●NO EMPEROR PALPATINE ●Rey is a Nobody ●Hux is NOT a spy ●Ben Solo lives ●A happy ending
The last Jedi Rey and the Resistance race against time to prevent the launch of the Final Order fleet by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren —a fleet began by Emperor Palpatine and the Sith Eternal Cult before his death and continued by Snoke during his rise to power—on Exegol, the hidden planet of the Sith…
Chapter Summary
The outmatched Resistance battles the Final Order fleet while Rey and Ben duel the Knights of Ren for command of the Final Order fleet so they can force an armistice and the end of the war…
Excerpt
The Knights of Ren advanced on Rey and Ben as the Sith Inquisitors watched on in silence and the cultists in the arena cheered the Knights and jeered the Dyad. The Knights reminded Rey of Snoke’s Praetorian guard— which her and Ben had defeated together over a year prior— but Rey had a feeling that the Knights were going to be far more formidable opponents. They were not only hardened by countless battles, but they could touch the Force, an attribute that Ben had no doubt sharpened during his time with them as Kylo Ren.
The two Knights with the firearms— Cardo with his deadly arm-cannon and Kuruk with his precision double-barreled blaster rifle— advanced first, firing at Rey and Ben right out of the gate while the other four Knights circled menacingly around them like wolves.
The pair were pinned down, dodging and deflecting Cardo’s arm-cannon and Kuruk’s riflefire.
Ben leapt at Cardo, Force pushing his arm-cannon away before running him through with his lightsaber…
Please reblog if you think that ReySky (Rey as Luke’s biological daughter) and SkyRogue (Luke Skywalker/Jyn Erso) should be our Zutara (the canon that was never officially published, but that the fandom clings to and celebrates anyways).
Imagine the main villain of Rey’s movie isn’t some cackling Sith Lord or a First Order remnant but it turns out to be the space CIA who work for the New Republic. They backed the First Order’s rise to power so the New Republic can have something to fear and have Luke Skywalker return so they can control the Jedi, helped Snoke rise to power and also implied to have an Operation Cinder satellite that may or may not have been the lightning that struck the Jedi temple on Ossus which killed all of Ben’s fellow students.
A Different Sort of Lesson: mysterymanjoseph and draelith
This planet did not even have a name, according to navigation charts, just a number. Joseph had come here, tapped by the intelligence services of his home planet to plant self sustaining sensor arrays on remote planets that any First Order fleet pass by if they decided to make an attack on his home world. He used the cover of being an independent prospector, an easily enough believed fiction, explains his constant landing on remote worlds. He was about to leave, doing a visual inspection of his ship before doing the same to the interior before lifting off. The ship, looks like a near dilapidated, barely functional hunk of junk, and was purposely made to look that way by military shipyard workers. In reality, the ship was over powered, over shielded and armored, with weapons that would give a destroyer class opponent a real challenge, if that opponent could move fast enough to be a threat. All seems in order, and he thinks, “Well, everything on the outside is squared away, if it is the same on the inside, I’ll get a good night’s sleep, then lift off tomorrow morning for my next objective.”
What if the New Jedi Order movie takes place in the aftermath of a Jedi Civil War? Rey discovered that there’s factions of Jedi that have different beliefs in the force but she and other Jedi’s brought them under one banner but they work similar to the Brotherhood Of Steel meaning it’s divided into chapters that work differently but are still New Jedi Order members.
It was good for years till they recruited a controversial force group, the Mandalorian Knights, and it caused the fundamentalist chapters to stage a rebellion against Rey and the other chapters but it failed epically (think the South Korean coup but with a high body count) and it’s now order 66 for them but justified.
And the movie’s villains are a group trying to reform that rebellion but the main character or Rey arrives and it falls apart in the end not cause she does the usual Jedi stuff but the thought of her being there struck so much fear, they decided to fight among themselves. Like one said is groveling and the other also is groveling before another starts a fight that escalates into a civil war with Rey winning just by doing nothing but haunting the narrative.
It would be interesting if Hunt For Ben Solo was retitled to Star Wars: Agent Solo. It centers on Ben returning (unknown explanation but implies he “went somewhere” and was found wandering around tired) and becoming an agent of the New Republic while going through what is essentially Metal Gear Solid 3 but Star Wars. Like he becomes Naked Snake meets Leon S. Kennedy.
