What if Luke were on Ahch-To with a purpose? What if Luke had a prior connection to Rey? What if Captain Phasma had a whole other identity that connected her to key players on both sides of the galactic struggle for power? What if Snoke had a whole other relationship with his apprentice, and with the Dark Side? What if the Knights of Ren were right under our noses, just waiting to break forth and reunite with their Master? And what if the story was fun, and funny, without making fun of itself? Isn't that a Star Wars you would want to experience?
'The Last Jedi' divided fans, but maybe 'The First Jedi' can bring them back together. Experience an Episode VIII story in which heroes and villains alike are more complex, more deeply intertwined in each other's stories, in which heroes elevate each other, and in which the Force, its users, and those sensitive to it manifest themselves in ways that have long been hinted at, but never seen before...
The backlash against 'The Last Jedi' has been ugly, painful and disrespectful to many members of the diverse Star Wars fan community. The purpose of this project is not to add fuel to that fire or excuse any of that terrible behavior. Indeed, my goal is to help heal those wounds.
'The First Jedi' does not erase the women or people of color in 'The Last Jedi'. Holdo, Rose and all the other new characters are still here; indeed, they have as much or more to do in this story.
Star Wars is supposed to be fun; and fandom is a kind of love. There is no room here for hate.
Whether you loved or were disappointed by 'The Last Jedi', everyone can enjoy this respectful reimagining of the Episode VIII story.
So please enjoy! And let me know what you think! I can't wait to hear from you!

the darkest night ♛ kylo ren (2)
"Only in the darkness can you see stars." - It has been six years since Ben Solo succumbed to his fate and betrayed the Jedi Order after being seduced by the Dark Side. With the aid of his immense power, the First Order has cast a shadow over the galaxy reminiscent of the Empire. Former padawan Lyra Escara has been put into hiding and forced to change her identity, the once-honorable title of Jedi now one that promised a deadly target on her back. As a handmaiden to the queen reigning over Naboo, she leads the quiet life of a protector while she anxiously awaits a call from the Resistance, a beckoning to make her valiant return to the fight where she could finally avenge her slaughtered friends and family, and give the galaxy hope. But when a trade deal goes astray and the First Order abducts the queen and a handful of her maidens to use as a bartering chip to force their terms, Lyra finds herself a prisoner on their lead ship. Knowing she must hide her force sensitivity to protect her life as well as her queen's, the last thing she expects is to be reunited with an old friend... one she thought had died six years ago, taking her heart with him. Sensing conflict in him, Lyra's hope flares upon learning that the feared Kylo Ren isn't too far gone just yet. Facing unsettled conflict, old wounds and the constant war of good and evil raging around them, could Lyra's boundless love and determination be the spark that will save Ben Solo from himself, or will she destroy herself trying to be the hero when it matters most? - Book Two (THIS IS THE SEQUEL TO COVET, IF YOU HAVEN'T YET YOU MUST READ BEFORE YOU CAN READ THIS STORY)Complete

Then there's Resistance pilot Poe Dameron. Rey hardly knows him and yet now she's strongly captivated by him, drawn to him by an aura that feels so positive and so warm and welcome.

Confronting Fear
"When I offer you my hand again, you'll take it." What if Kylo Ren had been right? What if Rey had taken Kylo Ren's hand when he offered it the second time, deciding her best chance at defeating Palpatine and saving the galaxy was with him? But can the two of them overcome their differences and mistrust of each other to accomplish that task or will pride win out? And then there is a certain group of meddling Force Ghosts determined to test them to their fullest. Meanwhile, Finn has a destiny of his own to fulfill chasing visions of his past across the galaxy. Poe buries himself in work as he tries to forget his failures and forge ahead. Leia attempts to cement her legacy and ensure the future of the galaxy. This fanfic explores a different ending to TROS starting at about the halfway point, when Kylo reveals the truth about Rey in the hangar. It will focus mainly on their story but there will be significant plot arcs that focus on Finn, Poe, Leia, and others. There will be a few augmentations to the earlier story, but I have tried to stay true to the plot up until this point, except for the 16 hr deadline Palpatine gave them. His threat was open ended in my version. This will contain mature and graphic content. 11/9/20 #1 in Palpatine #2 in Reylofanfiction 11/24 #37 in Reylo 12/14/20 Almost 9k reads, y'all are the best #61 in Star Wars (out of 26k!) #1 in reylofanfiction #1 in greyjedi 5/2/21 #3 in Reylo I am completely blown away by you all! 5/6/21 #1 in Reylo you all are awesome!

