We ca n’t believe this December will score five years sinceThe Force Awakensreleased worldwide . It feel like only yesterday the first instalment of the subsequence trilogy hit dramatics across the globe amid a wave of excitement . AndThe Last Jedicertainly does n’t seem that long ago , either , with that smash hit coming out in 2017 .
But what if we were leave the creative tools to switch both movie ? We ’ll now take a expression at five changes we ’d make for each one .
The Force Awakens: Not A Rehash
Do n’t get us wrong , The Force Awakenswas sure a strong first outing for the sequel trilogy . It was a gravid box office hit , too , with devotee flocking to see what Disney would serve up following the factious prequel trilogy released byGeorge Lucas .
However , perhaps the grownup grievance was it was a tad too alike toA New Hope . A protagonist who has force powers and grew up on a desert planet ? delay . A baddie wear a dark masque and black mantle ? train . A space station getting destroy at the end ? Check . It was all just a shade too safe but , given how the prequels were have , that ’s not necessarily a bad thing .
The Last Jedi: Make Luke Great
Luke Skywalkeronly make a momentary cameo before having a more prominent role inThe Last Jedi . However , Mark Hamill ’s eccentric is drastically dissimilar to the one we see during the original trilogy .
Luke is a grumpy hermit , one reluctant to help Rey and more concerned in the wildlife that the planet of Ahch - To has to pop the question . This in spades eat into with hardcore fans of the saga , many of which were hoping Skywalker would take the fight to the First Order . Throw in the fact Luke tried to kill Kylo Ren and some were utterly umbrageous . Still , at least he somewhat redeem himself by the close …
The Force Awakens: The Original Gang Together
Our braggart complaint of the sequel trilogy is that we did n’t get to see Luke Skywalker , Han Solo and Leia Organa all reunited on the big screen . While Fisher ’s tragic passing was partly behind this , we ca n’t help but feel the trio should have all teamed up properly from the very start .
After all , they ’re what we all paid the price of admission fee to see . We had no theme what the new character would be like but banked on Luke , Han and Leia all being up to the same old stuff as before . Alas it was n’t to be and that , out of everything , is the biggest case of what might have been …
The Last Jedi: Cut Leia Flying Scene
We have sex that Rian Johnson wanted subvert prospect forThe Last Jedi . And he come through at doing that while also shocking fans by having a panorama ofLeia Organaflying through infinite . While it sounds cool on newspaper , the death Cartesian product is anything but .
It just does n’t equip in . It ’s odd . We ’d never seen Leia show anything force - wise before and the view of her soar through blank , slew debris , prompted laughter in some theatres . It also had to be explained inThe raise of Skywalkervia a flashback scene and that should never be the case . Instead , we should have learned more about Leia there and then .
The Force Awakens: Have Maz Explain The Lightsaber
One of the full-grown mystery story ofThe Force Awakenswent unreciprocated on the big screen in the last . In that film , Maz Kanata shows Rey Luke Skywalker ’s honest-to-goodness lightsaber , the one he lost on Bespin during the event ofThe Empire Strikes Back . When quizzed by Han Solo on how she got it , she merely insist it ’s a ‘ question for another time ’ .
Yet we never get the account we ’d been hoping for . And that means that , instead of hold Maz open up another mystery , we ’d get to the bottom of the matter . It ’ll probably be explain via some other media but that is n’t really good enough .
The Last Jedi: Cut (Or Tone Down) Canto Bight
Canto Bight was a planet is unlike anything we ’d ever seen before . A harbour for greed and gluttony , it ’s where some of the wealthiest mass in the galax attend out . It ’s mother a cassino to entertain the masses and , if you ’re into creature cruelty , fathier racing as well .
Yet the scene that take up position there is pointless . Happening at the same time as Kylo Ren and Rey ’s showdown withSupreme Leader Snoke , it trouble from the thing everybody desire to look at most . give Rose and Finn ’s tripper to the satellite is pointless we ’d probably scrap it entirely . Although it was rather skillful to face at …
The Force Awakens: More Captain Phasma
To be fair , this is something we could have say about the intact sequel trilogy . But , make she only pops up in the movie for just two instant , it ’s justifiable to ask for moreCaptain PhasmainThe Force Awakens .
When you ’ve got an A - tilt actress like Gwendoline Christie on board , you ’ve catch to make the most of it . But she was underused in both of the moving-picture show she appeared in before pop off at the hands of Finn . Phasma had a nerveless outfit and seemed deadly with a blaster but we never see the right of her .
The Last Jedi: Keep Supreme Leader Snoke Alive
We really did n’t see the expiry of Supreme Leader Snoke hail . Even after he was cut in half by prentice Kylo Ren we gestate the tall , gangly villain to appear at any minute . However , the credits forThe Last Jedirolled with the bad guy wire very much conk out .
But this was a misunderstanding - and Disney do it it . Knowing Kylo Ren could n’t do work as a standalone villain they decided to bring Emperor Palpatine back from the dead or else - making up a fragile backstory for Snoke in the process . All of that did n’t study and the death of Snoke could easily be take in as the minute the sequel trilogy went wide .
The Force Awakens: Let Rey Lose To Kylo Ren
A paladin needs to experience a few blow before in conclusion redeeming themselves . Take the Avengers , for example . They fall back inAvengers : eternity Warbut bounce back inAvengers : Endgame- do their triumph all the number more solid . It elevates them as case .
But Rey was over - sinewy from the start , with everything she touches turning to gold . She beatsKylo Ren , making her mechanically strong than the First Order villain . This was a error because it also weakened Ben Solo , make water him inferior to his opponent . And if you ’re a big bad guy , that just wo n’t do .
The Last Jedi: Luke And Kylo Physical Fight
We genuinely had goosebumps when Luke Skywalker walk out on Crait to face Kylo Ren . Here it was , master vs apprentice , quick to duel to the death . However , when it was revealed Luke was only a projection , we could n’t aid but finger a little abruptly - change .
After all , we ’d been anticipating a thrilling fight where crimson and blue air would whirl and collide . You could have had Luke sacrifice himself , just as he did , but on the battleground rather than thou of miles away .
