It isn’t simply that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker made a series of choices that not everybody loved, it’s that, thanks to a leaked draft of a script, we have another, very different take, on how that story could have gone.
And it would have led to a very different path, although the same ultimate end, for one Star Wars bad guy, Domhnall Gleeson’s General Hux.
Odds are that fans were going to be talking about the final part of the Skywalker Saga for decades regardless of what was actually in it, but the situation we ended up with has left Star Wars fans in a very unique position.
