"Will you meet me here tomorrow? I think I can help you."

"With the Force, you mean?"

"Yes. And I think we can do something about your pain," Leia added. "I may also have an idea about where you're from."

"Leia told me she found you in the hangar today," Poe commented as the two of you ate your evening meal together. "Working on a ship?"

Your face burned with shame at the thought of leaving without telling Poe, so you said nothing.

"But..." he cleared his throat, reaching for your hand. "You weren't working on a ship. Were you?" His eyes found yours, questioning and pleading - wondering if you would allow his gaze to linger.

When you averted your eyes, he knew. "You want to leave."

He withdrew his hand and the absence of it sent a hollowing emptiness echoing throughout your entire body.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, he exhaled wearily. "Don't worry, Leia didn't tell me anything. She didn't betray your trust."

Although you would normally be rambling and over-explaining by now, you felt unable to say much of anything. You yearned to explain that Leia wanted to help you, and that she had changed your mind about leaving, at least for now.

"What am I supposed to do if you leave?" He rasped out, voice thickening with emotion. Pushing his tray of food aside, he propped his elbows on the table, folding his hands and letting his head fall to meet them. "I don't want to lose anyone else."

Upsetting Poe was the last thing in the galaxy you wanted. But it was too late now. He turned to you with accusing eyes.

"Are you really leaving?"

"N-no," you stuttered out, wilting under his scrutiny.

The tiniest flicker of hope ignited in his warm brown eyes. "I don't want you to," he confessed in a rush.

"I don't want to," you agreed with him. "I thought I had to."

Dark eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Why? Did someone say something to you? Just tell me who - "

"I was afraid of hurting you. Everyone really," you gestured around you at the other Resistance members dining. "But most of all you."

"You'll hurt me if you leave." Turning to face you, he tucked one leg underneath the other, scooting closer. "Elia, tell me what you're afraid of."

"Of the dark side," you urgently uttered, moisture gathering in your eyes as you fought all your instincts telling you to look away, to run away. "Of the thing that hurt you so much, when they captured you." One tear slipped down your cheek. "Of being just like them. Like the ones who tore inside your mind and made you feel like a traitor. The ones who blew up the Hosnian system."

"Baby, you're nothing like them," Poe reassured you, with conviction. "You're everything they're not."

"How do you know that? You don't know that!" Your wings fluttered then, stretching out behind you briefly in a dramatic flare.

It took Poe's breath away, but drew some unwanted attention.

Screwing your eyes shut, you wished you could disappear, but what you didn't understand was that the stares were awe-filled. You were a force user, like the Jedi girl Rey. Like Leia. And Master Luke.

You were a symbol of hope.

Word had rapidly spread about Poe Dameron's companion, the computer technician who loved to infodump. How she wielded the Force. How she landed a fiery transport with her mind, mid-battle, saving dozens of lives.

How rocks circled her body in a powerful display as her wingspan unfurled.

This girl with messy twin buns and unlaced boots, with her trademark little backpack was a force - a creature of mystery and goodness and power. And one who had the full attention of Commander Dameron and General Organa.

That's why they stared.

Poe knew you didn't understand. Not yet. So he led you out of the cafeteria. He asked you to take a walk with him. He could see you shutting down, but he would not relent. Not this time, not after he almost lost you again.

Finally you were under the stars and able to breathe.

Poe's fingers tangled with yours as his thumb stroked steadily back and forth over your knuckles.

"I don't understand, Poe," you quietly murmured, eyes focused on the darkened waterfall cascading in the distance.

After all this time - after everything - Poe was a dear and true to you as anyone ever had been, or likely ever would be. You adored him so, but still couldn't wrap your mind around what he could ever seen in a creature like you.

"Why do you care so much?"

The question might have jarred the average listener, but Poe knew you, and he understood.

"I don't know," he confessed, hoping you would appreciate his candor. He hoped this darkened, moonlit sanctuary could soothe you enough to really talk. He had things to say.

"You made me laugh the first time we met. You tell me the truth. Most people tell me what I want to hear except under battle conditions. You're sincere."

The tension in your fingers relaxed, only a fraction.

"You're smart. You work well under pressure." He waited for your protest. Instead, he found your eyes, wide with curiosity, blinking at him so sweetly as he recounted your many weeks and months together.

"You saved my life." He gently smiled. "You've saved so many, with the Force. And too many to count on missions. You kept the First Order from enslaving and entire system."

"But...we all did that. I just work on the computers."

Stepping in front of you, he took both your hands in his. "I hate to break it to you, Ells, but you're just like everybody else most of the time. You're right, we all did that, together. But you did more. You’re more. I just want you to see yourself the way I see you."

You'd spent your whole life afraid to feel the Force. Afraid to spread your wings, literally and figuratively. Maybe now you had a chance.

"Breathe, Elia. Just...breathe," Leia soothingly instructed.

You sat amongst forest trees on the temporary Resistance base. Leia had taken time, away from the needs of the floundering Resistance, away from the young Jedi Rey, to help you.

The guilt was crushing, and, incidentally, the first thing Leia asked you about.

"Why are you less deserving of my help than anyone else?"

Your eyes snapped open. "What?"

"That's what you're feeling, isn't it? That there are people more deserving of my time?" Her dark eyebrows arched wryly as she waited for your answer.

"They are more deserving of your time. They aren't dangerous."

"Are you dangerous?" She challenged, folding her arms over her chest. "I'm aware of you healing and saving lives. Not harming people."

"But my species - "

"I think you're wrong about your species," Leia calmly informed you, "but even if you're not, you decide who you are, Elia. No one else."

That caught your attention. "Y-you don't think I'm a demon?"

Leia shook her head, granting you a sympathetic smile. "It doesn't really matter what I think. It only matters who you are inside." Noticing you twist your fingers anxiously, she went on. "But I think you might be a S'kytri from Skye, or descended from one. It would explain your dark wings. You're probably part human too, which would explain why you're not as tall as a S'kytri. They're mostly extinct anyway, thanks to the Empire."

"They do have dark wings, don't they? And...they're not demons. Right?" This could be the best news you ever heard.

"Elia," Leia called you name gently, reaching for your arm and squeezing gently. "It doesn't always matter where you came from. My birth father turned out to be the Emperor's right hand. A terrible force of evil on this galaxy. That doesn't mean I have to be that way. My brother wasn't like him."

Nodding fervently, you breathed out a sigh of relief. "So I'm not connected to the Dark Side. Just the Force. I-is that right?"

"There's always darkness, and light. Balance. We choose light again and again. That determines our path. Now, close your eyes," she directed, releasing your arm.

You complied, following her lead as she directed you to open yourself to the Force. To feel it surrounding and penetrating everything around you, and simply, you. Flowing through your body - your arms and legs and even your wings.

Without you really thinking about it, your wings unfurled behind you, stretching further than before.

Leia explained that she wanted you to meditate like this, morning, midday and night, opening yourself up to the Force, allowing it to flow through you, calming you, centering you, healing you. And she instructed you to spread your wings and strengthen them often.

"It's time to be who you really are, Elia."

As the ragged Resistance slowly began to rebuild itself and recover from the loses at Crait, you continued your training, as did the Jedi Rey.

With each day, your wings healed a little more, and stretched and strengthened. It also helped that Leia and Perrha helped you alter some clothes that would fit your new body correctly.

After that first night together in one room, Poe never bothered to find you other quarters. Each night, you two would find your way back to one another.

