Star Wars Fans Try To Fix The Sequels Trilogy, And They Are Brilliant
Since you’re a die-hard Star Wars enthusiast, a three-hour film with massive spacecraft and awesome lightsabers should be more than plenty to keep you entertained. Despite having excellent visuals, a large cast, and a large studio expense, The Rise of Skywalker came up short of practically everyone’s expectations.
Viewers are posting their unique headcanons for Episode 9 and the next Star Wars saga as a way to survive. Thankfully, series like The Mandalorian and The Clone Wars are delivering the Star Wars stories that audiences have been waiting for. We’ll just sit around, pondering the heinous Jedi lures on Finn. Consider taking a look at the list below to see which headcanons from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker you like.
#1 A Scene Where Kylo Ren And His Knights Fought Together

“There should have been a scene of Kylo Ren and his knights fighting together.”
#2 Ben Should’ve Lived

“Ben should have lived.
I’m coming at this from the standpoint of meaning. Palpatine is defeated, and Rey takes the lightsabers to Tatooine (where she’s never been) to the Lars Homestead (which she has no connection to) and takes the Skywalker name (….why?). Instead of Rey, have Ben do it. Rey dies in his arms, the only one who has ever cared for him. Palpatine and his lineage is dead, the Sith story is complete. Ben now has to live with the horrible things he has done and the fact that nobody who loved him — either as family or unconditionally — is still alive. Chewie, I guess. But that’s his atonement for what he’s done.
So what does he do? He takes his family’s lightsabers and goes back to Tatooine, where the Saga began, and lives out his days as a hermit at the Lars homestead staring at the twin suns like his uncle and grandfather before him. In a sense, the wayward Skywalker is home, their Saga is complete (but you can pull cameos from Adam Driver long into the future if needed), and the story has ended on a tragic but meaningful note.
On top of this, she can call herself whatever she wants, but Rey is still a Palpatine. She didn’t really make any firm choices like Luke did when he threw down his lightsaber and/or learn to control her dark impulses (or emotions in general). So by definition the Palpatine Saga — which was ripped apart — isn’t over. With Rey alive the story hasn’t ended.”
#3 A Confrontation Between Kylo And Anakin

