Your ideas for IX's plot.

It depends if you want your expectations to be subverted.

 

Let me guess,

Snoke is not really dead.

Rey is secretly Luke’s kid.

Finn is Lando ’s son( if this happens, then f*ck this series)

Kylo Ren has a five built death stars surrounding Kashyyk.

Kylo Ren is redeemed and flies away with Chewie(this is mostly likely to happen) on the flacon.

Luke come back as a force ghost and conjures up lightning to fight Snoke’s


When Rey is a Skywalker, there will be outrage by TLj defenders saying “how dare you change RJ’s profound take!” on twitter.

“Rey being a skywalker ruins the notion that anyone can be a Jedi! Even though there are thousand years worth of Jedi. Now she comes from a royal bloodline, even though Anakin was the fallen one, who is basically the spawn of Satan"



After all the outrage on twitter, here’s what we'll get:

 

is this what we're all doing now? destroying someone's new thread with sarcasm because you didn't like a movie?
add to the discussion or leave the thread alone.. that's beyond rude.

i hope a mod cleans this up for you @Sparafucile as it's a good idea for a thread, and i liked your idea.

 

Womp womp. It's been months get over it.

 

I hope IX has a significant time jump, something about 2-3 years. The FO reigns a huge part of the galaxy, but the crazy thing is: the galaxy actually likes Supreme Leader Ren while the Resistance and its leader Poe Dameron is despised. So, the Resistance has a big task to fulfill. First they have to prove the FO is evil and bad for the galaxy. Secondly they have to plan how to defeat them.

So this is my rough plot which focuses on the characters:

KYLO REN
Kylo Ren is pretty much into the dark side (at least for the whole first act). The FO may be popular and successful through out the galaxy, but it's not because of Kylo's doing. He only cares about finding Rey. Hux doesn't like that and wants to overthrow the Supreme Leader. But he can't do it alone, he either needs the help of the entire FO or the help of the Knights Of Ren. But the KOR are quite loyal to Kylo Ren, so Hux has to incite them to betray Kylo. Maybe Hux tells them that Kylo doesn't care about Vader's legacy anymore or something like that.

So, the relationship between Kylo and Hux should play a siginficant role to the plot. Kylo is also haunted by Snoke and/or Luke. Luke could troll him from time to time. Anakin's force ghost should also have an appearence.

POE/FINN:
Poe and Finn are on a mission to gain supporters for the Resistance and to reveal the real goals of the FO. They meet up with Lando, Maz and new characters. This plot should have an adventure like feeling to it. Like Indiana Jones.

EDIT: I still hope the Stormtrooper Revolution led by Finn is still a thing.

REY:
Rey is on a mission all by herself. She's looking for force sensitive beings and Jedi stuff. Maybe she's also looking for parts to fix the Skywalker saber, because right now it's quite badly fixed. Her plot is intertwined with Kylo's one (maybe force skype). But she's also in contact with Poe and Finn. Luke will also appear to her to guide her.


Kylo Ren should be successfully betrayed by the end of the second act. He doesn't know where to go, so he seeks out Rey who helps him. But he isn't redeemed yet and they will still fight in the third act. My dream scenario would be if they fight on Mustafar and Kylo beats Rey. But before he strikes her down he sees the Skywalker lightsaber and something (maybe a flashback or a vision) is triggered and he becomes Ben Solo again (it's easily put, I know).

Now Ben Solo will help the Resistance to defeat the FO and Supreme Leader Hux in one final battle.

 

I like that one, but I would still like Ben be fully redeemed at the end. Add the subplot of Finn starting a mtiny inside the stormtroopers with a lot of them following Finn into a battle against the FO. At the end when Rose, Poe, Finn and Rey reunite let Ben silently sneak away.
End the movie with showing Ben at Lukes former Jedi Temple and build it up again (may be help of a broom boy could be helpful to clean all the mess he left) with Luke watching from far, showing that he's back to the light.

 

Ok I was clearly joking but if you can’t take a joke then....

 

@Maximus I apologize if I made you mad, I was being goofy and having fun. I don’t judge those or wish any ill on people who love TLJ. I myself don’t actually hate it, I just find it muddling and frustrating but that’s just me.

With that being said, I don’t think it’s the end of Snoke and I would not be surprised if Rey was Luke’s daughter the whole time.

There is really no where to go if Kylo Ren is just the main villain after all this. Think about it, after ROTJ, Han and Leia had a child who was spoiled and evil. He became a dictator, then died. The End. That’s just depressing and makes the first three films rather pointless.

The way it will work with ReySky is that there will be a flashback of Luke coming out of the hut in the rain shouting Rey after talking to Leia. Perhaps it will be revealed that to Luke that Rey is his kid.

I also think we will see the Whills or Snoke, who was the one that manipulated Luke beyond his control to think of killing Ben in the flashback.

