the Praetorian Guard together, only it is better choreographed and no bad editing.

Ben after feeling his mother in danger decides to call off the fleet. Rey asks Ben to join her and come home. Ben doesn't believe he can go back after all the horrible things he’s done. But Rey simply tells him "The light has always been there, it’s calling to you. Just let it in already. Let me in." Rey then takes his gloves off and offers her hand and Ben takes it. But he then tells her to leave as he feels “it’s too late for me, I am already too far gone” he then takes the title of Supreme Leader.

After Finn and Rose successfully disables The Supremacy, They are captured by Phasma and Hux. Phasma and Hux has them at their mercy. Lining Finn, and Rose up for execution. Hux tells Phasma not to kill Finn, to let him take his place as FN-2187. Hux will tell Finn “you were once one of our best soldiers, I even saw you with potential to be a captain, you can be that great soldier for The First Order again. All I ask is you wipe this Resistance filth from the galaxy.” Finn of course refuses by saying “I’m Finn, I’m a big deal in the Resistance, Rebel Scum”, so Hux tells Stormtroopers to escort him for "rehabilitation. These Stormtroopers Finn convinces to rebel and next thing you know Finn is leading a Stormtrooper rebellion to save Poe and Rose and Finn and Phasma have their fight. It ends similarly to that deleted scene. With nearly all the Stormtroopers in the are to throwdown their helmets and rebel against Phasma. As the hyperspace ram happens, Everyone is knocked out. As Finn and Rose awakens, they see Phasma leave in a shuttle.

Do not kill off Phasma and once again do nothing with her. While I love that we got to see Phasma and Finn fight, again they did not do anything with Phasma. We needed to see Phasma be great in the movie. Show Phasma doing more. Show Phasma leading the charge against The Resistance. Show her obsession of wanting to personally execute Finn for his betrayal. Phasma is Ahab and Finn is her moby dick.

As Rey is drawing away the TIES, Lando makes the call to call off the speeder run. Finn reluctantly agrees as he knows the speeders would melt before even denting the mini death star.

Luke appears before Leia and the Resistance. Luke is able to confront The First Order and then Ben. It remains the same, only that Luke wields the green lightsaber and it’s a real lightsaber fight between uncle and nephew.

Rey returns and meets Rose and embraces Finn in a hug.

The movie ends with Rey asking Leia “how can we rebuild the Resistance from all this?” Leia will put their hands on Rey’s hands and say “we have everything we need”

Episode IX

It will be renamed A New Order

Palpatine will not be returning.

The focus of the movie will be about The First Order. Hux, Phasma and the Knights Of Ren will be the villains.

TFA. Hux is complete and utter wasted potential. Instead of pointlessly killing him off and making a new Hux, 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 feasable 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.

Everyone agrees that Phasma was wasted. Since I’ve decided not to kill her off in my TLJ changes. Phasma lived and survived a dead planet. She escaped a trash compactor and an exploding planet all by herself. Her armor is made of spaceship metal and resistant to fire. Her potential was wasted and she deserved to shine. A cold and calculative embodiment of the First Order would be the perfect villain for the final installment in the Sequel trilogy.

As for how we could implement this Duo. Perhaps one day with a meeting with the heads of The First Order's military. Hux displays Snoke's murder for all to see and displaying it to every soldier and to the Knights Of Ren. Everyone is calling for Kylo's murder and screaming TRAITOR!! And Kylo attempts to use the force to choke the life out of Hux and nothing happens. "Something the matter Ren?" Hux says as he cradles his new Ysalamiri(Ysalamiri were furry, lizard-like tree-dwellers about 50 centimeters in length native to the planet Myrkr, most known for their ability to repel the Force by creating a Force-neutral bubble) Then Phasma arrives with the entire battalion of The First Order. Phasma says "Kylo Ren, you are now relived of your duties as Supreme Leader. Prepare for your execution" Kylo now prepares to kill Phasma with his Lightsaber. Except, nothing happens. His Lightsaber is now useless and he is powerless with the force. Phasma then uses her Cortosis-Weave Baton to pierce through Kylo, severely injuring him and commands the army to open fire! There is something aboard the Star Destroyer that is disrupting his connection to the force. So Kylo has no choice but to make it to the Silencer and escape. Before he can make it to his ship, Hux arrives with the Knights Of Ren. Hux explains. "Did you think me a fool, Ren? Did you think we did not have contingency plans for you pathetic Force Sensitives? You must be thinking, HOW? One Ysalamiri isn't enough to suppress your connection to the force. We've been developing technology for years. Did you think we'd always live under the foot of Snoke and the likes of you? We've been planning on this. Let me explain. Aboard every Star Destroyer now rests a Force Harvester. We found the remains from the remains from an ancient battle from the Clone Wars and have been working to perfection to rebuild and mass produce. We know have everything we need wipe out The Resistance and end The Force's hold over the galaxy." Hux would then call for the Knights Of Ren to kill Kylo, they are now the Knights Of Hux. Before they kill him Hux has a change of heart. "My Knights, do not kill your former master. Let him bring the girl to him. Let him bring FN-2187. Lord Ren or should I say Ben Solo, will bring everyone before us and we will wipe them out in one fell swoop. Ben then leaves in his Tie FIghter, but Hux orders to open fire to make things harder for the former Supreme Leader. Ben is now dying and on a marooned planet. Uses the force bond with Rey to call to her and to call to his mother.