“It would have been amazing to see Anakin speak to his grandson when he brings Rey back.”
#4 Rey Should’ve Been The Spunky Thief/Mechanic
Source: u/ScionN7
“Rey would’ve been a more fun and endearing character as the spunky scavenger who can tinker, repair, hack, and infiltrate. She should’ve been the Thief of the party. I found her to be the most likeable during the first half of The Force Awakens.”
#5 Finn Served No More Purpose After ‘The Last Jedi’
Source: u/Ford117
“This may be an unpopular opinion but while I seriously love the character of Finn, he should have died in The Last Jedi. This is the moment his arc ended. He had defeated Chrome Dome and after years of questioning his loyalty, he found a cause he would die to help.
Finn is one of my favorite parts of the ST, and when he was about to die I was in the theater like “Wow, they actually had the guts to do this.” It was emotional, and it would have been a satisfying conclusion. In VII he learns to care about someone (Rey) and then VIII he learns to care about a cause worth dying for.
And then… Rose saves him (somehow) and then delivers some corny line about saving what we love. I say this as a The Last Jedi defender but man that was so, so unsatisfying.”
#6 The Old Lady On Tatooine At The End Of ‘TROS’ Knew Luke
Source: @Ganon136
“In my headcanon, I kind of wonder if the old lady at the end of The Rise of Skywalker is actually one of Luke’s old friends from Tosche Station, Camie Marstrap, many years later. Most people don’t know her because she was only in a deleted scene from A New Hope, but her character is canon.
It would be a wonderful nod to some original trilogy goodness that Lucas ended up cutting, but a deep cut enough for fans to know she ties back to that original Luke storyline from ‘77.
Clearly Tatooine’s climate—dry, twin-sunned, and with coarse, rough sand which gets everywhere—ages you prematurely. Obi-Wan aged 32 years in 19 on Tatooine. Uncle Owen aged 30 and Aunt Beru aged 35 (these are all going by actors’ ages).”
#7 Finn Should’ve Been Utilized More
Source: @dpatelridley
“Rey was supposed to be a Jedi related to Skywalker or Kenobi legacy while Finn was the perfect “nobody from nowhere” that becomes a Jedi. I said what I said.”
#8 Rey Should’ve Been An Antagonist
Source: u/Jakkubus
“Rey behaves fits more like a Sith than actual Jedi. She has serious anger issues second only to Kylo Ren’s infantile tantrums and over the course of The Last Jedi she lashes out at both Luke and Snoke. That unbrindled passion along with her desire to belong should make her an easy target for Dark Side’s corrupting influence and yet almost everyone seems to acknowledge her as a paragon of the Light Side and an exemplary Jedi.
Moreover if she was an apprentice of Snoke, her lack of own agency as well as her yearning for parental figure would have worked much better and actually have an impact on the narrative instead of being an irrelevant traits. It would also leave some place for character development, which in TFA and TLJ is pretty lacking. Instead of being a static stock character already complete from the start, she could gradually learn how to be independent and actually earn her strength.
Rey’s foil, Kylo Ren, also would’ve be better if he was on the other side. A young but arrogant Jedi ostracized due to his connection to Darth Vader that tries his best to overcome his anger would be much more interesting than a pampered pseudo-Sith.”
#9 The Title Should’ve Been ‘The Last Hope’
Source: u/Zcorruption
“In The Last Jedi, Rey stands over Luke and says Kylo Ren still has good in him, and if he could be turned it would sway the tide in the other direction. Her final line to Luke before leaving is, “he’s our last hope.” I feel considering the whole 9 film saga and the fact Luke was the new hope it would have been fitting to call episode 9 the last hope as most of the movie was about Ben until the end.”
#10 The Villain Should Not Have Been A Skywalker
Source: u/kaliedel
“I keep going back to the creative decision (whoever made it) to have the villain be a Skywalker and the hero a no-name. That choice really hampered the protagonist, because the Skywalker name and history brings with it a whole lot of interesting implications, and automatically gives Kylo a bunch of moral questions he has to grapple with. Our hero (Rey) should’ve been the Skywalker (or a Skywalker in addition to the villain), because unless something more intriguing was invented for her, the Skywalker factor is too significant to be matched. It’s a name, legacy, and story that is practically cemented in pop culture. How can Rey compete with that, when it’s assigned all to the villain?”
#11 How Rey’s New Lightsaber Was Forged
Source: supremeprince-bensolo
“She made the lightsaber hilt out of her staff to honour her past as a scavenger and the item that helped her survive all those years she was on her own.
She retrieved Kylo’s lightsaber and healed the cracked kyber crystal. She used that to power her new lightsaber. The blade is yellow because red (it was formerly on the dark side) + green (it was healed and is now on the light side) light combined makes yellow.
The healed crystal symbolises the way in which Rey symbolically killed Kylo Ren and then healed him. He was reborn as Ben Solo just as this crystal has now been reborn as something new.
The lightsaber honours their history and the ability to heal and move on from the past. It is the embodiment of who they are and what together they represent.
Balance.”
#12 Finn And Leia Helped Each Other
Source: @TheFirstOkiro:
“Finn and Leia’s bond was so underrated. According to The Rise Of Skywalker visual guide, Leia saw great potential in Finn and he would go to her to try and learn more about the force because he knew it meant so much to Rey. She lost a son, he lost a family. I bet they helped each other a lot.”
#13 Palpatine’s Grand Plan Wasn’t Complete
Source: u/b_khan0131
“That Palpatine’s “Grand Plan” wasn’t complete in ROTS. His “real” grand plan was the Sith Fleet. I like to believe that, as soon as the Empire was formed, Palpatine began work on the Sith Fleet (which explains why they’re the exact same model as the ISD but bigger). When Palpatine “died” (which was NOT part of his plan) he was able to save himself and continued work on the Final Order, which he had planned from before Episode I.”
#14 Kylo Had The Right Idea, But His Execution Was Off
Source: u/clashquestions
“Rey should have said yes. Obviously this can’t happen because it’s a Star Wars movie, but the only logical course of action for Rey is to join Kylo when he asks in the throne room. That is, if she cares about the lives of those in the rebellion and the galaxy as a whole.
I was honestly convinced this was going to happen until he said rule the galaxy together. She is not into that, but at the moment I think she was a bit disillusioned with her side and a little intrigued by the Dark Side. Or, Rey had an opportunity to make real changes in the galaxy. She can influence the path the First Order takes now, regardless of the terrible deeds they’ve committed. Kylo is not predisposed to commit mass genocide and horrible atrocities. His terrible actions have all been in an attempt to find his place and please his master, to become the next Darth Vader. He no longer cares about any of that. He has killed the past.”
#15 Ben Solo Is Not Dead
Source: u/ChrisX26
“Ben Solo is not necessarily dead. He is trapped in the World Between Worlds. Someday his soul mate and Force Dyad mate, Rey will find him.”

