Would it be possible to have Luke not ignite his green lightsaber on Kylo? I have seen some impressive edits of this on YouTube where the green glow is removed from Kylo and his eyes. Kylo wakes up, sees Luke hovering with his lightsaber out and looking distraught, and then Ben “turns on him” and Luke defends. I think this will help greatly to “re-characterize” Luke in the film and make Ben’s decision more his own. The whole “pulling a weapon on my unarmed nephew” is still something a lot of fans struggle with.

As much as I disagree with the concept of Luke thinking about killing Ben, it has to stay. It’s supposed to show him making a mistake that results in Ben’s fall. The change I would suggest is make it seem more “instinctual,” since the visuals frame it as Luke consciously slowly pulling out the lightsaber, standing there and igniting it, as much as I disagree with Rian’s notion that Luke is instinctively murderous, too.

Since Snoke=Palpatine, is it possible to remove his mention of bridging their minds? If Palpatine was controlling Snoke then why would their connection be a surprise?! Removing Snoke inconsistences is key to making a more cohesive trilogy

Snoke is not really a VR headset for Palpatine to play on, he’s more of his own person who listens to Palpatine.

THE SACRED JEDI TEXTS!!! I think the lines between Yoda/Luke, “ahh, read them have you? Page turners they were not!” Needs to go. It makes Luke seem like he didn’t even read/study the books, but then in TROS we find out Luke did study them and annotated them. I suggest, “Luke: The Sacred Jedi Texts! Yoda: Yes, yes. Wisdom they held…”

This helps us accept the notion that Rey apparently learned Force heal from the books.