You would apologize for what you felt was the bulky awkwardness of your wings and Poe would offer to sleep on the floor. No matter how the night began, however, it would inevitably lead to your body curled against his, with one wing tucked behind you and the other covering both your bodies like a soft blanket.

His droid BB-8 spent about half his time with Rey, so he usually charged up in her quarters.

As you rested against Poe's chest, he gently stroked up and down your arm, listening to your soft breathing as you slept.

He was too wired to sleep tonight, due to a mission first thing in the morning. Your presence normally soothed him, but tonight he just wanted to talk to you - to look into your eyes. Maybe more. He had so much love to give you if only you could want it as much as he wanted to give it to you.

You stirred, shifting against his body as your warm breath tickled his throat. Poe groaned, attempting to keep his wits about him. Sometimes desire got the better of him, so, in an attempt to not overstep your boundaries, he decided it might be time to start prepping for his mission early.

As carefully as he could manage, he untangled your arm from around his torso and eased his way from underneath you, hoping not to wake you. He managed to climb out of bed and get dressed, but you finally stirred just before he walked out the automated door.

Murmuring his name, you pushed yourself up in bed, maneuvering your wings with slightly more ease. Where as previously, you would bump around, hurting and embarrassing yourself, now you could move them more smoothly.

"I'm taking up the whole bed again," You stated, rubbing the sleep from your eyes. "I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay. I couldn't sleep." He smiled at you softly. "Mission prep."

"Already? Feels like we just fell asleep."

"Hey, hey, you go back to sleep," he gently admonished, stepping in front of you to stop you from getting up.

"I was going to help you," you protested, as he took hold of your hands, pushing his fingers through yours.

"Well, I won't say no to that."

Poe left you to get changed, hoping to find some caf at this early hour, even though breakfast wouldn't be ready for a while yet.

The two of you walked hand in hand to the hangar and were delighted to find BB-8 waiting for you there.

"This little guy going with you?" You asked Poe, patting the cute droid.

"Yes he is, hey buddy!" Poe enthusiastically greeted the little guy.

After you helped Poe prep his ship and log everything, he asked to speak with you for a moment. Taking your hand, he led you to the quietest corner he could find in the hangar.

"Listen, I don't know when I'll be back," he told you, gazing into your eyes. "I haven't really been on a solo mission since the one to find the map to Luke Skywalker."

"That one didn't go very well," you bluntly stated.

"Yeah, not really," Poe agreed, pulling your hand to his chest. "I just...that one really changed some things...for me. And um," shifting from one booted foot to another, he licked his lips, "it was the first time you kissed me."

"Right," you nodded, breathlessly, "because, well...you asked if holding hands was all right, because we always hold hands, but then you said you wanted to kiss me, then you asked about a hug, but see, what happened was that I was scared to let you hug me because I had my backpack then and you would have felt my wings, like...squished in there, and I didn't know how to tell you, plus I don't always like to be touched? You know? So, I thought I couldn't hug you so instead I kissed - "

Pressing his lips to yours urgently, Poe silenced your rambling. All the sounds of the hangar faded away as he tasted your lips. Releasing your hands, he reached for your face, cradling you tenderly, breathing you in, giving you the chance to stop if you wanted to.

The heat of his breath as he whispered your name made you melt against him, arms slipping around his neck to tangle in his curls.

He kissed you hard but only for a moment, just enough to almost make your knees give out before he was backing away, steading you by your arms as his forehead touched yours.

"Sorry...sorry," he breathed, but you shook your head and pulled him by his orange flight suit right back to you, sealing your mouth to his.

Waking shadows:

Poe dameron x reader

————————————————————————

Poe Dameron had seen a lot of strange things during his time with the Resistance, but walking through an ancient temple on some forgotten planet, searching for a villain from a bygone era trapped in a dream for 500 years? That was definitely a new one.

The air was thick with dust, the temple walls echoing with an eerie quietness as Poe led the way, blaster at the ready. BB-8 rolled beside him, beeping nervously.

"Relax, buddy," Poe muttered, though he wasn't feeling all that relaxed himself. "Just an old legend. How dangerous can she really be?"

According to the stories, you had been a powerful force user—one who walked the line between light and dark with dangerous precision. In the end, your enemies couldn't defeat you outright, so they trapped you in a never-ending dream. For centuries, you slumbered in the hidden temple, waiting for someone with the strength to awaken you.

And, of course, Poe Dameron, never one to back down from a challenge, had volunteered for the job.

As Poe approached the central chamber, his heart beat faster. The stone doors groaned as they slid open, revealing a grand hall. In the center of the room, a large crystal floated, suspended in midair, casting a faint glow over the room. Inside the crystal was a figure—your figure. You appeared peaceful, almost serene, your body surrounded by a shimmering mist.

"That’s her," Poe whispered to himself. He was struck by how… not monstrous you looked. In fact, you were beautiful, with your face relaxed and your hair gently floating around your head like you were submerged in water. But looks could be deceiving.

He took a deep breath and placed his hand on the crystal, feeling the cool energy pulsing beneath his fingertips. "Alright, let’s wake you up."

With a quick press of a button on his wrist communicator, a soft hum filled the air as the crystal started to crack. The mist surrounding you began to dissipate, and Poe stepped back, eyes wide as the crystal shattered into a thousand tiny fragments.

Your eyes fluttered open.

You gasped, stumbling forward, disoriented from centuries of sleep. Poe caught you before you fell, his hands steadying you as you blinked up at him, confusion evident in your gaze.

"W-Where am I?" you stammered, your voice hoarse from disuse.

"You're free," Poe replied, still holding you, but his grip was cautious. "I’m Poe Dameron, pilot with the Resistance. I just... well, I woke you up."

You blinked, your brows furrowing as you stared at him. "Why?"

Poe hesitated. "Well, we need your help."

You laughed, a low, bitter sound. "You woke me up because you need something from me? Typical."

Poe's jaw clenched, but he didn't let go of you. "Look, we can skip the whole ‘I’m the villain, you’re the hero’ bit. I’m not looking for a fight."

"Then why are you still holding me?" you shot back, your voice dripping with sarcasm.

Realizing he still had his hands on your arms, Poe let go quickly, stepping back. "Sorry. Didn’t want you to fall."

You raised an eyebrow, rubbing your arms where his hands had been. "Thanks, I guess. But if you’re expecting me to save the galaxy out of the goodness of my heart, you’re in for a disappointment."

Poe crossed his arms, leveling you with a steady gaze. "I don’t believe in the whole ‘good or evil’ thing. I’ve seen people make the wrong choices for the right reasons."

You snorted. "Is that your way of saying you trust me?"

He shrugged. "Maybe. Depends. Are you planning on trying to kill me?"

You tilted your head, pretending to think it over. "Not today."

"Good enough for me."

Days passed, and though you and Poe had started off on rocky ground, the tension between you slowly shifted into something else. The more time you spent together, the more you saw beyond the Resistance pilot’s cocky exterior. Poe was surprisingly patient with you, especially when you struggled to adjust to a galaxy that had changed so much in your absence.

One night, after a particularly close encounter with a squad of stormtroopers, the two of you found yourselves alone on the Millennium Falcon, the tension between you palpable as you argued over the next steps of your mission.

"I still don’t trust you," you snapped, pacing back and forth.

Poe leaned against the wall, watching you with a faint smile. "Yeah, I got that."

"You think you’re so charming, don’t you?" you continued, glaring at him. "Just because you’re a hotshot pilot, you think everyone will fall in line behind you."

Poe raised an eyebrow, his arms crossed. "You think I’m charming?"