10 Famous People Who Choose to Live Quiet and Humble Lives When They Leave the Spotlights
When people achieve a certain degree of success, you almost expect them to change. With so much money and attention, it’s easy to fall into the pitfalls of arrogance and obnoxiousness. However, while there are lots of stuck-up celebs, there are also those who haven’t let fame go to their heads.
“Wealth and success don’t make you happy,” Leonardo DiCaprio once said. Perhaps as a result of this way of thinking, many people who work in the entertainment industry maintain a low-key lifestyle after their workday is done.
These people have succeeded in remaining grounded in an industry that tries to force them otherwise. They really understand what is truly important in life, whether it be giving money to charity, spending time with fans, or just being a good person. Millions of people from all over the world now love and appreciate them as a result. Here are 10 famous people who, when not in the spotlight, choose to lead quiet, modest lives.
#1 Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is a famous actress, yet she understands the importance of being modest. Her daughters are supposed to be careful with money and to wear her gowns on the red carpet. You can see her doing normal things like grocery shopping with her kids occasionally.
#2 Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz is an excellent example of a celebrity who is also a normal citizen. Her Instagram feed is filled with daily activities that we all do – cooking, socializing, and shopping. Nothing extravagant, just normal happy life.
#3 Halle Berry

Halle Berry is another celebrity who loves to live a simple life. She’s occasionally seen doing grocery shopping sans makeup and looking like an ordinary person.
Halle practices self-care and fitness to live a healthy lifestyle and inspire other women to do the same: “I got diagnosed with diabetes and I quickly learned that I could control my diabetes and live a longer, healthier life if I exercised regularly, changed my diet, and did some things in my life that are called de-stressors.”
#4 Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber chose to prioritize his family life over his career. “I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep-rooted issues that I have as most of us have so that I don’t fall apart so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be,” he wrote in an Instagram post. He tries to keep his promise and spends a lot of time with Hailey.
#5 Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton can fit as a royal role model for many young girls. Despite her high status, she lives a normal life. Kate will even buy a dress from Zara and wear it several times. She was also found flying in economy class. For example, she and her children were seen coming off a £73 economy flight to Scotland.
#6 Leonardo DiCaprio

From 2010 to 2016, Leonardo DiCaprio was on Forbes’ annual list of highest-paid actors. He seems to be able to buy gold toilets and a new mansion every month. Instead, he opts for a normal life. For example, he was seen giving instructions to a lost tourist on a rainy day in Manhattan.
Furthermore, DiCaprio understands the needs of the poor and gives his money to the world. His foundation will donate $3 million to Australia’s bushfire recovery efforts in 2020.
#7 Mariah Carey

Commuting by subway is something that all of us who have to go to work or school do daily. But singer Mariah Carey thought there was no reason for her not to participate as well. She also took the subway since she wanted to be a part of this experience. But, of course, she did it her way, always looking dazzling and dressed as if she were preparing to perform. Yes, she took the subway in a gala gown in New York City, and she even captured the moment with a humorous story that she then posted on Instagram.
#8 Reese Witherspoon

Despite her amazingly successful career, the lead actress of Legally Blonde (2001) may easily demonstrate that she is a normal caring mother. She used to take her children, Ava and Deacon, to the park and babysit them while they played on the playground, just like any other non-celebrity mom. They’d then have a picnic and a couple of delicious slices of pizza.
#9 Shailene Woodley

Shailene Woodley is a famous actress, environmentalist, and climate advocate. Her mother and she co-founded a non-profit organization that teaches young people empathy, compassion, and responsibility.
Woodley stays grounded and unspoiled. “I go outside whether I’m in the city or backwoods of any state. I connect with the ground, the trees, just breathing fresh air while I go for a walk and I find myself living in my heart instead of in my mind,” she says. Woodley prefers natural products and makeup and tries to live a natural life.
#10 Tobey Maguire

