Without changing Rey as the protagonist (You can recast the actress)...

Kill Poe in 7. That's all you have to do.
Ep 8 then doesn't need to find things to do for his fucking bs painful-to-watch character, and is simplified, leading to less of the confusion that caused people to get outraged about it (most of the dumb things people think happened aren't what happened, it's just too 'clever' and complicated in how it tried to put it across, so ineffective).
8 is then not hated and the original third act can go ahead, the 'get' - i.e. Kylo now "unredeemable" is the big bad and defeated by rey being so good that he loves her so much that he stops being bad.
This was the idea for 7,8,9 - the three classical formal acts of a romance story ('the force is female'): the Meet, the Lose, the Get

This but swap tragically with violently and unceremoniously
Maybe a micrometeorite pops a foot wide hole in the Falcon's hull and she gets dismembered as she's sucked through the breach and vented into deep space in pieces

ep7: they should have done stuff that wasn't blow up 3 super death stars back to back. they should have had adventures that weren't "fly around in space". flying is cool, but there is other stuff they could have done. Empire strikes back barely had flying.
They didn't have to burn the kylo/han plot so early, they could have drug it out

Have JJ direct all 3 and actually write out a clear plotline for the entire trilogy instead of fucking winging it
They would still be 3 mediocre movies that play it safe but at least they wouldn't be an atrocious trainwreck where each movie undoes what the previous one did

Go full Lucas autism.
Most would hate it but it would be absolute kino

make her even weaker at the start

Just adapt Legends.

Seething for years over a children's movie because it didn't fit your fan fiction is pathetic.

Give them to Rian Johnson from the get go.

>Ep 8 then doesn't need to find things to do for his fucking bs painful-to-watch character
Rian Johnson is such a fucking retard. He said the original idea was that Poe and Finn were the ones who would go looking for the Code Breaker
Then he said he couldn't think of a way to "make that interesting" because Finn and Poe are friends so there wouldn't be any drama. So he invented Rose just so she could be some kind of foil to Finn, which didn't need to happen

Rian seriously looked at Poe and Finn's chemistry from Ep7 and said "nah I can't work with that, that'll be too boring" and gave us the asian potato instead
He also looked at Hux, the true-believer first order general who was played completely seriously in ep7 and thought
>"When I first saw Hux, I said to myself - there's a lot of potential for humor here!"

honestly just never choosing Rian Johnson to be involved would have improved the trilogy massively

>They didn't have to burn the kylo/han plot so early, they could have drug it out
there was no way Ford was going to do more than one movie
I'm pretty sure he only agreed to do it if they'd kill him off in the first one

Give Rey flaws to make her character more "believable". She's has affinity for the force, but not some genius who can do anything without training. Downgrade her powers or at limit them to specific situational abilities. Lifting giant boulders and floating like a buddha is over-the-top cringy.

The alternative to downgrading her powers is to make her suffer injuries that produce the same result as downgrading her powers.

When a character is perfect in everything, the story becomes extremely boring.

(Not mine but totally agree with everything posted)

She doesn't instantly know how to fly the Falcon better than Han does.

Han shows her how and she has an immediate aptitude for the work, and they bond, which is why she sees him as a father figure instead of the literal nothing we got in TFA.

Kylo beats Finn's dumb ass and Rey's too, Rey "wins" they fight via an emotional force outburst that throws Kylo into the pit, which hints at her enormous potential.

Luke actually trains her in 8, not as a Jedi but to help her control her unintentional outbursts of power. They part ways for the same reason, but he's trained her enough to where she's able to stand her own against Kylo and Snoke's guards. The moment at the end where she rescues the resistance is a more kino moment that we related to a final lesson she didn't pass because she didn't understand, but does in that moment to become a fully fledged Jedi.

Leia helps Rey complete her training. There's a larger timeskip between 8 and 9 (like there was between 5 and 6) to justify an increase in her ability. We see her force healing at the start of the movie instead of it cropping up spontaneously - it's something she's discovered with Leia and has mastered.

The force lightning nonsense we can keep as a hint regarding her heritage, but the rest is the same. She faces Sidious as a fully recognized Jedi armed with the teaching of her masters.

