#finn's lightsaber is blue

[short-wooloo]

We've got our first official instance of Jedi Finn Merchandise!

According to leaks, there's going to be a LEGO set later this year based off the LEGO SW Holiday special

From the poor quality pictures I've seen, the set will be of the interior of the Millennium Falcon decked out in holiday decorations, and in it the set will have Chewbacca, BB-8, a Porg, Rey with yellow lightsaber (the first set to have one), and Finn with a blue lightsaber

Also Finn and Rey will be wearing holiday sweaters

Why Rey's Story Should Have Been Similar to Anakin's (WITH A TWIST 😉 )

Ok! Bear with me, I know this can be a touchy subject but I promise you it's not the path you think this will go.

Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one who was destined to bring balance to the force. I'm not sure why he had to become Darth Vader to achieve this, but that may be a topic for another time. However, there is no doubt that he was destined to fall into darkness, as this was confirmed back in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, episode Ghost of Mortis (3x17), where Anakin was shown a vision from The Son about his future. However, Anakin has his memories wiped out by his father so the events would play out. Why do I bring this Up?

Picture Rey's story going this route: PALPATINE IS DEAD. However, he was working on a clone son that would surpass his apprentice Darth Vader. The Clone is a failure and is set free after the events of Return of the Jedi. At some point, the clone meets a woman and they have a daughter named Rey. However, her parents abandoned her on a desert planet because they were terrified of her powers and the darkness that resides within her. However, she survives, joins the resistance, and fights the evil in the galaxy. However, her greatest adversary finds out her true lineage, hoping she will join his side. However, there's a twist: REY KNEW.

She knew her parents left her behind because they feared her. She knew the true origin of her lineage because she overheard her parents talking about it (or another source). She knew what would happen if she allowed her negative emotions to get to her while surviving on Jakku. She knew but she fought against it anyway.

I believe this would have been a compelling story for the sequel trilogy to adopt. The protagonist fights against the destiny that everyone around her expects her to become. She's pulled in so many directions: Her friends fear her, her enemies push her, and the entire galaxy wants her dead. Yet, she chooses hope. JJ Abrams could have also sneaked in a few hints about Rey's dark potential until the big twist. Some examples could be:

Losing control (maybe like a sonic scream)

Physical deformation (like The Son)

or classic Sith eyes (maybe she keeps them hidden under her own mask)

I know this felt more like a rewrite than an analysis but I'm sure we've all come up with thousands of ways a story could have gone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY MARIE TRAN!

I could talk about this color theory for hours. I kinda fell down a rabbit hole.

