  • Alright, it's finally time to discuss how to fix Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.
    If you haven't watched Part 1 of this series (where I discuss how to fix The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi) I recommend you watch that first, as this video references many of the changes I made to the trilogy in that video:

    As always this is all just my opinion. Film Fix is a great creative exercise for me and I do not pretend to know more about filmmaking or storytelling than those who made this movie.

    This is the only version of Kylo lives that I liked. Basically because it also puts Rey on roughly equal moral footing. And having them leave together to an unknown future is ambiguous enough that it assuages the concern over everyone else instantly forgiving him.

      Same. I can only accept Kylo living in the end if they give him the Sasuke treatment. Dude turns to light at the last minute and is instrumental in helping the good guys win the final battle but this is obviously not enough to forgive all the crimes he’s committed so by the ending he’s alive and goes on a journey to seek redemption.

      @@sorensorensen9567 only the crimes he commited were crimes during war. And in the biggest massaceres he wasnt really involved in: Lukes students (palpatine) and Hoznien system (snoke and Hux who obeyed). What about all the other characteres who killed even if they are the good guys? If not killing because every charactere does this what makes Kylo ren the villain?:
      The rejection of his family the OT characteres while all the other ones are helping them he as the member rejects them. Killing Han symbolises his rejection on his family and repression of his true name. But he comes to terms with it is forgiven by his father and his remorse is the opposite of what Palpatine wanted. It turns him to the light than deeper to the dark side.

    As much as I hated Rose in TLJ, I was kinna hoping her character would receive more development and be improved upon in ROS. I mean, come on, fans hated Ahsoka when she was first introduced. But did Dave Filoni lazily write her out of the Clone Wars? No. He took the time and effort to expand her character and make her as beloved as she is now.
    Instead, Rose got written out and replaced by an even more half-assed, under-developed character, bringing us back to square one.

      Pretty good idea.
      Instead of the money shot of all of the ships flying in to save the day, there is a silhouette shot of storm troopers walking over the horizon. As the cameras gets closer, we see that their armor has the resistance logo poorly painted onto it.
      That could be really powerful.

    • @elwick7268
      @elwick7268 4 роки тому +7

      Kaden Vasquez I agree maybe all there Could be a battle in the second act that results in lots of casualties for the resistance maybe killing a fairly important character like Rose or someone like that and then the people Lando gathered could come in to greet an almost beaten resistance and then that motivates them to fight the final order, a bit like in rogue one

    • @kaden.vasquez
      @kaden.vasquez 4 роки тому +8

      Perfect! Then, you still get the “Lando helps out” scene, but the more thematic Storm Trooper redemption will be at the climax of the film.
      The themes of “self choice” in this trilogy are much stronger than the themes of “call to action.”
      So, it makes sense that a group of Storm Troopers choosing to fight for the Resistance would be the tipping point of the battle. It ties EVERYTHING together. Especially Finn’s arc from Ep.7

      With proper ground work in Force Awakens and Last Jedi, it would work.
      Say, when Rey finds the lightsaber in Force awakens and has her vison we have: flashes of a ship struck by lightning as someone cries out, and whispers that follow the visions are thoses of the cultists trying to reach her.
      This could tie into Kylo's speech about how he saw that Rey would turn.

Earlier the ancient sith should destroy her yellow saber in a ritual to the darkside to bring closer to the mystery’s of the whereabouts of that saber.

    A huge missed opportunity in the rise of skywalker was during the duel on the destroyed deathstar. When Rey left him kylo should not of saw a memory/vision of han, but instead heard the vague breathing of a respirator. Kylo would turn around only to see Darth Vader in light blue force ghost light. At first vader talks in a demanding tone, scaring kylo. Kylo ignites his saber, but to his astonishment vader deactivates it with a stroke of his hand. At this point vader would ignite a lightsaber and walk menacingly towards kylo, leaving him in fear. But just before he slashes at him he stops. Vader would then lift his hands to his helmet and drop it with a thud next to kylo... kylo looks up to see not the merciless face of a sith, but the face of Anakin skywalker.. anakin then talks to kylo about why dark side is trash and then badabook badaboom kylo begins his redemption. also would be cool to instead of seeing him throw his lightsaber into the ocean, but instead purify it like ahsoka did.

