“By the end of the trilogy, Luke would have rebuilt much of the Jedi, and we would have the renewal of the New Republic, with Leia, Senator Organa, becoming the Supreme Chancellor in charge of everything. Maul eventually becomes the godfather of crime in the universe because, as the Empire falls, he takes over.”Īdditionally, Luke Skywalker would attempt to rebuild the Jedi Order from scratch, while the real focus of the trilogy would be on Leia Organa: So these were the two main villains of the trilogy.
