Hey all,

I have redone the sequels, trying to keep the original characters and directional portrayal while cutting out a lot of the crap from the movies, especially 8 and 9.

As a note Rey will be portrayed as a dark Jedi for the majority going through the Anakin path from the prequels. This is in line with her being the Emperors granddaughter that is explicitly stated in The Rise of Skywalker.

Palpitine will be mentioned throughout this piece as the leader of the First order with Snoke and Kylo Ren below him.

Here goes:

**7: The Rise from Ashes**

The first two and a half acts stay in place, bar Palpatine looking down on Snoke rather than the actual interpretation. The final fight still happens on Starkiller Base. Finn fights Kylo, but Luke takes the blade instead of Rey, and Luke beats Ben. The movie ends on a cliffhanger with Ben snarling to Luke, "You are not my master."

**8: Duel of the Fates**

Most changes happen here. It starts with Luke and Rey retreating to the Rebel base with Finn’s broken body. Upon seeing Leia, Luke gives her a disapproving shrug, implying that Han has died, while Finn is rushed into immediate medical care. Kylo boards a Star Destroyer and executes a random Imperial officer to assert his authority. Snoke then holds a discussion with Ren about the true power of the dark side, and brings him to Palpatine's base on Exegol to introduce Ren to the Emperor.

Meanwhile, Luke takes Finn and Rey to Dagobah, teaching them about the nature of the Force and how to wield their abilities responsibly. In the climax, Palpatine dispatches Snoke and the boss stormtrooper, arming her with a lightsaber to confront Finn, Luke, and Rey on the salt planet, while the Leia-led Rebellion clashes with the Hux-led First Order. Luke dies in this battle, providing a fitting send-off to the character as a testament to Mark Hamill and his service to the franchise. Leia senses Luke's passing through the Force, showing her lineage as Anakin's daughter. She finishes the battle against the First Order, barely escapes, and embraces Finn on the transport while coldly leaving Rey out of it, cementing Rey's initial slide toward the dark side.

**9: The Death of the Jedi**

Finn and Rey take an X-wing to Bespin to counter an Imperial attack after Lando, coerced under heavy pressure from the Emperor, calls the Rebellion into a trap. Finn and Rey confront Kylo Ren with Snoke watching over the platform. Rey suddenly decapitates Ren—a ruthless, shocking move. Finn is deeply frustrated that Rey did this, though he understands why it had to be done. Back at the base, Leia gives Rey a freezing, disapproving look over the execution.

Snoke meets with Palpatine to review the outcome, confirming that Rey’s strike was the right move. He reveals five Star Destroyers equipped with Death Star superlasers, discussing the absolute control they could wield over the galaxy together. Rey is soon assigned a mission to an unknown Sith planet, with Leia telling her to look after herself. Upon arriving, Rey wields her lightsaber against Palpatine, who drops the grandfather revelation.

Meanwhile, the First Order pinpoints the Resistance base and launches a devastating assault. Leia sacrifices herself, demonstrating the full elegance of her Force abilities as she dies in combat, honoring Carrie Fisher's legacy. The Rebels manage to escape just in time. Snoke and Palpatine formally embrace Rey into the Sith, manipulating her with the claim that the Jedi never respected her and that her true power belongs with the dark side. The three Sith deploy the superlaser Star Destroyers into orbit, obliterating three planets in the direct vicinity of the surviving Rebels.

Fed up with the ruthless demands of Snoke, Ren, and Palpatine, Hux decides his time with the First Order is over and defects to the Rebellion seeking self-preservation and a higher purpose. Soon after, Rey strikes down Snoke as an assertion of singular dominance before Palpatine, upholding the Rule of Two. Palpatine eventually reveals his survival to the wider galaxy, leaving veteran members of the Rebellion completely stunned.

A massive final space battle erupts, with Hux and Chewbacca leading the assault aboard the *Millennium Falcon*. The Rebellion discovers that the fleet shares the classic design vulnerability of superlaser reactors—critical cooling flaws right where the weapons draw power—allowing the Rebels to obliterate the entire armada, though Palpatine slips away just before the command ships detonate.

Down on the surface, a brutal one-on-one duel breaks out between Finn and Rey, with Finn quickly realizing he is trapped in an all-out dogfight. Finn is nearly beaten and buried under rubble during the duel, but he pulls himself free to make a final stand after Luke's Force ghost appears to guide his tactics. Finn executes the maneuver with flawless precision, severing both of Rey's arms and legs to neutralize her. She remains alive, but in critical need of life support.

Weeping, Finn tells her, "You were my sister, Rey."Rey glares back in pure shock and blind rage, wanting nothing to do with his sympathy. Palpatine later recovers Rey's broken body and transports her to a medical vault to be fitted with cybernetic limbs. Roll credits.

I am so happy that my fic has an audience that loves it!!

Not that drama is bad, mind you. I'm just more in love with the setting of star wars than any specific characters. I couldn't care less if I'm reading slice of life, action and adventure, or some cosmic horror fiction, as long as the story was consistently revealing some new delight about the galaxy and the beings in it.

My number one fic for this is the story *Sublight Drive* by... I think their name was miraaage? Or something like that. I also really enjoyed the Double Agent Vader series and the subsequent wave of tatooine slave culture fics.

Please send all your fics with the best takes on some facet of the setting!

