Quill and Hammer: Reforging Fiction

Fixing The Force Awakens: What the Sequel Trilogy Could’ve Done Better

In this episode of Quill and Hammer: Reforging Fiction, we take aim at Star Wars: The Force Awakens—the sequel trilogy kickoff that brought excitement… but left a lot of missed opportunities behind.
We talk about how the film rushed key moments, glossed over galactic stakes, and failed to fully showcase Poe Dameron’s legendary pilot skills. What if Mace Windu’s distrust of Anakin had been mirrored in Luke’s approach to training Jedi? What if we’d seen the political fallout instead of just being told about it?
We reimagine the story with more character-driven tension, weightier consequences, and clearer emotional payoff—because The Force Awakens had the bones of something amazing. It just needed a bit more forging.
