[@bobc2032]

Would’ve loved to see Finn as a turned storm trooper who was still very deadly and tactical minded, but slowly sheds those attributes through the the trilogy. Like yes, he turns after not obeying orders in TFA, but he still keeps his hardened exterior until he learns to relax and have a good time with his friends. You could’ve had a lot of content with Finn if they kept his character grounded in that reality. How he doesn’t quite mesh with the civilian world but he’s trying to cope with not being in a strict regime anymore. He slowly relaxes and makes jokes, but still retains his ability to snap into action like he was trained. He would not be a bumbling idiot. Just simple things like that could’ve given him depth and uniqueness

[@nicholasnwagbara1333]

I'm picking up what you're putting down. I still really like what was done with him in this rewrite though.

[@irregularassassin6380]

That's exactly what I thought we would have as soon as I saw him take off his helmet in the trailer. Instead, they wrote him like he never received any combat training at all. I think he drops his firearm three times in _The Force Awakens_, and each time he needs it a few moments later. I'm not a soldier, I won't pretend to know what it's like to be one. However, I do know that boot camp has a lot of drills on weapon maintenance, probably to instill in the recruit a sense of care around the weapon. To use a Star Wars quote: This weapon is your life.

[@sandshark2]

A perfect character to reflect the ww2 theming of Star Wars, covering the effect warfare has on people who participate in the regimes, or even more specifically how the Wehrmacht soldiers had to deal with knowing their entire worldview crumbled in front of them, and their horrific acts made obvious. If the first movie was set as to show the rise of the first order (not just a 5 min scene of blowing up the new republic) then we could see Finn break away and have to deal with the acts the first order we’re doing to enslave worlds

What I love about this: -Finn and Rey taking divergent paths. Rey is the naturally gifted one who feels she doesn't need training so she's unfocused while Finn doesn't have her knack for it but is far more disciplined so he becomes a Jedi first. -On top of that, they sort of diverge on the paths of the Jedi, almost becoming the old video game split between Jedi Consular and Jedi Guardian. Rey the one with more raw power in the Force but not as impressive fighting techniques while Finn becoming the more physical, lightsaber duelist but with a weaker connection to the Force. At least at first for both of them. -Finn being more reluctant to kill and having more visible sympathy for the Stormtroopers. Really makes him stand out as a character and makes him an even better candidate to be a Jedi. -That Force Plague thing is a BRILLIANT way to head off the "Rey's a Mary Sue" bullshit by basically saying that she totally is but justifying how wrong and out of place it feels in-universe. That's devious! -This version of Rose is so much more likable. And I didn't even hate her to start, but making her a kind of cool near human cyborg who's all book smarts but little practical experience who becomes an officer is a brilliant re-working of the character. -Luke being dead . . . that just solves SO MUCH! (And again, I didn't hate his self-imposed exile as it was.) -Phasma's "I fight for the strongest" mentality lends a lot of depth to her character and her redemption is almost as cool as Ben's. -Kaminoan Snoke. Oh, that is so good. It's a great way to tie the entire franchise together instead of the new movies pretending the prequels didn't exist. Overall, Snoke is a much-improved version where he's kind of like Sidious but not exactly. Simply willing to martyr himself for his belief already makes him a far different antagonist. -Giant Snoke final boss. I was so disappointed to find out he wasn't as big as advertised and the idea of fighting a giant with a lightsaber could lead to so many possibilities. . . . Yeah, this was pretty much exactly what I wanted from the new trilogy.

[@jaskierdraven9191]

[@shmoovin7421]

For the second paragraph, when you said Finn being the more physical, lightsaber duelist but with a weaker connection to the force. I couldn't help but think of Finn being some sort of Black Obi-wan, due to Obi-Wan not being as adept with the force as most Jedi yet it was his other qualities that made him a powerful Jedi.

2 changes I'd make: Finn has a white saber, canonically they are kyber crystals that were purified from the dark side, metaphor for him turning Ben and Rey to the light. Rose is not force sensitive but has a yellow saber once used by Temple Guards, since she is the closest thing to one so Rose teaches Finn additional/advanced forms of saber combat that she had stored in from Cin Drallig's notes (nice little name drop)

[@dylansuperti214]

I’d also like to make a change. I would like to make Poe and Chewbacca go on a separate mission in hopes of finding Lando. Finding Lando is how they learn about Snoke having clones and how to defeat them. They then go to find Finn, Rey, and Kylo to warn them. I hope that they gun the Giant version of Snoke down in the final battle in the Falcon but idk. I also hope to see more scenes with BB8.

