6. Easy On The Lightsabers
More lightsabers does not equal more awesome. Yes, lightsabers are totally rad. But they're rad because they're rare. In the original trilogy, out of an entire galaxy, only three guys had them. At it's very core, Star Wars is a hero's journey with a classical construct, and the lightsaber was the magical object that the old wizard gives to the young hero to help him along his journey to finish his quest. In the prequels, it was like an an episode of Oprah. Reach under your seat! You get a lightsaber! You get a lightsaber! You get a DOUBLE lightsaber, Mr. Maul! Everyone gets a lightsaber! Yes, the prequels were about the Jedi, and Jedi have lightsabers. But from a storytelling perspective, when everyone has one, they aren't special. When it comes to lightsabers, less is more.
