It's the only thing that matters
That would've added a nice dimensionIf we're doing our own fan fiction I always thought that Luke's turn into a teen murdering hobo would have been more realistic if he had a son that kylo killed. They were both trained together, kylo felt overshadowed/ignored, they duel, kylo accidentally kills Luke's son right as Luke shows up, etc. Luke stops himself from hurting kylo at the last second and Kylo has nowhere to go other than snoke/palpatine.
This is basically the plot to something else that I've read/watched but I'm forgetting what it is.
Had they planned things in advance, they could've had Luke realise Palps had survived, that everything he fought for - and his father's sacrifice - was for naught, and had him retreat into isolation like an aging hippie, convinced that nothing they do matters in the long term.If we're doing our own fan fiction I always thought that Luke's turn into a teen murdering hobo would have been more realistic if he had a son that kylo killed.

I still like it more than any of the prequels, ROTJ, or ANH. ANH is praised alot and I respect it for what it did, but as a movie I find it boring. I just never found Luke to be a compelling protagonist tbh, which is why my opinion on the OT isn't that high. Empire is really the only gem in the Star Wars franchise IMO.

not too shabby. I agree some mystery unfolding would have helped big time.This is what I would've changed with the current trilogy:
- The First Order wouldn't be a thing; as it is, it's practically the remnants of the Empire, therefore it should've just been the remaining and dwindling Empire that tried to remain relevant years after the events of Return of the Jedi.
- The larger and deeper story throughout all three movies should've been that a major force was threatening to bring back the Empire to full strength, but who or what it was remained unknown. Our series protagonists could've somehow been involved in identifying what this threat was. They could've still kept Rey and inserted her into the story by having her witness something happening on Jakku that seemed out of place but would fit right in with secret Empire activity.
- If they want to use Han Solo and Chewbacca, they could've written them as having been employed by the Republic to explore the outer regions since the events of Return of the Jedi. This would tie into the larger narrative of discovering what the Empire is up to and the threat that looms on the outskirts of the galaxy.
- Luke and Leia could've been two Jedi leading an academy. Ben could've been a student who hadn't turned yet but throughout the first and second movies had some dark force reeling him in that direction. This forces Luke to investigate the cause of that, which also ties into whatever is attempting to resurrect the Empire full-force.
- Considering what happens in Rebels, and using the hypothetical scenario of Han and Chewbacca exploring the outer regions, Thrawn could've easily been brought into the fold. Or if that would've been too confusing, they could've introduced more Sith that existed in the outer regions but were stranded that Palpatine somehow managed to contact and bring to life. And on the other hand you would've had a new generation of Jedi that Luke was training. Rey could've found here and proven herself to be exceptional, still writing her as someone special and extremely adept with the Force.
- Finn could've been part of the Empire who defects and informs the protagonists what's really going on. Poe could've been the stubborn pilot he is in The Last Jedi who charges head on to address the unseen threat and loses nearly all of the Republic's forces.
- But more importantly, these movies would have some air of mystery and detective work. I think Star Wars does well with that.
Meh.
In ten years, I hope JJ reveals what his original intentions for Snoke were.

it's JJ, he didn't have any.In ten years, I hope JJ reveals what his original intentions for Snoke were.
Yup, lol. Ah well. Hopefully it ends on a good note.not too shabby. I agree some mystery unfolding would have helped big time.
What is so weird is that Han and Chewie being envoys or sorta secret agents of a fledgling or failing New Republic is such an easy logical step to do and it would at least have shown some character progression.
Having them again as smugglers, doing the same stuff they were doing at the start of ANH is such a retread. And it kinda clashes with his only child being on his way to being the new Vader. And then Leia also, still looking at planning boards to watch over Death Star assault v3.0..sigh.
Intentions?In ten years, I hope JJ reveals what his original intentions for Snoke were.
That will happen after he reveal what the hell Jacob and The Man in Black are.In ten years, I hope JJ reveals what his original intentions for Snoke were.
In fairness, the original 'plan' was for every movie to have a different director. Abrams was never coming back. He just set up a bunch of hollow scenarios and mystery boxes and left others to pick it up.I was worried when I heard the middle movie would have a different director. How in the hell can you let another director come in and kill off all the shit you created in the first movie.
Nah, the lead hero can't go into the final act with a mentor character to lean on like a crutch.part of the problem is... wouldn't it have made much more sense to kill Luke at the end of THIS movie?
*rolls eyes into back of skull because of over-dramatic posts*
PLEASE DON'T SUCK

Bu then we wouldnt have had the hilarity of Luke whipping out a lightsaber against his sleeping teen nephew.If we're doing our own fan fiction I always thought that Luke's turn into a teen murdering hobo would have been more realistic if he had a son that kylo killed.

Surprised he hasn't been canceled tbhHe's still out there writing for his local portland paper. Where I found out he is on team "TLJ is the best since Empire".
Oh yeah. I'm just referring to him being on team "no bendemption" since TFA.He's still out there writing for his local portland paper. Where I found out he is on team "TLJ is the best since Empire".
So does the movie open or not open with a flashback of Luke and Leia training post ROTJ?
Not too hard. Most of Paul Walkers scenes in Fast 7 were digital.I'm really wondering how they're gonna pull off these Leia scenes considering that y'know Carrie Fisher is no longer with us.