I thought the final battle seemed bad? Like 3 people against a group of knights and clones? Seems really chaotic. I think they should beat the knights and then they each have to fight a clone.

Watto's resistance to the Force wasn't a unique thing. The more different a person's mind is from the one influencing them, the harder it is to do. That's why Geonosians were considered effectively immune to mind tricks. This was also a learnable skill, as seen with Cad Bane requiring 3 Jedi (and quite a bit of mental anguish) to crack.

The mask and the name change could have been something forced on him by Snoke as part of the traditional Sith training method of taking away whatever the apprentice cares about most (in this case, his family name and a face that people recognize and defer to.) That would make him a living critique of Rey, who also defines herself entirely by what she is rather than what she does.

[@toodmorales8462]

@Rtkts That's interesting cause I think it's the exact opposite. I feel like you still get that anyone can right their wrongs story with Finn, considering he's been a storm trooper since he was stolen as a child. He's for sure committed attrocities across the galaxy while being under the First Order. So the force could be a path to redemption for him. And in a film like star wars, shouldn't the ability to use the force not make or break a character? Half the people in the series are force sensitive, but that's usually not what fans like about the character. Most people I talk to thought that Rey was super boring and uninteresting, despite her being a force user, only finding interest in her backstory and origin. Finn has a great backstory, with moderate charisma when he's not just screaming "REY" at the top of his lungs lol. I think him being force sensitive can only enhance his character based on his past. Also I'm not like, saying you're wrong or that your opinion is unfounded, I'm just sharing my thoughts 🎷

[@luckymango1963]

@stockart whiteman While I agree with you, the scene with Finn on Takodana was so ruefully EPIC. it showed us what could've been. Finn being a jedi, or maybe Finn being a warrior with a lightsaber (my favorite lightsaber), withOUT the force, would both be cool, and obviously better. Finn being the second black jedi wouldve been a major point, and a stepping stone for more mature (as in, more developed, empathy wise). Rey could've been another jedi, or more of a wondering jedi, not by any code, while Finn is a true jedi or a warrior without the force

SOMETHING caused him to do it in such a way that'd make him hard to find. SOMETHING caused him to turn his back on his friends. No matter what TLJ did, resolving those SOMETHINGs in a logical manner would piss off a lot of people.

There isn't anything inherently special about a lightsaber. However, using one would still be VERY weird, even to someone who might have actual close combat training.

That's probably why most lightsaber deaths are from slashes rather than being cut in half.

Ok I love this video a lot and have watched it a dozen times at this point, and I thought of a little something to add in that I think would be great. Someone else suggested that there could be a scene where Finn is looking for Luke and he finds the hut Luke’s been staying in, and in this hut he discovers Vader’s lightsaber. He then sees Luke at the door and they have a discussion about how Vader was his father and Kylo and all that. What I want to add is that in Ep9 we see Finn wielding what is clearly Vader’s lightsaber, but maybe modified a bit to better suit him and for marketing purposes, and most importantly the blade is white. For those of you who don’t know what this means let me explain. Basically all lightsabers are powered by these special force sensitive crystals called Kyber crystals, and Jedi make their lightsabers by connecting with one first then making the actual saber. Sith meanwhile will use the Dark Side to corrupt the crystal before making a saber which is why they always have a red blade. And finally, a white blade is made when someone finds a corrupted crystal and “heals” it through the Force. Since redemption is a big part of this rewrite’s plot and Finn’s character I thought this would be a fitting addition.

[@sylph8005]

Okay, here's a quick question: If Rey being a force plague makes everyone love her, why was she kicked out of the city? If you don't have an answer, here's how I think it would work: The force plague effects aren't permanent. If she stays with a person for long enough, it wears off, and that person has an opinion of her based on their own thoughts. My evidence for this is the alien salesman from the first movie. IIRC, he said "Your charms don't work on me anymore," implying they once did, but stopped. So what happened with Rey's rich adoptive parents was they were disgusted by her at first, and then her force plague abilities made them love her, but after a while, it wore off, and they were disgusted by her again, even moreso than before since she manipulated them and got everything dirty, so they, like Ben said, threw her out like trash. There's another level to this: Since the other characters still like her after the time the force plague effects would ware off, it proves that she is capable of making people genuinely like her without the force, and she's not just a manipulator.