In TLJ, we curiously see the seal of a mysterious Jedi when Luke reaches out to Leia on the island the first time. Who is this mysterious Jedi? Snoke? There’s got to be more to it. Otherwise TLJ is a pointless exercise. We will learn the origins of the Jedi.

If the movie just ends with Ben Solo just being redeemed, then it’ll just be a big shrug. They have to tie in all 9 movies into one cohesive story.

 

Slightly off topic but 9 will be the most predictable SW fim ever.

Hux dies 100% sure.
Rey lives 100% sure.

Kylo dies 100% with a redemption chance of 80%.

FO defeated 100% but not destroyed. This sets them up as big baddies 4 future spin offs.

Finn lives 100% sure.
Poe lives 95% sure.

Snoke in flashbacks only. 60% sure.

The only big mystery 2 me is what 2 do with Leia.

 

Furthermore predictable movies can be good too.

 

your making this about TLJ.. we need to rise above this.
If a new member signs up tomorrow, jumps into this section and sees your thread.. seeing first replies like that is a really really bad thing. We all go off topic and down all sorts of rabbit holes in threads.. but whining immature replies like the first one here sets an ugly precedent.
it’s not about TLJ, it’s forum basics

no, I apologise bro.
I wasn’t happy about the post before your one, and I was too mad to see the humour in your post. what I did was not cool.

 

Act 1:

It has been 5 years. The galaxy is prosperous and doing well under Ben's rule and has gotten rid of "The First Order" name. Everything is as it should be, or so it seems to the galaxy at large. There is peace. In the mean time, Ben has shed his Kylo Ren persona and has publicly and openly embraced his past as Darth Vader's grandson. Ben has been trying to find information on who Anakin Skywalker really was in the jedi temple on Coruscant to no avail due to Palpatine's efforts to hide the truth. On his way to Luke's old temple, which he destroyed, he is unknowingly tracked there by The KOR. They are not called The KOR anymore, but still wear the same armor and weapons. They heard about Luke's sacrifice and are out to avenge him against Ben. Dominic's character was the second-in-command to the KOR and tries to talk him down similar to Obi-Wan vs. Anakin and they duel while the rest of the KOR watch on at Luke's old temple. Ben overpowers him easily due to his size and they agree to a truce. The KOR want to show Ben the truth about the force and his heritage.

Meanwhile...

General Hux is hiding on a backwater planet called Baatu, a legendary planet beyond the outer rim. He has been stripped of his rank by Ben right after TLJ and was marooned on the planet with nothing to his name. This planet also happens to be ridden with citizens who call themselves Rebels, where cells have popped up since the story of Luke Skywalker's sacrifice spread. Hux has been laying low doing anything to survive, especially if that means taking down his main rival. He keeps hearing how his father never had any sort of faith in him and he feels that it is time to move on.

The newly-reformed Rebel Alliance operates on Kashyyk, using former military bases from The Clone Wars era and utilizing Clone Trooper armor that was left behind during The Battle of Kashyyk. Chewbacca is reunited with his family and Leia is recovering peacefully. Poe is still very hot headed over the fact that there is nothing to fight for and believes that General Hux is the key to finding Leia's son and killing him. CUT TO: Rey is training in the forests of Kashyyk, who's trees have a high resistance to the plasma blades and the blaster bolts of the blasters everyone uses. It is at this time that the rebels start getting classified information about the first order that the galaxy doesnt see. Being the politician that she is, Leia suggests using this information to put a new regime in power. Leia sends Rey, Finn, Poe, and Rose to Baatu, where they tracked the signal to find this mysterious leaker. On their way to Baatu, all of them cannot stop arguing, especially Poe and Rey. When they enter baatu, the MF is damaged and cannot land because of some bounty hunters, who see a secret order by the FO to track down the falcon. Poe and Finn take an escape pod to the surface. Rey and Rose task themselves to go to Mandalore, which has not seen much success in decades.

Rey and Rose reach Mandalore and have their ship repaired. They explore Mandalore together and find that there is no leader. It is here that the mandalorians come to respect her literally because she has a lightsaber and they have not seen one since the jedi order. Bo Katan's son tries to give her the dark saber, but is stopped by the lawless bounty hunters that are secretly running the planet under Crimson Dawn, not realizing that Maul has been dead for decades. They decide to duel to the death and Rey's green lightsaber is cut in half again. She uses the force to capture the darksaber and the mandalorians bow down to her, including Bo Katan's son. He offers her the throne and asks her to lead the take over of the republic but she refuses, not believing in the galaxy's citizens serving a higher master, as that is what she grew up with. it is here that we learn Rey's true history. As Bo's son takes her through the palace to convince her, he explains that Obi-Wan and Satine wanted to have a family but his duty forbade him so they used Kamino's cloning technology to have a daughter. To protect her, they froze her in carbonite until the day came that they would be free from The Empire. After both of her parents were killed, Bo Katan and the mandalorians swore allegiance to her and dropped her off on Jaaku as far away as possible out of fear for her life in hopes that she would return to wield the dark saber. Rey picks up the dark saber but finds out that in order for Leia's plan to work, she has to follow the planet's customs and lead the bounty hunters.