Acolyte Finale Thoughts

Spoilers ahead!!!!!

~~~

you've been warned.

3, 2, 1

My brother said everyone needs an inhaler because of their heavy breathing. 😂

Qimir helping her. Ffhihgvbcdstujbkkg 

Not even twins??? Because they weren't created biologically, I'm assuming. 

I can't tell if I'm rooting for Sol or Mae. 

Qimir and Osha are giving such Reylo vibes. 

DARTH PLAGUEIS?!!!!?!!!!!

Love the choreography!! Better than the entire sequel trilogy put together. 

As Finn said, "They fly now?" Just kidding- I love the slo-mo. 

I love how their outfits changed just like their views. Osha is accepting her negative emotions while Mae is learning to cope with them. 

THAT TRANSITION WAS CHEFS KISS 

Oh so the vision was Osha killing Sol, not Mae. 

Is nobody going to stop her? 

SOL, NOOOO 😭😭😭

The lightsaber transition was soooo good!! The blue to red because of the inner turmoil! 

Is Qimir her padawan? 

Ugh the force echo. Sol's body. 😭

I can't handle all this. 

They're doing a Spider-Man memory wipe. 😭

She's blaming Sol?????? That's actually kind of smart. Still messed up though. 

Mae is so confused 🥺

More Qimir/ Osha 

YODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. 

I'm actually happy with how it ended. I'm ready for Season 2!!

Chapter Summary

Finn rallies the citizens of Coruscant's Underground; Luke Skywalker's spirit tries one last time to help Kylo Ren turn to the Light; Rey suffers a terrifying vision on her way to Exegol...

Excerpt

Kylo Ren stood on the wreck of the Second Death Star, gazing at the ocean, watching the tide gradually recede. The ocean was calm now, but Kylo’s mind was in turmoil. He dwelled on Rey, and the events of their latest encounter. He thought of how she had lost herself to the Dark Side in that dilapidated throne room, that he had given her the final push. She had become a feral animal, hellbent on killing him. He got what he wanted— or what he thought he wanted— and it almost cost him his life. No. It was his attachment to her that clouded his judgment and almost cost him his life. He had her beaten, and his hesitation in delivering the final blow allowed her to take advantage and defeat him with the lightning he was still too weak in the Dark Side to call upon. The truth was that he loved her, and that truth was holding him back from reaching his true potential in the darkness. He thought he had surpassed Darth Vader, but he was mistaken. Love. Sentiment. It was the same weakness that ultimately killed his grandfather.  It was that weakness that Rey took advantage of to get close enough to fool him with a kiss and steal the Wayfinder from him. She betrayed him again, just as she always did, and he didn't even stop her from leaving. Weakness. Weakness! Now she was on her way to Exegol to end the Sith or even join them-- the state of mind she was in. Either way, his plans were in serious jeopardy. If she managed to kill Palpatine, the secrets of the Sith would be lost. If she joined Palpatine, then Palpatine would most certainly use her to take over the First Order and the rule of the Empire that Kylo Ren had so ruthlessly restored to its former glory. Damn her! He should have killed her when he had the chance. He should have— "Hey, kid." A voice said suddenly from behind him. Luke Skywalker appeared, limned in ghostly light, almost transparent. He looked different than the way Kylo remembered him last—older, his dark goatee a full beard and his hair longer and grayer. He wore light-colored Jedi robes instead of the black he favored before. Immediately, Kylo roared and ignited his lightsaber to attack, intent on ridding himself of his uncle once and for all. Only when he swung the red beam, it was immediately caught in Luke’s gloved hand. Impossible! He was dead.  But Luke was very real in front of him, a strength his uncle shouldn’t have been capable of pushing the red beam of his saber back toward him. “No! You’re dead!" Kylo shouted. "The Jedi are nothing more than ghosts!” “The Dark Side has failed you, Ben, just like it failed my father,” Luke said in an infuriatingly calm voice. “Your father was weak!" snapped Kylo. “His love for his family saved him. If only you'd let it save you," countered Luke. "But you've chosen hate instead." "I chose power!" hissed Kylo. “I am more powerful than any Skywalker ever was!” "And where has that power left you?" countered Luke. "Look around! You've lost. Let Kylo Ren die, Ben." "NO!" Kylo tried to wrest his lightsaber free of Luke’s impossible grip. But Luke’s grip remained firm. "Can't you see? The Force has brought you to the same place Darth Vader fell and Anakin Skywalker rose. Join him in the Light." "It's too late," Kylo gritted out through his bared teeth. It was something Snoke had always said. It’s too late for you. They’ll never take you back. "It's not too late," assured Luke. "There's always another path. Follow that path home, Ben."