Phasma plans on killing everyone who is still loyal to Ren and kill those who even dared to show the slightest hesitation in battle. Phasma is cracking down hard to ensure there is no chance another FN-2187 can be born. But Phasma is doing this because she knows Finn is Force Sensitive and she wants to draw him out of hiding so she can execute him.

Hux would then have every known force sensitive child to be abducted in order for the force harvester to drain the living force of all who came into contact with. Which would power up the true super weapon. The Dark Reaper. The Dark Reaper worked by harvesting the Force using the Force Harvester, a device that killed anything within range by draining its Force energy and focusing it into beams that dealt massive damage to any object. However, the Reaper could not harvest a wound in the Force. The wound in the force in question would be Rey.

Hux as Supreme Leader would look like this

The real truth of Rey is that she is a wound in the force. A wound in the Force, also known as a hole in the Force, was a type of catastrophic disturbance in the Force; it was a weakness in the fabric of the Force, caused by a traumatic event. Rey killing her own parents at such a young age is what caused her to become a wound in the force. Wounds in the Force were created whenever a massive loss of life occurred. All life in the galaxy was interconnected and when a significant number of lives were suddenly ended, the Force sustained a localized injury much like a sentient who had lost a limb. The epicenter of the wound became a dark place, filled with the reverberating echoes of the pain, terror, and suffering of the life forms who had lost their lives. Wounds in the Force were most often centered in astrographical locations where traumatic events took place, such as Malachor V or Alderaan, but they could also form within individuals such as Meetra Surik or Darth Nihilus. That’s why Rey can be connected to others so easily. That’s why Rey and Ben are connected to each other through the force. Sometimes when there is a close connection between two force-sensitive individuals and one of them is killed, the other one can feel it across the whole galaxy. So when Rey felt Ben at death’s door, she felt it across the galaxy.

Before Ben is found. Ben has a moment of clarity. The force ghosts of Luke and Anakin come to him. Luke coming to tell Ben that he did not mean to kill him that night, that he hesitated after realizing what he was about to do. And finally Ben forgives his uncle. Anakin would then tell his grandson “I never wanted you to repeat my mistakes. That pull to the light you were feeling was always me. I wanted you to be better than I was, who I could have been” and showing Ben his memories and what he had to go through. His life as a slave, meeting Padme, meeting Obi-Wan, becoming a Jedi, losing his mother, Order 66, losing Padme and being saved by Luke and finally destroying Palpatine And telling Ben “Let the light in. You still have a chance, no one is ever really gone“ Ben Solo is at peace knowing the whole truth about his grandfather and is at peace knowing the truth from his uncle. Ben lets go of the anger and hate and returns to the light. Then Rey finds Ben and flies him to The Resistance.

Rey and Leia would find Ben and bring him to be healed. He would then explain what happened to him and what Hux plans on doing. Everyone is horrified. Finn however feels something else. Explains he feels the deaths of so many Stormtroopers, those who were once loyal to Ben and those who have started to resist. And then Rey and Leia feels something terrible is happening to children awakened by the force. All Leia can say is “The force is dying.”

Ben will tell everyone in The Resistance. He knows he’s done terrible things in the dark side and with The First Order. He cannot make up with the hurt that he’s caused, he can only move forward, do good and hope the good he’s done can help find his place in the galaxy and earn his family’s, The Resistance and Rey’s trust. Real redemption requires taking responsibility for your actions. It requires doing the slow and painful work of self transformation and it requires regret for past harm inflicted on others. Ben would realize this and move forward and stand with Rey.

Ben would talk to Rey and tell her “I never wanted power, all I wanted was you. You were never nothing, you were everything to me and I love you Rey” Rey then takes Ben’s hand.

Upon Ben’s redemption. Ben repairs his Crossguard Lightsaber to make the hilt white looking and to heal his cracked and corrupted Lightsaber Crystal and after his Lightsaber is now a Purple Crossguard Lightsaber. Ben’s new redeemed Attire looks that like the son of Han Solo

Rey has gained mastery over the Ancient Jedi Texts and constructed a Yellow Saberstaff. Combining her Quarterstaff from Jakku with a new Lightsaber. She has her hair down and has a similar outfit to her TLJ outfit, only

Rey and Ben would work together to attempt to stop Hux and save the children of the force.

