Hate repeat myself from a previous video, but what ever happens between the various live action series and the sequel trilogy doesn’t quite promise th at our characters do anything to prevent the awful story writing in the sequels.

🤔Interesting, I’m going to listen to this again tomorrow 🧐

[@MrBuketman]

@@holemajora598 Just seemed to drop the ball on Luke, the Emperor was brought back as damage control, Snoke amounted to nothing, the Asian chic was useless for seeming diversity reasons, and where are the characters and/or their impact from the live action series? Luke’s lack of appearance, and his death ruined it. They wanted to reboot with a female while ditching Luke and his dad. The centers of the other movies. Expect the next movie to be more damage control.

Hi Ryan

[@MJC1891]

Thank you Doug for your hard work

[@gabrielj5343]

Loved it. Please let us know more about this story.

[@writingref]

Not bad. I do not think this pitch quite ties the prequels together all the way to the sequels In order to explain the balance of the force - you have to go super cosmic - you have to have a battle on the spiritual plane like Lucas talked about Ahsoka was around in 2015 She is a good window into the cosmic side of the force, but you can also use Rey. In order to tie it all together- i feel you MUST address the relationship between the midichlorians and the whils You have to show this relationship- and not tell about it The best way to accomplish this is to use reincarnation mythology Very similar to the Avatar of Avatar the Last air bender Where Rey = Anakin as chosen one Different individuals in a series of connected souls Through the Whils and concieved of midichlorians

[@rayman17420]

Ngl I like the idea that George Lucas had for the final trilogy but the one you presented was well done and thought out. It's crazy that I've watched or read so many other ideas just random people came uo with for the last trilogy and 95% of the ideas were way better than what Disney churned out. It all just sucks because we could have had decades of new stories and characters for Star Wars but instead Disney drove the franchise into the ground. Disney was literally handed a money printer with decades of already written a d even storyboarded stories that could have been used for movies or streaming series but instead we got a bunch of unoriginal fan fiction passed off as star Wars canon.

[@jameshoward661]

The Ben Skywalker comment really hit me. That would’ve worked so well. Love this dude as an actor, he would have been great in that role

[@edwarddemesaify]

I wish that the next movie would have a scene where someone wakes Rey or any Star Wars character up from a dream/nightmare, and he/she replies that the whole sequel was just a dream... Therefore it never happened. They can have a fresh start with the sequel.

[@edwarddemesaify]

@DanaWhites_CocaineDealer lol. You're probably right and good point. I hope that there is a clever writer out there who can undo the sequel...

[@09juliancarr]

It’s actually a brilliant concept. The idea of a protagonist having an arc that’s not ‘forced’ or being a ‘Mary Sue’ would be amazing. Just a frustration that we had to see what was wrong before we can understand what’s right

[@yaff1851]

I don’t think the problem with the sequels was that they went the wrong direction. The problem was they failed to go ANY direction. Finn being a former stormtrooper, Luke a broken cynical man, Rey and Kylo swapping stereotypes (a mentally weak villain struggling with the pull to the light side against a seemingly invincible hero), all of that could have been awesome if followed through.

[@alexkoronec4326]

Remember, that this was all due to Kathleen Kennedy interference and her choice of Ryan Johnson who was a yes person who adores Kathleen Kennedy 😮😮

[@jadoyon]

I think that overall story would be a 3 movie trilogy. There was a lot there.

[@Wolf359inc]

What you have put forward is so, so, so much better than what we got. Unfortunately, we needed the sequels to exist to get there. Admittedly, the bar was set extremely low, but this would make a great trilogy, and might even have people actually care about the new characters from the sequels. Fantastic ideas. You and your team should write it up, and make some fan films (or perhaps collaborate with some other KZbinrs who already make them?). It could even be marketed to Lucasfilm as an “Elseworlds”-type of sequel trilogy. It could be produced on a (Star Wars) TV budget, and would make them a small fortune in the cinemas. Heck, I would even accept it as novels, audio, or comic. I would pay good money to see this, and it would be my “canon” for the entire Skywalker saga. Just because something players out in an alternate universe, doesn’t mean it isn’t real for the inhabitants of that universe… :) Cheers,

I really really don't understand how or why Disney thought that having 2 different people write a trilogy would work?? JJ's ideas and Johnson's ideas where completely different!! JJ should've done the trilogy, Johnson should've been given a spin off movie for his ideas. Because of this terrible decision we are left with these 3 movies which are a mess.

For mine, I'm going to start in the middle between. Return of the jedi, and the force awakens and set up everything for my trilogy before making the triolgy is there. Until then, I enjoyed what you put out there. And I really hope you guys put more of this into the future. Because the concept was really really cool

Anything is better then sequels and this is good! However only thing missing is the “appropriate fan service” that most movies miss bc the “forced fan service”.

Having Luke's New Jedi Order in the movies is something we should have gotten, along with more of the New Republic.

Most "alternate universe" stories, I find kind of interesting as a fun way to play "What if" that doesn't take away from the established canon story. This one, though, just makes me hate the sequels even more for being so bad, that we missed our chance to have a much better story be canon.

[@edwinf04]

Nah it still sucks. Luke/leia should’ve been the protagonist

[@jethrosketch]

I was thinking it would have been cool to find out that Kylo Renn was the actual clone of Palpetine and him killing Snoke in the second movie was to finally take his place as the Superior clone. So when Rey asks him why did he kill Hans?? Kylo Ren would sit on the throne and say "He was not my Father". We find out Luke, Leiah and Hans took Kylo as a baby to raise him to be good and named him Ben but Kylo finds out and now is out for blood. He took his revenge on Luke first and strands him on Ahch To with no memory. Luke doesn't remember his past but eventually trains Rey to be something different and more balanced instead of a Jedi. Making him the Last Jedi. Then the third movie would have been completely different.

[@melissarose0126]

I want this... Please write the damn thing. Like now, do you need anything, like paper, pens? I do want some romance though, more than just Han and Leia. Maybe, we could have Rey and Ben as a romantic relationship this way, and not have people threaten others with their deaths because they like the possibility. Adam and Daisy had such amazing chemistry. I really think that could work. Such excellent work with Canon and Legends. This would have crushed. Love this!!

[@ProjSHiNKiROU]

I remember drafting up of sequel rewrites. The easiest version ended up mirroring the prequels instead of the originals: First Order behaving like the Separatist Crisis and the New Republic was alive with a new Jedi Order. George Lucas seemed to lean toward that way of doing the sequels while JJ Abrams wanted Ep 7 to be so anti-prequel that the lifecycle of the New Repubic and its senate was moved to backstory (TV shows, video games and novels). Another version I had was close to Nartuo Shippuden's finale (Infinite Tsukuyomi except with the Force + extra-galactic invaders). For sequel rewrite inspirations from mecha anime, look at: Code Geass sequel film, Universal Century Gundam, and Gundam 00

[@TDawgBR]

On paper the idea the sequels had weren’t that bad. Luke training palpatines granddaughter to ultimately defeat palpatine himself isn’t a bad idea. Rey should of been revealed to be palps granddaughter when she was in the darkside cave in last Jedi. Palpatine should of just been an evil force ghost to stubborn to die corrupting Ben solo

[@dustinthewind357]

For Ben Skywalker to have the last name Skywalker, Han could mention that he doesn't have a real last name. Solo is just a nickname that stuck so Leia suggests "How about Ben Organa Skywalker"
