This sounds like an awesome idea. Ascendant brought things much closer to what I’d consider to be the ideal version of this movie but some of the stuff that you’re talking about such as stripping out Leia and reining things in to be a little more intimate and a more thematically appropriate send-off to the Skywalker saga sounds really cool. What crippled Episode IX to me very much was how it was clear this was supposed to be Leia’s movie and how unfortunately Carrie Fisher’s passing not only I’d say messed up Trevorrow’s vision for the film but couple that with the rushed production with Abrams and the stubborn refusal to accept that this story just can’t be as much about Leia as it was supposed to be and it hampered this movie big time so this one I will definitely be keeping a close eye on.
