Luke and Leia need to live. I was fine with Han’s death in and of itself, but if this trilogy ends up having our original trio getting knocked off one by one, I’m going to be really upset.

I agree with everyone who’s said they want to see the Resistance getting their hands dirty. When we first got wind of rumors that TFA would have a superweapon, I hoped it would be in the hands of the ostensible good guys. I want to see some tough ends-justifying-means quandaries. Maybe Leia pursues some aim obsessively and becomes more and more ethically compromised and Poe needs to bring her back from the edge.

Right now, only knowing Rey from TFA, I don’t buy her turning to the dark side. There’s plenty of time for that to change, though, so I’m not closed to the idea if it’s earned.

My biggest desire right now is for more information about what happened to the Imperial remnant in the Unknown Regions. A couple of nuEU sources have them retreating to there after the Battle of Jakku, the LFL story group brain trust has hinted that that’s where Snoke originates from, and on a tangentially related note Rebels has linked Kylo’s crossguard lightsaber (which I have a pet theory about involving Snoke) to some Old Republic-era deep history stuff. I don’t think I want everything spelled out, especially if it weighs down the story, but there’s a lot of really tantalizing mythology stuff being hinted at and I’d like at least a little more focus on it.

Also, with all this talk about potential new lightsaber colors for Rey, am I the only one who’s just assumed she’d be keeping the Skywalker saber? Is the idea that Luke’s going to take it back? I know we didn’t see it in the film, but Luke’s still got his green one at the end of ROTJ and in a lot of the concept art for TFA, so I figured he’d keep using that one (I also hope he does, because that’s my favorite saber in the entire saga).
