I understand and support the shift towards newer characters in the franchise but I feel BB-8 is a little over-used, the AT-ST scene comes to mind, and I want Artoo to get at least one more moment to shine before the trilogy is over. It’s a great scene, maybe my favourite of the film, but compared with BB-8 the old rust-bucket gets very little to do. Sure, I’m fine with him being dormant for most of The Force Awakens but I expected more of him in The Last Jedi where he only really gets one scene. He’s iconic and a staple of the franchise and I feel the droid has been short-changed so far in the sequel trilogy. He saves our heroes more times than we can count throughout the original and prequel trilogies and is the protagonist of the first act of the very first Star Wars film. R2-D2 is one of the most important characters in Star Wars. Just a couple of lines commenting on the state of the galaxy would be enough or even easier just show a map which details the parts of the galaxy that the First Order controls, the parts that the Resistance and its allies control and then what systems are independent or run by criminal or corporate factions. I would be open to the politics being a big part but it doesn’t have to be.

This leaves many questions such as how much of the galaxy do the First Order control? How long will it take for them to seize full control? Who will oppose them? It will be easy to keep Episode IX character focused and for the most part it should be but I do want to get a sense of what is happening in the wider galaxy. The sequel trilogy is different however because in The Force Awakens the ruling galactic government was destroyed and the galaxy was thrown into chaos that the rising First Order will try to now control. There wasn’t all that much need for politics on a galactic level in the original trilogy because the set up was very basic: the evil Empire rules the galaxy and the Rebellion tries to take it down which they succeed in doing in Return of the Jedi. Politics might be a dirty word to some Star Wars fans due to the prequels (which I will always argue have great stories and characters but were just poorly executed) but I feel politics are a very important part of the franchise. The time jump would also see Kylo in a different position as Supreme Leader and the First Order in a more politically stable position. Leia will be a difficult and sensitive issue for the film to manage but a time jump could help explain her absence whether they choose that the character died off-screen in the interim or something else. The time jump could cement Finn as a hero of the Resistance, continuing his arc from the previous two movies and Poe could now be in more of a leadership position in the Resistance. Maybe ‘Broom-Kid’ from the end of The Last Jedi but I think his character and the final scene was included to show hope is still alive in the galaxy rather than setting up a new character. The jump forward in time, say 3 years (the same between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back), will allow Rey to discover the Jedi code, train herself in a more proper fashion and maybe even set up a new academy for other force-users. I believe The Last Jedi is all the better for it but with Episode IX I think a time jump would be a wise decision. The Last Jedi became the first Star Wars sequel to pick up straight after the previous film, propelling us back to the evacuation of D’Qar and Rey meeting Luke on Ahch-To. Below I’ve listed five hopes I have for the concluding chapter of the sequel trilogy after seeing, and enjoying, The Last Jedi. JJ Abrams will return to helm Episode IX and what a task it will be and I’m sure in 2 years the Internet will once again be ablaze with polarising opinions. The Last Jedi feels like it is setting up a whole new trilogy of possibilities rather than just one ‘final’ film to round out the sequel trilogy. That’s not to say there are no issues with the filmmaking because I believe there are, misjudged humour and pacing issues, but overall, I really enjoyed the film and the bold choices writer/director Rian Johnson made. It’s proved controversial with some fans not accepting the versions of the characters and events explored in the film, which are different from the storylines they have developed in their minds for the last few years. If you didn’t know, The Last Jedi, the 8 th film in the Star Wars saga (Rogue One and The Clone Wars not withstanding) has been released.