    I’m not a huge fan of the “love not hate” callbacks because I thought it was cheesy and sort of dumb when it was first used...but, I do like the idea of Finn rallying the stormtroopers and Rey switching positions with kylo. and I LOVE the idea of a mother’s unconditional love being the thing to bring a lost and confused child back from beyond the brink. Rey being the villain at the end would have been really interesting, and a good consequence to her character being so powerful-though I do think more would have to go into convincing her that only power brings peace.
    When Finn is in the stormtrooper base, I think it would be even better if no one stops them from being arrested at first (because they’re scared kids-even if you don’t believe the propaganda, you’re not going to speak up that easily) but later, a few guards come to escort them to the execution chamber and then it’s almost a moment-for-moment callback to Finn’s first conversation with Poe, and at one point Finn says something like “wow. So this is how he felt.”
    Also HE WOULD GIVE THEM NAMES.

  • @ObakeOnna
    @ObakeOnna 4 роки тому +13

    I feel like keeping Palpatine in isn't necessarily bad, with one condition: he's only a ghost seeking to possess Rey. He could have expected Vader to kill him (as any sith apprentice should) and created a fail-safe plan to live forever using a sith Relic that would store his dark side essence, which would then be taken by his loyal followers to Korriban, the only place in the galaxy where the dark side is strong enough to prevent him from dissipating and allow him to manifest as a ghost. Perhaps Palpatine had foreseen that the destruction of the Jedi order would cause the Force to eventually converge in one individual creating the strongest Force user in millennia, and he wanted to take over that person's body to live again. That vergence in the Force is obviously Rey.
    Palpatine sent his pupil Snoke to seek her out, but after leaving Palpatine's sphere of influence he rebelled and decided to take his own apprentices and conquer the galaxy for himself. With Snoke dead, Kylo Ren could discover the means Snoke was supposed to contact Palpatine (holocron, wayfinder, dark side radio, Fortnite account, whatever) and speak with him. Palpatine learns about Rey from Kylo and manipulates him to fetch her by telling it's the way Kylo can fulfill his destiny (which actually just means Palpy intends kill him after he's taken over Rey's body).
    In the end you could have Palpatine take over Rey Exorcist-style after convincing he wants the war to end too, and it's the only way they can do it, by combining forces. However Kylo, who is at this point a reformed Ben Solo, manages to drive his ghost out of Rey and into himself, and then commits suicide before Palpatine can control him fully. Maybe that's too much of an Exorcist parallel, but that's about the only way I could think of involving Palpatine in the movie without totally ruining the ending to the OT.

    This is really good! And the underlying message - that you can choose who you want to be rather than being locked into an arc because of past choices or lineage, is much more Star Wars than what we got. And, of course, the rest of the story makes much, much more sense and is far more cohesive. What a shame that the overpaid hacks gave us the dud we got in theaters.

    In addition, this is something I've always wanted in Star Wars, is like while Rey's conflict with who she is in the light or dark and touching Ben's hand, you can see her eyes flicker between Sith yellow and her normal eye color, eventually ending in her turn to the light.
    Anyways great job on this whole saga, definitely better than what we got, though maybe we see some flashes of Sith in her in the Last Jedi so the whole Sith Rey isn't so fast. But still great job and was fantastic.

