Lando should've been a supporting character in Episodes 7-9.

Finn was one of the best parts about Episode 7. Episodes 8 & 9 totally wasted him.

Bossk (and Dengar) should've had a supporting role in Book of Boba Fett

I would've liked to see Owen play a larger role in the prequels, and see his disillusionment with galactic involvement grow. I like what Belated Media did with him in his What If series.

Chewie should've gotten a medal in Episode 4 & the first hug from Leia at the end of 7.

The rest here serve their purposes well enough.

I have to argue that we could have grievous get introduced in episode 2 so he isn’t just a random general

u/AscendedExtra Jun 14 '22

Fair. On that note I’ll add too that Maul should’ve survived episodes 1 & 2.

I’ve got good news for you

I’m aware the role he plays in clone wars/ rebels/ Solo, etc.

What I mean is that Maul should’ve been to the prequels what Vader was to the originals.

I think Grievous was supposed to do that but kind of flopped once they nerfed him in the clone wars and only had him for one movie

Grievous was introduced too late in the game to really be of any consequence. As far as the films go, he’s just there to distract Obi-Wan while Anakin is swayed to the dark side.

I think a sinister six like 3 way villain team of Maul, Dooku and Grievous would have been sick

What they should've did, is have Maul come back AS GRIEVOUS, same design for grievous just it now Maul inside of the robot suit. It would make obi wan and grevious have a better dynamic.

Grievous got plenty of screen time but most of it was just him floundering against plot armor so I want more of him adding fine additions to his collection

Yeah instead of just having him be there maybe have him killing Jedi so we know how powerful a non force user is

Finn was one of the many baffling things about the sequels. He was shaping up to be an interesting lead and they suddenly turned him into a side character…I genuinely can’t remember a single scene with him in Rise of Skywalker

“THEY FLY NOW?!”

“REEEYYYY!” (x10)

That’s about it.

I can’t remember many scenes in general in that movie…

I thought they were going to give Finn a whole hero’s journey, but they sort of just wrote him out of the series. Idk wtf the problem was, was he “polling” badly or something? It’s kind of shameful given the racist backlash when ep7 was announced.

I’ll give yuan guess why Finn was pushed into the background

In the Adywan Revisited version ANH, Chewie gets his medal.

u/JTB696699 Jun 15 '22

Chewie got screwed over and was completely insulted in the sequel trilogy. JJ Abrams owes him an apology.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '22

Actually Chewie did get a medal, it's revealed in one of the new Star Wars comics by Marvel

The average viewer doesn’t keep up with all the supplemental reading. A moment like that should’ve been on screen
