I have some ideas:
- Remove Snoke altogether from VII. Kylo is the leader of the First Order. Insert the scenes of Kylo meeting Sidious into VII.
- The Battle of Crait takes place around the exact same time Rey faces Darth Sidious. We remove Ben from the final battle with Sidious (digitally and cutting-wise) since he’s at Crait and facing Luke’s projection. When Luke reveals that he will not be the last Jedi, we cut to a wounded Rey hearing the voices of Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Ahsoka (we remove Mace’s voice, since he never learned how to become a Force ghost), and getting up as she confronts Sidious one more time. When Luke is revealed to be a projection, after Kylo says “NOOO!!!”, we cut to Rey fighting Sidious as she uses the lightsabers to reflect his Force lightning, causing him to disintegrate once and for all.
- Luke lives and Rey dies.
