Prior to J.J. Abrams carry over as director forEpisode IXand deliveringStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalkerto queasy fans , Colin Trevorrow ( Jurassic World)was set to put the capstone on the Skywalker Saga . Creative deviation cited by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy led to Trevorrow parting way with the Disney Sequel Trilogy , but his handwriting leaked in the calendar month that followed and fan got a taste of what they might have seen if his film had fall to fruition .
While there are some fans who believe his version ofEpisode IXwould have righted many ofThe Rise of Skywalker’swrongs , it was by no mean value a staring film . For every meaningful addition it made to the character reference arc of sports fan favorite , it surcharge something from new heroes and villains by premise too many idea . Some construct could have made it the perfectStar Warsfinale , but others would have made it even more of a loser .
Perfect Finale: Made Leia A More Prominent Character
As one of the last support members ofthe powerful Skywalker line , Leia deserved a grand send off as well as the luck to be an integral column in what would be the final fight against the First Order . Trevorrow ’s hand included a large part for Leia that would have made her a vital operative in the plan think by Rose , Finn , Poe , and Rey .
Leia would have also given Rey the emotionally eviscerating orders to vote out her boy Kylo Ren , which would have made her story an even more tragically dramatic one .
Would Fail: Introducing Too Many New Characters
Instead of focusing on providing closure for the numerous characters already in need of climactic final chapters , the film would have introduced several new characters who would only suffice as plot devices and add to the confusion .
A scrappy 11 yr old orphan named Dade would conduct a revolution of " Rustics " alongside Finn to combat the First Order in the streets of Coruscant , while another dark side user named Sollony Ren would compete for the situation of most sinewy Sith against Kylo Ren .
Perfect Finale: Unveiling Origins Of Several Prime Characters
While it might have seemed singular to fans to see the origins of prominent characters in the final chapter , the promise of finally pick up answer to their whodunit was part of the grounds they go along watching Disney ’s Sequel Trilogy .
Trevorrow ’s film would have last admit the public figure andbackstories of all the Knights of Ren , as well as centre on Poe ’s homeworld and explained his familial history . Rey would have finish up being " no one " , rather than an famous family ’s progeny .
Would Fail: Create More Plotholes
Kylo Ren would have trip to Mustafarin Trevorrow ’s script , where he would haunt the corridor of Vader ’s palace and fare upon a message from Palpatine directing his learner to rail with his former master copy in the result of his demise ( obviously he would n’t have predicted Vader caused it ) .
Palpatine ’s master was Darth Plagueis , so introducing a young sea captain would have made his beingness tough . It would have also present an even more potent fiber than Palpatine to the film canon , Tor Valum , 7,000 year honest-to-goodness Lovecraftian monster .
Perfect Finale: Including More Jedi and Sith From Previous Films
In dividing line toStar Wars : The ascent of Skywalker , Rey would n’t have battle Emperor Palpatine , but a dark side drug user called Sollony Ren . Aiding her in the climactic battle would have been the Force ghosts of Luke , Obi - Wan , and Yoda . The presence of fall Jedi would not only have tied into the earlier films but made for a compelling last lightsaber duel .
Rey also would n’t have been the only person to have a Force imaginativeness . Kylo Ren would have face off against the specter of Darth Vader while stalk the anteroom of Vader ’s castle on Mustafar , providing a confrontation fans had been hope to see between the Dark Lord of the Sith and his most ardent fan .
Would Fail: Give No Closure For Principle Characters
Star Wars : Duel of the Fateswould have substantially ameliorate the arcs of Rose Tico and Finn , two characters who were both built up to be built-in parts of Disney ’s Sequel Trilogy . Unfortunately , other principle characters like Kylo Ren , Rey , and General Hux would have receive no closure .
Kylo Ren would still have go after continuously lusting for power , with no redemption and no afterlife as a Force touch ( and noBen Sologood son sweater ) . Rey would have spent the entire film attempt to " stop him " , finally pour down him for slay her parent . General Hux would have been waste a terminal time and committed self-destruction over a tactical licking by Finn and Poe .
Perfect Finale: Rey Would Start A Jedi Academy
The conclusion of the photographic film would center on Rey decide to open a Jedi Academy , withFinn and Poebringing her a variety of Jedi potentials who fought alongside the Resistance to take down the First Order . One of them would have been " broom boy " fromStar Wars : The Last Jedi .
Rey would teach from the Jedi text , with Luke ’s Force spectre occasionally appear to guide her way of life . It would have given her character purpose and significance , as well as made possible the restoration of the Jedi Order .
Would Fail: Lack Of Real Villain
By introducing a random dark side user like Sollony Ren -with no anterior ties to any fictional character in the Sequel Trilogy- into the climactic struggle between the light side and sorry side , the last chapter in the Skywalker Saga would feel garbled . likewise , the inclusion of another ancient Sith like Tor Valum without any prior family relationship to principle characters would feel like an odd villain for the heroes to face .
Whatever fan think of the inclusion of Emperor Palpatine , whether as a crutch or unimaginative writing , his presence allowed Snoke ( a previously random character ) to have a ground for existing , tied into every film in the Skywalker Saga , and provide a suitably heroic opposition to the celluloid ’s climax .
Perfect Finale: Better Fate For Luke
One of the biggest problem that fans had withStar state of war : The Last Jediwas the wildly diverging enactment of Luke Skywalker , who for some long in the original trilogy had been a symbol of altruism , integrity , and loyalty . He was suddenly narrow - minded , negativist , and bitter .
Star Wars : Duel of the Fatessaw Luke take in former drafts of Trevorrow ’s script never decease , effectively ret - bunco his death inThe Last Jedi , and in the last interpretation appearing as a Force ghost many timesto both Rey and Kylo Ren .
Would Fail: Introducing Too Many New Elements
In the finale that needed to cease all finales and enwrap up the total Skywalker Saga , too many new elements could n’t have bee insert without reduce the impact . WhileStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalkermay have seemed unimaginative to some , its dislocation allowed for a passably elongate plot flight .
Trevorrow ’s script put in a number of side quests ( Canto Bight all over again ) , new interpretations of the Force , 2 newfangled Sith , and a civil uprising on Coruscant all while dropping key concepts like Kylo Ren ’s repurchase bow to duplicate Darth Vader ’s , and the estimation that a " Skywalker " can be anyone .
