In my Mandalorian style episodes of the sequel trilogy (forever in progress) I have removed the Death Star part 3 from the Force Awakens. Starkiller base is now just a first order base. No planet sized canon, no destruction of the New Republic. I just couldn’t stomach JJ’s lazy rehash of the Death Star plot. So what do to with that footage…
Enter the re-emergence of Palpatine. Being the creator of the Death Star he has the tech, and canons on the new Star Destroyers (better than Starkiller base in my opinion; at least it’s new) Here is a re-thinking of the Empire being reborn from the beginning of Rise of Skywalker utilizing footage and music from the Force Awakens.
