Comment on If you could change the ending of one movie, which one would it be, and how would you change it?
toddestan@lemm.ee 4 months agoI’d rewrite the ending of The Force Awakens so that they don’t destroy Starkiller Base at the end. Instead they’d just damage it heavily or somehow disable it.
Then the second movie would then have to be rewritten to be about the First Order trying to repair Starkiller Base, perhaps they need some rare resource or something, and the rebels are trying to stop them.
The third movie would then also have to be rewritten. The First Order has got the thing working again, so the rebellion would get to destroy it for good this time.
Really, the problem the sequel trilogy had is that they didn’t know what to do with it. The Force Awakens end up as a soft reboot of A New Hope, which is why we got a third Deathstar. But then they blow it up at the end of the first movie, which puts them in a bind as now they really don’t know what to do with the next two movies. What now, a fourth Deathstar? At least this would give some sort of overarching story for the trilogy, rather than the making-it-up-as-we-go mess that we ended up with.

Yeah, it’s quite clear no one planned out a story arc for the trilogy and it suffered greatly because of it. I really like The Force Awakens and I bought The Last Jedi for £1 to almost complete the set. I’m waiting to find Rise of Skywalker in a charity shop for 50p to compete the set, don’t know if I’ll watch it again though. 😄
