Well, I think it's an interesting idea but the roles would be tricky to work out. Like, do we now have a light side-ruled First Order trying to chase down this one Sith? Or does Rey somehow become in charge of the First Order? Lol.

I think you'd have to have Ben truly regret killing Han and have to work with the resistance to stop the monster that he helped to put in power with the First Order, which would also allow for some meaningful interactions with Leia as well as giving Luke something to do despite being one of the most powerful people in the universe at this point in time. He clearly had a lot of trauma over what happened at his temple, but he'd have to face that as well as somehow mend his relationship with Ben.

For Rey, I think she would have to be more torn up about her parents and being dumped on Jakku. As is, she's honestly just too good and pure to be corrupted, but she clearly puts a lot of value on family and belonging. I'd actually keep most of her interactions with Ben as they at least have a dynamic already, but I'd also keep her parents being nobodies. You'd have Ben and eventually Snoke slowly chipping away at her over the movie with the reveal that her parents were nobodies who never came back for her being the final nail. She wouldn't be setting out to be evil or gain power, but she'd be an absolute mess at this point which would leave room for her to actually fall to the dark side. Weirdly I think it would be best if Snoke survived episode 8 because I don't think there's enough time to set up someone else to corrupt her, nor do I think she'd actually be a danger in need of combatting without being poked.

There's nothing conceptually wrong with most of the characters, they're just wasted. Luke and Leia have barely anything to do, but you have force sensitive twins, one of which is the actual last Jedi while the other is an influential leader. Finn got done so fucking dirty, but you could do a trilogy about him alone because an ex Stormtrooper is a great concept. Poe is "just" a resistance fighter, but we haven't had someone who was an existing resistance member yet and he bounces off Finn great.