His uncle’s bright blue eyes bore into his very soul. Instead of finding the hatred and judgment he expected, Kylo instead found love in them. Acceptance. Just like his father. Kylo stared at his uncle, afraid to believe his words. Afraid of the truth of what he was now feeling...

Lucy: "I for..."

Halfway between her "forfeit", Lucy suddenly raises her lightsaber and with a strike too quick to see it coming, disarms Finn.

Simon: "What? How? She was terrified up until this moment, yet suddenly sweeped the floor with her opponent?"

Josh: "I don't know the first thing about the Force, but this is impossible. It was immediately apparent that Finn was the better fighter, not just with a lightsaber, also in general combat experience."

Finn: "I can't believe you tricked me..."

Lucy: "Neither can I..."

Finn: "Then something's fishy here!"

North: "Lady Palpatine?"

Rey: "I have a suspicion what happened. You stay here and be there for Lucy. I'll go investigate."

North: "We're your guard, though."

Rey: "Against generic assasinations. I'm grateful that you keep my head free to focus on the big picture. And this is... really big."

And so, while Lucy officially moves up one tier in the tournament, Rey and Finn leave the square.

---

This came out of the blue. Lucy is fresh out of CAS, I only ever loaded her household to shoot the story scenes, never played them. She has zero Fitness skill points, whereas Finn has eight. So this is as baffling gamemechanicallywise as it is in-universe.

More of this ‘Ben and Rey are siblings au’

Rey goes to Luke on Ach-to. She hands him his lightsaber, his father’s lightsaber, unaware that she’s looking at her Uncle, holding something her Grandfather crafted when he was her age.

Luke takes it. He remembers his hand being cut off, and his father’s robotic voice telling him…. Luke wants to throw the lightsaber. He wants to clutch it tighter. He looks at the girl who gave it to him, a sunlight girl through a tinted window.

“Who are you?”

“No one.” Rey says. She believes it. “Just someone who needs your help.”

Luke blames himself for the death of his niece, his students, his fellow teachers, and the Fall of his nephew. He doesn’t want to return, and face his mistakes. Old age has made him a coward.

But he is still Luke Skywalker. He places his father’s lightsaber back in Rey’s hand, curling her finger over the hilt. He won’t leave, but he will teach.

Luke teaches her about the Force, and about Kylo Ren- about Ben.

“He’s deeper in the Dark side than Vader was, yet he’s not a Sith,” Luke tells her, three days into her stay on the unfindable planet. “My father couldn’t kill me, and that’s what help brought him back to the Light. Ben loved his sister more than anything, and he killed her so brutally that we couldn’t find her body.”

Rey listens, and learns, and trusts, but- she doesn’t believe that. She doesn’t know why.

(Meanwhile, General Leia Organa is running the Resistance, and helping Finn. He has the Force, but he’s more comfortable with a blaster than a saber. Leia understands that. There is no Resistance falling apart, and no tracking device.)

Rey is on Ach-to for a week. She leaves on day eight, and Luke comes with her.

When they get to the Resistance base, the First Order is there. There is no tracking device, but there with always be betrayal in the world, always someone selling someone else out.

Luke fights Kylo. Kylo cuts the hilt of his Uncle’s lightsaber, and prepares to cut off his head, when Rey stops him, Anakin and Luke’s blue saber connecting with Kylo’s red.

“I won’t let you.” She says, before charging.

“He doesn’t know you!” Kylo yells over the crackling of their lightsabers. “Han didn’t know you, Leia didn’t know you! I know you!”

“You don’t know me! You don’t know anything, besides being a monster!”

“I know who you are. Breha.”

And here Rey stumbles. She doesn’t remember but she knows.

“Ben.”

“No,” Luke breathes, aghast.

She knows. The simple word- her name- has unlocked something, Kylo’s words opening memories with the Force. She knows her parents. She knows her uncles.

She knows her brother.

“Forget them.” Kylo says, lowering his lightsaber. “They have done nothing for you. They stopped caring for you, they didn’t want you, they didn’t look for you.” He grabs his sister by the wrist, forcing her to lower her own lightsaber. “I kept you safe, Breha. I protected you. Help me defeat Snoke, and we can rule the galaxy.”