Tobey’s only acting role since 2014 was in 2017’s Boss Baby. He gave up his celebrity to pursue a career as a producer. He simply disappeared from Hollywood after Spider-Man. He prefers a quiet life with friends while raising his two children.
Dumb characters never fail to tickle our ribs. From their words to their body gestures, the silliness comes and makes everybody laugh till they drop on the floor. Something about idiots is unexplainably charming. Even their breaths only can be super funny. Who will say no to a comedy about stupidity for laughter?
There are plenty of features in this genre. Even though viewers can be tickled easily by acting dumb and ridiculous punch lines, only those written and produced excellently can last and become cult classics. Their characters might look bold and brainless on the screen, but everything else about them is amazing.
Those are comedies about foolishness from clever moviemakers that will definitely entertain you to your heart’s content. Here they are.

We all are familiar with the live-action adaptation or CGI remakes of many Disney cartoons. Some notable names are Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, and the list goes on. Many animated films have regained the heat after the live-action or CGI versions hit theaters. Some mediocre cartoons even have a chance to reach the top rank if the remakes are successful. Of course, besides Disney productions, cartoons from other studios are also considered to be put on the big screen, and here are 8 of them.
Scroll down to see if your favorite one has its name on the list!
#1 The Last Unicorn (1982)
Source: Amazon Prime Video
Topcraft’s animation is the journey of the last eternal unicorn to find other members of her kind. The team of the unicorn, a bumbling magician, and a bandit’s wife sets off on a fascinating adventure and faces many dangers. On the way, the legendary creature learns many precious lessons about love and regret.
A weak point in the original version is the stiff and awkward character designs. However, it lays a strong foundation for a CGI mixed live-action remake.
#2 The Adventures of Mark Twain (1985)
Source: Peacock
Will Vinton introduced the enthralling works of the father of American literature to children through this stop-motion animation. The audience would follow Tom Sawyer and his friend to discover Mark Twain’s airship. They explored the place while watching and listening to Twain’s stories before they realized the ship was heading into Halley’s Comet.
As stop-motion has many limits, the film’s CGI remake seems to promise a much better version. The lively animation associated with the famous writer’s absorbing stories will make it a top-notch movie.
#3 Perfect Blue (1997)
Source: AMC+
Perfect Blue revolved around Mima Kirigoe, a J-pop idol-turned-actor. Mima intends to stick to her acting career, but a menace of a mysterious stalker and a series of peculiar murders around her mess up her plan.
This adult animated film could become a fascinating psychological thriller with an ideal cast as Mima and the right level of visual effects.
#4 We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story (1993)
Source: Apple TV
With the time machine, a scientist decides to gift the children of the 20th century in New York City with sentimental dinosaurs brought from their natural habitats.
We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story could be turned into a lovely live-action CGI hybrid film. Cinematic dinosaurs can’t be more real, and this lighthearted script will make dinosaurs’ images much better, at least compared to Jurassic Park. After all, people should be reminded that dinosaurs are more than monsters.
#5 Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1989)
Source: Amazon Prime Video
Little Nemo is upset since his parents are too busy to take him to the circus. That night, he meets members of the circus in his dream, and they introduce him to King Morpheus, ruler of Slumberland. When Nemo sees the king, he was offered an opportunity to rule the kingdom and protect it from the Nightmare King.
A dreamland like Slumberland is a perfect place for creativity, and innovative animators know how to make the best use of it. Looking at similar movies like Inside Out and Soul will make you certain about the success of this film’s CGI remake.
#6 Animal Farm (1954)
Source: imdb.com
The animated movie Animal Farm was adapted from George Orwell’s famous novel of the same name. The story is about an animal farm that represents the rise of the Soviet Union. Under the Old Major the boar’s leadership, the animals of Manor Farm chase away the farmer to gain independence. However, the utopia turns out a nightmare for the animals under the dominance of Major’s successors.
Andy Serkis is the director of the latest animated adaptation of the story. His talent combined with the assistance of CGI technology will likely guarantee a first-rate adaptation movie.
#7 Wizards (1977)
Source: Apple TV
Written by Ralph Bakshi, the movie feature the fight between two wizard brothers over the governance of a post-apocalyptic Earth. The malicious brother, Blackwolf, uses a projector with Nazi propaganda to provoke his troop. To stop his evil plan, Avatar, his brother, with some weird companions decide to confront him.
The action flick doesn’t leave much impression on the viewers due to its old-fashioned and cheap-looking animation. The battle could be more exciting and absorbing with more detailed character designs in the CGI remake.
#8 Cats Don’t Dance (1997)
Source: Apple TV
The young cat Danny is ambitious about becoming a renowned Hollywood actor. However, he gradually realized that animal actors only play cameo roles while humans take charge of all the main parts. Instead of giving up, he and his fellow actors are determined to prove their capability and get what they deserve.
Though the animation Cats Don’t Dance failed hard, the meaningful premise should be brought back to the screen. Having been successful with Space Jam: A New Legacy, Warner Brothers can definitely handle a new version with CGI models of Cats Don’t Dance.