>he said he couldn't think of a way to "make that interesting" because Finn and Poe are friends so there wouldn't be any drama
have poe be the one to catch finn trying to run away
easy

Recast Rey, recast Finn, recast Poe, recast Kylo. Dont do stupid shit with the screenplay (easy). Dont change snokes appearance and actually make him plaguis or a lasting, important sith in the main story.

Yeah but then he wouldn't have a reason to insert some stupid avatar of his high school crush.

reminder that the titty sloth was a practical puppet and they had to helicopter-lift it to and from skellig island
in the making of documentary rian is told they could just do it in cgi and save a lot of time and money but he said no
he felt the scene was so important that it required the titty sloth to feel real in the environment
all told, the titty sloth milking scene probably cost a few million dollars

What would generate more of a reaction from the audience? A tragic death where Rey gets killed after being built up as the hero for the whole film or a abrupt death where she's violently killed out of nowhere when it seems like she's got the upper hand?

The titty sloth is the key to this. He's a more disgusting character than we ever had. If we get the titty sloth working...

kek you don't know how close you are, in the making-of he's legitimately standing in the rain looking at the sloth puppet and he's like
>it looks so good, it looks so real! you can actually see the rain on it, this is great. I'm glad we did it this way, even if it was a little harder. This is gonna be fantastic
like, he was so proud of it

Rey died because she's an ugly character at the end and Kylo lived

I would recast Rey and put Ana de armas. maybe if rey was sexy she would be nicer and less hated by the fandom

No
Kylux is better

Who cares what the audience does, I just want to see Daisy Ridley get gibbed and her chunked remains flushed like cosmic trash 35 minutes into the movie, with no build up or fanfare

Put her in Jedi Academy where Luke is the headmaster. Then she works her way up to being a great Jedi instead of having everything handed to her.

Moot point now tho, innit?

MY TFA!

> Opens with Luke finding Rey (after we follow her scavenger routine for a bit) and recruiting her to join his Jedi temple, him having heard rumors of a force user on Jakku.
> They return to his temple only to find it destroyed & burning, most of the students massacred. Ben Solo's body is not among the dead.
> Luke contacts Han and tells him to meet him with Leia at Coruscant the capital of the New Republic. We get to see what our heroes created after the original trilogy.
> He breaks the news to them and enlist Han to help him find who did this & find Ben if he is still alive. He privately confides in Han a fear that Ben may have been complicit in the massacre but Han dismisses it.
> The 3 eventually confront a masked silent Kylo Ren whom Luke duels and "defeats" but is horrified as believing he recognizes his fighting style as being that of Bens. Han begins to have doubts.
> During this encounter we see some of it from the POV of Stormtrooper Finn working reluctantly under Kylo.
> Kylo kidnaps Rey after seeing her use the force.
> Finn sees her being tortured by Kylo but she barely manages to turn the tables on him using the force. Finn frees her.
> Luke and Han find their way to a giant Starship factory revealing that the First Order have indeed been creating new weapons in spite of their treaty with the New Republic (leia expected such)
> Finn & Rey manage to send a warning to the New Republic about a First Order attack. Leia manages to get enough ships in defensive positions to result in a brutal but indecisive battle. Much collateral damage is wrought upon the capital city on Coruscant.
> Luke makes his way on to the lead First Order ship and slaughters the deck crew in a sequence similar to R1's Vader moment & sets the ship to collide with another before escaping.
> Han confronts Kylo who reveals himself to be Ben. Ends the same way as the real film.
> Rey duels Kylo to a stand still & the First Order is forced to retreat.

Alternate!

