You know those SW anime openings people make using clips from Galaxy of Heroes? Replace the crawls with those.

This post has given me the brilliant idea of adding the sound of a vacuum cleaner to the end scene in the council chamber, thus explaining the absence of seats.

When Rey buries the lightsabers, she unearths the cloth-wrapped body (mummy?) of Shmi.

Which then springs to undeath and throttles the life out of her, bringing whole new meaning to “The Rise of Skywalker”.

It occurred to my on my last re-watch (last night) that the Lars property has a perfectly good cemetery, but Rey is to lazy to go to it.

That’s an interesting thing that I’ve never heard anyone address. Is it because those Jedi who held those seats died at Geonosis? Obviously Spanky McCone-Head survived…but that wasn’t for sure until ROTS.

Ah, but you fail to take into account that acknowledging this cemetery would validate a small aspect of the prequel trilogy, and would obviously destroy the vast sea of goodwill built with the true fans of which Mister Abrams is a part.

Your statements reek of low class, Millennial entitlement which borders on, dare I say, outright Filoni-ism which actually disgusts me. Please refrain from such uncultured and unthinking observations in the future.

Obi-Wan Force healing Luke back to life is actually a good idea IMO. It explains why he just gives up fighting Vader; he’s already dying anyway. As it stands he just gives up for no reason.

Man, Lucasfilm really needs to cool it with these special editions. I mean, I assume that’s what happened, they must have digitally removed that big pit in the floor separating Obi-wan from the Falcon, right? Because in the movie I have at home, he was caught on the far side of that pit and decided to buy Luke and co a few precious moments to escape.

Oh please. A powerful Jedi like him should have no problem leaping over that chasm.

Have Obi-wan leap over the chasm to survive and escape in the Falcon.

Have Rey be Palpatine’s granddaughter, and he tries to possess her.

Have Palpatine be back with absolutely no explanation.

Give Palpatine a fleet of planet destroying Star Destroyers with absolutely no explanation.

Give Palpatine a bucket of Snoke clones as a reason for Snoke’s existence.

Have Palpatine reveal that killing him will make him win right as Rey is about to kill him.

Have Palpatine change his plan no less than three times.

Have Palpatine’s minion kill Rey’s parents instead of taking them to Sheev for interrogation.

Have Rey’s parents say ‘She’s not on Jakku’ and have this actually work.

Have a scene set on a visually dramatic lava planet but constrain the action to a flat section of burned forest.

Introduce a map mcguffin but have it be found and used immediately by the villain, requiring the introduction of an identical copy of this mcguffin for the heroes to pursue, then a contrived reason for the villain to pursue the heroes instead of just waiting for them to find the second mcguffin and arrive at his location, which is what he wants to do anyway.

Give Chewie a fakeout death but almost immediately reveal that he is still alive.

Give enemy ships a new ability, then concoct a novel way of countering this ability, then cut the scene where all of this is paid off.

Retcon Leia as being basically a Jedi who does practically nothing with these skills for the rest of her life.

Have Leia communicate with Kylo through the Force and help redeem him at the cost of her life, then cut the communication bit so it looks like she dies for no reason.

Have Kylo hallucinate an image of his father, and have this appear to be what redeems him.

Cut Finn’s presence in the film down to ‘Fails to deliver a line’.

Make a point to give the Latino character a background in drug smuggling.

Give Poe a character arc in which he is burdened with the responsibility of leadership then cut any scene where it is displayed.

Give Threepio a complete memory wipe so that he can translate some data which was in his memory.

Trap characters on a doomed planet, but then have those same characters show up later with no explanation for their escape.

Introduce the concept of a ‘Force Dyad’, which means that when Kylo and Rey are together they have the amazing ability to be so strong that their power can be instantly drained from them by Palpatine. Since Kylo is required to be present for this to work, make him arrive on the planet via a standard TIE fighter, one specifically without a hyperdrive.

Cut almost all scenes of the Knights of Ren doing things.

Cut Rose.

Make a point of placing the ruins of the second Death Star on a planet which isn’t Endor, just to confuse people.

Make the most fanatical devotee of the First Order betray this organization because he doesn’t like the way its leader chews his food, or something.

As a symbolic illustration of Luke’s freedom from his exile on a remote island, cut his part to 1(one) scene which is constrained to only this island.

Make the villain’s planet both notoriously hard to get to but also extremely easy to get to by thousands of ships from across the galaxy.

Give the dangerous planet-destroying fleet the small weakness that without constant external guidance they will just crash. Also make their primary weapon unshielded and so poorly made that destroying it will blow up the ship.

Rule the villain’s defeat a suicide due to being very bad at his signature attack.

Set the final scene of the movie on a planet nobody in this universe cares about and has little meaning even to the main character. In fact, cut mention of any well-populated planet and make Bespin and Endor representative of the entire galaxy.

Call the movie which kills all the Skywalkers ‘The Rise of Skywalker’.