You faltered, your cheeks burning. "That's not the point!"

Poe smirked, pushing off the wall and taking a step closer to you. "Maybe not, but it’s interesting that you think so."

You scoffed, turning away to hide your embarrassment. "Just—leave me alone."

But Poe wasn’t done. "You know," he said, his voice softer now, "knowing the dark doesn’t make you a monster."

You froze at his words, your breath catching in your throat. Slowly, you turned to face him, your eyes meeting his. "What do you know about darkness?"

Poe’s expression was serious now, all traces of teasing gone. "More than you think."

For the first time, you saw past the cocky grin and the easy-going attitude. There was something deeper there—something haunted. You swallowed, suddenly unsure of yourself. "Why do you care?"

"Because I see you," Poe said, stepping closer until he was right in front of you. "You’re not the monster everyone says you are."

Your heart pounded in your chest, and for the first time in years, you felt vulnerable. "You don’t know me."

"Maybe not," Poe admitted, his voice barely above a whisper now. "But I want to."

Before you could stop yourself, you closed the distance between you, your lips crashing against his in a kiss that was filled with all the frustration, confusion, and longing you had been trying to deny.

Poe’s hands slid around your waist, pulling you closer as he deepened the kiss, his lips warm and soft against yours. You could feel the electricity between you, the undeniable pull that had been building for days. It was intense, overwhelming, and yet somehow, it felt right.

When you finally pulled away, breathless, you stared up at him, your heart racing. "I—"

Poe pressed a finger to your lips, silencing you with a smile. "Don’t overthink it."

You couldn’t help but laugh, shaking your head. "You really are infuriating."

"And yet, here you are," Poe teased, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

You rolled your eyes but couldn’t fight the smile tugging at your lips. "Yeah, well... you’re lucky I’m stuck with you."

Poe grinned, pulling you back into his arms. "Oh, I’m counting on it."

How are you??

Can I request a Kylo Ren x reader where the reader is Kylo’s soulmate and Rey’s older sister and the reader is a very powerful force user and the reader, Kylo and Rey all fight together to defeat the stormtroopers who want to kill Kylo so the reader uses the force but is overwhelmed by it that the reader releases a massive energy blast and passes out but Kylo catches the reader in his arms and carries the reader back to his shop and Rey gets worried about her older sister and Kylo calms Rey down and they all go to the resistance base and Finn, Poe notices that Kylo is carrying the reader in his arms but asks Kylo if the reader is ok and gently places the reader on his bed and waits for the reader to wake up.

meet me on the battlefield

warnings: injury, fluff, light language, fem presenting reader (she/her pronouns), NOT CANON

i want to make our reader Rey's half-sister (fathers side) so she still has palpatine blood, but you can imagine the other half to be any race/ethnicity) lmk if i missed anything (:

a/n: ok so i switched it up a tiny bit because you said kylo and not ben and i got confused 🤨 summary: reader is a rebel like Rey, but Kylo has a force connection with her. they're fighting in battle against the First Order but reader uses the energy blast, and kylo senses (?) it. anyways he brings her back to the rebel base and everyone's like wtf. etc.

past

You hated him. You really hated him. But he grew on you.

The first time you had seen him it was a shock. You were getting ready for bed, in the Resistance base in the middle of a godforsaken rain forest (you were thinking you would much rather be on a ship,) and he had appeared.

"For Kriffs sake, did Rey steal my lightsaber again?" You cursed as you shuffled through a pile of clothes in the corner of your tiny room on the Resistance base. You sneezed and stumble into a second pile of clothed as some of the forest air entered you lungs. "Allergies" you cursed as you had shut the small window in the corner of your already stuffy room. Wiping your nose on your arm, you just started to turn around but were met by a familiar, and terrifying, helmet.

"Oh no." You whimpered and backed away, heading to the door. "Can you see my surroundings? I can't see yours." A voice far to sinister to be General Leia's son said. Although you could, in fact, see his surroundings, (which happened to be his bedchamber) you say nothing. Until he called your name. "How- how do you know that?" You shudder, wishing you had your saber. "I can feel you through the force. The Dark Side of the force." He countered, still standing ominously in the corner of your room.

"Where are you?" he demanded, modulated voice sending shivers down your spine. "I-I cant tell you..." you uttered, as the walls seemed to blur and shift around you with every step Kylo took forwards, coming closer to you by the second.

"SHIT" you screamed as the door banged open, revealing Poe standing in his flying uniform. "You're jumpy today" Poe laughed as he looked at your terrified expression. You quickly turned back to look at the spot where Kylo had been mere seconds ago, absolutely bewildered, seeing nothing.

After that, he visited you.

every. single. night

It started off with him scaring you as you were preparing for bed. Then after a shower. Then before a shower (that one was particularly uncomfortable.) After some time, Kylo just became part of your nightly routine, like brushing you teeth. He popped up out of nowhere, scaring the living daylights out of you, sometimes not talking, sometimes ranting out the First Order or some General named Hux. But there was simply one constant that was never broken. The mask stayed on.

Your daily live stayed the same. Well, mostly.

present

The First Order was attacking the base. THE First Oder was attacking the base. This could put everything into jeopardy. The lives of everyone here. The lives of your allies across the galaxy. Your friends. But the only thing you could think about was him. Kylo. You shouldn't. You really shouldn't. But as you strap your saber onto your belt, and prepare you multiple blasters, you can't help it.

*What if I get to see his face?*

But you can't be thinking that. "I'm not a foolish schoolgirl anymore" you mumble under your breath, unaware of the presence behind you. "Oh really?" A modulated voice interrupts. "For Kriffs sake I told you to stop sneaking up on me Kylo." You turn, annoyed.

"We're laying siege to your camp." He muses, tossing his sabers hilt from hand to hand. You groan. "No need to talk like a medieval war-lord Ren." He laughs. He laughs like he isn't about to probably slaughter half the people you know.

"Meet me on the battlefield."

The fighting goes by in a blur. The masks make it easier to destroy the stormtroopers. It makes them less human. You've probably been engaged in open combat for the better part of an hour. You consider retreating from the front lines back to the base. There's no way the meager army can hold the Order back for much longer, and the last evacuation ships are about to fly.

Until. Until you see Rey, at the end of a blaster. No running away now, you think, as you sprint towards your half-sister. But it's too late. Well almost. You're too far. So instead of physically fighting the trooper, you reach into the force. You've scarcely been trained, but you manage to knock the blaster as well as trooper to the ground. And consequently pass out.

Unaware to you, Kylo feels it. He feels you use the force, and then, just stop. He freaks out. He all but pushes Hux to the side to exit the command center. "Bloody hell Ren! Can you just-" Hux starts before Kylo pulls out his Saber. He basically rips the door off its hinges, and readies himself. As he enters the hangar he hopes nothing happens to you. As he slides inside his Silencer he hopes he's not too late.

He races to the planet at full speed, and upon arrival, stomps out onto the battlefield, combat boots squelching through the blood and earth, cape flowing regally, helmet intact.

Resistance fighters call into base warning General Leia, and Han, along with Poe, Finn, Rey (still recovering from a near death experience,) and an assortment of others trying to take all valuables out of the base.

You're passed out on the battlefield. Well, sort of. You're dimly aware of some tall, masked figure picking you up, and storming into what looks like the base. "Wait a damn minute," you think as you jerk back into consciousness. "KYLO?" you scream, squirming in his arms. "Shut up" The modulated voice, commands, and you obey, simply happy you haven't been killed yet. He marches through the rebel camp, all but deserted, to where you direct him too. Which happens to be where his mother is.