Act 2:

Ben is incessantly trying to contact Rey through the force but something is blocking him, and the force feels very familial to him. However, he cannot pinpoint what it is and feels that he is losing his grasp on the force. He calls his home the old jedi temple on coruscant with the old KOR. His best friend, Dominic, has no idea he is the new supreme leader since the KOR have been outside of the galaxy. Ben is lost but feels found with his old friends. During his most recent meditation session (same room where Yoda and Anakin talked in ROTS about loss), Ben finds Luke Skywalker through the force. They do a joint meditation and enter into the world between worlds, mentally speaking. They have a heart to heat conversation and Luke reveals that he has gained the true powers of the force that not even Darth Plaeguis could unlock and has cheated death and can walk between worlds. He tells Ben that he needs to drop his insane quest and bring the universe to peace. Ben then wakes up in his bed as if he has just experienced a nightmare and decides to ignore it, similar to anakin in ROTS. He feels that he needs to find Rey immediately and solidify himself as the top of the pack in the universe. With red and yellow eyes and a crazy look, he flies off into hyperspace to find Rey using nothing but her force signature.

Meanwhile...

Poe and Finn have been travelling on alien animals for weeks to no avail and drinking water from plants and look almost emaciated. They are on the outskirts of the town thay Rey dropped them off to and encounter a blonde man who looks like a young, late 20s/early 30s lumberjack with long hair. The three of them do not trust each other at first since Baatu is more lawless than Jakku and Tattooine, where your best friend would kill you to survive. This mysterious man allows them to contact the rebels but Rey and Rose are the closest signal they can each with a boost (harkening back to AOTC). This man over hears the conversation and contacts someone.

Leia is feeling more and more faint as her physical self deteriorates due damage in TLJ. Luke comes to visit her and she thinks she is hallucinating. Luke explains to her that it is time for her to move on and that she will always have a role in this universe no matter what. Luke lives in his physical form as Leia fades away into the force. Since Leia was not fully trained int he ways of the force, Luke silently transfers his force powers into Leia so she can officially become "one with the force ." As Leia fades, she says, "There is another...I believe in him, Luke.." Luke is now a mere mortal again with no force powers so he has to find any maps. Threepio and Artoo mourn her loss and offer Luke help and help to pilot him to Baatu since they are the only ones that were entrusted with Poe, Finn, Rey, and Rose's mission. Luke decides to avenge his twin sister and find the truth.

Back on Mandalore, Rey is stranded on the planet because they do not want her to leave. She gets a message from Poe and Finn that they need her and Rose's help immediately and to contact the rest of the rebels on Kassyyk. Rey tries to leave but the Mandalorians will not let them leave at all. Rose tries to fight but sacrifices herself to save Rey when all heck breaks loose during the firefight. Rey uses the force to push a few bounty hunters off of a cliff, gets back into the falcon and heads for Baatu.

Act 3:

Ben is informed by Mas Ammeda that they have to act fast, based on his sources that the rebel alliance is moving for one, final battle across the galaxy. The KOR, including Ben's old friend, are all with him and are trying to turn him back. He gets angry and they have an epic battle where he kills all of the KOR and spares his friend's life. However, his friend, feeling ashamed, blames himself for Ben's "Kylo" persona and kills himself with his own weapon rather than continue to see what Ben has become. This destroys Ben and convinces him to finally go back to the light.

Rey is back on Kashyyk rallying the troops only to find that Leia has suddenly passed and that Luke Skywalker is still alive. Luke keeps his secret of not having the force anymore to himself, in the fact that his midichlorians now lay dormant. Without the force in his system, Luke is dying again and wil not be able to come back. He is basically leading a suicide mission to Corsuscant to save his only remaining family member and his mentor's daughter. Rey, with her newfound sense of pride in her own family. leads the mission to Baatu. She is Red One. Luke is Red Five (Standing by). They fly in new-gen X-Wings, stolen from the Ben's new republic, to the planet with Chewie flying support. They hit lightspeed and are on their way.

Back on Baatu, Poe and Finn are stranded in the cabin of this mysterious stranger. While he rests, Poe is messing around with a ranom astromech droid and, while cleaning it, finds a message from the FO from 5 years earlier. The stranger puts a gun to his and Finn's heads and reveals himself to be Hux, who has been the mole working directly with Leia. He refused to reveal himself because he did not know who to trust after being exiled.

