10 Things We Actually Wanted From The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

10. A Properly Utilised Luke Skywalker

It's safe to say that both Harrison Ford and the late Carrie Fisher's Star Wars comebacks as Han Solo and Leia Organa, respectively, were generally handled rather well in the end, with the former helping guide the likes of Rey and Finn before being dramatically cut down by his son, and the latter acting as the fearless leader of the Resistance with a twinkle in her eye.

On the back of barely even being present throughout Episode VII, though, most were left a little underwhelmed by how Mark Hamill's one-time main hero of the series was fumbled across the trilogy.

Having Luke return as a Jedi Master broken by the fateful part he's played in shaping this present-day galaxy was definitely a compelling choice, it must be said. But the call to have Luke then proceed to suddenly shift to being the sort of composed and wholesome Skywalker many fans had been expecting heading into the trilogy during his Force Spirit appearance in Rise, felt painfully forced and inconsistent with what came before it.

Folks were gleefully awaiting the sight of Hamill back in his Jedi robes as much as they were the visuals of Han holding his blaster and Leia slapping arrogant space cowboys. Yet, Skywalker's rather rushed and muddled Sequels arc, one that only saw him act as a real major player in one Episode, felt like a huge waste of such a legendary character.