“No,” Rey can’t see, tears in her eyes. But she knows better than to waste water. She blinks them away. “You took me, and left me. You killed Han. You killed our father.”

“He doesn’t matter. Help me, Breha.”

“Come back home, Ben. We can go come back home.”

“It’s too late for me, Breha. You know this.”

“You saved save me, let me save you.”

“I don’t need saving, Breha.”

“My name is Rey.”

This is not the condemnation Ben takes it as. She means it as the name he made her get when he left her. He takes it as a rejection, as his sister denying him as her home. He gets angry.

“Then you’re against me, Rey.”

Still gripping her wrist, Kylo swings his lightsaber at his little sister.

Rey brings her lightsaber up in one swift motion, cutting the hand that’s gripping her wrist. It falls to the ground, and Kylo screams.

Finn and Poe come, and help evacuate Luke and Rey with the rest of the Resistance.

The first thing Leia does when she sees Luke and Rey, is hug her brother. Luke kisses her forehead, and apologizes.

“You’re here now, that’s what matters.” Leia cups her brother’s face. Even though they’re twins, and Obi-wan refuses to tell them who was born first, Luke will always be her younger brother.

“No.” Luke shakes his head. “That’s not what I’m apologizing for.” He escapes his sister’s embrace, and instead holds Rey shoulder. Rey looks at Leia-her mother- with wide eyes.

“Rey?” Leia asks, touching her arm gently. “What’s wrong?”

Luke and Rey look at each other, each asking if the other would like to tell her what they just learned.

“I fought Kylo Ren. And he told me my name. I think I always knew it. I just…didn’t know I knew. Something was stopping me. He was stopping me, until he needed me.”

She hasn’t said it, but Leia knows. Of course, of course.

“Breha.”

“Mom.”

Mother and daughter hug for the first time in 12 years, fully knowing who the other is.

Kylo Ren is taken back to the First Order, and fitted with a prosthetic hand. Breha may have forsaken him, but he knows what the Dark Side of the Force is telling him. His sister is his; only he can care, protect, and train her. Her time has come.

Kylo kills Snoke, and takes his throne.

CONGRATS ON ONE YEAR 🥂 ✨ These are all over the place, so please don’t feel obligated to answer all of them.

Is there a specific theme, plot, or concept that keeps swimming in your head, but you have yet to write?

Is there a canon character that you think fandom takes for granted or underestimates? 

And the cliche Star Wars question - what is your lightsaber color?

Thank you SM!!! Love the new pfp, btw.

I will answer all of them because this is fun and I enjoy receiving asks from everyone!

Is there a specific theme, plot, or concept that keeps swimming in your head, but you have yet to write?

There are two.

One is a modern gods/mythology mystery-adventure told from the point of view of a mythological monster, like a gorgon or cyclops or siren or centaur or werewolf. There would be ancient pantheons and modern pantheons, but which is relevant to a society would be entirely dependent on that society's values.

The second is inspired by the concept of liminality. It's a story about a minimum wage worker; a dishwasher for a mom-n-pop restaurant in The American City™️ as well as a caterer for a different company. The majority of their life's story takes place in empty spaces. Empty apartments despite living with 4 roommates because they're all working all the time. Empty laundromats. Empty alleys. Empty parking lots. Empty aisles. Empty bus stops. Empty streets. Places where the earth pops through the cracks; where the weeds have taken over but there is no life. There is no life in the buildings and there is no life in the people, except in the background. In the background there are warm dining rooms and busy kitchens and houses with lights. I felt that a story about physical emptiness would be able to convey loneliness and dilapidation very well.

I also felt it would convey the myth of the "American Dream" really well. The lack of upward mobility is physically represented in what the main character lacks access to- spaces full of life- as well as such things as living in a basement apartments but walk up the stairs into the house of the wealthy people you work for.

I was inspired by the art of John Register, the liminal nature of the start and end of pandemic life, my own background as a minimum wage worker in the service industry living with three roommates to make ends meet, and the beauty in visual storytelling that is Parasite.