He kicks open the door, only to be greeted by inhabitants frozen in shock. "My son..." Leia starts, but is cut off by him. "She's injured. I'm putting her here." He booms, voice much to loud for your ears. "You've got some nerve walking in here, mask boy" Poe cautions, obviously angry but very confused. "Shut the fuck up." Kylo interjects, setting you down. Then he takes off his mask. He takes of his mask.

He's..... beautiful. Luscious hair, aquiline nose, brown eyes and full lips. Reactions around the room vary. "How old are you, 25?" Finn shrieks. A withering stare from Kylo shuts him up. "So... son-" Han begins, "Don't call me son." Kylo immediately shoots back at him. "Are we going to uh.. call off this attack, yeah?" Han questions hopefully. "No." Kylo states, unbothered, focusing on starting to bandage your wounded arm. You're partially conscious, but aware of the bickering room. And Kylo's face. "Are you guys, like, a thing?" Poe asks reluctantly, speaking on behalf of the whole room. Kylo doesn't respond. He doesn't know what you are.

After assuring you're safe, he leaves without a word, returning to his Silencer, and then to the Finalizer.

He knows, one day, he'll have you.

[enkisstories]

At long last Poe and Finn were reunited, as was the dyad consisting of Kylo and Rey.

But for another couple, the happy reunion was a parting.

Rose and Corra turned away, unwilling to join Emperor Palpatine's court. Nobody was stopping them, not yet anyway. If they had a chance to get away with their lifes, then that was now, when everyone was still confused and trying to determine their place in the new situation.

Rose now owned two mementos of people she'd never in her life touch again: Her fallen sister's pendant and Grand-Marshall Hux' ring. The first had died way too fast... and the latter will take way too long until he’ll be dead to Rose.

Kylo: "My feelings in this are utterly diametral to mastery of the dark side, but I'm glad that you're here with us, Rey."

Rey: "With you? Standing next to you, maybe, but not "with" you. Not when you do the emperor's bidding!"

Kylo: "You will find that you have no say in this matter."

Finn: "Poe? You didn't do something stu... something noticeably more stupid than usual?"

Poe: "I brought you all back to life!"

Kylo: "And now everyone who was resurrected in this fashion is bound to the emperor's will. I couldn't have asked for a better army!"

Phasma: "Did you hear that, Armitage? The elite of the Resistance - and they cannot resist the emperor's command! We're invincible now!"

Hux: “Right. Enjoy getting used as floor mops by the force users.”

Phasma: "Huh? You're LEAVING? In the moment of our triumph?"

Agnon: “Let him, Captain. That’s one less rival to account for in the soon to come reshuffling of positions in High Command.”

Armitage: "The first to make a "Love redeemed the genocidal narcissist" comment gets a headful of displeasure so strong that I don't need force powers to radiate it!"

Corra: “I take it you already have a plan, Sir?”

Armitage: “...yes. Of course I have a plan! I just can’t elaborate on it within earshot of the enemy.”

Rose: “For starters we can confuse them by following MY plan!”

Armitage: “Great, let’s do that! It’ll give me time to put the finishing touches on mine!”

Rose: *chuckles*

Star wars the force awakens little rewrite

The thought behind rey and kylo is that they are the new son and daughter of the force. Tying into clone wars.

Anakin furfilled his destiny as the new father only after death, meaning his partners couldnt be born sooner. His role is to ceep both forces in line and he cant do that, if he doesnt has acces to his power ( the suit limited him ).

Originally his twins whould habe been chosen but since he wasnt ready, they keept their human Limits and no forsefull destiny. That is why Luke and Lea are so strong.

So after Anakin died the force was ready to look for candidates to become the new dark and light side. The dark got to chose first and obviously took the best option. The son of Han and Lea who is only shortly after vaders death created. Now the light waits hoping someone else in this family gets a child. But nobody wants to.

After years the light has to look for a candidate elsewhere ( the force can guide us but can not force us to do things we dont want to, like getting a child ). The child can come from nowhere but a force user is better. So the light chose the kid of Ran ( Original leader of the knight of Ren ).

This is where the story of the force awakens start ( the knowledge that rey is the daughter is still unknown to the audience ).

Careful this is going to be dark, so Warning.

Ren is a bad Person and had his way with many women who he all killed afterwards to stop his DNA from spreading. But he keept one women he liked and who was supposed unable to get children. However she got pregnent and the child who was still in her belly, actually set her free by using the force so the mother could escape. This convinced her to keep the child and they had a lovely relationship on a Dessert planet. The only downside was that the mother forbid rey from using the force since it reminded her of Ren. She tells rey that ren is the leader of the knights of ren.

After rey is an adult she sees her mother get killed by Dessert smugglers working for the first order. She was to late to save her mother, who she could have saved if she had understood her powers better. Which she wants to use to kill the attackers, but they get away ( still not strong enough ). ( this is a parallel to Anakin ). After that she swears revenge on the Dessert smugglers and on Ren, who she blames since he is the reason she never trained her power and couldnt use it to protect her mother. Starting her journy to find the first order.

She ends up at the council of the new democracy who is in power and has the Mission to eliminate all left traces of the empire. ( the first order is a small organisation left of the empire who tries to gain some Form of power back, giving us a mix between how the sith where treated during the republic and how the rebells where treated by the empire ).

There she meets Leia who sences her as force user and suggest she can go to Luke and train. But Rey declines ( still fealing like she doesnt want to be a jedi since her mother hated the force ) and explaining she wants to help hunt down the first order instead as a pilot. ( she doesnt tell leia of her revenge plans since she fears lea will stop her and as pilot she can get close to her Target ).They Form a bond during which Leia tells her that her son also didnt want to be a jedi and wanted to become a pilot instead. But leia never mentions his name or talk much about him.

Later ray meets poe and finn. Who just came back from the opening scene of the original movie. ( i keep this scene which the change that kylo isnt looking for Luke but poe was stealing Infos about the first order and kylo caught him. Poe is alive since kylo says that he is important to leia and though can make a good bargain chip. That the old man tried to hide poe and mentions kylo past still stays in. This is also the opening scene with rey whole story coming after. )

During the Meeting between ray, finn and poe the background people call poe the ace of Solo. Saying he is the top Pilot and Leia's favourite. Leia is not there. ( i want the audience to think that poe is han and leia son ).

Poe trains both Finn and Rey and tells them of the knights of Ren. The dark force users who are the secret weapon of the first order and who they have strickt Orders on capturing alive. ( he doesnt say why )

We see months pass with rey going from Mission to Mission to finally getting the Info about the Dessert Group. ( during this Montage we see rey Training and kylo ren during a similar gesture except killing someone ) The Info is that they where seen with some small forces at .... Her friends told her because they know ( unlike leia ) she was looking for them. But she isnt allowed to go there because the Info isnt clear if a knight is with them and if this whould be the case, they would need stronger forces. Rey doesnt care because her goal isnt the small force or the knight ( who wouldnt look out if the smugglers are missing ) but only the smugglers and those could be gone the next day.

Ergo she decides to go alone and uses her piloting skill and the force instinct ( still untrained ) to remain undetected and look for the Dessert people. Poe and Finn followed her after they realised she was gone and left a message to Leia to bring Backup.

During the Mission rey, finn and poe find each other and after realising that this is bigger than the Info told them, decide to leave without anyone knowing. ( they figure out that 300 fighters are there and the leader of the knights of Ren ) This gets ruined by rey who even after poe told her not too. Shots all Dessert people when she hears them speak of how many useless women they killed.

