I really wish they had taken one - just one - lore-thing from all of the previous movies and turned it on its head. So that when you rewatch them all (prequels or OT, preferably both), you see something a different way.

They could have done that with Rey's lineage (Kenobi, Skywalker, Palpatine, etc), or with Snoke being someone or something mentioned (even being Darth Plagueis kinda works), or they could've woven in any kind of lore that makes you look at things differently in the other trilogies. Just one thing would've made me happy.

If we had found out Sideous was still whispering into Snoke and Ren's heads from the grave I would've liked it; or if we found out that Darth Vader had many illegitimate children; or that Anakin was just one virgin birth and that Darth Jesús was born around the same time; or that Yoda was secretly trying to end the Jedi order himself for some reason.

These movies are really low on lore and high on melodrama. The lore is what I've always been interested in Star Wars, and really any fantasy series. I think it's what kids like too - so I feel like they've dropped the ball - as that's what got me and everyone I know so into Star Wars in the first place.
