Did the Force ghost of opportunity pass right through Disney's hands? In this week's episode, we're diving deep into the galaxy far, far away to dissect a massive "what if" surrounding the sequel trilogy. Specifically, we're asking: could Carrie Fisher's untimely passing and the divisive reception of The Last Jedi have been the catalyst for a bold, new era of Star Wars?
Inspired by Paul at Heavy Spoilers, we're tackling the pitfalls of nostalgia and how they might have steered the saga off course. We explore how Leia's intended role in Episode IX was impacted, the Colin Trevorrow exit, and the ripple effects that led to The Rise of Skywalker's… let's just say, conservative approach.
Imagine an Episode IX that begins with Leia's death, a Kylo Ren shattered by grief, and a Resistance led by Rey, Poe, Finn, and Rose, standing on their own two feet. Could this have been the clean break Star Wars desperately needed? A chance to forge a truly new path, unshackled from the past?
Join us as we dissect this missed opportunity and debate whether a bold reboot could have saved the sequel trilogy. Fire up your thrusters and let us know what you think in the comments – was this a path worth exploring, or were we destined for the Skywalker saga to end as it did? May the Force (and your opinions) be with us!
