re: How would you structure Star Wars IX?

Seems like to me they’ve made the same movie 20 times plus once more for making the last Jedi into marvel movie

My thoughts on how best to proceed with Ep IX
- do the outside invasion story.

Have whatever outside element (the Yuuzhan Vong is what my son tells me) come in, and lay waste to whatever remains of the First Order's military.
They aren't coming in to rescue the galaxy from the First Order, they simply hit everone. Their intent is to destroy all life.

You can use Leia in this; you've shown her to be powered up in the Light Side already. She gets mowed down easily by them, as just the Light Side doesn't affect them. She reaches out to Kylo as she dies, and he understands. He is somewhat more effective, but still too polarized to stop them alone, he needs the balance Rey would bring.

The Rey-Kylo mindlink establishes what must be done, and it's Rey's job to convince the others that Kylo and the Dark Side is their only hope. He's the weapon, she's the control and focus. They both have to fully engage to stand a chance. The goal is to live, not to maintain order or justice... at least, until you stop the invasion. In the back of everybody's mind is what happens after, but we don't have time to dwell on that for now.

Preferably, we'd get a couple movies of action, not just a single film.

At this point, I don't know of another route I'd go, given what we have to work with.

The only way out is a third party. Either by laying waste to the First Order, or fighting both the Order and the Rebels.

Nothing else will make much sense.

Well completely destroying the story arc set up in TFA, killing your main villain, and wiping out both sides... that's the proverbial burn a franchise to the ground and piss on the ashes. Story wise its an extinction event.

And while Rian Johnson shoulders a fair share of the blame, lets not forget that Abrams is great at thinking up ideas, and then really bad at following through on them over the years. This was going to happen sooner or later, its just a surprise it fell apart so quickly.

So you need a Hail Mary pass. Something so off the wall that might be able to save things because right now you've got nothing to build on.

There can be only one answer. Jar Jar Binks, secret Sith Lord.

Have the single most hated character (before the modern movies) be revealed as this master threat that has slowly been moving the pieces on the chessboard to where he wants them (hell, have Rose revealed to be his secret Apprentice). Have him be the big bad they have to unite to stop. Crawl across the finish line with that and pray it works.

Then, a few years down the road, fire Kennedy and everyone else involved with things now, and do what The Clone Wars did so well... have George Lucas as the vague creative director and talented writers and directors actually carrying everything out.

I mean she was flirting with it even when that cuck was in charge...more so than Luke had at the same point. I know continuity is now shot but she has already flirted with the idea long enough to be a victim to it. Won't happen but it should based off the story they already told.

kill everybody and never make another film again

I would have everyone from the TLJ die in the first 5 minutes.

In a horrific crash...with everyone screaming Please God No!

And then I'd try to make an interesting movie with a storyline that was written for excitement and nothing else.

so long as they get milk from weird animals tits, then i'm all in.

Kylo has to talk her back down.

Why would he talk her back down?

Could have sworn everyone was stating that he is now fully evil and the big bad.

Kylo will be obsessed with finding Rey, to the detriment of his control of the First Order. Hux will use this to revolt internally.

Rey will be training with Force Ghost Luke on a remote planet. When she opens up about Kylo's vision of her parents, Luke will remind her that not all visions are true. She will see an alternate vision of herself descended from Luke.

Finn, Poe, and Rose will hop around the galaxy trying to win over various planets to their cause, with a mixed degree of success. Every audience member will hate these parts and the cliche ending they set up.

Kylo confronts Rey. Hux shows up with the remaining fleet to kill both of them. Finn, Poe, and Rose show up in the nick of time to distract the remaining First Order fighters. Rey and Kylo start a dual trench run stop Hux. Kylo sacrifices himself to allow Rey to take the final shot.

There will be a Wedge Antilles cameo that everyone applauds.
