10 Unused Star Wars Movie Sequel Concepts Which Need To Be Used In Future

Having wielded a staff in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, Rey was set to get a serious upgrade in The Rise of Skywalker with a double-bladed lightsaber. This was another idea presented by Colin Trevorrow for Duel of the Fates, but J.J. Abrams ultimately just gave the hero a repaired version of Luke's blade (not to mention Leia's during that final battle).

That was cool and all, but this would have been even better. Visually, it makes for a fun sight, and it's not something fans are used to seeing heroic Force wielders use in the Star Wars franchise.

In the novelization for The Rise of Skywalker, there were hints that Rey was planning to create a double-bladed lightsaber, but that's not something which actually made it to the big screen, and she instead ends up with a repurposed yellow blade made from the aforementioned staff.

Rey's time has passed with the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga, but it would be amazing to see another future hero - regardless of when their story takes place - wield a weapon like this on the big screen, and to delve into how and why they would create that sort of lightsaber.