That also that means while Rey, Finn and Poe are going on fun adventures, Ben is going though this:
(I’d pay for unhinged reunions with Rey and Ben keeps saying what he’s doing is classified)
I never thought about that. If not, Rey would had been one hell of a handmaiden assigned to protect the queen. But I think Rey would had still ended up with the jedi order.
Ray (male Rey) is a prisoner of (female) Kylo Ren at Starkiller Base in this genderbent version of the TFA Interrogation scene…
Excerpt
The cold was the first thing he felt. A deep, metallic chill that seeped into his bones. Then came the ache in his shoulders, the strain in his wrists. Ray’s eyes fluttered open to a blinding, sterile white light. He was strapped upright to a hard, unforgiving surface, angled back just enough to make his position one of vulnerable display. His arms were pulled to his sides, wrists secured by heavy restraints, and his ankles were similarly bound. He tried to move, to twist, but the restraints gave no quarter, only digging into his flesh with his effort.
A shadow moved in the periphery of the blazing light.
He blinked, his vision swimming into focus. A figure sat on the floor a few feet away, a dark, hunched shape in a resting squat, utterly still. The mask—the angular, terrifying mask of Kylo Ren—was pointed directly at him. Like a phantom in the shadows, Ren had been watching. Waiting.
Ray’s heart hammered against his ribs. “Where am I?”
A long, deliberate beat of silence hung in the cold air. Then, the modulated, distorted voice replied, “You’re my guest.”
The voice was a low hum, impossible to gender. Ray strained against the bindings again, a surge of panic-fueled strength that accomplished nothing. “Where are the others?”
“You mean the murderers, traitors, and thieves you call friends?” The voice was calm, almost conversational, which made it worse.
Ray stared into the blank, silvered lenses of the mask. His fear was a live wire in his gut, but beneath it, coiling like smoke, was something else. A strange, magnetic pull. An awareness of the figure that went beyond sight. It unsettled him deeply. He shoved the feeling down.
The masked head tilted, a considering gesture. “You still want to kill me.”
“That happens when you’re being hunted by a creature in a mask,” spat Ray.
The figure—Kylo Ren—slowly unfolded from the squat. They were tall, towering over him even with him on the rig. The dark robes swirled as they took a single, silent step closer. A gloved hand rose, and for a terrifying moment, Ray thought they would strike him. Instead, the fingers found the latches at the temple of the mask. There was a soft hiss-click of pressure releasing.
The mask lifted away and was placed on a nearby table.
Long, raven-black hair tumbled free, framing a face of stark, beautiful contrasts. Pale, almost luminous skin. Sharp, elegant cheekbones. A full, solemn mouth. Dark, intense eyes that held galaxies of conflict. She was a woman. A stunning, formidable woman.
Ray’s breath caught in his throat. All his assumptions, the mental image of a monstrous man, shattered. The defiance he’d mustered bled away into pure, stunned shock. He was looking at a warrior queen, an Amazon carved from moonlight and shadow…

Excerpt
The corridor broke open into an an amphitheater as big as a hollowed-out mountain, brimming with robed figures. There were thousands of them, faceless in the dark distance, but pulsing with zealotry. Religious disciples, awaiting the return of the Sith.
Waiting for them.
As they approached, the rumbling swelled, became a collective, worshipful welcome.
“At last, Lord Ren returns to Exegol!” came a slimy voice, cutting through the clamor. Ben nodded to her, and Rey turned toward the voice. Kharon, along with six other red-robed figures, materialized from the shadows. The Sith Inquisitors. They bowed low as Ben and Rey approached.
“Lord Ren brings a Jedi into our sanctuary…” murmured Kharon, the slightest hint of an accusatory hiss in his voice. The other cultists in the arena followed suit, a low buzz surrounding them like a hive of bees.
“I bring before you the other half of the Dyad!” replied Ben, and the cultists broke out into another deafening cheer.
Out of the shadows, behind the Inquisitors, the Knights of Ren stepped forward and converged in front of the Sith throne. Rey stared at them, having only seen them in visions. Ben remained stonefaced as Vicrul took the Kylo Ren mask from the arm of the throne and stepped forward to present it to him. Evidently it was a gift.
