Greetings to all the wonderful fans of Star Wars! The following chapters will include my version of Star Wars the Force Awakens. I wish to apologize in advance for several areas that will have holes in them, usually filled with an explanation of what's missing. These gaps are unavoidable as they would've contained material from the original story, the printing rights of which belong to Lucasfilm. Just consider this as a top secret file that's been redacted with black lines covering the classified information.
The new version of The Force Awakens starts out as it does in the original film with Poe retrieving the data module and giving it to BB-8 before the First Order arrives and captures him. Since that part is unchanged, it won't be included here due to copywriting restrictions and stuff like that. Instead, we'll move ahead to the introduction of Rey.
I liked Rey, but her character design needed an overhaul. Rey is generous and helpful, but such a personality doesn't fit with a character who has spent their life alone and struggling for scraps just to survive. She'd be a scoundrel like Han. The most selfish thing imaginable is a baby. The world revolves around it, and when it has a need or want, it screams and cries until someone provides it. Someone once said, "A person who lives by themselves and for themselves is likely to be corrupted by the company they keep." Even if she had a good heart, desperation and survival would make Rey's priority her own welfare. Selflessness and charity aren't automatic; they must be learned, and in the movie, there isn't anyone of high moral character in her life to teach her such things, so I added one.
Alright, enough talking about the changes, let's get to them and to the actual story. Enjoy.