Is there a canon character that you think fandom takes for granted or underestimates?

Hmm 🤔.

I'm going to go with Finn. Finn because the character got pushed to the side in the narrative, so fans often push him aside as well. I feel he has a lot of potential as a person and a lot of skills we never had the opportunity to see as well as a backstory that never had the privilege of being told.

And the cliche Star Wars question - what is your lightsaber color?

Either blue or yellow just because I think they're nice colors.

Chapter Summary

Emperor Palpatine makes Rey an offer to join the Sith on Exegol. Meanwhile, the Skywalker arrives on Coruscant to help Finn’s army of Coruscant citizens and rebelling stormtroopers to begin their attack on the First Order Capitol...

Excerpt

Rey stepped beneath a massive monolith that seemed to hover in the air. She startled a bit when the section of floor she stood on detached from the rest, began to descend. She looked around, alert to any sight or sound, but all was as silent as death. Then a rumble sounded, too distant to identify. The lift settled, and Rey stepped off. She raised her weapon, and its blue light snagged on huge stone faces, sparking with electricity. She knew, without knowing how she knew, that the statues commemorated Sith Lords who had come before. This place of evil must have been here for centuries, maybe millennia, for the air was heavy with the weight of time and dark secrets. Rey was suddenly aware that she was not alone. Figures scurried in the shadows, but she sensed no immediate threat from them, so she continued on. A few more steps took her past a dizzying array of lab equipment—monitors, tubes, some kind of tank, all empty and abandoned. Just like the planet’s surface, the floor here contained fissures, and light flashed deep down—Rey couldn’t tell how deep—as though Exegol’s entire crust had formed around a core of electricity. She came to a narrow stone corridor, and her gaze was pulled forward. A chill pimpled the flesh of her arms, because resting upon a dais was the shape from her visions. A chair with spikes curving up and around it, like a halo of giant thorns. The throne of the Sith. Rey found herself inexorably drawn to the throne, and stepped toward the dais. The rumble grew louder. The corridor broke open into an an amphitheater as big as a hollowed-out mountain, brimming with robed figures. There were thousands of them, faceless in the dark distance, but pulsing with zealotry. Religious disciples, awaiting the return of the Sith. The Sith Eternal. As she approached, the rumbling shifted and became a hiss, like an oversized serpent ready to strike. "Welcome to Exegol, young Rey..." came a voice from her nightmares, deep, resonant, and slow, as though he had all the time in the galaxy. Rey turned toward the dark voice. A robed figure materialized, suspended from strange machinery. Rey's grip on the lightsaber tightened when she saw his face. He was a ghastly sight, with red-rimmed eyes, his skin barely clinging to his skeletal form, the flesh disintegrating into oozing sores. One of his hands had even half rotted away. It was the Emperor. Darth Sidious. Palpatine, his spirit trapped in an artificial form, his power too devastating to contain. "I have been watching your journey for my Wayfinder with great interest..." he continued, the weight of his voice thundering in Rey's skull. "Perhaps I was mistaken in attempting for your life..." The ghoul was repulsive, but Rey's feet twitched toward him. She could not look away. There was something terrifyingly compelling about him. "You... are drawn to the throne... aren't you, child?" asked Palpatine like a kindly grandfather, gesturing over to the Sith throne. "The Dark Side calls to you... a fine Sith you would make..." She forced herself to sound strong, to back away from the Emperor. “I haven’t come to join the Sith. I've come to end them." Several figures stepped forward, draped in crimson, similar to Snoke’s Praetorian Guard, which she and Kylo had defeated together. Rey had a feeling these guards would prove more formidable adversaries. “As a Jedi?” the Emperor said, his voice oozing contempt like the sores on his skin. Rey snarled defiantly at him. "Yes!" “I sense your hatred... your anger. Qualities of a Sith," Palpatine smiled. Rey tried to deny it, but he saw right through her. It was written all over her face. "You want to kill me. That is what I want! Kill me and my spirit will pass into you, as all the Sith live in me. We will be one!" The cultists roared their approval...

Chapter 15: Two Teams, One Base