This reveals their location and poe gets shot and killed. Finn can get himself out to the escape door but rey doesnt want to follow. She is afraid that when he tells leia what happened she will be imprisoned forever because she is the reason her son died.

Rey runs the other way thinking of how she has to move far away to escape and how guilty she feals. But that there is still one Person she has to kill first. Just than we see kylo appear again.

Rey greats Kylo as hello father. Only for him to reply he has no children. Rey tells him of how he ruined her mother and so many other women. Except kylo shows understanding and explains that her revenge comes to late. That he killed the Ren she is talking about. Rey wants to know how she can be sure he is not lying. Therefore he takes off his helmet revealing he is too young to be her father. Rey ask who he is and the Film end with kylo saying his true name. I am Ben Solo.

The force awakens is Rey story while the last jedi is the story of Ren. ( his backstory and what happened after this meeting with rey, we follow him around this time ) The rise of skywalker would than focus on both and reveal the meaning behind their force connection, which we seen only a little bit now since rey is untrained unlike ben. But we saw some connection during the Montage.

What do you guys think? Should i write part 2 for Ben?

Masterpost

It had been about two months since you and Poe had slept in the same bed and the two of you had gotten significantly closer. You spent every second of free time together and you had actually managed to drop your guard around him. Your training with Leia had been completed, with nothing left to teach you. Instead, you focused on solo training, building your connection with your sabers and the masters who came before you. Through this, you came to understand many unique styles of saber wielding, especially from dark side users. It made sense as the dark side prided on the power of the individual. There were a few particular ones that you enjoyed and incorporated into your own technique and you felt like you could take on the world. 

“Hey, N/N,” Poe greeted you as you left your room.

You joined his stride down the hallway, “Hey, Poe. What are your plans for the day?”

He smiled at you as you walked, “Leia’s got me busy pretty much all day, needed here and there apparently. What about you?”

You nodded, “I’m gonna be doing a bit of mediation and solo training.” You eventually reached the conjunction that split the two of you, “Good luck with your chores.”

Poe chuckled and nodded his head as he walked down his own direction.

You left the main area of the base and went over to your training ground and begun your practice. Now that you had learned all of the saber forms, your individual practice mostly comprised of you practicing different kinds of combinations. You had been going out on missions with Poe and getting more battle experience with your sabers and in general so you were feeling very confident in your abilities. You spent a few hours as usual practicing until you eventually decided to spend the rest of the day meditating, trying to gain more knowledge and a deeper connection with the force. 

As you sat and meditated, you let the outside world bleed away, letting your body feel the force inside of the air, all throughout you. As you did so, you felt the force users who came before you, each of them connected with the cosmic force in their own unique ways. As you did, you felt a very familiar presence and focused on it. As you did, you began to hear whispers.

“I’m not a killer, I’m not like you.”

“I won’t leave you. Not this time.”

You felt something in front of you and opened your eyes.

“Been a while,” Ahsoka quirked an eyebrow as she looked at you amusingly. 

You smiled warmly, “Look at how old you’ve grown.”

She laughed slightly, “The last time I saw you, you nearly killed me. Now we meet again years later and the first thing you say to me is that I’m old?”

You laughed a bit as well, “It really is good to see you, someone that I know from... before.”

She sighed and looked at you knowingly, “If you’re looking for Jedi advice, I’m probably one of the worst people to come to.”

You furrowed your eyebrows, “What do you mean? Were you not Anakin’s padawan?”

She smiled lightly, “I was, until I left the order.”

You recoiled, “What? Why did you leave?”

She sighed, “I’m not here to give you a history lesson, Y/N. I came because I sensed a certain conflict within you.”

You raised your brows this time, “Conflict? How do you mean?”

She gave you a knowing look, “You think I don’t know about your feelings for Poe?”

You gulped as you blushed slightly, “I-I don’t-”

“Oh, spare me the denial, Y/N. Why are you keeping your feelings inside? Because of an old idea, held by a religion that ultimately ended up crumbling?” she reminded you.

You sighed and looked at her for a moment before responding, “Ahsoka, I can’t just ignore something the Jedi held so strictly. Even if I didn’t, Poe doesn’t think of me that way. Who even said I thought of him that way?”

She pressed, “I left the order, not for that reason, but I ultimately realized that there were so many things wrong with it. Including that. And how do you know what Poe’s feelings are if you’ve never tried asking him? I remember when Lux and I first met, we danced around our feelings for so long that we barely even got to indulge in them. It’s one of my biggest regrets.”

You listened to her intently as you knew she was here to give you wisdom you were lacking, “But what if my case is different? My affinity with the dark side is already concerningly deep... adding in romance to my life? I could become a monster.”

She shook her head slowly with a smile, “That’s not who you are. Every decision we make is a choice, and I trust that you will always be able to make the right one.”

You smiled in return, “Thank you, Ahsoka. I’ll keep your words in mind.”

She bowed her head slightly and closed her eyes, her physical manifestation bleeding away into nothingness. You decided that was enough for the day and returned to your room to shower after grabbing some food at the mess. As you got dressed comfortably, you plopped yourself down on your bed and let your thoughts run in your mind.

Do I have romantic feelings for Poe? He makes me feel incredible and... it’s like I get nervous whenever he’s near but in a good way, one that makes my skin come alive. I also can’t ignore the... reaction I get down there whenever he looks at me a certain way or touches me even innocently. Oh maker, I definitely have feelings for him. But there’s no way that he would like me, I remember he said that I was the first guy he had ever cuddled with... that means that he has definitely never been with a man before. He’s 32 so he definitely knows his sexuality by now, so why bother admitting my feelings to him? He’d just reject me and things would never be the same afterwards.

You lost yourself in your thoughts as sleep eventually overtook you.

You awoke to the sound of your alarm the next morning and groaned as you flipped over in bed. The overhead lights came on and you sighed once more before throwing yourself out of bed and walking towards the bathroom. After doing your morning routine, cleaning up and grooming, you got dressed and left your room, leaving to knock on Poe’s to get no response. Guess he left a bit early today. Your comms pinged.

“Y/N, we need you in command.”

“On my way,” you responded.

Upon entering command, you saw Poe along with Leia and several others huddled around the holo table.

“Lor San Tekka has sent us a communication from Jakku. He says he has the map to Luke Skywalker,” Leia announced.

There were gasps heard around the room as the information sinked in.

“That’s why I’m going in and getting the info,” Poe chimed in.

You made yourself known, “Alone?”

Poe’s eyes met yours and you swore you say a faint smile form, “That’s right. It’s likely we’re not the only ones who know about this so we need to get in and out fast.”

“Commander Poe will be making contact with Tekka in a small village on the planet.”

After a bit more mission information, the session was adjourned and the room somewhat cleared out. As it did, you walked up to Poe and Leia at the holotable.

“There’s no way you’re doing this alone. A map to Luke? The First Order will be all over it,” you argued.

Poe sighed, “I know the risks, Y/N. But this needs to happen, and this is the only way to do it.”

You looked to Leia pleadingly, “General, you can’t possibly allow this.”

“Y/N, we all agree that this mission needs to happen.”

You heaved a breath frustratedly and looked off to the side.

Leia and Poe exchanged a glance and Leia walked away, Poe coming closer to you, “Hey, it’ll be ok.”

You looked at him with your arms crossed, “This kind of mission is way too sensitive. What if the First Order gets there first? You can’t take them all on by yourself.”

