9 Things I Want To See in Star Wars Episode IX

We are almost a year and a half away from the final chapter of the sequel trilogy in the Star Wars saga, as Episode IX is described as the last chapter in the Skywalker saga.
While that doesn't mean this will be the last time we see Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron, it means that it bring to a close the story arc of three generations of the Skywalker ranging from patriarch Anakin, who would go on to become Darth Vader, only to be redeemed by his son Luke after years on the dark side, which was followed by Luke's nephew, Ben, turning to the dark side and becoming Kylo Ren.
Anyway, December 20, 2019 can't came soon enough for many Star Wars fans, though they are many who claim they are going to sit the next movie out after the unevenness that was  The Last Jedi,  here are nine suggestions I have for director J.J. Abrams and the rest of the makers to include in Episode IX.
9. Give Rose Something To Do

The character of Rose Tico, played by Kelly Marie Tran, was one of the many problems with The Last Jedi, not because she was an Asian woman, but because she was inconsequential to the plot of the movie until the very end when she saved Finn from certain death in the Battle of Scarif.
Hopefully, Rose will be given an important role in the Resistance's fight against the First Order to give her character something to do rather than just tag along with Finn in a storyline that had no impact.
8. How Does Maz Kanata Know So Much?

Rey's awakening with the Force occurred at the bar owned by Maz Kanata when she came across the lightsaber originally owned by Anakin and Luke Skywalker.
Maz described herself as "no Jedi, but I know the Force" in The Force Awakens, but unfortunately her character was reduced to a cameo in The Last Jedi where she gave information that ended sending Finn and Rose on a wild goose chase.
My hope for Episode IX is that we get to explore Maz's background and how she came into contact with Luke's original lightsaber and if she can mentor Rey in some way now that Luke is part of the Force.
7. A Double-Edged Lightsaber For Rey

With Anakin and Luke's old light saber being destroyed in The Last Jedi, its time for Rey to build herself a new lightsaber, just like Luke did Return of the Jedi.
Rey used a quarterstaff in The Force Awakens and carried with her in The Last Jedi, which gives me and many other Star Wars fans the idea that Rey should have a double-edged lightsaber like the one Darth Maul had in The Phantom Menace.
6. All the droids together in one scene

The sequel trilogy is seen by some as the passing of the torch from the characters of the original trilogy to the new generation and nothing better exemplifies that the droid BB-8 being a major plot point in The Force Awakens and having the most screen time of any of the droids in The Last Jedi.
But I would like to see BB-8 together with C-3P0 and R2-D2 in one sequence in Episode IX because I would think if BB-8 and R2 got together, they would could some form of mischief that would provide a scene of comic relief in the film as Threepio tries his best to get handle on the two droids.
5. Finn and Poe become leaders of the Resistance

By the end of The Last Jedi, Finn risked his life to try and stop the cannon from destroying the Resistance(only to be saved by Rose)while Poe told the remaining members of the Resistance that they would be "the spark that will light the fire that will burn the First Order down".
My hopes for Poe and Finn is not to get together romantically(as some Star Wars fans want)but become true leaders of the Resistance much in the way Luke and Han did in the original trilogy.
That would help complete their character transformations from the beginning of the new trilogy from stormtrooper questioning his purpose(Finn) and reckless X-wing pilot(Poe).
4. Lando Piloting The Millennimum Falcon

Old school Star Wars fans got their wish when it was announced that Billy Dee Williams would be returning to play Lando Calrissian in Episode IX.

Assuming Lando has returned to help the Resistance, I think it is fitting that he pilot the Millennium Falcon in the movie's climatic battle like he did in Return of the Jedi.

Plus, it would bring the Falcon and Lando's story arc full circle as the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs returns to its original owner.

3. The Knights of Ren

In the vision that she had in The Force Awakens, Rey saw Kylo Ren with a bunch of other lads dressed in costumes know as the Knights of Ren, followers of the Dark Side led by Kylo.
An opportunity to know about these mysterious Knights was missed in The Last Jedi, but maybe we'll get to find if they are the students that followed Ben Solo after Luke tried to kill them and if they have come to power now that Snoke, Kylo Ren's mentor, is dead(at least we think he's dead).
2. Ghost Han Solo

Mark Hamill is confirmed to be in Episode IX as we believe he will show up in the form of a Force Ghost since he told Kylo Ren "See you around, kid" before he became one with the Force at the end of The Last Jedi.
But wouldn't it be cool to see Han Solo show up as a ghost or a figment of Kylo's imagination in Episode IX?
Ford is not supposed to appear in Episode IX as he was killed at the hands of his son in The Force Awakens, but he could show up in a surprise cameo to perhaps haunt his son as maybe Ben becomes conflicted between the dark and light sides as he is set to be the last Skywalker.
1. The Ultimate Lightsaber Duel Between Rey and Kylo Ren

Rey and Kylo Ren have clearly being set up as the primary protagonist and antagonist of this sequel trilogy, so the hope I have for Episode IX is these two engage in the greatest lightsaber duel in the history of the Star Wars franchise.
Their lightsaber duel in Episode VII was very brief but one of the best moments of the film and the two taking down Snoke's guards in Episode VIII was the best moment of that film.
With Rey having gained more experience in using a lightsaber, she should fight Kylo in a lightsaber duel that puts all the lightsaber duels in the previous Star Wars to shame.
Plus, if she has a double-edged lightsaber to go against Kylo's cross-bladed lightsaber, who knows what could happened.

Well, those are the things I hope happens in Star Wars: Episode IX, let me know what you think and if you have any thing you want to see in the final movie of the Skywalker saga.
