To someStar Warsfans , J.J. Abrams’Star Wars : The boost of Skywalkermight have been a hugger-mugger mess , but it turns out that Colin Trevorrow ’s proposedStar Wars : Duel of the Fatesmay not have been any more coherent . HisEpisode IXwas altercate after creative differences with Disney and Lucasfilm cause him to exit involvement in the Disney Sequel Trilogy , but some of the more succinct details found there fashion into Abrams ' film .
From introducing heaps of young characters into an already crowded narrative space , to sending heroes and baddie hopping all over the wandflower on a series of side quests , there are aspects to Trevorrow ’s hand -leaked months after his departure- that extend the credulity of even the most patient fan .
The Spire Of Osis
In Trevorrow ’s script , Finn , Rose , Poe , and Rey are on the hunt for friend still loyal to the Resistance , and their deputation takes them to Coruscant , the home planet of the First Order , once the nucleus of the Galactic Empire , and former Das Kapital major planet of the Republic .
Their target is to light an ancient beacon in the Jedi Temple to call for aid . Just where has this beacon been the entirety of the Skywalker Saga?Why was it never mentioned by the Jedi Council , and what makes the paladin think the galaxy would automatically heed that sort of call to arm when they would n’t react to General Organa ’s call for help ?
Destroying The Orbital Ring
In the purpose film there ’s an Orbital Ring above the Kuat Moon that acts as a giant fueling post for all the First Order ’s Star Destroyers in the sector . Rose hatches a plan to detonate it , destroy their means of obtaining fuel as well as the ship themselves .
While that would be an straightaway boon for the Resistance , " The First Order is everywhere " according to the motion picture ’s scuttle crawl , so blowing up a 12 destroyers and a fueling place would n’t be enough to terminate them any more than blowing up Starkiller Base .
General Hux Committing Sepukku
General Hux was inaugurate as a extremely memorable character inStar war : The Force Awakens . resemble a untested Tarkin from the Empire ’s aureole days , he was an entertaining balance of snide and pitiless . He was a unseasoned officer willing to do whatever it took to affect Supreme Leader Snoke , but suffered greatly from being bump to mediate - management after Snoke died inStar Wars : The Last Jedi .
Interestingly enough , Hux would have been made Chancellor inStar Wars : Duel of the Fates , a plot point that strangely implies there was a Senate to still preside over . Trevorrow also had him committing sepukku after losing a climactic battle against ally forces , which does n’t seem nearly as in - character reference as him charge suicide by hubris on the bridge of a dreadnought .
Class Uprising
One of the enceinte parts of Trevorrow ’s scriptinvolved Finn would locatking several factions of First Order defectors , as well as x - stormtroopers sympathetic to the Resistance . He would precede a revolution with their vox populi through the streets , in which their triumph would affect ordinary people .
While it can be argued Star Wars films do n’t always show the " plight " of the average people amidst the great battles , the first Star Wars film featured a young farmboy whinging about never getting to do anything exciting . The Skywalker saga has always been about " ordinary " people doing extraordinary things , but it ’s also been a account about an epic Force - using dynasty , so for Trevorrow to derail that with a reading ofStar warfare : Les Miserablesseems pedantic .
No Romance Between Rey and Kylo Ren
The cellular inclusion of a romance between the light side ’s newest hero and the dark side ’s previous subjection was factious whenStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalkerwas released . Some fans feel it was an organic result of the interpersonal chemistry between Rey and Kylo Ren , while others feel it was forced and cumbersome .
, which would have reduced their character development well . Kylo would only have been reduced to " wanting more big businessman " , and Rey to " contain him " . The conflict of the Skywalkers has always been defined by the familial , and the struggle between Rey and Ren ’s forbidden making love became something new and divergent .
Leia Receiving More Screen Time
As much as fans would have roll in the hay to see Leia Organa for a much longer amount of prison term inStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalker , what they did get to see was a touching tribute and sufficiently weave into the overall plot of the cinema .
Star war : Duel of the Fateswould have included a much big part for her , which would have been next to impossible to showcase respectfully given her death in 2016 . devotee would n’t have require to see their preferred character rendered irresponsibly for a quick loss , even ifLeia was get to re-emerge in her classic white outfitfrom the original trilogy .
Kylo Wanting To Kill Rey
Similar to inStar Wars : The upgrade of Skywalker , Kylo Ren finds the Sith Holocron / Sith Wayfinder , but it does n’t allow him to full absorb all of its knowledge because it senses the good in him . He define he must obliterate Rey to become truly dark enough to get at it .
Kylo ’s continued quest to be"the Sithiest Sith to ever Sith"would have gotten boring if not for greater subtext and deepness . Kylo Ren asking Rey to bring together him nicely paralleled Vader ’s appeal to Luke Skywalker , and further cemented the conception of the cycle of destiny . Besides , him putting on a very " Darth Vader inspired masquerade " in Trevorrow ’s book only to scream that Vader " cloud his judgment " is a puzzling slice of character development .
The Introduction Of 2 New Powerful Dark Side Users
Star Wars : Duel of the Fateswould have premise two young blue side users that had never before been seen or remark in the Skywalker Saga ; Sollony Ren and Tor Valum . Ren would have been a Zabrak ( like Darth Maul ) , second in command of the Knights of Ren , and the main baddie of the film after trying to slip the Sith Holocron from Kylo .
Tor Valum would have been a 7,000 class old Sith -and former passe-partout of Palpatine’s- who was somehow never mentioned by Palpatine and the unexampled mentor of Kylo . The presence of these uber potent dark side drug user would have made the film even more crowded and confusing , especially without any context .
Poe Flying A Star Destroyer And A Dreadnought
After ignite the ancient radio beacon on at the Jedi Temple to attract friend to the Resistance , Poe , Rey , and Finn have to regain a way to get off Coruscant . grant to Trevorrow ’s script they steal an empty Star Destroyer and proceed to make the jumping to lightspeed .
Sometime later the script reference that Poe is " struggling to aviate the dreadnought " , imply the destroyer and dreadnought are interchangeable damage , but either room it filter credulity thatPoe could " fell anything " ; even Anakin Skywalker , one of the most powerful Force users in astronomic history had difficulty bringing in the Chancellor ’s ship inStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sith .
The Amount Of Side Quests
Some fan thoughtStar Wars : The rising of Skywalkerwas too convoluted upon its exit , but Trevorrow ’s moving-picture show would have been just as overly - saturate with side quest . Rose take in charge her own mission to the Kuat shipyard , Finn lead his own uprising , Poe travels back to his homeworld , and they all assay to come up the Spire of Osis , Lando , and Resistance allies .
In the meantime , there is more training for Rey from Luke the Force shade , Kylo Ren ’s planet - hop excursion from Mustafar to Mortis to find the Sith holocron , all while the struggle rages on Coruscant . While it would have been nice to see each character have their own mission , there would have been too many on the loose threads to tie up .
