Speaking of big weapons,

I hope EP9 shows that the FO has a new objective.. not to wipe people out, but to convince or force people to join their cause. Maybe bases stationed on planets in most systems to spread propaganda and convert people into sympathizers or followers/soldiers of the FO. Maybe Kylo's plan is to dominate entire planets and spread influence.

This would make for some nice character growth from where we see him in TFA/TLJ, where he wants to just destroy any and everything that stands in the way. He will have learned from Snoke (manipulating people into getting what you want) but also abandoned the idea of superweapons as a means of control. Pick and choose from the lessons he's learned.

Of course, if refused, they can still murder anyone who chooses not to side with them, but I'd like to see more of a focus on control through numbers instead of simple destruction/fear/obliterating entire systems.

Maybe there's some sort of dark side influence that could play into it somehow.. corrupting the minds of people under their control.

Hamill was pissed too when he read through Force Awakens and realized he wasn't in it. He's said that he had hoped that the amazing moment where Rey pulls the lightsaber out of the snow that it was him who pulled it and then saved the day.

Hamill is a great guy, but it's clear he advocates for his own heroism over the larger story.

And that's fine, not everyone has to join especially if they don't have interest. I feel like just to have it for the people that want it is still good though.

You're probably not wrong, but there'll still be some people willing to just chat. Plus Fallen Order comes out later this year.
