#star wars rewrite

I’ve never watched the Star Wars sequel trilogy but I heard people hated it so here are a few things I would’ve changed to make the movies more sellable.

1. The Stormtrooper guy (Finn, I think???) is not a Jedi in canon. Here, he’s still not a Jedi technically. However, he keeps a lightsaber. Instead, he acts like some kind of non-Force Jedi for two movies (also the main protagonist) until bam! He has Force powers in the third. Weak Force powers, but Force powers still.
2. Rey is still Palpatine’s daughter (I only found out via memes) but it’s revealed in the first movie. The second movie would have people not trust her due to her lineage and she struggles with her identity. She eventually accepts that she’s got evil blood in her but that she can be good regardless.
3. Kylo Ren’s backstory: He was part of Luke’s students from a young age. However, he was tempted by the Dark side and slowly corrupted while under Luke’s tutelage. His betrayal ended with him murdering one of Luke’s students and running away.
4. Luke is still the hermit guy but his reason is now more enforced. He felt that he failed Kylo so he left, depressed and everything. Rey, while still struggling with the fact that she’s the grandbaby of the devil, empathizes with him. And helps him get his confidence back.
5. The rest of Luke’s students end up being Jedi! But they kinda had to finish their studies without Luke to teach them. One of the students-now-Jedi (idk how SW names work so I’m calling him Rook Ma-Tau) is searching for Kylo Ren to avenge the death of his fellow.
6. Rook dies when he fights Kylo. The reason being is that he didn’t have the heart in him to kill Kylo because he still cared for him like a brother. Rook helped train Finn a bit and in turn, Finn takes his lightsaber after giving Luke’s old one to Rey.
7. Idc about the handsome pilot guy so yeah.
8. Luke is also dead this entire time! The reason Luke couldn’t continue teaching was not only because of depression but because he was dead. He’s just a Force ghost now and refuses to move on until Kylo is redeemed.
9. The cute Asian girl (idk her name) is still Finn’s love interest. She’s a mechanic and came from a large aristocratic family with many siblings. She left because she didn’t want to stay in their shadow and also because her family has ties to the bad guys. Finn and Rey team up to save her when her family kidnaps her. They also topple the family while we’re at it, which helps the good guys.

Idk anything about the rest of the movies so yeeeeeah…