“A new mask for the beginning of the new Sith Empire, Lord Ren. Courtesy of the Sith Eternal,” Vicrul said. After a moment’s hesitation, Ben took the new mask with both hands. He and the other Knights bowed. Rey watched as Ben stared at the mask’s pristine chrome visage, his expression inscrutable.
“The Dyad will take the throne,” announced Kharon. “The Final Order fleet will launch, and the Sith will rule the galaxy once more!”
At this, Ben looked up from his mask at the Inquisitors and the Knights. He tossed aside the mask, which landed with a resounding clank on the fissured stone ground. Hushed whispers echoed around them.
“We’ll claim the throne,” he said, gazing slowly at everyone in the amphitheater. “And our first act will be to recall the fleet. There will be no war…”
Construir el Poder: Ensayo de los primeros capítulos de Versailles
Cuando vemos los primeros tres capítulos de la serie Versailles, lo primero que notamos es que el protagonista no es solo el Rey, sino la obra en construcción. Como estudiantes, sabemos que un edificio es mucho más que paredes y techos; es un mensaje. En la serie, Luis XIV utiliza la arquitectura para decirle a todo el mundo quién manda, transformando un viejo e incómodo pabellón de caza en el centro del universo.
El sitio: Dominar lo imposible
En el primer capítulo, la serie nos muestra que el terreno de Versailles era un desastre: un pantano lleno de barro y mosquitos. Desde el punto de vista técnico, era el peor lugar para construir. Sin embargo, para un arquitecto (y para el Rey), esto es un reto de ingeniería y paisajismo.
La escenografía nos muestra constantemente a obreros sufriendo y máquinas de madera moviendo tierra. Esto resalta una idea clave: el Rey quiere demostrar que su voluntad es más fuerte que la naturaleza. Al imponer ejes rectos y fuentes de agua donde antes solo había lodo, Luis XIV está “domesticando” el paisaje. Los jardines que empiezan a dibujarse no son para pasear, son para demostrar orden y control absoluto.
El diseño del control: Adiós a la privacidad
Algo que salta a la vista en los episodios 2 y 3 es cómo están conectadas las habitaciones. Estan en enfilade, que básicamente significa poner todas las puertas alineadas una tras otra.
En la serie, vemos cómo esto afecta la vida de los nobles. No hay pasillos escondidos ni rincones privados; si quieres ir de un punto A a un punto B, tienes que pasar por en medio de todas las salas. La escenografía usa esto para crear una sensación de vigilancia constante. El palacio está diseñado para que nadie pueda esconderse. Si el Rey quiere saber qué estás haciendo, solo tiene que mirar a través de esa línea infinita de puertas. El espacio se convierte en una jaula de oro donde la arquitectura te obliga a estar siempre “en escena”.
Materiales que deslumbran (y engañan)
A medida que avanza la construcción en el capítulo 3, vemos la obsesión por el uso del mármol, el oro y los espejos. Para nosotros, la materialidad es fundamental para dar una sensación específica. En Versailles, la intención es el deslumbramiento.
La serie juega mucho con los reflejos. En una época donde el cristal era carísimo y difícil de fabricar, llenar una habitación de espejos era como tener tecnología de la NASA hoy en día. La arquitectura busca confundir los límites entre lo que es real y lo que es reflejo, haciendo que el palacio parezca infinito y que el Rey esté en todas partes a la vez.
En estos primeros capítulos, aprendemos que Versailles no se construyó para ser una casa cómoda, sino para ser una herramienta política. La serie nos enseña que el diseño tiene el poder de cambiar el comportamiento de las personas. Luis XIV no necesitó usar la fuerza para controlar a sus enemigos; le bastó con encerrarlos en un edificio tan grande, tan brillante y tan simétrico que terminaron sintiéndose pequeños ante su poder.
“That’s not actually funny, Poe,” Finn was saying.
“I think it’s plenty funny. What do you say, Rey? Care to earn a hundred dollars?”
Rey blinked. “Sorry, what?”
“Ignore him,” Rose sighed. “You know he thinks he’s a prankster.”
Poe winked. “Because I am. Now, Rey, all you have to do is slap the ass of the next person who walks in the door.”
In which Rey, an omega on expired blockers, slaps the ass of one Ben Solo, an alpha unable to take blockers, and then proceeds to play heat chicken. The heat wins.
