Have the resistance from the outer rim finally show up
Etc., etc., etc.
Whatever they do will be a lame band-aid necessitated by Rian Johnson’s terrible movie.
I'm not throwing stones I'm honestly asking. I know a ton of people who say "I want back in I just want Kennedy out and a return to what was before TLJ."
And I always ask "Ok, HOW would you do it?"
If it is pulled off that team deserves every award out there because they start off backed all the way into a corner. It'd be nearly impossible to back-track now... [Reply]

Well, it is JJ Abrams, so we should all go ahead and get used to the idea of a third act redepmtion plot point ripoff.
I have no idea where they are going to go with this now, but I am assuming that they will make Ren into a near godlike Sith lord now- like Vader and the Emperor combined. This seems somewhat obvious to me when you consider everything that has been done so far. Vader's saber becomes Ren's weird-ass saber; Deathstar becomes Deathplanet; The Executor becomes The Supremacy. Super Shredder from TMNT2 would fit right into this movie and not seem out of place.
Obviously, Rey (of light in the darkness) wins against all odds; probably with the help of every force ghost ever... this includes all the murdered Jedi Younglings. Oh, and count on some kind of furry midget things or an entire Wookie planet.
The universe is broken, and they need to go backwards about 3000 years in time to give us some new untouched stories. 15 years or so from now they can redo the prequels. [Reply]

IMO......
Luke is dead. Can't fix that. He can be there as a force ghost, but that's it.
Snoke is dead. Can't fix that, either. Move on. Kylo is the big bad in Ep. 9.
Rey's parentage: This one's easy to fix. Kylo told her her parents are no one because he knew that would hurt her. It's not true.
Not sure how they deal with Carrie Fisher's death, but I'mma be right pissed off if they kill her of screen. She should have died in TLJ instead of her Superman spacewalk.
"Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, farm boy. Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova, and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't" - Han Solo
With this quote and the name Millennium Falcon a writer should be able to concoct a story arc that dictates time travel if you want to keep Rey and the connection of the original storyline to jump start the franchise for a course correct.
Though as stated before I'd rather have a clean reboot. [Reply]

Or Rey wakes up on the Millennium Falcon and finds Luke taking a shower, then realizes it was all a bad dream. :-) [Reply]

Six of one, half dozen of the other. Someone's dream.
Could just start all over and have it be Rey's dream on the Falcon before she even meets Luke. So we can have a better response than just tossing the light saber over a cliff. [Reply]

Nah. If you liked it, you liked it. No judgment from me. I did not, for the reasons I listed and others. I put TLJ just one spot from the bottom of SW movies (above Attack of the Clones). [Reply]
