Any thoughts on an edit of The Force Awakens that finishes off the story with one film? Snoke would need to be removed and Kylo would be implied to die in the Starkiller explosion. I just don’t know how to wrap up the Luke cliffhanger in a satisfying way
I don’t know if you really can. There’s no real complete arc to any of the characters in that film, except Kylo. I think it would be easier to integrate some TFA scenes into TLJ to make a standalone film.
