Getting back to the original question… Star Wars, what would I have done differently?
Well, for starters, in Episode VII, I would have done a little worldbuilding. Specifically how large the First Order is, how large the Republic is, the fact the Resistance is really that tiny, etc.
Also, I probably would have avoided a big spherical planet destroying weapon that can be blown up by a fighter run along a trench.
The big issue with the franchise so far was Solo being released too soon and amidst heavy competition.
Were I looking at that movie I would have focused less on it being the Han Solo origin and more of a prequel that happened to include Solo as part of its ensemble. "The Kessel Job" or something, and really emphasise the heist aspect.
Really, the biggest problem with Star Wars right now isn’t the movies. It’s that China doesn’t give an eff about them. The second biggest box office in the world and Star Wars doesn’t translate. They lack the nostalgia and just don’t care.
Star Wars needs to focus less on big blockbusters and more smaller mid-budget pictures, where they can make a profit just from the national box office.

The dark side temptation to the light is interesting.
Sorry bud, but, you're going to have to drop the analogies. I loathe Game of Thrones, so, have zero idea what you're talking about. Never read any of the EU Star Wars stuff other than the Thrown books some twenty or thirty years ago. Maybe a handful of comic books?
