Written after the first trailer for Rise of Skywalker dropped and finished before the film was released. My version of what I thought/hoped Rise of Skywalker could be.

The plot is based on information from books, comics, trailers, photoshoots, leaks and speculation from my favourite youtube channels-Den of Nerds, AT-AT chat, Girls with Sabers, Rebel Scum Podcast and Lords of the Sith.

I wrote the first 10 chapters before the JediPraxis leaks which I only knew the gist of on completion. Matt Smith being cast then suspiciously removed is an integral part of my plot and is sadly wrong☹️, however, that said I'm really happy with my interpretation. Think I hit all the major points.

Contains references to previous films, novelisations and comics.

I'm a Reylo shipper but there will be no major smut- one additional slightly adult chapter at the end of the book.

Character casting-

Although most of it is the same as the movie some isn't and I thought this might help to clarify as someone on Archive of our Own got super confused.

Letan Nex- Matt Smith

Dominic Monaghan- Altor

Enjoy!