“Oh, you don’t believe in me?” he responded.

You gave him a dirty look and punched him in the shoulder, “I believe in you, but I just don’t want anything... bad happening to you.” You tried to find a way to cover up how openly caring you were being, “Who else is gonna buy me drinks?”

He laughed and you joined him, “Ah yeah, of course.”

Your laughter died down and the two of you simply held each other’s gaze as the smiles slowly dissipated from your faces.

“I promise, I’ll come back to y-” he coughed and cleared his throat, “I’ll come back soon just you wait.”

You looked at him for a few more moments before eventually nodding, “Alright, just promise to be careful, alright?” 

He nodded in response, “I will.”

You saw Poe off and talked to BB-8 and told him to watch his back. Right when he left, you rushed back to command to oversee the entire mission. For a while, it was just waiting as Poe traveled through lightspeed, one of the workers being kind enough to bring you some food as you waited for a few hours. 

“Master Y/N?” A-3 had come up to you in the corner of the room.

You turned to him and responded, “A-3, how has work in command been?”

His eyes lit up brightly as he responded, “They have treated me incredibly! Though I have to say the 3P model here seems to have taken a personal offense to my being here.”

You chuckled a bit, “I’m glad you’re making friends.”

“Sir, if I may, there was another thing I wished to speak about,” his tone suddenly became soft.

You squinted your eyes, “Are you currently employing your therapeutic programs?

His metallic body moved back just slightly as he looked at you, puzzled for a moment, “I-Indeed, sir I have.”

You looked at him inquisitively, “And what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?”

“Ruie and I have computed and we, well mostly I, have calculated you to be in distress over Commander Poe, is that right?”

You sighed, “Yeah, that’s no secret, we all are.”

He waited a moment before he responded, “My information processors are telling me that you are concerned for Commander Poe in a much... more serious note?”

You nodded your head exasperated, “Of course I am, he’s my best friend.”

“Forgive me sir,” he began, “it seems as though you do not understand what I mean. I am talking about you being concerned with Commander Poe because you lo-”

“Zip it A-3!” you shouted suddenly.

A few heads in the room turned towards the commotion for a moment before returning to their work.

“My sincerest apologies, sir, I simply wanted to know if you needed someone to talk to about it,” he spoke softly.

You sighed heavily, “I’m sorry for my outburst, A-3. I know you’re just trying to help and I appreciate that, but I’m fine. Please, get back to where you’re needed.”

He gave you a short bow, “As you wish, Master Y/N.”

After A-3 had walked off, you spent a few minutes trying to calm yourself down and wait for Poe to give notice. 

Finally, “Coming out of hyperspace now.”

You stood from your chair and came up to the holotable, “Command reads you.”

“Proceed with the mission Commander Poe,” Leia commanded.

“Copy that, making entry to Jakku now.”

You were nervous to say the least. It wasn’t like Poe had never risked his life before, you’ve risked both of your lives over and over again but this was different. This mission is one of the most dangerous one’s the resistance has had since you’ve been here. You hated it, you couldn’t be there to protect Poe.

“Got a visual on the town, BB-8 let me see those landing gears,” Poe said.

You were tracking his ship through the holotable and were connected through the comms, “Any First Order activity?”

“Negative, looks like we’ve got here first.”

“Doesn’t mean they aren’t right on your tail, get in, get the info, and get out,” you instructed, feeling your nerves bubble in your gut.

“It’s alright, Y/N. I’ll see you guys soon.”

“BB-8, keep the scanners on and feed it to us, I want to make sure we’re prepared for anything,” you said as you understood they were about to leave the ship.

“Good idea,” Leia commented.

You nodded towards her in response before seeing the data from the ship scanners. From the planet, it would be unable to scan for ships coming into orbit but at the least he could get a heads up for company. 

“Going in now, see you guys soon,” was the last thing you heard before communications ended.

“He’ll be fine,” Leia spoke softly towards you, sensing your trepidation.

You stared at her for a moment, “Leia, you can’t guarantee that.”

She nodded, “I can’t, but we have to believe in Poe. And if it comes to it, help him.”

You nodded determinedly, “Damn right.”

After some time had passed with you pacing back and forth, an alert began to sound.

“What’s going on?” you yelled as you rushed to the holotable.

“Incoming troop carriers, it’s the First Order,” one of the logistics officers informed.

“Shit! BB-8 do you copy?” 

You heard a few beeps and boops in response.

“Go warn Poe now! Get out of there BB-8!” you yelled.

He made a few alarm noises and rushed out of the x-wing to go notify Poe. 

You walked over to the logistics officer as he had a screen in front of him, “How many?”

Still looking at the screen, “Two of them, a shuttle as well.”

“Do we know who’s on-”

“Ren...” you whispered breathlessly.

You knew about Leia’s son from her memories but you had never felt him before through the force. To be honest, you never tried as you didn’t want them to know of your presence but Poe being in danger loosened your guard and you felt him. 

“What did you say?” Leia asked, shock written across her features.

You gave her a solemn look, “It’s Kylo Ren.”

Sneak Peaks

I meant to post these yesterday, but just a couple of sneak peaks of what’s coming!

Perhaps It’s Fate

Poe felt like he had been punched in the gut. You were gone; with his intense desire to protect you, to give you the life you deserved--he’d pushed you away, probably for good. Before he could even think straight, he asked when he could get clearance to take off. He was going to Mon Cal, he was going after you--the mission, the Resistance be damned.

The Light of a Thousand Stars

There was barely time to react as the steal clad knight emerged from behind the rock. Evelyn, not opened to the Force, startled and it was just the right amount of time the dark side user needed to slash his sword across her abdomen. She managed to unlatch and ignite her lightsaber, but the strenuous swing of the blade that followed barely made a dent on the Knight of Ren's armor.

"Hey!" Kaleb shouted, snapping his own lightsaber to life. He reached out and called Evelyn's weapon to his free hand. "Get away from her!"

The Rebels Last Stand

Chapter LXXXIII: Reflections

//////////////////////////////////////

To start from Chapter I, go here: https://how-do-i-turn-this-thing-off.tumblr.com/post/169184041771/oh-my-god-you-know-what-i-want-i-want-rey-to-be

////////////////////////////////////////

Rey stood at the broad viewscreen of Ben's private quarters, wrapped in one of his black cloaks, of which he had surprisingly many. Ben himself slept in the bed behind her, a sleep both deep and content. They'd had sex once in the Command Suite, then decided to move down here and do the same again, but in a bed, like civilized people. It had been better, somehow, the second time. It had been even better than that, somehow, the third.

In the midst of all of it, however, she'd still been able to feel his hurt, like a stream still running underground, out of sight but not gone entirely. His quarters had a rear-facing view and so she looked that way again, examining the Resistance Scythe being towed behind them, limned in the blue glow of the tractor beam, holding steady even at this speed. She didn't have much experience with the feeling of hate but she felt something like it now for the people who had hurt him, like Poe, and the people who had hurt her, like Leia. Leia, who had drugged her with a mind control agent. Leia, who would rather be captured by the First Order than allow Rey to use the Dark Force to save all their lives.

Leia, who had waited until Rey's back was turned, then injected her with what Ben had called a Sith weapon.

Rey took a step back, looking at her own reflection, ghostly in the blue light. She was barely there, when swathed all in black. In fact, she looked a lot like Ben when he was going into battle, only his face visible and then only when he took off his mask.

