    Whatever the final battle is, I hope it'll take place on a cool, fresh-looking planet. And if there's a space battle, please make it look interesting too... I don't know, some planetary ring, colourful nebulas in the background... Be creative.

    As a strong supporter of Kylo's redemption, I kinda wish his big duel with Rey (which is a given...) happened earlier in the film, so that we could see Kylo doing something good at the end. Like taking out the Knights of Ren.

    There was a certain rumour on Reddit (probably false but who knows) about a concept art showing
    Kylo piloting the Falcon
    and even if that's made up, it's still something I'd really love to see. Imagine
    Kylo taking part in the final space battle piloting the Falcon and saving the day by doing something that requires crazy skills. Oh boy, and some kind of dramatic rendition of Han's theme from Solo could be playing. And then we're led to believe he sacrificed himself by blowing something up or whatever, but thanks to Rey's Force connection, we find out he survived and escaped aboard the Falcon. Then we could proceed to the good guys celebrating, wrapping up the plot and in the epilogue we could get another scene with Kylo.
    I would lose my mind if that happened.

    I don't know what or where the final battle will be, but if it doesn't involve cuddly little teddy bears, I'm gonna be pissed!

    My prediction is that Kylo kills Hux before the climax after a failed assassination attempt.

    I think my Hux head canon finale is something along the lines of him staggering off into a blizzard cradling a miniature starkiller base toy while shouting out "mine!" and laughing like a mad man.

    also, i'm 100% for a confederated galaxy. neither empire nor republic has worked.

    Snoke should only return as a haunting vision for Ren. Or he's even haunting Hux - "General, General! You have to kill Ren. It's your destiny." xD

    I think George would have used Plagueis. Think about it: the last non canon book he was involved with was Darth Plagueis. Shortly after the book was released George sold SW to Disney with a bunch of treatments.

    This. It does strike me as odd that we are to believe that the only condition he did set, was for Disney to make a Han Solo movie, if he was going to sell SW to them.

    i didn't know that. that is weird.
    also, it would explain a lot about why Disney made a movie no one asked for.

    Here's how I would tell the story of Episode IX, with events leading to a final battle.

    Hux realizes that he lacks Force powers to overthrow Kylo and executes a plan to do so. He connects the dots from the time he served under Snoke and finds out the supposedly undisclosed location where the rest of the Knights of Ren (KoR) were serving a life sentence. Hux discovers that Snoke had been keeping the KoR as potential replacements in case had Kylo died. The KoR acknowledge Hux as their saviour and follow him. Rose discovers Hux's plan, but it's Finn and Poe who secretly travel with R2 and BB8 to intercept Hux. However, they are later persuaded by him to form a temporary alliance to bring Kylo down and the FO with him.

    They all seek out Kylo Ren at the FO's HQ after easily defeating many of his first-line defenders. After storming into the Supreme Leader's throne room, the group discovers a calm Kylo, who was waiting for them, without any of his guards. Kylo gives an eloquent speech, praising his leadership, the dark side of the Force, and at the same time pointing out all the mistakes from his predecessor Snoke and the strategic military failures of Hux. He turns all the KoR in his favor, leaving Hux, Poe and Finn practically defenceless, completely outnumbered and overpowered. They wouldn't stand a chance at them. Kylo announces he had already replaced Hux with a far more efficient and experienced military leader: someone who has just returned from a long exile that he didn't seek and deserve. Behind Hux, we see a tall blue man with red eyes and white uniform approaching: Grand Admiral Thrawn. He kills Hux with one shot. Kylo gives the order to kill the traitors, Poe and Finn, but he's stopped by Thrawn's idea to use them, in their much bigger plan to crush the resistance. He suggests to let go one of them to tell "the message", but they realize that the Resistance's ship has already left.

    The resistance ship escapes, piloted by captain R2-D2, who is now an emancipated droid, assisted by BB8. They outsmart their FO fighters and made a safe return to the Resistance base. After learning the news (using BB8's projection of what was recorded remotely from Poe's chest camera at the FO's throne room), their enthusiasm is very low. Rey and her new teenager Padawan (Broom boy) wouldn't be a match for Kylo and his KoR. Moreover, the resistance army is concerned about their lack of knowledge about the FO's mysterious grand admiral. Rey has a vision of Luke who tells her to never lose hope and to seek out new allies, in unexpected places, and that this would be an ultimate test for her. Rey and the Broom boy track down in Endor a retired general who might know something about the mysterious admiral: Hera Syndulla, who shares with them some stories about the early days of the rebellion. They also meet Hera's son: Jacen Syndulla, who is now over 40 years old, but still unaware of his force-sensitive skills, being also the son of the late Kanan Jarrus, Jedi Knight. Hera had preferred to leave Jacen out of any war and had kept him out of Luke's radar. Rey tells her times have changed and Jacen must meet his own destiny. Hera informs Rey that Kanan's lightsaber was lost when he died and never recovered.

    Rose, R2 and commander C3-PO (another emancipated droid) track down Thrawn's potential return path. Using reverse-engeneering, they follow back this path and found a stranded ship. In that ship, they find three capsules in suspended animation. They bring them to the Resistance HQ. Rey and Broom boy also return with Jacen. At HQ, they realize the bodies in suspended animation belong to: Sabine Wren, Ahsoka Tano and Ezra Bridger. They are all reanimated and tell the stories of how they ended up stranded for so many decades. Ezra informs that in their last encounter with Thrwan in a far region of the Galaxy, he managed to recover Kanan's lightsaber. He hands it to Jacen and makes him his Padawan. "I will teach you the ways of the Force; the way your father taught me."