Varax had a hunch that Aliana liked Rey. You don’t need to be a space wizard to know that. But he figured that they would be good for each other. Much to Leia’s dismay. “Great, now on top of a retired Jedi Master and a hotshot pilot I now have to look over a Sith Lord with a Romeo complex” she says to Rey and Aliana after they tell the crew on the Falcon the news. Aliana gives Leia a look of disappointment “Nooooo not the Romeooooo” she says as she covers her face in her hands with a groan. Han and Chewie are laughing next to Leia and Varax even gets a good chuckle out before Leia tells them to stop being jackasses. 

“Regardless we still need to figure out a way to destroy the First Order’s superweapon: Starkiller Base” she says as she clears her throat. Finn stands up and points to a large tower on the planet’s surface “That tower leads directly into the planet's shield generator” Finn explains showing a red path to the inner crust of the former planet Ilum. “If we can plant some explosives on the generators below, it could disable their shields long enough for a bombing squad to finish it off” Finn adds as he crosses his arms. 

Han looks up at Finn with a grin “I’ll get you there, and I think Leia can scrounge up some bombs for us, but what about Kylo Ren?” Han says as he scratches his short, gray beard. “I’ll keep Ren preoccupied, I can lead him away long enough for you guys to plant the bombs” Varax says, putting his hands behind his head. Han and the others give him a look of uncertainty “You sure Varax? Kylo is-” Han attempts to say before Varax cuts him off “I’ve dealt with Kylo’s type before, sure he has power, but he can’t use it worth a damn” he says, almost deasing the Dark Jedi.

“Then it’s settled. Rey, Aliana, and Varax will lead Kylo away from the generators while Han, Chewbacca and Finn will plant the charges so Poe and Black Squadron can bombard the base.” Leia says as she stands up to leave. Everyone nods in agreement, understanding their roles in the mission at hand.

Varax walks out to get some air, he unclips his lightsaber from his belt and looks at it. “We were peacekeepers…” he says in his mind before re-clipping the lightsaber to his belt as he boards the Fury for takeoff. While on board he notices Rey and Aliana talking in the cockpit. They notice him and he gives them a gentle smile under his black goatee beard as he heads to the workshop to do a check on his saber “Lemme know when we get there!” He says as he shuts the door behind him. The Fury and Falcon take off and charter a course for the First Order’s front door.

Chapter 16: Darth Greaseball & Captain Chrome Dome

Varax has a fond memory of building his lightsaber. He remembers it originally being a regular single bladed saber. But as time grew on, Varax made more and more modifications to the saber, in hopes of perfecting the blade to be the best ever made. But thanks to his OCD, that likely will never happen. Varax sits back and observes his work, seeing the blade's cyan-blue Kyber crystal sitting in its chamber, glowing an almost white hue inside the dark workshop before Varax repairs the blade and heads out.

“Almost to Ilum, have a seat Varax” Aliana says, using the force to move a chair in the cockpit as the Fury and Falcon begin to exit hyperspace. “I haven’t been here in years, it almost feels like I’m a padawan in Luke’s Jedi Order again… Almost” Varax says solemnly as the land on a clearing in the middle of a forest. 

“Alright, let's distract Darth Greaseball” Varax says as he gets up from his seat. Aliana laughs at the insult for Kylo Ren “DARTH GREASEBALL HAH!!!” she exclaims, almost falling out of her pilot seat from laughing before Rey catches her. They both share a stare before looking up at Varax who's already off ship. Varax pulls out his binoculars and inspects the area, noticing the large, canyon-like gashes carved into Ilum’s crust. 

Meanwhile, Finn, Han, and Chewbacca are wandering the maze like hallways of the Maintenance Sector. Trying their best to find the shield reactors. “C’mon kid, where is this thing, didn’t you say you knew where it was?” Han says, almost out of breath. Chewbacca gives out a supportive grunt as Finn looks around. “Yeah well it is a big sector and sorry that I had to interrupt your nap time old man but we’ve gotta galaxy to save” Finn says, teasing Han for being old. Han gives off a chuckle “Hey with age comes experience Buckethead” he says, punching Finn’s arm before Finn pulls him and Chewie against the wall as a group of Stormtroopers walk past.

