I’ve been thinking about if there’s a way to move the Exegol action to Coruscant. After all, it’s a pretty boring planet (like all planets in Abrams SW…which is strange, considering how striking Nibiru was in Star Trek Into Darkness), and having the action take place on Coruscant would tighten up the Saga nicely. That said, you’d have to radically restructure the film, since there’s no way the wild goose chase to Palpatine is gonna lead to the capital of the Galaxy. I’m thinking Kylo instead finds Palpatine on Endor (allowing us to feature RLM’s Ewok death cult) and takes him to a First Order stronghold where he spends the rest of the film. The Sith dagger’s inscriptions would lead group not the wayfinder, but to Palpatine himself, although they are too late. This is probably all too difficult to achieve and riddled with plot holes, now that I think about it, but the point stands:

We. Need. Coruscant!