> E7 opens with Kylo massacring Luke's Jedi Temple while Luke is off planet, no Knights of Ren, just Kylo alone as a true Vader style avatar of death.
> Rey is a student of Lukes who Kylo is unable to locate during the massacre.
> Rey was found by Storm trooper Finn who refuses to kill her & instead helps her escape the burning temple alive.
Rest of the film is...
> Rey/Finn on the run from Kylo as a major subplot.
> Main plot is Luke & Han trying to find Ben who wasn't among the pile of his student's bodies. Luke believes the massacre may be Ben's handiwork but Han refuses to entertain the notion.
> Flashbacks from Rey/Luke of training alongside Ben. Flashbacks from Han showing the New Republic that was built after the original trilogy, him & Leia petitioning the senate of the New Republic to take the First Order as a serious threat & Leia being ostracized for it.
> Last Act - Luke discovering that his sister was right about the First Order building a galaxy threat sized imperial fleet (no starkiller) while rescuing the captured Rey/Finn. Han confronting the masked Kylo as we got in TFA, demanding he face his father like a man. Same result. Luke & Kylo have a extended duel ends in a stalemate.
> Ends with Luke coming to Leia to break the truth to her about her son, what he did to Han and the fact that she was right about the First Order.

I would have thought of a coherent story for the first film and what the plot for the three films was going to be
I wouldn't have just made it up as I went

>a faction in the Imperial Remnant wants to restart the war, a pro-peace treaty Moff sends a lone ship to try to warn Republic officials
>the ship is intercepted in the border region between the Remnant and Republic
>an escape pod is launched before being captured/self destructing
>its a repeat and inversion of the opening of A New Hope geddit?
>long range Republic probe ship monitoring the border detects this
>Navy Intelligence dismisses this as a failed defection, nothing more. Senator Organa isn't so sure. She asks her brother to look.
>Master Skywalker HAS A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS and decides to go himself, taking 2 or 3 apprentices with him.
>on the planet they find Imperial Officer Lt Rey entrusted by the ships captain with the data on the pro-war factions plans. She scoffs at her rescue party, quoting Imperial doctrine on the Jedis sorcerous ways.
>and Imperials too searching for her.
>and in a big twist it turns out the Sith have returned and are directing the pro-war faction.
>this encounter prompts the very war people were attempting to prevent to in fact begin, like the Greeks Lucas tries to cite.
voila you can figure out the rest
Cast Shatner as pro-peace Moff

TFA - young Rey being trained at the Jedi Academy with Kylo Ren by Grandmaster Luke Skywalker, movie ends with Kylo burning down the academy & killing most of the people in it
TLJ - Time skip, Luke is missing, Rey is living on a desert planet & the empire is back being lead by Kylo Ren, movie ends with Darth Plagueis being revealed as the mastermind behind the Empire controlling Kylo's actions, Finn dies
RoS - Plagueis turns Rey to the dark side at the first half of the movie all hope seemingly lost, Luke comes out of exile finally and has to fight his two students from the first movie

Find a flaw

Adam Driver and Laura Harrier would be perfect for a remake of bodyguard

Star Wars?

This is better than the shit jj wrote

>doesnt know "Jedi" is plural and singular

>Luke kills Rey
>Luke kills Kylo
>No hope left for the Jedi lineage
>The dark side wins
Would this be a satisfying ending to the Star Wars canon?

The problems with the sequel trilogy is that these faggots and feminists who wrote it hate "white savior" stories thus the "Skywalker Saga" was fucking tainted from the start.

Look what they did to look in the sequels....now compare that to look in the previous canon/legends material.

They turned him into ineffectual cucklord who hid and drank blue milk. GET IT BLUE!

Fix the sequels? With Rey? She becomes co-protag with Luke. Simple. Shes a nobody fuck that "muh family" cockteasing they did thru out the movie.

Episode 7
>Luke out doing Jedi shit. maybe destroying some darkside creature in a sith temple on a whatever planet.

Unironically would have been the best movie trilogy ever

Episode 8

>More epic fights
>oh shit new sith to be revealed to a clone of yoda? cuz fuck you

>Keep Episode 7 functionally the same.