The Dark Force was strong in her. Now, in the quiet, she could still detect the shadow heartbeat of the Kyber crystal, malevolent as ever, burrowed in under her skin. She looked backward towards the pile of her clothes and held her hand out, calling her saber to her. It came easily into her hand, the doubled halves folded together. She examined it then stepped back from the viewscreen again, firing the blade. The red glow flushed across the black cloak, across her white face, lighting the whole area around her. She reached out in the Force to check Ben was still asleep, but he hadn't stirred.

Rey looked back at her reflection, considering. The Dark Force in the crystal beat in time with the rhythm under her heart, somehow still separate from her even though the Dark Force was strong in her now. She'd thought the blade would make her look even more like Ben, but somehow it hadn't. She didn't look like him, and she didn't look like herself, either.

In fact, she had no idea who the woman in the reflection was. The End

Star worms🪱 !

oh boy. star worms is the brainchild of me and two friends going a little bit insane due to getting trapped in a too small house during lockdown over the holidays. and thinking, what if the star wars sequel trilogy.... was good?

so instead of just rehashing the vague aesthetic and ideas of the original trilogy, we took a step away from What Star Wars Looks Like. the ot is a fairytale mixed with samurai movies. the pt is political drama flavoured with arthurian legend. star worms is based on hong kong and chinese martial arts movies, i don't think we ever nailed down the cross genre but something closer to political thriller.

so a lot of the same character concepts, finn is a stormtrooper in the scattered dregs of the empire who rescues poe, a captured republic pilot. rey's a scavenger on jakku. kylo ren is still leia and han's son - but he joins the knights of ren (ren being played by michelle yeoh), one of whom is an oracle who can sense other force users: when finn has his awakening on jakku, the knights move to secure him as an ally and the plot unfolds from there.

we kept the light/dark pull of rey and kylo both being corrupted by each other but fucked around heavily with the power structure of both the empire/first order and the republic: a lot of cutthroat politics and stuff. the original trio are in it but much less so. there's documents and folders and concept art for this thing. we basically talked about only this for two weeks. will we ever write it???? who fuckin knows

[patchodraws]

sorry to star wars post on main i’ve been thinking a lot lately about what a new jedi order trilogy - led by rey - could look like, and what it could do to separate itself from the cycle of repetitive star wars storytelling. i remember seeing a post a while back on reddit about having a trilogy with droids as the main antagonists, and decided to expand on the idea a bit. here’s some of my thoughts:

this trilogy would take place maybe ten or so years after the rise of skywalker. the new republic didn’t get reformed, instead being replaced by a new galactic governance called the interstellar allegiance. it’s nowhere near as powerful as either republic was, but without any remnant threat, the biggest issue is pirates and crime lords and not the ideology of the empire.

in the first movie, our antagonists are a droid union known as the binary rise, who have grown impatient with their lot in life with the republic, the empire, and the allegiance not having done anything to fight for their rights in the galaxy after a decade of advocacy. using factory plans from geonosis, the leaders of the binary rise have begun manufacturing droids without the same labour programming used before, allowing them more free will in their efforts to make their goals known to the galaxy at large. i think some interesting plot points could be finn - who’s part of rey’s order and seeing this chaos unfurling in the galaxy - choosing to leave the order and align himself with the union, given his own past as a first order stormtrooper and how he believes all beings deserve the same rights. another point could be to retrieve the main computer from the millennium falcon - aka L3-37 - as both a strategist and leader after her decades-long imprisonment. finally, in looking to gain an advantage over organics in the galaxy, the union could uncover the secret of the Nameless from the high republic series - creatures that drive force users insane - in order to level the playing field.

the next movie could see desperate members of rey’s jedi order scrambling to find something to counteract the threat of the union and the nameless, searching for destructive dark side secrets. rey could catch wind of this and set off to stop her students from uncovering something ancient and powerful, maybe like abeloth? with the allegiance currently in conflict with the union, it could be up to a small number of characters and no millennium falcon to pursue these dark students. poe could join rey and they could even turn to finn and ask for his help, reuniting but under shaky circumstances to stop an even greater threat than the union and the scattered nameless. this would be the movie where the characters grow a bit more and come to understand the plight of the droids, as well as maybe discuss solutions to the conflict that don’t end up like the last several, looking to break the cycle of war in the galaxy. of course, being the middle movie of the trilogy, we could see this ancient evil uncovered and released upon the galaxy, creating a threat both for the union and the allegiance that - in the third movie - they must somehow unite to vanquish. i haven’t thought much about the last movie in this supposed trilogy, but it would be interesting to see the antagonists of the first film join the protagonists (after receiving their rights, of course, as part of negotiations for their help) to stop a massive threat that’s actually built up in the previous film.

obviously, this is nothing more than a jumble of thoughts that a proper screenwriter could probably vastly improve upon, but what do y’all think ?

Star Wars fanfic: The Rise of Skywalker - Between Fates Part 2

What I got after googling: 'Who was the most popular character in the SW sequels:

AI Overview

In the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo is widely considered the most popular and well-received character. His character arc, from a promising Jedi to a formidable Dark Side user, and ultimately his redemption, resonated deeply with fans. Adam Driver's performance also played a significant role in his popularity. 

Here's why Kylo Ren stands out:

Compelling Character Arc:His journey from Ben Solo to Kylo Ren, and his subsequent redemption, provided a complex and engaging narrative. 

Adam Driver's Performance:Driver's portrayal of Kylo Ren was widely praised for its depth and nuance. 

Redemption and Tattered Nature:His redemption, similar to Darth Vader's, made him a more likable character compared to other villains who had no redeemable qualities, like Hux and Phasma. 

Strong Connection to the Saga:Kylo Ren's lineage, as the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, and his connection to Luke Skywalker and the Force, made him a central figure in the trilogy. 

Fan Response:Surveys and discussions among fans consistently highlight Kylo Ren as a favorite. 

While Rey, Finn, and Poe also gained popularity, Kylo Ren's complex and nuanced character arc, combined with Driver's stellar performance, solidified his position as a standout and most popular character in the sequel trilogy. 

It's the little things in life that make it fun!

AI CREATED STAR WARS 20 CHARACTERS TRANSFORMED INTO MMA FIGHTERS SOURCE: @hitek.fr AI: @Midjourney ARTIST: @vaddymusic Star Wars is one of the greatest sagas and has left its mark on generations of fans thanks to its endearing characters and spectacular action scenes. But what would happen if these characters traded in their lightsabers, blasters and ships for fighting gloves and an MMA cage, user vaddymusic wondered. CHARACTERS READY TO FIGHT With his Reddit account, vaddymusic shared several images of Star Wars characters transformed into MMA fighters on the /Midjourney subreddit. There we find Princess Leia, Padmé, Kylo Ren, Chewbacca and Darth Maul, each with an outfit, posture and expression that represent them. Princess Leia, for example, wears a white outfit and gloves. As for Padmé, she wears a red outfit and she lifts her bras to show her guard. For Kylo Ren, he appears shirtless, with black combat gloves. He has a dark expression and we feel him animated by the dark side of the Force. Regarding Chewbacca, Han Solo's faithful companion, he doesn't need a lot of clothes to fight. He simply wears brown combat gloves that match his fur. Another has been converted into a fighter, this is Darth Maul ready to fight with his bare hands, without his double lightsaber. 1/ YODA 2/ PALPATINE 3/ COMTE DOOKU 4/ REY 5/ OBI-WAN KENOBI 6/ DARK MAUL 7/ BOBA FETT 8/ QUI-GON JINN 9/ C-3PO 10/ POE DAMERON 11/ PRINCESSE LEIA 12/ PADMÉ AMIDALA 13/ MACE WINDU 14/ KYLO REN 15/ CHEWBACCA 16/ ANAKIN SKYWALKER 17/ HAN SOLO 18/ DARK VADOR 19/ LUKE SKYWALKER 20/ JABBA LE HUTT #starwars #mma #fighter #ai #4k #movie

On the Supremacy's secondary bridge, Kylo Ren has attacked General Hux with his force powers. This isn't even a fight over dominance, this is simply the fallen Jedi venting a little.

