Eternal Emperor Vader au

Imagine that Darth Vader and Luke worked together to kill Palpatine like Rey and Kylo did.

Vader cements himself in the dark side by killing his master. Luke and Vader declares a peace that would last as long as one did not attack the other. The Empire regrouped and retreated into the Unknown Regions under Vader's leadership, while The New Republic is born.

The New Republic was born and began to heal the galaxy. Luke's new Jedi Order was founded. Mon Mothma as the Chancellor with Leia as Vice Chair. Han and Lando are the Ministers of Defense and Chewbacca is Ambassador to Kashyyyk. The New Republic did not demilitarize their fleet. They instead build and improve their fleet and build Star Defenders to combat the Star Destroyers. To defend their systems, fight the criminal syndicates and prepare for the eventual upcoming war with Emperor Vader.

The Empire is rebuilding it's strength after the defeat at Endor. Thrawn, Gideon, General Veers and Sloane are Vader's inner circle. Vader killed Rax the moment he learned of Palpatine's contingency plans. Vader found Galen Marek and turned him into his apprentice, his Starkiller, the final Inquisitor. Eventually Vader found Exegol. Killed Palpatine and took the Final Order's Sith Fleet for himself. Anyone and everyone loyal to Palpatine is dead. The Empire has become The New Sith Empire. On Exegol, the SIth Temple was reopened, similar to how The First Order abducted children for the new Sith Order.

The Sith have begun to infiltrate the New Republic which begins a cold war between the Sith and the New Republic. Then one day, the day that destroys everything Leia has built. The revelation that Darth Vader is Leia's father. Leia is shunned from The New Republic and this very event is what tips the balance to making this cold war hot.

Ben Solo's betrayal. Ben feels betrayed. All his life he was told the good man that his grandfather was. Hero of the Republic and Jedi Knight of the Jedi Council and that he died sacrificing his life to save the Jedi from The Emperor. He was lied to and he was consumed by rage and betrayal. Luke attempts to stop Ben's anger, but Ben attacks him and leaves him for dead. He gathers his 6 best friends and together they kill the New Jedi Order and venture to find Emperor Vader.

Ben Solo and his fellow Jedi become Kylo Ren and the Knights Of Ren and Vader's Elite Sith Warriors.

Luke flees to Ach-To. He has failed. The war that he was dreading is here and he has himself to blame for not telling Ben the truth.

Out of guilt and shame for failing his son. Han leaves to be a smuggler again. Hoping one day he can make things right with Leia and bring their son home.

Leia lost her son, her father has returned to wage war on her and destroy everything she has worked so hard to build, her brother went into hiding and Han left. Leia has no choice but to lead The Resistance.

Same things that happen in canon happens, but differently

Finn is abducted by The Sith Empire, but not by Phasma. By Iden Versio. Because Operation Cinder never happened, Iden never defects. Iden becomes what Phasma became, only she's a die hard believer and Finn and his squadron is the next generation of Inferno Squad

Poe Dameron is the son of Rebel heroes and is NOT a drug smuggler(fuck you JJ) he is taught by his father.

Rey is left on Jakku, but not because it was done to protect her by junk traders. It was done because her parents were scum. Her father was rejected by Palpatine and left to die and marooned on Jakku. They had Rey, but had nothing. They saw no value in Rey and sold her so they can get off of Jakku. Rey in a fit of rage kills them with the dark side. The trauma of it cuts Rey off from the force and represses the memory.

Paige Tico is the Y-Wing Bomber in Poe's Squadron and Rose Tico is the Intelligence Officer in The New Republic

Kylo Ren, Julian Veers(Veers' son replacing Hux) and Iden Versio are this version of the First Order's Triumvirate

Kylo Ren and Starkiller are at war with each other, each covet the throne from Vader and all they are waiting for is one sign of weakness and they will kill each other for to become Vader's heir.

However there is one thing that could turn the Empire against Vader. A cult of Palpatine loyalists lead by Snoke escaped Exegol and have one mission. Find the true Emperor's granddaughter. Train her and help her become the Empress and destroy the Skywalkers and bring a new age of darkness to the galaxy.

Or can the heirs of Vader and Palpatine come together and bring balance to the force and end this war and the eternal struggle between light and darkness?