>In Episode 8, show the Resistance fleeing and Rey splitting off on her own within the first 15 minutes. Cut out Finn/Holdo/Poe/Canto Bight and have the main plot be Luke/Rey training, the side plot be Kylo and Rey connecting through the force, and have the third plot establish Kylo and Snoke's dynamic/backstory as well as a more detailed flashback of Ben Solo's fall for greater context. Keep Snoke's thrown room scene completely the same. After Rey escapes and rendezvous with the Falcon, have her respond to the resistance distress signal and save the day with the Millennium Falcon. You can keep a vast majority of the third arc the same. You can still easily establish that the Rebels are cornered on the Salt planet, you just skip all of the boring/bad exposition from the first two thirds of the movie as well as Holdo's suicide attack. You can also keep Luke's astral projection/death the same

Have Episode 9 take place after a longer timeskip. rework the plot completely from the ground up. No Sheev revival, but Leia can stay as Rey's new teacher. Both sides have grown in strength and have been having a clone wars tier war that has destabilized most of the galaxy. Rey is a fully realized Jedi Knight, commanding Resistance forces as a general. Kylo is Supreme Commander of the first order, but is becoming less interested in the war/galactic control and becomes more interested in turning Rey. Finn and Poe return for more prominent roles, the A plot mostly focuses on the three of them trying to end the war. This throws the EU a bone and allows for a more workable canon for side stories/supplemental material both pre and post Episode 8. The B plot will obviously be Rey and Kylo's dyad connection and the final climax will involve an Episode III tier duel between Rey and Kylo that ultimately ends with Rey breaking through and redeeming Ben Solo. There is a post credit scene that teases the actual whills

Episode 9
>solo son and rey out doing some stupid mission like save a furry dude from bounty hunters cuz they do shit like that in star wars

Then do another movie or show about her being evil. GG

No more Rey, even your idea is horrible. You want a kino idea? Ok Rey died, end.

They are clearly incapable of developing characters so just go with the ones they had without killing them. Especially Luke.

They OP said you gotta keep rey as a protag otherwise id have killed her first movie act one. idk an ewok rapes her to death idc

I would have the first movie plot rip off Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Han Solo would be forced into retirement but called into action to uncover conspiracy to make Republic build giant superships ships and then steal them.
Snoke would be Luke's treacherous apprentice who got him stuck on a remote planet and maybe badly wounded or something.
Kylo Ren being Ben Solo would actually be a twist, and he would actually have meaningful motivation (Believing Republic is weak or something)
Finn would not be some kind of janitor but would be a force user brainwashed by Snoke, but would break his conditioning on his first mission.
Luke failed not because he wanted to stab a guy, but because he didn't want to confront Snoke over his planned betrayal.

force sensitive finn, rey turns to dark side, luke confronts and redeems kylo with his death, kylo trains finn, finn confronts rey, rey redemption

I would have Snoke and Luke be colleagues, not master and apprentice. Shortly after ROTJ Luke went out looking for ancient jedi artifacts and knowledge to help him rebuild the order. Runs into Snoke out in the unknown regions.
Snoke presents himself as a kindred spirit in seeking the truth of the force, works his way into Luke's confidence, and then betrays him much later after they restart the order together.
Leaves him stranded on a planet like you said, and returns to run the new order they built together by himself, but now letting his actual dark teachings come out.
Lies and says Luke was the one who betrayed him, etc. Says Luke is actually dead. Young Ben Solo gets corrupted blah blah blah

So we end up in the same place but Snoke is a more fleshed out character and Ben has a better reason to be misguided and "seduced" rather than what we got.

Horrible idea, dude

Just give lucas full control i like his autism with the lore

Not a argument

Also, this sets up Kylo's eventual betrayal of Snoke because he doesn't know Luke is still alive until the events of TFA start unfolding, in turn making him question everything Snoke ever taught him but not really being in a position to confront him about it yet
Learns of Rey, sees she's strong in the force, wants to get her on his side so they can kill Snoke together and actually do this whole jedi order business properly for once

Let my man Finn LAY PIPE

easy rabbi

apparently his ideas were really out there
he planned to double-down on things like midichlorians, whatever the "whills" are, and something about a microsopic world of the force
he even said it might be like Osmosis Jones in some way

nudist

i know. it would've been fucking glorious even though 90% of the normie audience would've hated it.

Kyle Katarn

making that movie would have destroyed the franchise meaning thereby preventing something like the MCU from ever happening. thats where the timelines shifted bro