The pain is familiar, as is the humiliation that goes along with it.

This is the lot of everyone in a galaxy ruled by the Sith. A high rank doesn't protect one from the whims of a force user. The strong and feeble alike will be nothing more than playthings.

What does Armitage Hux know about the shortcomings of the Republic? Nothing, really. It's just a nebulous concept he was programmed to hate from infancy and like a good boy Hux has removed the Republic from the equation. Done. The Dark Side, to the contrary, he has seen in action daily from the day the First Order had gotten founded. it is real and it really, really shouldn't be allowed to corrupt everything he is building.

Whenever Snoke or Kylo have taken their frustration out on the General in the past, Hux has kept himself from screaming.

Not so today. Today he does so loudly, but it isn't an utterance of pain or fear, but anger.

Kylo: "Your landings are getting better. Kudos, General!"

As Hux hits the ground, a new thought enters the man's mind unbidden:

Poe, Finn and Rose would never... With their soft ways.... Yet they're also fierce. How can one be both and still function? A person? A society?

Unable to make sense of the contradiction, the General almost welcomes him passing out.

Pryde: "Don't look so shocked, Commander. Hux was weak from the beginning. He never was a real candidate for Supreme Leadership, just the obstacle Kylo Ren needs to overcome to prove his own worth."

Kylo: I forge my own destiny! Haven't I killed Snoke? So how dares Pryde try to pull my strings? Come to think of it, why do I care about what the old man is doing?

What am I even still doing here? I killed Snoke. He had nothing more to teach me. The First Order has nothing I need or desire. I could go... I don't know. Wherever. Do whatever.

Trach: "Shall I... get this out of your view, Lord Ren?"

Kylo: Right. HIM. Hux and Pryde are trying to restrain me, keep me down. Who do they think they are? I'll show them! Show them all.

Kylo: "Uh-huh."

I’ve played a few more games and done heavy lore searches for stuff. Rouge was actually the first AC game I’ve 100% completed so I’ve read just about all of the information you can get in that game.

Here’s what I’ve picked up from playing and I tried to stay in order of what you mentioned.

1. Shay has no real motivation for joining the brotherhood. If you read his character file it explains he was kinda just told to by Liam.

2. Achilles did not know what would happen and just thinks Shay is blaming him for the mistake of not getting the POE.

3. Both were grieving. Achilles his wife and son, Shay the lives lost at Lisbon. Both blame themselves for it so we’re supposed to have that parallel between them but it doesn’t come across very well.

4. Shay is being used as a tool for both sides and Shay is not aware both times. With the brotherhood he’s kept in the dark so he doesn’t realize it and with the Templars they make it seem like his idea so he’ll go through with it no questions.

5. The women talk was mainly to show how childish and “human” Shay is compared to the other Assassins. It also makes me very uncomfortable too. You can also see during the training how they treat Shay as a child with backhanded comments about his skill and how he isn’t very serious.

6. The shaving of his hair I think is a “hair holds memories” thing to show that he’s not going to go back to the Assassins.

7. The whole point of rouge is to help set up the idea that the Assassins and Templars are two sides of the same coin. Neither is good or bad but you can’t see both sides of a coin at the same time thing. Both are trying to “help” the populace but the ways that they do that are questionable for each.

8. The fascism point is a good one. The mustache man was a Templar and is the technical founder of Abstergo within AC. He’s also the reason that the Animus exists because he tried to use an Apple to travel back in time.

9. You’re also supposed to draw parallels between Shay and Numbskull (Modern Counterpart/Animus User) to see that in the beginning Numbskull thinks that they are helping with research and fixing the servers only to be forced into being a Templar. It very much seems like Shay had a choice in the matter but with how he was treated by the Templars it’s very easy to tell that they were grooming him to think that joining them was the best choice while Numbskull is told join or die kind of thing.

10. I could go on but I think the point is made. It took me replaying memories and rewatching the modern cutscenes to realize most of this.

Assassin’s Creed Rogue Thoughts As I Go!

-did not realize this game is so short, woah

-I got spoiled about this game in a YouTube comment section which made me really not want to play it😔

-but I still am because I own it cuz it came with black flag haha

-right off the bat, I wish I knew why Shay joined the brotherhood in the first place. Why is he here? Why does he want to be an assassin? Personally if I was his mentor his way of going about things would indeed worry me

-what happens in Lisbon is horrific. I think they did a really good job of portraying that and feeling that fear and also helplessness that you can do nothing and your actions caused it.

-I think Shay should have actually tried to talk to Achilles first and I think Achilles should have tried talking to Shay as well- I’m frustrated because we don’t even learn if Achilles knew that would happen or not. And also why tf would this device do this? That’s extremely different from any other device from Eden that we have yet to see.

-I do appreciate Shay’s anger at what happen, it makes complete sense to me. However it’s like? He’s just like oh I’m a Templar now I guess. What? Like maybe no side is the good option here? Or maybe, idk, see why this happened???

-people might jump me for this and idk maybe im being to extreme, but this game……is not doing good for repping poc. I mean, yeah this is Ubisoft. And obviously people of color can be morally gray, can be antagonists, they are not a monolith, however I feel like they made Achilles the man in charge of the colonial brotherhood which is so dope and then now they choose to question the brotherhood’s actions? Have him be all about people following without asking questions?

Painting Shay as the one in the right here, the white man, in comparison to the black man? Idk it’s just not sitting right with me. (This is also taking place in the same game you kill that man’s father, the one black man protagonist this game series has had thus far)

-and going off of that, I think it is an important point to show that the assassins are not this beacon of virtue, which I feel the Ezio games and even AC1 taps into. And that not all Templars are nefarious villains. But I feel like isn’t the whole point of the conflict about how ends don’t justify the means? How both sides want peace, but what differs them is what they’re willing to do to achieve it? how the assassins focus on freedom and the Templars focus on control? It doesn’t matter how pure your motives are if you take away peoples freedom to achieve it?

Also looking at who holds power in the world, in our world, how that aligns with who are Templars. The Templars line of thinking is a slippery slope to fascism. The top dogs are fascists, I feel like this game is forgetting that? Maybe that’ll be different by the time I finish playing it. It’s just important to remember what side the maroons were on and what side the plantation owners were on. And to be fair, the Governor in Black Flag was anti-slavery, but did he truly see Black men and women as his equals? My guess is no.

I just feel like “Templars aren’t actually the bad guys!” Is not the nuanced take it’s being painted as.

-so idk i appreciate Shay being a literal human being and being angry about what happened but i question his choices

-also when he’s on the ship and tells Liam about …the women 😀 around the world I was really grossed out. (Also his dialogue is a great example of the Madonna Whore complex!! We love to see it!) (we don’t, that was sarcasm)

-so um he lost some major points from me due to that convo

-he looks better with less facial hair and a ponytail tho

-and I really like Liam! Please don’t make me kill him😭😭😭😭
