End the movie with Obi Wan defeating him again but this time it’s less clear who won. Find three Jedi masters for Vader to fight in his prime and the struggles he has with killing some of them |

They've shown him as having mercy, as having doubts and regrets and feeling the "pull to the Light". In the last issue of Vader Comics (#3, I believe), Vader runs into, what appears to be, Padme, who's apparently still alive, long after dying in RotS. We won't know for sure if it's truly Padme, and some have suggested it was one of her "look-a-like" body guards, until the next issue is released. But Anakin/Vader still has feelings for her. But for the most part, it seems like Lucasfilm is veering Vader's story away from being the most evil man in the galaxy to a man that's confused about the choices he'd made, which of course eventually leads him towards redemption. Personally, I'd rather Lucasfilm move their stories 1,000 years into the future rather than trying to "milk" the OT era for everything it's worth. |

Not a direct response to you, but Vader has to be torn and emotional, in my opinion. You can't be fueled by hate and pain if you are an empty shell that feels nothing. So at the very least it has always made sense to me that he hangs on to the past and longs for his love, and when faced with that last existing pieces of Padme he turns on the Emperor. |

And now that they've pretty much retconned Anakin's backstory, the next iteration of Star Wars needs a truly evil antagonist, not a "good" person who's life and loyalties were manipulated, which made this person "become" evil, but a character that's completely evil and with no redeeming qualities. You know, kind of like The Emperor. |

This thread is the first place that I've ever seen it referred to as the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. So, thank you for that guys. Makes perfect sense. We have SW:PT, SW:OT, SW:ST. Or we can refer to the entire nine movie franchise as SW:POS and it fits perfectly.

I bought it, of course, because my kids wanted to see it again.
Truth be told, if it was a stand-alone movie, it would be fantastic. It's action packed, fun, has a few laughs and amazing visuals. The problems begin when it's dropped into a nine-film saga because if you think about the films that came before, along with 130 plus episodes of The Clone Wars and 50+ Rebels (not to mention all of the really great short films on Disney+), it completely falls apart. But if you ignore those, it's a blast, which is what I chose to do last night. |

The problems come because nobody thought this trilogy out from the beginning. It was made up as they went along. And then to expect fans to buy and read all these books to fill in the gaps is downright insane. |

Just read the latest issue of The Rise of Kylo Ren.
It's a far more interesting story than anything in the sequel trilogy. |
