Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
WithStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalkerjust over six month off from hitting screen and giving us all something to talk about this Christmas , the moving-picture show ’s theater director , JJ Abrams , has promised to give audiences a comforting last to the saga by producing a chapter that ties everything from the original , prequel and sequel trilogy together .
That mean fans would be right to expect some cameo from some cheek we ’ve insure before . After all , Star Warshas never shy away from fan military service . With this being the accumulation of nine films and over 40 eld of body of work , we now take a look at the character we want — and do n’t want — to appear again .
Want: Maz Kanata
Star Wars : The Force Awakensintroduced fan to the quirky character of Maz Kanata whose dingy palace on Takodana come under siege from Kylo Ren and the First Order . However , while we know she has been around long enough to see the Republic fall , arise , and then fall again , Lupita Nyong’o ’s role in the saga still need clarifying .
She made a abbreviated and comedic appearance inThe Last Jeditwo years ago but fans are still eager to know more about her backstory . How did she get hold of Luke Skywalker ’s lightsaber — the one he lost at the workforce of Darth Vader on Cloud City — for starters ? That was a story promised to be told ‘ another time ’ and now , JJ Abrams must hand over on that .
Want: Supreme Leader Snoke
The Rise of Skywalkerwill reportedly go into point about Kylo Ren ’s decision to train under Snoke , and this could be told via flashback . It would be satisfying to see the deceased ’s backstory explained , filling in the gaps and giving us more reason to believe Serkis ’ wild title . Resurrection is n’t out of the question either , but , with Emperor Palpatine come back in some form , two returns may be require for a bit too much .
Don’t Want: DJ
Hopes and expectations were in high spirits when it was announced that Hollywood ikon Benicio del Toro would be come on board forStar warfare : The Last Jedi . However , his type disc jockey was an utter tragedy and was trash by movie - goers and critics likewise , with many questioning why he was even regard in the first space .
DJ initially helps Resistance twain Finn and Rose Tico , but then betrays them . ( Shock , repulsion ! ) But his reference is just so , so bland . It seems the primary rationality for his involvement was but so he could be used as a way of indicate that , despite both having very different ideas about how to predominate the Galaxy , the Resistance and First Order are … the same . Nobody come down for it , and nobody want him back , either .
Want: Luke Skywalker
Death is n’t the end inStar Wars;George Lucas made the decision to fetch Obi - Wan Kenobi back via a power ghost for the Empire Strikes Back despite Alec Guinness ’ fiber perish in the previous movie . Since then , we ’ve watch Yoda and Anakin Skywalker also acquired a shiny down in the mouth outline and that same appears to lie in delay for Luke Skywalker , who snuff it inThe Last Jedi .
However , if Palpatine has somehow manage to regain a way to return , why ca n’t Luke do the same ? He was the most sinewy Jedi in the Galaxy at the time of his passing game and , though a force ghost version of the former farm boy would invoke , contribute him back in physical form would rage up the fervour substantially . We need more Luke — just do n’t make him the same disgruntled and moody git he was in the previous outing .
Don’t Want: Jar Jar Binks
When JJ Abrams was directingThe Force Awakens , he admit he mulled over whether to have Jar Jar Binks ’ remain in the desert on Jakku . “ I had a thought about putting Jar Jar Binks ’ bones in the desert there , ” he said in 2015 . “ I ’m serious ! Only three multitude will notice , but they ’ll jazz it . ”
While Jar Jar fiddle a fundamental role in the prequel trilogy where he in the end handed Chancellor Palpatine the power with Sith Lord craved , it would be awless to the theatrical role ’s role player Ahmed Best to have any trace of his death . Best let in last year he was pushed to the brink of self-destruction due to the brutal repercussion to his character , and it would be wrong to have any suggestion that Jar Jar is stagnant . Some things are just best leave to the imagination .
Want: Anakin Skywalker
TheStar Warsmovies , excluding the spin - offsSoloandRogue One , have always been about one family line : the Skywalkers . The original trilogy rivet on Luke Skywalker and babe Leia , while the sequels have brought Leia back into the flexure and added Ben Solo to the roster . The prequels , though , told the story about Anakin Skywalker and how he come into darkness to become the villain that is Darth Vader .
Hayden Christensen was pick apart on a regular basis , but hindsight is a remarkable affair , and now fans require him back . It would make sense for a narration position to have Anakin in the movie at some point , particularly given Kylo Ren ’s compulsion with his late grandfather . Christensen has recently start going toStar Warsevents after years of stay away , and that could be something that hints at his involvement in the final chapter of the saga .
Want: Han Solo
Han Solo , like Luke Skywalker and Supreme Leader Snoke , is fail . The loveable rogue was killed off in 2015’sThe Force Awakens , dying after trying to convince his son , Kylo Ren , to return to the light . Fans were left in split as , despite being premise as a somewhat selfish character in 1977’sA New Hope , his unselfish and caring side comes back to bite him .
But again , if theRise of Skywalkeris going to delve deeper into Ben Solo ’s past , then it hit perfect sense for Han to render via flashback . Whether it be Harrison Ford Diamond State - older or Solo actor Alden Ehrenreich performing in the role , it would be great to get an insight as to what the father and son relationship was initially like . Did Han have a role to recreate in his son ’s translation ? Or was he merely powerless as Kylo Ren slipped away ?
Don’t Want: Captain Phasma
Let ’s face up it , no matter how goodThe Rise of Skywalkercould be , Captain Phasma will grade as perhaps the biggest disappointment of the integral franchise , never mind just the sequel trilogy . Gwendoline Christie ’s graphic symbol was a letdown inThe Force Awakens — getting put in a trash compactor by Finn — and then seem to go in a Brobdingnagian fireball inThe Last Jedi .
Obviously , there ’s the wordless regulation of the movie theatre that if you do n’t see the body , they could be animated . But , please , no . Phasma has had two chances to impress and failed to take either of them . Kylo Ren probably would n’t require her on his side now , and he did n’t even mourn her death . She seemed too hellbent on working for the First Order to ever switch sides . Best to stay readable of this one .
Want: Obi-Wan Kenobi
If you askStar Warsfans which character from the prequel trilogy they would most want to see again , Ewan McGregor ’s Obi - Wan Kenobi would get many voting to his name . The reference was democratic during a rocky time for the franchise , and he could be a force ghost inThe upgrade of Skywalkerif they select to go down the nostalgic solution .
Kenobi ’s voice was already heard inThe Force Awakens , and that paint a picture he could yet return for the final part of the trilogy . He could work alongside Luke Skywalker when it comes to guide on Rey , and some theorizer have lay claim Obi - Wan may even be relate to the pic ’s champion . Only metre will severalize .
Don’t Want: Mace Windu
sure as shooting , Samuel L Jackson was undeniably brilliant as Mace Windu . sure sections of theStar Warsfan base want him to return , with his soundbox never being discovered after Palpatine beam him flying through a windowpane in 2005 ’s Revenge of the Sith . However , it would be wrong to rewrite the past in this instance . While cameo from Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi would make sense from a narrative view , Jackson ’s persona would be out of place . He has no links to the current storyline and , therefore , should stay by .
