5) Podracing
It’s been reported that Star Wars: The Last Jedi will take us to some sort of gambling planet, and if that’s the case, this movie needs to touch on one of the best parts of the prequels. Say what you will about The Phantom Menace, but that podrace was extremely cool and should definitely factor into this sort of location. I’m not saying they should be a massive part of the film, but it would be fantastic to see another podrace get at least a few minutes of screentime; even a shot of them taking place somewhere in the background would be a cool little Easter Egg.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is no doubt going to be a busy affair with a lot of ramifications for the franchise, but the chance to touch on a key part of Star Wars history should not be ignored, especially if it delivers a fun and thrilling sequence just like The Phantom Menace did all those years ago. Who knows, we could even see someone like Finn or Poe compete?
