Re: Hated characters
We had a child Rodian in ep1. No child Wookiees, Toydarians, Hutts or any other baby aliens. Gack ! 😘
No triangles of any kind...love, family, political, whatever.
Keep the technology low...I thought the helmets the Naboo pilots used in ep1 were appropriately primitive compared to the OT stuff. I know this is a minor detail, but it really jumped out at me when I saw the movie. Showing the construction of partially completed or prototype hardware from OT is okay, but don't go overboard. No half-completed death stars.
More of Palpatine's deceit and corruption in more detail. I want more of his devious plans revealed. His conversations with Maul in ep1 were too short and choppy.
No happy ending. No midi-chlorian soup. No Jar Jar stepping in Bantha poodoo again. I could go on and on here, but there's some basics.