[@johnsMITHhhhhh88]

That's a good idea, the fun thing about the force is you can use it to cover pretty much any plot hole. I have a few ideas on how that would work: -Rey was just inexperienced and conflicted so the power wouldn't work forever -Rey had some of the dark side in her the whole time, so her force connection to them would eventually give some of the dark side to them and make them hate her, which would explain why her parents stopped loving her even though they raised her and they should've grown to love her anyway -Everyone has the force in them, so over time the force in them would try and resist the pull. But if she only has the light side or whatever was similar to them then the person would reach back at her in the same way. This would explain why her and Kylo had a connection (they were both conflicted) and why Kylo wanted to stay and rule with her without knowing her at all, and why Rey in turn wanted the same

Along with this, you actually dedicated to the Dark Side thing instead of teasing the audience with it, both as respect to your audience but also making Rey a sort of “dark reflection” of Luke

[@junipetta1595]

Just a couple of points from the start of the video: I don’t think Luke being a hermit makes you less invested - you become invested in him regaining his heroism, and it’s incredibly satisfying by the end. Snoke’s death is also an amazing moment for spectacle, it’s an amazing plot twist and everyone in the cinema gasped. Great moment.

@@StarPichu12 Emphasis on I THINK you're overselling it a little. I stated my OPINION that you seemed a little overexcited. You're right. I don't know you. But you don't know me. So you can't assume that what I said was said for the sake of being an asshole. The defense rests Mrs. Pancake.

[@gabrielbarros11]

@@Saturnlock I believe its better to just show Rey as being someone very powerful since the beggining and assuming it you know, because it feels more honest, not like the original movies that just throw Rey as being weak and then suddenly evolves god like powers without any kind of training, at least in this script she's already stablished as being powerful, so it doesn't feel like a mary sue, but more as a character trait :P

[@luckymango1963]

@@gabrielbarros11 I never liked Rey. It wasn't sexism, it wasn't reverse feminism. It was how out of nowhere she was so overpowered. From the begining she could fly a ship she'd never used before. Ive heard of Mary Sue but I never read the comics so I cant say anything on there, but Rey always angered me. She had equal to, or even greater, powers than Anakin and Luke. But Rey, Palpatine or not, shouldn't have been this powerful. As I said, its not sexism. Female characters can be powerful, i dont care, but I want to know WHY they're so powerful. Palpatine was strong because he learned the dark side of the force for years. But this wasn't transfered from lineage. If Rey had been revealed to be a Skywalker, I MIGHTVE been all for it. But I would've wanted character development for her. I wanted to see Rey trying to learn things, not just for the force, but for learning how to fight for others, learning how to help others, learning how to BE a "good guy". I wish Luke wouldv'e actually trained her to fight, not how she just destroys Kylo in a makeshift fight with a weapon she's never seen before. I also wish Lucasfilm hadn't made it that everyone needed her. I mean yeah, make her the main hero, but don't make her the ONLY hero who can do things. I love the way this went, with Finn getting Anakin's saber (Which I always loved) and Rey journeys to get her own saber. Finn becoming a jedi would be so amazing.

@@luckymango1963 yeah, basicaly there's no satisfaction at all when Rey won against Ren in ALL the movies, because it doesn't feel deserved.

@@pyroshayniac1090 This is the dumbest criticism of the movie. They’re trying to escape the police do you really think they have time to save some children while they’re at it? The animals help them escape the police and the children would hold them up. It’s not a case of “let’s save these animals and not these kids”.

[@eeveeofalltrades4780]

@@pyroshayniac1090 freeing kids is much harder than freeing animals. The animals you can just release them into the wild and they'll be fine on their own, but the kids you'd have to take them somewhere else to prevent them from being caught.

[@jamesarmstrong5316]

I don't know why but Everytime I see ray use a lightsaber in the sequel trilogy I can't help but imagine her kind not getting it then as part of character development working with Luke/someone to make a double bladed lightsaber that works more like her staff so she is more capable using her existing combat skills with a weapon that is similar to what she has used before.
