    They should pull a DC and release an alternative cut of Rise of Skywalker, only it's a completely different movie shot from scratch.

    I'm curious to see Abrams' original cut which was over 4 hours.

    That time could sure smooth some stuff out and clear up some questions.

    But that would just be more of the thing that should be done from scratch.

    I would trash the entire trilogy and start all over again. Focus on an aging Luke right from the start and follow as he recruits a group of new characters for a specific reason that is "resolved" in movie 1, then have someone from that group evolve into the antagonist for the remaining two films as the new characters face split loyalties, betrayal, finding their inner strength etc, and then let one of those characters slowly emerge as the new hero by the end of the third movie.

    Or you could just have another go at a Death Star, I guess.

    How about Lucas' original pitch of episode 9 ending with Han and Leia discovering an empty planet and colonizing it, calling it "Earth"?

    Brilliant.

    That would be the Jedi Academy trilogy books. It wouldve been great (as I recall). Hell, most the books they wrote post ROTJ wouldve been fantastic. But no, as usual, instead of using any of the blueprints, Hollywood had to reinvent the wheel and just wing it. *roll eyes*

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    The Sith are just as dumb as the Jedi. The only truly interesting way forward would have been blurring the lines with some take on the Gray concept.

    The original break off of the Sith would be an interesting story to tell too.

    It's so funny that if you ONLY have watched the movies, you have no idea about that Darth Maul line in the Phantom Menace.

    I feel like things are at a standstill for SW going forward outside of the Mandalorian.

    Have red beams come out both sides of it. The Darth Maul of Death Stars. The crossover everyone has been asking for!

    All of that would have worked so much better and you could still have Han show up for only one movie, too.

    And it's happened once again
    I'll turn to a friend
    Someone that understands
    And sees through the master plan
    But everybody's gone
    And I've been here for too long
    To face this on my own
    Well, I guess this is growing up

    Hahha. Something I just realized through browsing Stars Wars stuff.

    Palpatine wanted Rey to kill him at the end of this movie. Why?

    To become a Sith and inhabit her body.

    So when she killed him, why didn't he do that? Did he forget?
