Minor edits go!TFA - this is an unambitious film that works splendidly despite it's modest derivative aim. So only minor changes.1. Include scenes on the Republic capital on Hosnian Prime (some where actually shot, I believe).2. Have the destruction of said capital being broadcast to the galaxy, not visible to the naked eye. The FO shoots its on the day of a big public ceremony christening the new New Republic fleet. God that was easy.3. Show the Kyber crystal core of Starkiller Planet. That would be cool.4. Have the plan be to the shatter said crystal core. The ground team's job would be to disable the weapons array along the 3000 mile long tunnel leading to the core.5. Either Finn and Rey or Finn and Poe kiss at the end (I'm a sucker for love stories!).TLJ - overall, this is a very well constructed movie, but if had to tweak it.1. Reframe the slow-speed space chase so it more explicitly mirrors the Falcon's escape from Hoth in ESB. The FO has an Interdictor (sp?) class destroyer. It's preventing the Resistance fleet from jumping to hyperspace. Sublight chase ensues.2. Change Finn's story so it's unambiguous he's not running away. He tries to steal an X-wing, maybe?3. Replace Canto Bight with someplace more visually interesting. Finn, Rose, and Poe take one of the only hyperdrive shuttles (mirror scene in ESB where the Falcon pretends to be trash) to Nar Shadaa to rescue a trapped Maz, who can then break them onto the Interdictor ship so they can sabotage it.4. Keep the same themes as Canto Bight, but lose the space horses and FX-heavy scenes. Replace with caper-movie wretched hive of scum and villainy banter. Bonus points: introduce Poe's shady background here.5. DJ is a criminal on Nar Shadaa. Helps them get Maz and get out. Arrested later by FO and rats them out.6. Holdo's plan is the same. Sublight crawl to Crait. When 'true fans' bitch, point out this is the same as the Falcon traveling to Bespin.7. Finn, Rose, and Maz break onto FO ship after dropping Poe off onto the Raddus to mutiny, badly.8. Last act the same. Because it's nearly perfect!RoS - not the movie I would have made, so I can't think of much.1. Slow the first 30 or so minutes down. I swear JJ filmed it at 24 scenes per second.2. Actually follow a group of the heroes rallying the galaxy, instead of fetch-questing. It's amazing how well the Not Fleet, People scene worked given how barely it was set up.3. Give Rose more scenes. Also, Finn-Rose-Rey-Poe love triangle (maybe).</blockquote>