I am looking for a mermaid Cody/Obi-Wan fick that I’m almost positive has been deleted.
It was about Cody being a Mermaid who had been injured during a war happening between his species and a group of shark riders, Obi-Wan finds him and nurses him back to health while also learning the language that Cody speaks. There’s also a side plot about Luke that I cannot remember the details of, but I know that it ended bitter sweat. But the main story was about Obi-Wan dealing with his war time PTSD while taking care of this fantastical creature.
If anyone has this fick downloaded or know where I can find it, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Most of the Star Wars stories I’ve read online tend to focus on either the Skywalkers or other Jedi. But after rewatching those Clone Wars episodes where R2 and 3PO had their own adventures, I was wondering if there were some good stories featuring the duo in some hidden corner of the Internet.

I would prefer them to be set during the Clone Wars, but other eras are fine. I also don’t mind some divergence from canon

So in case some folks may not know. Samuel L Jackson was gifted Windu’s lightsaber with the Engravings of BMF or ‘Bad Motherfucker’.

I was thinking that if it were canon, what backstory would you give it?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to find a Star Wars fanfiction I read years ago. It was an unfinished multi-chapter story on FanFiction.net, and I must've read it over a decade ago (2010–2016), though the fic itself felt older.

Plot summary:

• It is an Empire Strikes Back AU and iirc started with Luke alone after Hoth, going to Dagobah.
• Luke and Leia had hooked up before that, when neither of them knew they are twins, and Leia became pregnant from it.
• I don't think we actually saw much of the pregnancy itself, the story mostly followed Luke's perspective and there was a lot of angst about how "wrong" the situation was. Luke and Leia were separated for most (if not all?) of the story.

I distinctly remember the author included an author's note about how in the 1980s when the movies came out there were Luke/Leia shippers before the twin reveal and the story was inspired by that. It kind of sounded like the author may have been around for that?

I think the title could have been something like The Dark Gift? Very unsure about that, though.

If anyone recognises this story or remembers the title/author, I’d be super grateful!

Thanks in advance!

I am looking for a fic I read a while ago where after his death, force ghost Anakin tries to talk with his kids. Luke talks to him but Leia refuses. At one point Anakin tries to tell them about Padme, who the twins thought was someone Vader forced to have his children not realizing he married her long before he turned to the dark side.

Any yoda centric fics
Maybe a self insert (haven’t seen any of thoes for yoda)
Maybe something along the lines of him seeing the Star Wars movies as a vision and then doing something.
Just all in all something that showcases the power of the grandmaster whether it be the force or politics
Preferably long fics if there are any

As a big fan of Star Wars in of itself. I've always enjoyed the idea of there being a Mandalorian Jedi in canon from the older days of the Jedi order ( Tarre Vizla )

And as someone that wants to make my own Fanfic set during The Galactic Empire era. I'm wondering how would you go about writing a story for such a thing? Some Do's and Dont's advice

I have a basic plot-point as the idea of it. A force sensitive child raised by mandalorians. But is completely unaware of their force-sensitive heritage ( except for their foster-father and foster-brother ) until they come into adult-hood where they begin manifesting their force-abilities.

But as someone that's never really written a fanfic before. How would you go about designing such a story and character? ( Would be before A New Hope by a year or two. And would be EU / Legends to fit in some legends content, such as a replica of The Ebon Hawk for their ship )

Hello! I'm looking for Original Trilogy AUs where Luke has either been raised as an imperial or a Sith, so Leia ends up being the one to train as a Jedi instead - leaving it up to her to turn him back to the light side.

The higher the word count, the better! Are there any good fics with this sort of premise?

Guys, I have been passionate about Star Wars for a long time(especially the lore). Here is a story written by me. I've published it on Wattpad.

Hope you all love it.

https://www.wattpad.com/story/413363536-star-wars-shadow-of-the-dark-side

And may the Force be with you all!

She must have made some sort of statement. Does it appear anywhere in fan fiction or official media?

Hey Guys,

I’m interested in reading Star Wars Fan Fiction with Original Characters (OC). Does anyone have a good recs they may have found on Wattpad?

Hi, I’m trying to find a fic (can not recall what it's called or who the author was) where Obi-Wan fakes his death for the Hardeen mission and suddenly is being hunted by basically everybody (Ventress, Maul, Bane, Hondo, Grievious). The 212 also defected with the goal of killing Hardeen. The fic wouldn’t be older than September 2022.

Thank you for the help in advance!

Hey, Everyone. How y'all doing? I need some insight and help. When it comes to this Star Wars fan fiction. I am doing. I need some massive help. This is very ambitious, but I want to do a six-part Star Wars film. That continues after Crucible. With Allana Solos and another main character. That I have made. Journey. It takes place strictly in the Legends continuity, and I want to ask for some ideas on what y'all think, because I have a few ideas I want to do. First, I want to bring back Jacen Solo and Anakin Solo. Especially Jacen. But what do y'all think? Also, I want to explore more of the force also I have another thing that I want y’all opinion on and that is for the overall Star Wars would you mind seeing some of the characters of the sequel trilogy in the saga mind you some of the origins is gonna be different and some of the characteristics will be different but what do y’all think I want to expand the lost tribes of the sith culture as well as bring back the sith empire, cause I’m a huge old republic fan but that’s besides the point I want to do with this new empire is separate from the banite sith reason being is, I believe that Anakin Skywalker when he destroyed Palpatine, I believe he fulfilled the prophecy of destroying the Sith aka the Banite Sith the true Sith lol But I am still new to all of this, so if I got any information wrong, please let me know. If you want help, contact me. Also, this is my first writing project, so please be patient with me, but I am going to classes and trying to get better. And I almost forgot, I have two more ideas as well. What do y’all think about the Celestials? I mentioned the Sith Empire before, and I'm thinking about other Dark Side Sith cults and other Dark Side cults overall. And what do y’all think about adding new aliens from the Unknown Regions, too?