Rey's team is abushed in hyperspace by some people that Ben has sent to track them. They are destroyed in the Annoat system, where Luke contacts an old friend for help. Lando rescues the two of them to Bespin, which is now an outer rim territory that handles people in need that are veterans from the galactic civil war on both sides. Lando convinces some of them to volunteer to fight for the good cause and they take new ships to Baatu.

On Baatu, Poe and Finn are in shock at Hux's sudden change in his personality. They go on a mission of their own to secretly contact Rey in town. Baatu is even more lawless than Jakku and Tattooine, so they blend right in, even with Hux's obvious disguise. They are caught by Ben's people and are escorted to his personal ship on the planet by bounty hunters, who happen to be mandalorians. It is at this time that Rey and Luke arrive to the planet with a ragtag fighting team of troops wearing armor from multiple generations form clones to first order troopers. Chewie is wearing armor plating and leads the ground assault, and Rey/Luke lead the aerial battle. Finn, Poe, and Hux run into chewie while trying to escape the planet and he tries to rip off Hux's arms. Chewie does not buy into Hux's change in his personality. They contact Ben and and Ben agrees to a truce if he can have Hux. Ben is too far gone even after committing to the light.

Rey lands her fighter on Baatue to find Finn. She immediately runs into Ben, who has staged all of this just to get at her. They engage in a lightsaber duel while a re-captured Hux, Finn and Poe, watch on. Luke talks to Obi-Wan while in his own dog fight and decides to help Rey but his ship is badly damaged. He crash lands on the planet, severely injured. He makes his way to the fight and uses the last of his energy to save Rey, who is about to be struck down. In Luke's last moments, he flashes back to the cave on Dagobah with Yoda during the OT and Ben somehow sees this memory. By this time, Luke finally succumbs to his injuries and passes out. Hux escapes in the commotion and but sees Rey getting up for a last stand.

Back in space, the rebels have one and decide to descend to the surface. By this point no one is left in the fight. Ben decides to stop fighting and once again tries to turn Rey. However, Rey refuses saying that he is the last of the skywalkers and they should be building an alliance for the sake of the galaxy. Ben, being selfish, tries to rush Rey with his saber, but Rey uses the same dark saber from Mandalor and strikes him. She holds him in her arms and apologizes and the both with that things would have turned differently. Ben refuses treatment and prefers to die to make up for his sins.

The last shots are of a montage before the credits: Rey and Poe burning the last of The Skywalkers...Rey searching the galaxy for force sensitive individuals...Poe going back home to the fs tree and showing signs that he might be a force user...Finn working as Poe's teammate...and finally Hux reforming the government in secret in sector 1313 on Coruscant, bring the aspect of the PT back in full circle.

 

Kylo Ren rules the galaxy with an iron fist but all fighting has ceased. The KOR of arrive at the FO capitol with Lando as prisoner. The KOR have been traveling the galaxy recruiting and training new KOR. Unlike Sith, KOR have no rule of two.

Meanwhile Rey has been recruiting new Jedi throughout the galaxy and telling them to pass on their knowledge to others. One of Rey’s Jedi betrays her to Kylo.

Kylo tries to negotiate with Rey but they end up fighting and Kylo beats her. Luke appears to stop Kylo from killing her. Rey is left to die but is captured by bounty hunters. Rey has a bounty on her head for allegedly killing Snoke. She calls to Finn through the force for help. Poe, Finn, and Chewie go on a rescue mission to save her.

Meanwhile the KOR rebel against Kylo for trying to negotiate. Amidst the Chaos, Lando ecscapes and rescues an unconscious Kylo Ren. During Kylo’s coma, he has a vision of Anakin who shows him all the terrible things he’s done.
Kylo is tortured with guilt. Leia comforts him as he thrashes about. Kylo wakes up a changed man.

Rey, Finn, and Poe return to the rebel base where a city of refugees is being protected. The FO attacks. There is a giant space battle near the planet and giant land battle outside the city. An army of KOR fight an army of Jedi. Kylo fights along side Rey with the Skywalker lightsaber welded back together. Rey fights with Luke’s green saber.

The good guys win. The End.

 

I hope for a story about "new" (and old hope with Rey leading the "Spark" that burns the FO down.
I hope for story about the reunion of the Rebellion (and for the reunion of fandom).
We live in world that accelerates gaps in society. Loads of people seem to run in a strange direction. We talk about things that divide us instead of things that unite us. We are torn apart.

Hopefully we will see Ren finding peace; as a symbol for a GFFA that learns to have faith in its own future again.
A peaceful end between Rey and Ren would be the ultimate symbol for overcoming the extreme ends of the same coin.

 

That would be amazing. The places that Anakin fell, Coruscant or Mustafar, is the places that Ben returns......

It rhymes.