There’s no denying that movies are more costly than ever. It’s not rare for a production company to invest hundreds of millions ( even billions) in filmmaking. As long as you have the right actor, director, or intellectual property, you may be able to recoup your huge investment. But what about ambitious directors who can’t afford to make a film about your favorite superhero or cast any big-name actors? The independent market is for directors with a limited budget. Low investment, low return.
However, there are certain exceptions: when a low-budget film outperforms expectations. This unusual event can launch unknown actors to stardom and first-time directors to legends. You may be familiar with some breakout independent films, but you’d be shocked how many of your favorite films had a far lower budget than you expected.
To clarify, this list isn’t rated only by the lowest budget, but rather by how successful the films were given the budget they had to deal with. So, without further ado, here are 12 low-budget films that went on to become box office hits.
#1 A Nightmare on Elm Street
Source: © A Nightmare on Elm Street / New Line Cinema
- Budget: $1,800,000
- Box Office: $57,000,000
Before New Line Cinema agreed to produce the story of Freddy Krueger, which was rejected by many businesses. However, the studio had financial difficulties throughout filming. The cast and crew worked for two weeks without pay. The company was successful in attracting investors and achieving its first commercial success.
#2 Blue Valentine

- Budget: $1,000,000
- Box Office: $16,600,000
Many years passed between the time the script was written and the film’s release. The director wanted to shoot the characters at different ages, but due to financial limitations, this was not possible. He also waived his fees to help finance the film. But it all paid off when the film became a smashing blockbuster.
#3 Boyhood

- Budget: $4,000,000
- Box Office: $57,300,000
It took 12 years to complete this film. The director updated the script every year, and the actors based their characters on real-life examples. The crew met 1-2 times every year for 3-4 days of filming. Despite the risks, the producers supported the extended production, which resulted in some extremely cool effects.
#4 Dirty Dancing
Source: © Dirty Dancing / Vestron Pictures
- Budget: $5,000,000
- Box Office: $214,600,000
It took a lot of effort to make this film. Companies turned down the script one by one, the budget was twice as low as average, and the film’s main actors all had conflicts. Even after the film was completed, no one liked it. Despite this, it became a film classic, grossing more than $200 million.
#5 Insidious

- Budget: $1,500,000
- Box Office: $99,500,000
The creators of the Saw film franchise made this film. Again, a minimal budget did not prevent the crew from making a picture in three weeks and recouping expenses up to 66 times over, since the film grossed almost $100 million.
#6 Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

- Budget: $1,500,000
- Box Office: $65,300,000

- Budget: $4,400,000
- Box Office: $163,250,000

#9 Pulp Fiction

- Budget: $8,000,000
- Box Office: $213,900,000
At first, the film’s budget was significantly smaller. However, the participation of Bruce Willis in the cast helped drive the budget to $8 million. However, $5 million went to actor fees, leaving only $3 million for filming.
#10 Rocky

- Budget: $960,000
- Box Office: $225,000,000
Sylvester Stallone wrote the screenplay for the film in only 3.5 days. Due to a lack of funds for filming, the actor’s family members played minor roles. His sibling sang while his father rang the bell in the ring.
#11 Saw
Source: © Saw / Lions Gate Films
- Budget: $1,200,000
- Box Office: $103,096,345
Nobody could predict the amazing Saw franchise to be so successful. The majority of the actors were unknown, and the film was classified as independent. The bathroom was the only set built for the film, which was shot in only 18 days.
#12 The Terminator

- Budget: $6,400,000
