No to mention yet another planet killing weapon or in Skywalker's case, thousands of more planet killing weapons.  How about just a really vicious, statically brilliant enemy, you know, someone like Thrawn.  Or better yet, Timothy Zahn and/or David Filoni write the script.  Both 'get' Star Wars.  Zahn basically saved the entire Star Wars Universe  in 1991 from the abyss.  While there were some questionable books in 20 something years of expanded universe Star Wars novels, the Thrawn Trilogy (1991 - 1993) followed by the and the Hand of Thrawn Duology (1997-1998) should have been kept cannon by  Disney after the buy-out as it provided a great foundation where to build from and some really great characters such as Mara Jade.  Losing her is a mistake that I can't forgive Disney for and a reason I think that she was not brought back in, unlike Thrawn himself, is that Disney was afraid that her character could have overshadowed Rey's character.

While a good story, Dark Empire was too much of a stretch for me, though Tom Veitch's work clearly influenced Rise of Skywalker.
