5. Leia's Role

Unfortunately, this one can't can't really be helped since Carrie Fisher passed away, but it's sad that we won't get to see Leia that much in the film.

If The Force Awakens was Han's movie, and The Last Jedi was Luke's, then The Rise of Skywalker was going to be Leia's.

Obviously, those plans had to change, and while it might not necessarily be detrimental to the film, it's sad that Leia can't really be involved this time around.

Thankfully, she's still included via unused footage from The Force Awakens, so hopefully her limited scenes are integral to the film, even though they were filmed under a different context.

It's still a little worrying how Leia's absence will impact the story, since she was going to have a much bigger role.

Let's just hope they don't kill her off-screen.
