3) A Bigger Role For The Supporting Villains
While Kylo Ren and Supreme Leader Snoke will hopefully get plenty of screentime, it would definitely be nice to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi shift the focus to General Hux and Captain Phasma. Learning more about what makes the former tick would no doubt be fascinating, especially as his tense relationship with Ren quickly proved to be one of the most interesting aspects of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There has to be a lot more to that dynamic than meets the eye, and after Hux rescued Ren, we should probably expect even more friction between the two.
Phasma, meanwhile, was promoted like a lead villain but received an unsatisfying amount of screentime in the last movie, so this outing needs to find a way to make up for that. Granted, it’s already been reported that the uniquely clad Stormtrooper will receive a larger portion of the spotlight in the upcoming sequel, so with any luck, we can expect her to have a satisfying story arc as she looks to get some revenge on Finn for the whole trash compactor incident the last time they crossed paths.
