When I hear JJ and Chris say that The Last Jedi forced them into a corner:
Villains:
They didn’t need to bring back Palpatine.
-Dark Rey was right there. Rey turning dark for stabbing Ben would have been brilliant
-Snoke could have come back as Plagueis. What better villain than one you can’t kill?
-Hux leading the First Order against the Resistance

Luke:
They didn’t need to retcon Luke’s character.
-Luke tossing the lightsaber in Ach-To paralleled Luke refusing to fight on Death Star II
-Luke speaking ill of the hubris of the Jedi in TLJ concurs with the Jedi in canon
-Force projection Luke WAS prime Luke

The Jedi Code:
They didn’t need Luke to state that “The weapon of a Jedi deserves better”
-The Jedi weren’t killers, they were peacekeepers
-Ahsoka threw away her sabers after Order 66, as well as Luke himself
-A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense never for attack

Killing Ben:
They didn’t need to kill Ben to redeem him.
-Ventress turned “good” and lived
-Iden turned “good” and lived
-Callus turned “good” and lived
-Finn turned “good” and lived
-Jannah turned “good” and lived
-Cassian was good even though he’d done a lot of bad

The Stormtroopers:
They didn’t need the First Order to use Stormtroopers anymore.
-Finn, Jannah, Rex, Iden, Fives, Heavy, and the Bad Batch all humanized cannon fodder
-Finn’s arc, especially after trying to run away in the Last Jedi needed more heroism
-The Knights of Ren
