Have a point to her entering the dark hole, leading to either a wise lesson about the Force, or some dark revelation about herself.Remove the entire fake out with Holdo. Let the rebels be up front about their plan to escape to the planet Crait, so that Poe and Finn don't not mount some unnecessary suicide plan that ultimately doesn't go anywhere. Let the First Order be aware that they are fleeing to Crait, and be confident that they can crush them on that planet. There's really no way for them to escape from it, so the place is a death trap.Holdo still crashes her ship into the First Order, but she does it as soon as possible, so the rest can escape to the planet. This way she doesn't look incompetent.Leia should have died in outer space. I have no issue with her using her Force powers to float to safety. But with the recent death of Carrie Fisher, they had an easy out here. Why didn't they take it? Why have the character whose actress died, survive, and the character whose actor is still alive and well, die?Instead of having Finn and Rose go to the Casino planet to find some hacker, and then also try and board the Dreadnought unnoticed, have them travel to the Casino planet to activate a distress beacon. It would be easy to set it up in such a way that the First Order is blocking rebel communication, so they can't call for help. Finn and Rose need to get down to the planet to remotely activate a distress beacon that will hopefully get reinforcements to Crait in time. Why over complicate things? The First Order however has a heavy presence on the Casino planet, thus adding extra tension to Finn's adventures on the planet. Throw in a battle with some AT ST walkers while you're at it, and you have everything for an exciting finale.Rey and Kylo still team up against snoke, but snoke regenerates instantly. Thus his menace is not diminished (plus you can still have him show up in the third movie), and his guards actually have a reason to fight Rey and Kylo. Rather than Kylo immediately turning back to the dark side again, have them both become renegade Jedi. Snoke then sends in the Knights of Ren to kill them, which leaves both Rey and Kylo critically injured, until they are rescued by Luke with his astral projection thingy. Luke then fights the Knights of Ren, giving Rey and Kylo a chance to escape. Although Luke tells Rey to leave Kylo behind, she refuses, and the two escape together on the Falcon, before Luke's clever trick is revealed. Luke then does NOT die after the astral projection, so he can still show up in the next movie. The Knights of Ren will hunt Rey and Kylo in the next movie, and we can now probably squeeze a cool lightsaber fight with Luke and Rey versus the Knights of Ren into movie 3.The rebels escape to Crait, where an actual battle with the First Order takes place. Because why have these awesome looking AT-AT's in your movie if you're not going to use them? The rebels try and hold back the invasion with their inferior vehicles, but they are getting crushed. That is until Finn manages to call in reinforcements just in time, only to get captured himself together with Rose (which leaves Finn and Rose captured at the start of the next movie). Neither Finn or Rose take part in the battle on Crait, and Rose does not crash her ship into that of Finn. That was dumb. The rebels take out some of the AT-AT's during the battle, and are eventually able to escape the First Order, thanks to a hidden weapon on the planet that the First Order does not know about (maybe they have one of those hammerhead ships from Rogue One?). Big explosion, they plow through Snoke's command ship right as Rey and Kylo escape, end of movie.</blockquote>