A Lesson to Learn
Note: you do not have to be a Star Wars fan to enjoy this story! There are some references which will make the story more fun for even a casual Star Wars fan, but this story can also stand alone as its own work of fiction (while using Star Wars characters as an easy way to imagine each person). After committing what Kylo Ren only refers to as "The Big Oops", naughty devil/demon Kylo Ren is punished for his bad deeds by God (who also happens to be Leia Organa, his mother). As punishment, Kylo Ren is trapped and bound to a ring which is hidden away on Earth. When someone wears the ring Kylo Ren is bound to serve them, that is if they can force (or convince) him to reveal himself and listen to their wishes. His only chance at escape from his imprisonment is when, according to Leia, the "right person comes along and releases you". Frustrated at his mother's cryptic words regarding his freedom and his ring having ended up at a thrift store at the bottom of a jewelry box for years, Kylo Ren's ring is finally picked up by a gentle and unassuming woman - Rey Dameron. Kylo finds himself instantly attached to this rather average looking woman and is (almost?) excited to be bound to her and to serve her. Will Kylo reveal himself to Rey so that they can get into (hopefully) some trouble together? Will Rey be willing to keep the ring once she realizes the power it holds through Kylo Ren? And will Rey begin to feel the same sort of attachment towards Kylo that he already feels towards her? Moodboard: https://pin.it/73NBVmbComplete
Tales of a Comet (A Kylo Ren Story)
My earliest memory is pain. Pain of losing a mother, pain of losing the love of a father, pain from the isolation that happened after the incident. I am reminded by others that what happened on that day was an accident and it wasn't my fault, but deep down I know what truly happened and so does my father and brothers. The deep self-anger and self-hate I have was slowly consuming me until I was taken away by General Organa and the Resistance. My life was beginning to look brighter, until the day I was kidnapped by the First Order. This is where my story neither begins nor ends. This is when my story becomes dark, so dark that even a Sith Lord would tremble in fear. I don't own the Star Wars universe (duh) but I do own the main character and those that are not from SW. There will be spoilers, but the storyline might diverge a bit from the original plot from the films.Complete
Star Wars Male Reader X Son of Han Solo and Leia Organa Episode 8 TLJ
This Star Wars story is a continuation of my Star Wars episode 7 story. Last we left of Y/N Solo and Rey Solana had just found the last Jedi and Y/N's uncle Luke Skywalker on Ahch-To. Now they are hoping that Luke Skywalker is what they need to become fully fledged Jedi Knights and is also what the Resistance needs to take down the First Order once and for all. In this story you will find out something that Y/N has been hiding for awhile now and seeing Luke again brings back the memories of what happened. Now I know for TLJ the Canto Bight parts are a very divided part of the movie for the star wars fan base. So to avoid annoying anyone I'll be sticking to to the parts on Ahch-To with Y/N, Rey, Ben/Kylo Ren and Luke. Which means the only points of view I'll be switching between is mainly Y/N and Rey, and maybe Luke. Also once the TLJ story is finished I'll be adding a bit more to this story, which will taken from another star wars story you'll probably know what it is when I get to it. And like with the other story I don't own any of the characters that I use in this story. All rights belong to Lucasfilm and Disney.Complete
