From my point of view, Yuuzhan Vongs should be Main Villain on EP.9.

It would have been more original but that book series is kind of bleak compared to what Star Wars usually is so I'm not sure if they could be the villian without the sequel trilogy going through drastic changes that some would call "jarring".
It would be better for them to have their own trilogy.

We don't need to replace one villain that came out of nowhere with an entire villain species out of nowhere, it's worse than Sheev, at least people know who Sheev is.
Nah. Mess as Ep. 9 was, the audience understands Palpatine immediately. Introducing a force like the Yuuzhan Vong at the last second makes them meaningless.
Luuke Skywalker will be the villain.

Luuke Skywalker
The clone that Joruus C'baoth created to test me with was the fulfillment of my vision in the cave on Dagobah. The reality was no less horrifying than the illusion. Imagine looking at your reflection in the mirror and seeing only…an enemy.Luke Skywalker, in his personal datapad journal Luuke...

I mean, if they had that planned from the start of filming first movie...along with, yunno, an entire outline of the beginning, middle, and end without simply aping most of the broad strokes of the Original Trilogy, I'm pretty sure that the Vongs, or Palpatine, or fucking Lando Calrissian could have turned out to be better villains in much better movies.
I think a more powerful enemy that required the rebels and empire to team up against was the logical place for the story to go, if you're trying to raise the stakes.
It didn't necessarily have to be the Yuuzhan Vong though.

Mark Hamil does such great villains that this might have worked somehow
For those that grew up with the originals sure, but I wonder how many kids growing up with the new movies were confused. That's another point against episode 9.
I mean might as well argue against every other callback in these movies, like why Kylo Ren is talking to a helmet.
why, Marvel takes crap like Civil War and turns them into successes, SWs can do it.
And they already are digging through the old EU, haven't you heard Thrawn is back and Revan is canon again.
Ya'll can keep the BDSM space elf tree hugging predator looking motherfuckers who's ability to emo existence makes them somehow immune to the force.
Even when their hat is "being one with life". Like you know...the force.
There's a reason they call the old EU as 'legends'. It's so they can mine it for characters and ideas, while saying their representations in the old canon were just exaggerations or misunderstandings. It's how they justify bringing back Thrawn etc. or even bringing Palpatine back with cloning and spirit transfer shit. This is all old material. Hell, Han and Leia's son went evil in the old canon as well.
Jedi Ewok
Three Eyed Palpy Son
Lightsaber everywhere man.
Take your pick. There's a thousand of them.
Should have had Luke and Mara. Their kid and the Solo Twins. And then have the actual Sith show up. Jacen Solo goes dark side maybe.
not an exact adaptation of the books but something close.
to fucking late now

The key word I used was trashpile. I know full well they've been bringing back old EU ideas, but some of them were meant to be left behind.
Thawn - good!
Clone Emperor and the superweapon bonanza - eehhhh...
Vong - NO.
that wasn't you know...the point. The prior sentence you ignored, Marvel taking crap and making it successful was....the point.
Are Jaxxon, Tag and Bink good or bad?