I'd say Episode VII is about Vader's return and the beginnings of the war, bringing Han and Leia together, Han's death at the hands of his son, Rey/Finn vs Kylo, but ending with Finn finding Luke. What about Rey? After defeating Kylo Ren. She heard a voice. "Come find me Rey and find your belonging and your rightful place in this galaxy" Rey went to Snoke, while Chewey saved

Episode VIII. Allout war. After the destruction of Hosnian Prime, The New Republic joined forces with The Resistance and declared war on The Sith Empire. The connection between Rey and Ben is formed. But this gains the attentions of Starkiller. Starkiller saw the weakness in Kylo after his defeat at the hands of the scavenger, but now his sentiment just gives him the need to kill Kylo Ren once and for all. Poe and Paige are on the frontlines. Rose works with Leia to discover a way to disable the Xyston Class Star Destroyer lasers in order to prevent as much destruction as possible. Finn is able to pull Luke out of his exile. How? You see, Finn is Luke's son. The Sith Eternal abducted Finn before Luke and Mara could act. The abduction of Finn and the revelation of Vader being Anakin being revealed galaxy wide is what left Luke open to Ben's betrayal. Now that Finn is here, Luke knows he has to make this right. He spends the rest of the movie training Finn. Rey finds her way to Snoke. Snoke reveals the truth to Rey and this shakes her to her very core. One thing that Leia did not count on. Vader has arrived. He boards her ship like he did so long ago. She allows Rose to escape, while she confronts her father. Vader gives her a chance to surrender and join the dark side, it's the only way she can see her son. Leia takes her Lightsaber "I'm a Jedi, like my father once was" "So be it. Jedi" and so we get Vader vs Leia, while Rose enacts the plan to destroy the Xyston-Class fleet. Think the Mass Shadow Generator from KOTOR II, that is EXACTLY what Rose does. Kylo Ren and Starkiller fights in Fortress Vader. while Rey fights Snoke. Kylo Ren kills Starkiller to assume his place at Vader's side. Rey kills Snoke to free herself, she thought she was free until she hears a sinister voice. "You done well, my granddaughter." Meanwhile In the fight between Vader and Leia. Leia proclaims that she knew he was a good man, that her mother loved him, but that man is dead and all that's left is Vader. Vader aims to kill her and Leia gives herself to the force like Obi-Wan. Luke and Finn comes to the rescue and the New Republic rallies behind them. Vader and Luke have a staredown. Finn meets Rose, Rose is in awe of Finn, but Finn is just as in awe in Rose after Poe told her what she did, they congratulate each other and shook hands, a sure sign of friendship and something more. Finn feels distraught. They saved everyone, but they lost Leia and Rey is still missing. Luke tells his son "we have everything we need"

Episode IX. The battle of Coruscant. Stormtrooper Rebellion and the fate of the galaxy. Luke vs Vader. Rey vs Kylo vs Finn. Finn, Poe and Rose work together to stir up a Stormtrooper Rebellion. Finn faces Iden. When Iden has Finn down where she wants, Rose shoots her and Finn cuts her down with the lightsaber. Together Finn and Rose free his brothers and sisters. Ben has conflict. Despite everything he's done, his mother's death changed everything. She lied to him, but he still loved her. He thought his true place was by Vader's side, but this bond with Rey helped show that it's not too late that he can still come back. But Rey changed, she shut him out completely. Ben goes to Finn. Finn is defensive, but senses this is not the same man he fought on Starkiller Base. The final battle between the New Republic and the Sith Empire takes place over and on Coruscant. Luke faces Vader, while Rey and Ben face Empress Rey. Killing Leia changed Vader. a light he never thought possible was there. Luke tells his father it's not too late. No one's ever really gone. For once in his life. Vader shows remorse. Then suddenly force lightning. Empress Rey seeks to finish off Luke and Vader. Ben and Finn are there to try and reach the real Rey. For a brief moment, Anakin Skywalker returns. He takes the essence of Palpatine within him and tells everyone to end it once and for all. Rey, Finn and Ben kill Vader and Palpatine, ending the war once and for all. The movie ends with Lando as Chancellor and signing a peace treaty with Thrawn and Sloane. Finn and Rose get married, Luke rebuilds the Jedi Order. While both Ben and Rey go on a path of atonement to right their wrongs and a ends on a kiss in the Falcon.

I SAID D E F E N D T H E B A S E.

Rose adds to the story by putting another human face on what the First Order does to the galaxy.

The new extended canon has done an excellent job of detailing the devastation that the Empire and now the First Order has done in the galaxy by subjugating and destroying worlds, bleeding them of resources, exploiting their people, and discarding them when they're finished.