    With these new allies, they start putting together a plan to take the FO HQ by force and save Poe and Finn in the process. Creating a successful plan takes too long for Rose Tico's taste. She convinces Sabine to help save her friends. Sabine quickly accepts as she would have done the same thing in her place. They recruit captain R2 and Chopper.

    Rey's parents appear at the Resistance HQ, asking for forgiveness. Rey forgives them and tries to hug them, but they stop her with a sign. They refuse the hug saying they feel too ashamed for what they have done, and don't deserve it yet. She tells them that it was the will of the Force, as being alone made her stronger and eventually a valuable member of the resistance. Her parents ask her to leave the war and go with them. Rey refuses as this is a particular critical time for the Galaxy and for the first time, they have an incredible chance to defeat the FO with the help of the new Force-sensitive recruits: Broom boy, Jacen, Ezra and Ahsoka. They would only need a few more days to finalize this plan and strike. After that, she promises to join them. Her parents say they will patiently wait for that big hug and leave her with that hope.

    Minutes later, the FO starts a massive surprise strike at the Resistance base, which was supposed to be a secret location. The KoR land on the planet and start beating up resistance soldiers. Kylo and a female KoR appear next to Rey as a Force projection and thank her for her assistance and the valuable information she provided them. Rey realizes these two had impersonated her parents using Force Projection. This leaves Rey devastated, feeling responsible as there were clues (the refusal of a simple hug) that she ignored because she really wanted her parents to be alive and seek her out some day.

    The super battle includes space battle, land battle and lightsaber battles. Ezra shares with Rey his story, about how he deeply wanted his parents to be alive and put everyone at risk during the early days of the rebellion. This helps Rey return to the battle. Ahsoka kicks ass like usual with her two blades; Jacen and Broom boy are not shy in beating a couple of KoR in self-defence, assisted by BB8 and C3PO. However, they're later easily disarmed by Kylo and the female KoR. They're held hostage at the Central Command room (CCR) with a lightsaber blade close to their necks. Kylo asks Rey, Ahsoka and Ezra for complete unconditional surrender. They handed over they lightsabers, while BB8 made some sad beeps, and C3PO says "be quite you baby droid, or you're going to get us all killed". Seconds later, the place is stormed by an air strike. Kylo is angry that his fighters didn't respect his orders of avoiding the CCR. To his surprise, Thrawn informs him that the attack came from a resistance vessel. Rose, Poe, Finn and Sabine enter the CCR and fire at will. The droids are happy to see their fellow friends R2D2 and Chopper to join. C3PO says "Of course, I knew you were giving captain R2 our location!". Sabine throws some grenades to create a diversion so that the resistance Force-sensitive warriors recover their lightsabers. A more intense fight takes place. More KoR are killed. Ezra finally kills Thrawn. Kylo has a last attempt of redemption in front of Rey, but nobody believes him. He tries one more time to reach a lightsaber and strike, but he is sliced by five lightsabers at the same time: from Ahsoka(2), Jacen, Broom Boy and Rey.

    The Force ghosts of Luke and Yoda appear in front of them, only visible to those who are Force-Sensitive. Luke reveals to Rey that after these events, she has now achieved the rank of Jedi Knight. Yoda does the same for Ezra. Yoda says that with two Jedi Knights and two padawans, they're going to need guidance from a wise mind if the intention is to rebuild the Jedi Order. He invites Ahsoka Tano, who had left the order as an apprentice more than 50 years ago, to return as Grand Master of the new Jedi Council. With her acceptance, an new era of peace is inaugurated in the Galaxy.

    The End.

    PS: Please, don't dislike the story just because you haven't watched The Clone Wars or Rebels. I'm fully aware Disney haven't take them into consideration in Episodes VII and VIII. However, that cameo of Maul in Solo made me think perhaps someday, they will make all paths lead to a common end.

    Final Battle:
    1. Poe Dameron and his Black Squadron will take the battle in space along with new Rebellion Alliance Ships ( My wish list: Mandalorian, Mercenaries, Criminal Syndicates, and maybe Lando's fleet of ships).
    2. Finn and Rose will lead the ground army. Finn will shine as a leader of the Rebellion Army.
    3. The part I am unsure of: Yes there will be a climactic lightsaber battle, but how it will go down is unclear. Will the battle be between Rey and Kylo Ren?. (or) Will they fight together to defeat the Knights of Ren or some other Darkside adversary?

    Since rumor has it that this will be the last episode of the Skywalker saga, I would like to have the final battle to be epic and breathtaking. (duel)(x-wing)(tie)(falcon)(x-wing 2)(at-at)(a-wing)(falcon 2)(stormtrooper)(kylo ren):D:D:D:D:D

    Is Kelly Marie Tran part of the cast for "EPISODE IX"? I haven't seen any sign that she is.



    I'd probably be upchucking if I saw this on the movie screen.

    Kasdan also just came back to write TFA if he gets to write Solo. Apparently George und Kasdan really wanted to tell this story. I don't know why though. It wasn't that special...

    We don't know yet. The cast will be announced in a couple of days. But I'm sure we'll be in IX (hopefully not too big of a role though). We really need the screentime for Rey, Finn, Poe and Kylo.
