[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 7881153, member: 6801286"] [B]What I would do in general:[/B] I would write a comprehensive draft of all 3 movies in the trilogy, before starting any filming. I would make sure that any plothooks that are left dangling in the first movie, have an answer to them that are set up and revealed in the last 2 movies and are set in stone. I would also make sure the overal vision of the trilogy as a whole is consistent across all 3 movies. The best way to achieve this would probably be to have the same director for all 3 movies, or to at least have the same writers on all 3 movies and have the director(s) stick to that. I would not let JJ Abrams write anything. He is a great director but a terrible writer. I would also not hire the same writer as Batman V Superman. Get competent writers. I would make sure the second movie properly sets up the events of the third movie. If any new villains need do be introduced, the 2nd movie is the moment to do so. I would not have the main plot revolve around another galactic super weapon. I would do something new. I would make sure that actors that have great chemistry together, also have lots of scenes together throughout the trilogy. I would keep the plot of Rey and Kylo switching sides and keeping them both in the moral gray. Their romance is fine. But I would also give Poe and Finn more to do in the plot. Their character arcs should come to a satisfying conclusion. I would probably keep Snoke as the main villain throughout all 3 movies. If any fans happen to guess the plot of the upcoming movies, I will NOT panic and change the plot because they guessed it correctly. [B]The Force Awakens:[/B] I would take out the Starkiller Base plot and give Luke at least some lines. Everything else is just fine. [B]The Last Jedi:[/B] I would rewrite the Canto Bight plot, so that Finn is actually trying to call for help on the casino planet, by trying to reach an important dish/antenna.
