A re-imagining of Disney/JJ Abrams first STAR WARS movie in novel form.
Not meant to make money with.
The purpose of this project is to "fix" some of the issues I had with the new Star Wars trilogy as a whole. Many of the problems start with "The F...
As the freighter moved through hyperspace, Ben explained to Rey and Finn the current state of the war.
"My mother was hesitant to send me to Jakku until she learned that Kylo Ren had been kidnapping young children," said Ben. "Force sensitive children."
Finn and Rey exchanged startled looks.
"Indoctrinating them and turning them into Sith warriors," said Finn quietly. "Even I didn't know about this."
"Back on Jakku I saw them stow children on the shuttles," Ben continued. "I'm not going to let them be turned. We will stop by a cantina on Takodana. It's a pro republic planet but the First Order's got it's eyes on it."
Lights started blinking on the ships dashboard.
"Another ship is coming to intercept!" Rey shouted, examining the instruments.
Ben squinted at the monitors. "I'm bringing us out of hyperspace. It's a republic ship."
With a bang their freight came to a halt. A second later another freighter appeared, one that looked just as old and banged up.
"That's---" Finn began.
"Yeah," said Ben, not quite as impressed as Finn was looking. "Their she is. The Millennium Falcon. What I wan't to know is how they found us."
"Hello son," came a voice on he comms.
"Dad how did you find me?" Ben demanded.
"Sub dermal tracker," came a hesitant voice. "Your mother's idea so don't blame me."
"Well a lot of good that did huh?" said Ben angrily. "I ended up having to bust my own hide with the help of a storm trooper defector."
"We both have luck as our ally," said the voice. "We can talk more later. We'll rendezvous on Takodana."
When their ship had at last arrived on the lush Takodana, Rey was completely mesmerized by the bright greenery and numerous bodies of water that decorated the planet's surface.

"I've never seen so much water," Rey breathed.
Ben smiled at her as he landed their freighter just outside a large civilian building by the edge of a lake. "I have a feeling your going to be amazed by a lot of things in the coming days."
The three of them disembarked. Finn stretched out his arms with a grunt. Rey took in the welcoming smell of the forest. It was the first time she had ever smelled nature like this.
"A woman by the name of Maz Kanata owns this place," Ben explained. "Old friend of my dad's. Their's a markets set up right beside it, feel free to explore."
Up ahead on the dirt path leading up to the cantina, a group of men in military uniform came into view.
