Poll of the Day > If I had written The Last Jedi, this is how I would have ended it SPOILERS

(+) Yeah! (+)

when Kylo Ren offers to let Rey join him in ruling, she accepts, and falls to the dark side. I actually thought that was the ending scene when it was happening and I was hoping like crazy she said yes. but then she didn't and the movie kept going.

episode 9 would be about Rey trying to rationalize her decision for "the good of the galaxy" and then maybe Finn has to train to fight her. though another idea I once had was for her to fall and then also have Kylo redeem himself to the Light. and then they fight. either of those would be cool

Nah.

Would have have left out the rose character and the entire story containing her and fin.

I also would have included a bad ass jedi fight between luke and the first order army

sortof funny but also fucked up since he's the guys uncle

I would've made Luke appoint the entire population of the known universe as honorary Jedi, so there would be no "last" one.

Then they'd have an intergalactic pizza party to celebrate.

I would have made Gandalf battle the evil sith Darth Voldemort.

That was kind of the point of that scene. It's why Kylo Ren is such a compelling villain; he's impotent and lacks discipline, and that makes him unpredictable. You truly don't know what he's going to do next.

That being said, him falling to the Light would be entirely out of line with Rey more or less accepting that he is beyond saving, and even if he could be saved, the damage he has caused can't be undone.

Funny how many nerds got mad about that movie even though there's really not any other way most of it could've been done.

I would have made Snoke matter or be compelling in any way as a villain instead of just wrapping him up as a paper thin two dimensional villain that may as well have not been in the franchise at all

He existed to take the piss out of Kylo and establish him as impotent and undisciplined (literally "a boy in a mask")

I don't think he was ever meant to be three-dimensional

There are a lot of other ways it could have been done, honestly.

But even if there weren't, you don't really get any credit or cut any slack for being painted into a corner when you're the one who painted yourself into that corner in the first place.

If you have to have a poor ending to your story because you've ruined all possible better alternatives because of what you wrote earlier in the story, then you're kind of writing a bad story.

That being said, I didn't hate the ending of The Last Jedi. Or even the entirety of the movie, though there's definitely a lot of terrible in there (and for the most part, the things I find bad aren't even necessarily the things that everyone on the Internet have been flinging shit over).

One of the most annoying things about Last Jedi is it teases a lot of amazing things that might happen but at the end of the movie it plays everything completely safe and it's incredibly disappointing.

Rey is teased to be easily temped by the dark side but it's never actually demonstrated, throughout the whole movie she's firmly devoted to "being the good guy".

Kylo is teased to switch sides but he ends up staying on the same side.

Teased that light and dark is a stupid concept but at the end it's back to light and dark.

Last Jedi somehow made crazy choices with the writing but in the end still played the movie so safe it was disappointing. It's a movie talking about cool things that could happen than doing the most boring thing instead.

If they for example, actually followed through with one of the things they teased and made Rey go dark side and Kylo switch to light, I think a lot of people would have forgiven a lot of the movies other problems (of which there are many).

Yeah, I am fine with Snoke being minor and not having much backstory. People have forgotten that the Emperor used to be the exact same way in the original trilogy. He was a rather minor character who only briefly appeared in ROTJ and had no backstory. It wasn't until the prequel trilogy that he was fleshed out as a more major character.

im still convinced that rey and kylo are brother and sister

Pretty much this. It's tiring.

Also, wtf was with the very ending where they shoehorned those casino kids in as being part of the hope for the future of the resistance. It was like they thought they had built even a slight emotional attachment with the audience or something.

With those kids being the future of the resistance, I see only three things they can do in the next one:
- Have child soldiers fight for the resistance (what the fuck)
- Take place 20 years later when the kids are adults (I guess that's an easy way to kill off Leia)
- Drop that entire plot point completely (this is definitely what they're going to do)

@LaggnFragnLarry

I'm with you. After the fight with Luke, Kylo sensed Rey as she was leaving and Rey sensed Kylo without Snoke bridge thing.

Also Rey and Leia both sensed that Luke is gone.

There has to be a connection. Maybe it's Owen and Beru Lars' child's kid. (luke and leia cousin's kid.)
---

I would have loved it if Kylo and Rey just got tired of crap and up and ran off together.
---

if they do end up as brother and sister, it will remind me of one of Han's sons from the old comics, and their daughter, when they fought. in old comics, Han and Leia had 2 sons and a daughter. all 3 kids got deleted and replaced with just Kylo Ren which kinda sucks

Owen and Beru didn't have any kids except Luke.

Rey is the daughter of Luke and Leia! She's an incest baby!

Seriously though, Jedi can sense each other regardless of being biologically related to each other or not.

You'd think Jedi/Sith being able to sense each other, it wouldn't have been so damn hard for the bad guys to find Luke.

Heck, why does Snookie even want to find Luke? Dude has been missing for years, doesn't seem interested in bugging the sith at all, and he knows full well that the guy will die of old age... Why not just leave him be?
---

I really don't know why people think Rey's parents have to be anyone important anyway. Anakin's mother was literally a slave. She was a nobody.

Jedi don't have to come from "important" families. They're not royalty or anything. It's the Slytherin kind of thinking that only "purebloods" can be wizards/Jedi. Muggles can be wizards/Jedi too.

He probably learned from the Emperor/Vader's mistake. They knew that Yoda and Obi-Wan survived the purge, and left them both alone. Look where that got the Emperor and Vader....

Maybe Luke learned some way to mask his Force presence. Palpatine certainly did that in the prequels since none of the Jedi could ever sense that he was Force sensitive. Not even Yoda or Mace Windu could sense his Force sensitivity even when they were in the same room. With those ancient Jedi books on Ach-To, it is certainly possible that Luke could have learned the same ability from those books.

they are definitely related
one of the original leaked ideas about a year and a half before the release of the force awakens was a story about twin/brother and sister jedis. abrams will wrap up the trilogy with his original idea of rey and kylo ren being siblings. rian johnson did a good job throwing people off with tlj but very much kept that story arc alive

Luke shut himself off from the Force. He states it himself and Rey didn't see him at all when she reached out with it.

Some of y'all need to watch the movie.

So Leia never knew she had twins? Was she addicted to meth/drunk all the time?

possibly she was snorting that force but i assume it was to protect rey from kylo is the reason for hiding her

I really hope they aren't siblings because we really don't need any more incest in the star wars franchise. You could tell kylo gave rey a lady boner

I was expecting Leia, ending up with Luke Skywalker in your version, ok?