“I’ve got a bad feeling about this kid” Han says as he looks over Finn’s shoulder to check for guards. They walk out before seeing Captain Phasma walk right in front of them. Chewie grabs the silver Stormtrooper and pins her against the wall. Finn points his rifle at her silver helmet “Where’s the shield generator Phasma?” he says, finger on the trigger and ready to shoot. Phasma looks at the trio for a moment, “Down the hall to your right, can’t miss it” she says with a grunt. The trio look at each other, Han giving Chewbacca a nod as the Wookie drops Phasma into a trash compactor, much to Finn’s amusement. “Always wanted to do that” Han says as they head to the generator.

Chapter 17: A Scavenger, A Sith, and A Jedi

Varax, Rey and Aliana make their way through the rough terrain of the planet before coming up to a huge gathering of Stormtroopers. A massive speech is being held and led by General Hux with a hologram of Supreme Leader Snoke behind him, towering over his troops and officers. Varax looks at his companions and looks above, noticing a Dreadnaught overhead before hatching an idea. “Aliana I have an idea, if we can pull that Dreadnaught down into the cavern, the weapon may not fully fire” he says, pointing at the warship out in the atmosphere. Aliana looked at the Jedi like he was crazy. “I can’t move that thing, it's too big!!!” she says. 

“Only in your mind is it massive” Varax explains to Aliana. Aliana lets out a sigh “I guess it won’t hurt to try” she says before Varax cuts her off “No, do or do not, there is no try” Varax says, parroting the words of a wise old master he once had. “What does that even mean?!?!” Aliana says confusingly. “Uhhh, okay that might’ve been a bad example” Varax says, unsure what the small green Jedi meant when he enlightened Varax with that proverb “Master Yoda said it a lot though” he says sheepishly. 

Aliana rolls her eyes and outstretches her hand, Varax following after as the two pull the Dreadnaught into the atmosphere as it crashes down into the chasm behind them. Rey watches in awe at the feat, never thinking anyone Jedi, Sith, or otherwise could do such a thing. 

As the ship crashes into the canyon a beam of red energy is fired but quickly disperses as the Stormtroopers look around confused. Hux looks at the hologram of the Supreme Leader which disappears shortly after. The trio head inside the base and try to find a spot to contact Finn and the others. “That was awesome!!! You guys dragged that thing right into the planet’s crust!! How’d you do it?” Rey says and asks as they run through the halls.

Varax looks back at her “A trick I picked up from a Jedi named Galen Marek” he says, partially out of breath, “It tires you out pretty quick but it works!” he adds as they turn a corner to see Finn Han and Chewbacca on a lower floor planting the bombs. However they also see a squad of Stromtroopers rain fire down on them “Let’s give them some backup” Varax says as he throws back his black cloak and drops down to the troopers below, igniting his saber as he cuts the soldiers down. Aliana follows short and gets in on the carnage, Rey follows last and shoots a couple with her blaster.

Chapter 18: So Long Sweet Smuggler

As the fighting dies down, Han looks out across the nearby bridge and sees Kylo walking toward him. Han steps onto the bridge as the others deal with the troops. “BEN!!” He yells through the empty, black abyss stopping Kylo in his tracks. The Dark Jedi looks at the smuggler “Move aside old man, or die”. Han tosses his blaster behind him “Take off the mask son, I wanna see your face” he says. Kylo sits for a moment before removing his mask, dropping it onto the bridge in front of him. 

Varax quickly realizes what Han’s about to do “no,no,no,no,no” he says softly before calling out to Han “NO YOU DAMN FOOL DON’T DO IT!!!” Varax yells. Rey and the others look on in fear as Han approaches his son. Han looks at Varax and gives a salute as he crosses the bridge. “You’re not a monster Ben, come home, to your family” Han says to the Dark Jedi as he steps closer to his son.

Kylo walks up to his father, a brief flash of hope flies through him before he kills it. “I’m sorry dad” Kylo says flatly, before impaling him through the chest with his lightsaber “but the First Order is my family now” he adds, kicking his father into the white abyss below him.

“NO!!!” Rey and Varax say, as Finn and Aliana stand in shock. Chewbacca lets out a mighty roar as he blasts Kylo’s stomach with his Bow Blaster. Kylo keels over from the pain as he looks back at the Wookie, who roars at Kylo in anger before ramming through a group of Stormtroopers. 