Finn and Rose are sent on a mission to start a Stormtrooper Rebellion. They go to Phasma’s flagship and Rose helps using her skills to help Finn to broadcast a signal to every Stormtrooper. I think it could be something like this. “My name is Finn, I was FN-2187, a Stormtrooper. Like every one of you, I was taken from a family I will never know. I was raised to do one thing… but my first battle, my friend Slip died and that death marked me and made me realize We are people and we have a choice. I wasn’t gonna kill for them. I had nothing to fight for. Until I met my friends, they gave me a name, a purpose and something worth fighting for.(cue Finn smiling at Rose) So I am here to tell you. You have a choice. You are people. You do not have to kill for them anymore. Take back your lives and fight the people who took your lives away from you. I am giving you the one choice they never gave you and choose for yourselves. You can either storm this very room and kill us or you can take back your lives. The choice is yours.” Then we get a very emotional scene of Stormtroopers led by Finn’s last surviving Squad member, Zeroes removing his helmet and tossing it to the ground and then we see hundreds, to thousands of Stormtroopers ripping their helmets off and tossing them to the ground. Officers DEMAND they put their helmet back on and kill The Resistance scum, but they don’t. It happens. Rebellion. Finn and Rose have successfully led a Stormtrooper Rebellion and together burn The First Order from the inside out and Rose could say something that calls back to TLJ. “It was worth it, though. To tear them up, make ‘em hurt.” Finn would embrace Rose in a kiss and say “Now it’s worth it.” And you could’ve had the conclusion to Finn’s story by having Phasma at Finn’s mercy. Phasma begging for her life, saying she will call for The First Order’s complete and unconditional surrender and giving Finn and the rest of the Stormtroopers info of their families and planets. But the defected Stormtroopers want blood. All the Stormtroopers who left the First Order because of Finn are telling him he has to kill Hux while Rose is telling him killing Hux will not be right. Finn makes the decision to spare Hux. Finn tells his brothers and sisters “that’s how we’re going to win this war not by fighting what we hate, but saving what we love.” Inspired by Rose, Finn let’s go of his past and takes Phasma in alive so he can answer for her crimes.

Poe, Leia and Lando would rally the entire galaxy to destroy The Force Harvesters and The Dark Reaper. The Resistance fights back hard and one by one the Force Harvesters are destroyed. However only Rey can stop The Dark Reaper.

Rey and Ben together in The Falcon would assault The Dark Reaper. Because Rey is right by his side, he is not affected by The Dark Reaper. And together in the Millennium Falcon, they land the killing blow. to the dreaded superweapon. The Falcon lands on Hux’s flagship. Rey and Ben would arrive to free the children. Rey guides them all to safety. Before they can get to the Falcon, they are met by the Knights Of Hux. Rey and Ben face them together. It is an even and equal fight. Because of Cortosis-Weave Weapons and armor, Rey and Ben must use their brains and cunning in order to bring the Knights down. So they use the Knights’ weapons against each other. Upon the destruction of the Dark Reaper and the deaths of the Knights Of Hux, they would have Hux at their mercy. Hux would then demand his own execution. "Go on Solo, we both know you want to kill me. and take back control of The First Order. Take control and kill the Jedi." This is the ultimate tool for Ben's redemption. Does he want power or does he want Rey? He would then be put in a Anakin/Dooku situation from ROTS, he would then do what his grandfather could not do. Show mercy to his enemy. And declare. "I am a Jedi, like my mother and grandfather before me." Hux is then taken to be tried and imprisoned for war crimes against the Galaxy.

The war is over. The First Order is no more. The New Order is established. Think Galactic Federation of Free Alliances from Legends. Lando Calrissian is the Chancellor of the New Order. Leia passed away and is entombed on her home of Chandrilla with Han. Finn leads a program to help properly help his brothers and sisters integrate back into galactic society and to help them all find their families and worlds. Poe would the Minister of Defense, always keeping The New Order’s Military strong and on their toes so they can prepare them for whatever threat there is to come. Finn and Rose got married and Rose leads a sanctuary for all the children and animals who have lost their families due to the war and helps take care of them, but also Rose would lead an attack on arms dealers and war profiteers who have profited off the war and suffering of the galaxy. In time, Rose and Finn would bring relief and restoration to Hays Minor and together Finn and Rose Tico would return home and have a family. I believe that Rey and Ben would get married on Naboo, have their honeymoon on Chandrilla, then setting down on Mortis to reform the Prime Jedi and balance the Force while raising their family. Basically Rey and Ben would either gain a peaceful life on Naboo or build a New Order where both sides of the force can come together in order to achieve balance, where they can love freely and use their passions and compassion for the good of the force without suppressing their emotions and I think the best place for this new Order to take place would be on Mortis.
