Unusual <strong>Sequel Trilogy</strong> Radical Redux Ideas Thread

As someone who’s removing Leia being Luke’s sister from the saga, I think it might make sense to replace her death through Force projection with a death via the bridge of the Raddus exploding. It would eliminate both instances of her using the Force in one fell swoop. Then again, maybe there’s nothing wrong with her being Force sensitive. I definitely don’t want her being a Jedi, though, so that flashback has to go.

Exactly. All mentors are contractually obliged to perform a noble sacrifice. And they tend to return in some form. Gandalf (ressurrected because God said so), Dumbledore (meets Harry in purgatory), Obi-Wan (Force ghost), etc… Actually, this makes me realize there is no such figure in Avatar, one of my go-to examples of a fantasy epic like the other three, unless you count that one monk Aang liked who died in the Air Nomad genocide.

What if in TLJ, we intercut between Rey and Kylo for a training montage? Luke teaches Rey Jedi stuff while Snoke tasks Kylo with retrieving a Sith artifact on Mustafar to prove himself. Hell, maybe remove the artifact and have this taking place in Snoke’s garden (hence the trees), with Snoke watching. That way it would look more like training.

<em>Star Wars: The Clone Wars</em> To Return With New Episodes

I know, and as I said it played really loose with its connection to EU material so it doesn’t really matter, but if we were to nitpick, then CW season 7 is technically part of both continuities. CW is such an oddity canon-wise. It is, as you say G-canon, so it trumped all other content, yet it was also made to fit within the time-jump in Tartakovsky’s CW cartoon, hence why season 1 starts with Anakin being a Jedi and why it never intended to show the attack on Coruscant. However, despite being the last part of Legends, it was canonized as the first non-movie content in the new EU and has been treated as the starting point for new animated series. The reason I find this funny is that it’s a canon series that was made to fit within a non-canon series, yet they continued several unresolved arcs in a canon sequel series, which means that the Legends version (regardless of whether season 7 counts) will most likely always be unfinished.

The weirdest part is that without Tartokovsky’s CW, Grievous and Ventress just sorta show up outta nowhere.

What if we ended TFA on the shot of the Resistance watching Rey leave? It allows for the implication of a time jump, confirmed in a modified crawl for TLJ, during which Rey and Chewie search Ach-To for Luke’s island. Ending on this hsot could also allow for better poetry with TPM and ANH, assumign you can emphasize it as celebratory.