“C’mon Rey we have to go!” Aliana says as she grabs Rey’s arm before she shoots Kylo across the face with her blaster pistol. Varax uses the Force to grab Han’s blaster as the five of them race back to their ship. On the way there Chewbacca detonates the shields as a cover to keep Ren off their back.

The five of them run through the forest before hearing Kylo call out to them. He looks at Finn “TRAITOR!!!” he yells at the former stormtrooper. Finn tries to shoot Kylo but the Dark Jedi freezes the bolts mid air and returns them back to Finn aiming right at his torso. As Finn falls to the ground, Rey grabs Aliana’s lightsaber and ignites it. Kylo Ren looks at her with a snarl “You’re nothing, desert trash! I come from the most powerful family in the galaxy. And you are a nobody” he says, poking at Rey

Rey looks at Kylo in rage, “I’m gonna make you hurt you greasy fuck!”

Chapter 19: The Wrath Of Irus

Rey screams as she charges Kylo and swings Aliana’s lightsaber like a crazed lunatic, Kylo hardly being able to keep up with her absurd speed and power as she locks in both their sabers and punches Kylo’s side, still raw from his wound from Chewbacca. Kylo coughs up a mouthful of blood as Rey disconnects the saber and starts smacking her saber against Kylo’s like a club, still screaming out her anger and rage.

Meanwhile, Aliana and Varax struggle to get Finn to 2V so he can fix his wounds. The two look back at Rey as she fights the Dark Jedi “She’ll be fine” Varax tells Aliana “Anger is the best tool in a fight, in some cultures she’d be worshiped as a queen” he says. Aliana gives Varax a look of concern “Yeah… not a good time” he says as they lay Finn down onto the operating table on the Fury.

Back in the forest, Kylo is trying his best to hold his own against Rey, who’s practically chasing him through the woods as she slices Aliana’s lightsabers through the trees trying to kill the Dark Jedi. “he was YOUR FATHER he CARED about YOU and YOU KILLED HIM IN COLD BLOOD!!!” she yells, her voice echoing through the treetops like a bestail howl. She eventually catches Kylo off guard and cuts through his blade, gashing the middle of his face as he collapses to the ground.

Before Rey could finish the job however, she’s pulled back to the Fury by the force. She looks up and sees Varax before he grabs her arm and pulls her into the ship as they take off. He pushes her onto the couch, a look of anger painted all over his face “WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU” he yells, his voice echoing through the ship. Rey tries to speak but Varax cuts her off “YOU COULD’VE JEOPARDIZED THIS ENTIRE MISSION AND ENDANGERED THE LIVES OF EVERYONE”. Rey looks down, realizing she's still holding Aliana’s lightsaber, she holds it up to the Sith “Sorry for taking it, I should’ve known better” she says, almost in a whisper as she gets up and heads to her room. Aliana looks at the blade, a few drops of Kylo’s blood sprinkled across the emitter. “I’ll go talk to her, maybe try to cheer her up, also THAT was uncalled for Varax” she says as she follows Rey to her room.

Varax sits in the living room, looks at the blade in his hands, and sighs. Before heading to bed.

(Final Part Coming Soon)

[enkisstories]

In front of the cantina Poe Dameron and his friends waited for Gavin Dree. He emerged accompanied by his longtime friend, Tina.

The situation was tense as if a battle was at hand, and in a way that was the case. For Poe and Gavin had agreed that the loser of their match in the lightsaber tournament they were about to participate in would have to shave.

Gavin: "Inbefore anybody complains that as a force sensitive I have an edge over Dameron... That's only true on a superficial level."

Gavin: "My talent is rather minor, I can only access the Force while holding my bonded blue kyber crystal. The green one here was originally gifted to me by Tina."

Gavin: "I can't feel the blade the green crystal generates in the Force, and neither can I force jump while holding the saber in this configuration.

That puts me on the same level as Dameron: A flashlight duel."

Gavin: "Fair, right?"

Finn: "You think we don't understand what you're saying here? All this talk about fairness screams in a second voice "Hey, look here, I'm going to beat your friend with my lesser crystal". Like bragging to beat someone up with one hand tied behind your back."

Gavin: "Isn't it nice to understand each other?"

Finn: "I understand he was a First Order propaganda officer or something like that before he defected. Can you PLEASE take him back, Armitage?"

Armitage: "No, sorry, no deal. Just look at his crystal color - it's not red. Not even the Dark Side wanted that dipshit and that's saying a lot, seeing that it wanted even Ben."
