Restructure the movie, get rid of the needless plot lines, get rid of the third act and end it after the praeterorian guard fight with Kylo still making the leave the past behind speech, but also going as far as to call off the attack on the Rebel transport ships and then asking Rey to join him. Rey shockingly accepts his offer and the movie ends by setting up a sequel of the likes of which we've never seen in a Star Wars movie with limitless possibilities.The way they did it in the movie, what is there to look forward to in episode IX? Kylo immediately lost all of his glorious character development he got in this movie after Rey rejected his offer and reverted to the petulant man-child phase, so he's no longer a villain to be taken seriously and Rey has already kicked his ass before. General Hux is a joke. Captain Phamsa is a joke. Han is dead. Luke is dead. Leia is dead. Snoke is not only dead, but also a joke and a poor man's Palpatine, so bringing him back would be silly.
i think these are some solid ideas but
1- Snoke would be dead in your revision
2- if you take out the needless plot points, what would you insert to make the movie 150 minutes long?
does snoke die and if not how would you change that in what we saw to your revision?
i think ending TLJ on a cliff hanger
does Rey accept Kylo's offer or not?
so we don't see whether Rey accepts Kylo's offer as a lead in to episode 9
would be a good cliff hanger - just as rey offering luke a lightsaber was the cliff hanger lead in from TFA
why would Hux listen to Kylo call off the attack? in TLJ Hux saw Snoke dead and Kylo force choked him.
what would episode 9 then be about in your vision?
romance between Kylo and Rey?
carrie fisher is dead but i missed the part of leia being dead.
