    You pretty much nailed my list.

    Hopefully included as a part of delving into aforementioned list, there are two more things I think would be cool to see.

    Firstly, some great space scenes that utilize some of the stranger phenomena we know are really out there in the galaxy, such as;
    *Really cool nebulae, such as the Red Square nebulae, Calabash nebulae or Helix nebulae.
    *RR Lyrae cepheid variable stars.
    *The 'roadmap in the sky', the IBEX ribbon.
    *'The Ahniliation Fountain', or the anti-matter fountain at the centre of the galaxy.

    Secondly, some super cool force related ojbects/weapons, along the lines of any mythology created ever. Some of my favourites inlcude;
    *The Imperial Regalia of Japan, or the Three Sacred Objects.
    * Aphrodites' Magic Girdle
    *The Deathly Hollows
    *The Spear of Longinus.

    Now I think of it, some grand and imposing temples/tombs might be nice too.

    1. Better writing than in The Force Awakens
    2. Better directing than in The Force Awakens
    3. No 1:1 references to TESB
    4. Lando Calrissian
    5. Good screen time for Luke, Rey & Kylo Ren. Less Finn and B-88 a bit more Poe

    That might actually turn out to be case. After Luke's first attempt to train a new generation of Jedi failed so completely, I can imagine a scenario where he seeks out the first Jedi Temple because the place is so strong with the force that it will allow him to commune with a council (of sorts) of force ghosts. To avoid repeating not only his own mistakes, but also the ones that led to the near destruction of the Jedi Order, it would make sense to try and learn from the past masters. It would be quite a burden for Luke to do all on his own.

    I still haven't decided what I'm really itching to see, but I am very interested to find out how Hayden Christensen plays into the next episode(s). I mean, this could just be a nasty gut-kicking rumor, but the internet is abuzz with "Hayden's being trained for a spot in Episode 8" and we all know the internet doesn't lie. I know, I know, rumors are the spawn of the Sith, but it could come to fruition. After all, there was some scrapped concept art of Anakin's ghost in the recent Art of The Force Awakens book. :) *wishful thinking*

    i'd really like to see Hayden Christiansen have a chance to redeem himself in the Star Wars universe (just like Vader ~ hahaha). i always felt like he got a bum deal.

    and if it involves him giving Ben a spanking, all the better (er...not literally, just figuratively).

    Well it is just speculation/rumor at this point, but if it turns out to be true, I just have this much to say...
    One doesn't need "training" to stand around and be a force-ghost. He's probably "training" because somebody's gonna get got. (lightsaber)

    Nooooooooo! Lando cannot go out like a punk. He needs to do something noble!
    --- Double Post Merged, Feb 9, 2016, Original Post Date: Feb 8, 2016 ---
    I want a scene like this. Hayden comes walking out to talk to Luke. Him and Luke are talking when Ewan as Obi-Wan fades in. Luke looks at him a bit puzzled. Obi-Wan looks at both of them and says "what? If he (Anakin) can come back as his younger self why can't I?" :D

    Don't forget. there's also the possibility of Cloning, and Anakin's got limbs scattered all over the galaxy by now. :D

    I agree. Hayden was in his early 20s and a very unexperienced actor. He now has experience and seeing him come back as Anakin would be awesome!

    I heard he took a break from acting. I think with a professional director and proper writing he'd be great reprising his role. I'm just not sure it's necessary. Plus the age difference between him and Luke may come off confusing for newer fans.

    yes, just out of interest why would you want them to keep recycling old bit actors from the OT, when they have successfully past the mantle to the new cast?

    1. Space Battle (Asteroids, Star Destroyers, etc)
    2. Non-Hologram/Non-Transmission Snoke and some more information about his character, and hopefully some visuals/audio of "completing Kylo's training"
    3. Luke using Green Lightsaber and the force
    4. We know Han is in VIII, I would like to see some very compelling scenes with Ben, Luke, Leia that give us some backstory and closure seeing the Big 3.
    5. Yoda, somehow used well as a force ghost.

    I'm not saying he's a necessity. I just think it would make sense being that the Republic lost so many ships. Lando could be called upon to help Leia after Han's death and the Republic fleet wiped out. Plus Lando is practically family!

    Also, it would be nice for two black actors to share screen time. Lando and Finn together would be cool. I would imagine there could be more comedy gold for Finn in scenes with Lando!

    1, Rey training with Luke, Kylo training with Snoke
    2, Finn interacting with other storm troopers, sewing seeds of wide scale storm trooper revolt in episode 9.
    3, Rey's backstory revealed.
    4, Kylo defeating Rey at the end of the episode, Rey came accross as to powerful at the end of 7, that balance needs to be addressed.
    5, Luke not dying!!

    Luke fighting and Snokes full back story saved for episode 9

    Lando could be the New Chancellor of the New Republuc (which is now at open war with the FO obviously). He'd fit that role I think (plus it's not an action-heavy role, so Billy Dee's age/health issues won't be as much of an issue). As for Hayden, part of me would like to see him back just because a. it's tie into Kylo's Vader obsession and b. I'd like to see what he can do with a better director and script this time.