    I think a good way to end it would be George Lucas’ original idea for the end of episode 9: r2-d2 and c-3p0 recounting the story of the Skywalkers to the whills decades after it happened. It really pays off the “long time ago” aspect of the series imo. Loved the vid tho 👍

      @kenpachi465 4 роки тому

      You changed the plot and wrote a new script instead of fixing the film.
      1) One of the major drawbacks of TLJ was Rey being a nobody which resulted in the low audience rating. JJ intended on Rey to be a Kenobi and TLJ was made to subvert expectations. I'm sure some people rather Luke was still a nobody instead of Vader's son.
      2) This is called the Skywalker Saga and the conclusion of Anakin's lineage.
      3) TROS was set up to lay the groundwork for Star Wars Universe as a franchise.
      4) The Skywalker Saga has always been about family and how dark can turn to the light and light turn to the dark.
      Fixing the film would include finding a way to integrate Palpatine into the story and making Rey a Skywalker without it feeling forced.

      personally I would have liked Rey to be kenobi and sattine’s grand daughter and have mandalore play a role in the last Jedi and then the dyad function where when Kylo taps into the dark side Rey taps into the light and visa versa explaining why Kylo was off balance in the force and felt the pull to the light because typically the opposite is true that the dark side is the seductive one and at the end would be a flash forward Rey Ben and their kid on a balcony overlooking a mandalore celebration and to explain why Ben is excepted I’d say that Rey initially tried to use her political status (duchess of mandalore) to pardon him but failed and instead he had to give back and basically do community service for the galaxy for years and the celebration is a welcome home to Ben Solo

  • @KanaiIle
    @KanaiIle 4 роки тому +6

    One thing though With your (better) version of the movie, the title doesnt really seem to fit anymore. There isnt really much of a Skywalker rising, unless you count Ben Solo, who is only half of the protagonist team. Given that the arc words seem to be "you are who you choose to be"... I would propose "Star Wars: The Path of the Chosen". It has a nice double meaning as it may refer Ben & Rey´s journey to become the sith heirs, calls back to the "chosen one of the force" and also plays on the arc words. But that was just from the top of my head.

  • @ooccttoo

    I really like the way you redeemed Kylo/Ben and used Rey as the primary antagonist of the story. I feel like I would have given the friendship between the main trio (Poe, Rey, Finn) a little more weight because that's what I like to see, and StormPilot is my OTP for this triology so I would have put Poe and Finn into more scenes together to develop their relationship more after the groundwork that was laid in TFA.
    Also, your description of Leia's sacrifice gave me chills. I know it's not ideal to have her die in this film and you're not fully happy with it, but I really liked it.
    Seriously, great job with this series! I think if I had gone to see your version of the film I think I would have rather liked it!

    YES! YES! YES! I’m literally only like 3 minutes in but I wholeheartedly agree with everything (especially about Palpatine and his connection with Rey) you’ve said. Also the whole coup thing with the First Order? That’s basically what I originally thought they were going to do before the trailers and such came out. Despite Rey maybe going to the dark side and coming back was a tiny bit rushed, I’m sure it would’ve seemed seamless in the film’s original three hour runtime. If Disney had wanted the film to have an Endgame-esque ending, they should’ve have given the film enough time to do so.

      @@jamesthenabignumber I love Thrawn, but I don't think his arc would be a good basis for the sequel trilogy.
      Thrawn exists very much as an element of the later years of the Galactic Civil War and to keep with the theme that each trilogy is a different generation, the timing just doesn't work.
      I think Thrawn would be the perfect antagonist/anti-hero of a spin-off trilogy or Disney+ show
      What I've wanted and hoped for since Disney bought SW is for the sequels to be about the Yuuzhan Vong. The symmetry of having both Sith and Jedi at a disadvantage due to fighting a foe that views the Force as an enemy is so good. Plus the theory of Palapatine creating the Empire and Death Star to be to fight them really contextualizes the previous two trilogies well.
      And the resolution that the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic have to cooperate in order to win makes for a nice thematic end ("It's like poetry, they rhyme")
      That's just my two cents

    I like most of this a whole lot . Finn and Kylo’s arcs especially. I do have an issue with Rey’s turn in that it doesn’t feel dark side enough, maybe it should lean more heavily on her determination to be somebody and stoking the anger of her abandonment - I just think telling her that accepting the power will end the war isn’t quite right. I so wanted the double turn when I saw the trailer and I’m glad you incorporated it, though.
