[QUOTE="Bawylie, post: 7880864, member: 6776133"] Lots of good ideas here. Nice. 7: get the OT cast reunited in one scene by the end of the film. Finding Luke can be the goal, but they either bring him to the resistance or show up on the Island. Either way, reunite these cats. The harder we hit the nostalgia notes here, the more liberty we have going forward. (Han lives, until next film). 8: Luke still tosses his lightsaber when offered. But like in episode 6. Explains the Jedi way to turn from violence and hate. He didn’t try to smoke Kylo over a bad dream. He simply failed to reach Kylo the way he reached Vader and Kylo turned because Snoke was grooming him. Rey still trains and touches the dark side. Sees her mirror images, etc. Cut Canto Bight. I like Morrus’ suggestion upthread about spycraft. Kylo kills both Leia (in his tie fighter - cut space-flying leia) and Han (scene from 7) to complete Snoke’s training. Killing Snoke at the end makes him a Sith. Maybe Palpatine’s voice urges Kylo to find P on the promise of unlimited power. Luke dies in a standoff against the first order, as already shot to give the New Trilogy team and resistance a chance to escape. 9: Kylo and Rey race to find Palpatine. Kylo, to take unlimited power, Rey to stop him from a final turn to evil. Palpatine is dead - his body mechanically and artificially kept functioning but immobile. It’s just a vessel for his malevolent will. “Strike me down and you shall become more powerful than any can imagine!” He’s been waiting for a perfect vessel - Kylo - to possess, subverting the Sith tradition of betrayal and finding a way to cheat death (his saga-long ambition). New Trilogy team attempts to find Palpatine also. They go to Camino and Mustafar. See that P was experimenting with clones and force sensitive infants to attempt to creat a host. Rey might even be a potential one. Maybe bioengineered and implanted but her parents hid her on her desert planet and got aced by P’s agents. Rey believes she’s in a lose-lose scenario. Strike down P and get possessed by P. Strike down Kylo and get possessed by P. She quits and goes to Luke’s island. At that point Luke’s ghost shows up and we get some “is P really my father?” And Luke responds that no, Rey is Luke’s father. She’s the reincarnation of the chosen one. The will of the force. Here to bring balance. That’s why she’s so good with the force in the first place, why she found Anakin’s saber, why she saw infinite versions of herself. She’s reincarnated, and not for the first time. But she needs to find a way to win without murder. So they go have a showdown. Kylo gets Palpatine’s powers and goes ape with it. There’s a lightsaber battle Rey loses it but tosses her lightsaber aside; exorcises Palpatine and she and Kylo use the force to return P’s Sith spirit to the force. Kylo can die redeemed or he can live while Rey disappears. Either way. OT cast and Kylo’s force ghosts appear at the end. [/QUOTE]
