Any ideas on how to keep Ben alive?
“as I once fell, so will the last Skywalker” is depressingly anticlimactic considering the title of the film.
I’ve also been thinking about that. It’s not a big deal for me, but I still wonder if it could be done.
Just like I posted for removing Rey Palpatine, here are the top 3 suggestions I think could work:
-
Leia resurrects Ben after the healing scene, using the footage of her body disappearing.
-
Ben has no consequences for healing Rey, matching how the power was shown the previous times it was used.
-
Cut Ben rising out of the pit, but add him to the Tatooine scene to confirm he survived the fall.
I think Option 1 is by far the best, and someone on YouTube already posted a rough edit of it:

I like the idea, but I wonder if it could be executed well. Even in that video, the reused shots are somewhat obvious.
