  1. Yes. There was no need to copy Tatooine.

  2. Sounds cool.

  3. See above.

  4. Vader’s helmet as the mcguffin would be cool, but no thanks to Luke showing up earlier.

  5. Not sure how that would fit into the story, but it’s worth keeping in mind if they ever revisit the KOTOR era.

  6. Sounds cool.

  7. NOOOOOOO!!! TFA had enough rehasing as it is.

  8. I could go either way on this idea.

  9. What does the drill do?

  10. Who/what is being rescued?

I like the idea of Starkiller Base being a hoax if it’s a thing at all.

4.why “no” to luke showing up earlier? If it’s cause of too many characters, I plan to cut out Maz, Phasma, bb8, and Poe all from my rewrite.

5.youre right, this is better for more of a Kotor thing.

7.what would you do for the villain instead then? Technically the “failed father and son relationship” thing was a rehash too.

  1. Instead of a drill I guess it would be a laser that slowly burns through the earth until it reaches the planet core, which then triggers the destruction of said planet. So it still poses as a similar threat to Death Star, but is visually different and makes more sense since its small, and therefore something that a supposedly small org like the First Order could make.

  2. Han and Chewy would be rescuing the girl as she’s retrieving the mcguffin maybe? Cause they’re there to try to get the same thing? And that’s how they cross paths? Or maybe the girl agreed to go try to get the mcguffin for them but then got into trouble, hence the rescue?

What do you mean by “hoax”?