Rose and Paige Tico bring that story to the cinematic universe and Rose specifically points it out as the disease beneath the opulence of Canto Bight as well as telling her own story. And it is significant that this story is told by a Vietnamese actor.

She is also the purest example we have so far of a truly ordinary person who becomes a hero.

Rey may be from humble origins, but she's an insanely powerful Force sensitive. Finn has trained for combat his entire life and is a gifted strategist. Poe is the son of war heroes. She's not a crack shot and ace pilot like Han. Not a princess, not a scion of a literal child of the Force.

She's just a person who stepped up when it was time to step up and I love her.

*looks at all the "fans" who spent time wanking about what they hated instead of focusing on what they loved*

Fuck you

[unbreykmyheart]

Welp... I saw this gem on FB. This is sickening. They should be banned from watching any further Star Wars movies. They're not fans. They're contrarians and assholes.

[onceinabluemoon13]

If people could stop willfully misinterpreting Rose’s character and story arc in their attempts to “show how awful Rian treated her”, that would be great.

[cardigan-vixen]

HEY ANTIS IN THE FUCKING ROSE TICO/KELLY MARIE TRAN TAG SAYING ‘UWU YOU ALL DEFENDED ADAM DRIVER AND NOT KELLY YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM UWU’

Please take your fucking negativity OUT OF THE FUCKING UNIVERSE. 

Don’t you understand that what you are doing is NOT helping? Ok sure you aren’t being a racist, misogynist bigot faced whale penis but you are being a salty ass bitch and bringing ship wars and character wars in to a subject THAT SHOULD BE ABOUT HOW KELLY MARIE TRAN DESERVES NONE OF YOUR VITRIOL FOR DOING HER JOB IN A BEAUTIFUL UNICORN LIKE FASHION.  

I CAN DEFEND EVERYONE. EVERYONE THAT DESERVES DEFENDING. BECAUSE NO ONE DESERVES TO BE DENIGRATED FOR FUCKING PLAYING MAKE BELIEVE. 

JOHN BOYEGA GETS A DEFENSE, AND DAISY RIDLEY GETS ONE AND KELLY MARIE, AND ADAM DRIVER, AND RIAN JOHNSON AND THE GUY THAT PUPPETS BB-FUCKING-8. 

Star Wars fans can’t even unite to be POSITIVE ABOUT SOMEONE. WHAT IN THE FUCKING CHRISTMAS CHRIST. 

Sorry for all the yelling. 

WAIT NO I’M NOT - FUCK OFF.

It was bad enough people were attacking Rose tasering Finn, but now she is being attacked for tasering and reporting deserters. 

I have no words. Desertion is an awful crime and it is selfish. You are needed in the situation. Your job is to stop the people behind you from getting killed. 

If you are a soldier, you have a job to do. Millions of dollars has been invested in your training. You have been provided with food, shelter and resources. You do not get to spit in people’s faces by deserting in a moment of crisis. If you can’t handle a moment of panic, then maybe, I dunno- don’t join the Resistance in the first place?

Also, if you start to allow desertion... and you only have four escape pods... could you see the problems that could create?

Rose absolutely did the right thing by tasering deserters. It’s what happens during wartime, you know.

[muffin-n-waffle]

honestly ive just come to accept the fact that ill usually always end up adoring the characters that other people deem unnecessary, worthless, unneeded, etc.... they usually always tend to have a quiet sense of strength that i adore. i see it, i feel it, and it tells me that ordinary people like me can be just as extraordinary 

[kantobite]

the antis on my dash gearing up to write their “rose tico deserved better characterization :( this is why tlj is cancelled” thinkposts which are actually thinly-veiled attacks on rian johnson and/or even rose tico herself: *tents fingers*

the mvps in the rose tico defense squad: not so fast

[soyeahso]

Also there's just a huge difference between being critical of a character, and reaching for the stars to call a character abusive and manipulative because she gets in the way of your ship. Rose has the misfortune of being in the way of two ships and it's very clear when the "criticism" of her is manufactured.

[trickstersmagic]

Me when seeing these anti Rose posts on my dash:

Best comment/thread goes to:

[onceinabluemoon13]

“Rose Tico was a pointless character who contributed nothing to the Star Wars universe.”

Okay, but did you miss the part where she inspired the next generation of the Rebellion? Or when she uttered probably the most important line in the entire movie? The line that is probably going to be the basis for Episode IX? Or when she saved Finn’s life?

Like, what else does she have to do to be considered important?
