And here we are, the final part of the Star Wars Sequel trilogy.


Caden didn't want to believe it, but it was happening. He ran over to Rey when she fell over. Her body wasn't moving, her eyes were open but they weren't looking anywhere. Caden had tears in his eyes, it couldn't be happening.

"Rey? Rey no." Caden pleaded the tears coming down his face. "Rey please. Don't do this. Please Rey." He begged. "No, please, don't leave me." He cradled her body closer to him letting his tears fall freely. Suddenly he heard a groan from behind him, it was Ben, a little scratched up but nothing too serious. "Ben? What do I do? I can't lose her Ben." He begged his cousin. Ben knelt to Caden's level. "I can't live without her Ben, please." Ben looked to Rey's body for a moment, then he remembered what she did to him at the Death Star.

"I know what I have to do. And I have the strength to do it." Ben said.

"What? What do you mean?" Caden asked.

"I won't let you live as our grandfather lived. You won't be alone." Ben said. "I've caused so much pain, I won't let anyone else die." Ben said before placing his hand on Rey's head and closed his eyes. Caden didn't know what was going on until he felt Rey's hand on his. He looked surprised and couldn't form any words. She slowly woke up and sat up on her own. They locked eyes with each other.

"Caden?" Rey asked.

Caden couldn't say anything more, he didn't believe this was real. Rey leaned forward and before Caden could say anything, she kissed him. He returned the kiss, bringing him out of his stupor. It was filled with love, the same love they had when they first kissed on Ach-To. They broke apart and just looked at each other, smiling and laughing.

"Yeah, it's me sweetheart." Caden said using his nickname for her. Suddenly though, Ben groaned and fell to his back. Caden and Rey went to him. "Ben?" Caden asked.

"Thank you." Ben said with a smile, before closing his eyes and becoming one with the Force. Caden started crying for his cousin, the last family he had left. Rey pulled him into a hug. They were there for a while before they left Exegol, in separate directions though. Finn could see Luke's X-wing flying out.

"Red Five is in the air. Rey's alive!" Finn exclaimed.

"Yes!" Kira shouted.

"People are rising all over the galaxy! Poe, Kira, we did it!" Finn shouted.

"We did it." Poe said. The Resistance ships all made their way home. On other parts of the galaxy, like Bespin, Endor, and Jakku, the Star Destroyers were no more. The First Order and the Sith were over.


Back on the Resistance base everyone was celebrating. Everyone was hugging and kissing, they had finally won. DJ was getting a big hug from Chewie, and Finn was shaking hands with a lot of people. He then saw Kira and ran to her hugging her tightly before kissing her on the lips.

"I love you so much!" Finn shouted.

"I love you too!" Kira shouted before they hugged again.

Poe was having a brief moment with Zorii who survived Kijimi and helped fight the First Order. They went their separate ways. Then Poe, Finn and Kira had their little reunion. Chewie was getting awarded a medal by Maz when Rey landed. Finn, Poe and Kira went to greet her, hugging her tightly.

"You made it!" Kira shouted.

"Not bad flying out there." Poe said.

"How?" Finn asked.

"Come with me. Please." Rey said leading them to a different spot in the woods.

There they saw someone who they never thought they'd see again. Caden. He had landed somewhere nearby where the Resistance couldn't see him. It was still a bit awkward and tense, considering he was with the First Order. He stepped forward a bit.

"It's alright, he's back. He helped me defeat Palpatine." Rey said.

Kira didn't say anything else but crashed into her best friend hugging him tightly. Caden returned the hug. Poe went forward and shook his hand in respect. But the one person who Caden felt ashamed to be in front of the most, was Finn. They both looked at each other for a long time their expressions saying a thousand different things and Finn just went forward and hugged one of his best friends. Caden returned the hug. Then all of them got together from all sides and formed a group hug. Despite everything that happened, they were all here. But especially for the three youths whose journeys started on Jakku, and separated after Crait, it was special for them, they were all back together again.


On Tatooine, the Falcon flew over a Sandcrawler with Jawas present. The Falcon then landed at a familiar sight. Luke Skywalker's Moisture Farm. It had been abandoned for years ever since Luke left. The doors opened to reveal Rey and Caden stepping out, with BB-8 and Artoo present. Caden looked around the area for a bit, lost in his own world.

"Have you ever been here before?" Rey asked him breaking him out of his thoughts.

"Only in dreams." Caden said. The two of them separated and Rey got a piece of metal and slid down to the home area, just like what she used to do on Jakku. Caden meanwhile, was journeying into the garage. He saw the empty space where a speeder would be. An oil bath for a droid. On the ground he found a T-16 model and picked it up, examining it. He and Rey then went to the front of the garage and got together what they came to do. They set the sabers of Anakin, Luke and Leia on a cloth and wrapped them up. Caden and Rey then used the Force to bury the blades, signifying the end of the old Skywalker's. Rey took out a new lightsaber, a gold one, made out of her staff. Caden took out Vader's blade, having picked it up on Kef Bir. He remembered his aunt and his grandfather's words, even though it was used for evil, he wouldn't use it that way. The Darksaber was with him as well. He couldn't get rid of that, but he would wait until someone more worthy of the blade would claim it and rule his mother's home planet of Mandalore. Suddenly they heard an animal grunting. An old woman had appeared, journeying through the desert.

"There's been no one here in some time." She said. "Who are you two?"

"I'm Rey, this is Caden." Rey answered.

"Rey and Caden who?" The old woman asked.

"He has a last name, but, I'm just Rey." Rey said.

Caden looked to his left at that moment. And there he saw his family there. His father, Luke, his aunt, Leia, his grandfather, Anakin, and finally, his cousin, Ben. He smiled at the sight, and remembered his mother's words to him.

"No, she has a name. In fact, since we're together, we both share it." Caden said stepping forward. Rey looked to him confused.

"It's Caden… and Rey Skywalker."

Rey looked to Caden shocked, but he gave her a reassuring smile. They then walked toward the hill watching the twins suns set. The journey they had been on was difficult, but they would move forward. A new horizon was coming. They would be the future of the Skywalker Legacy.


And there we have it. Now, an explanation to the finale and the trilogy in general, if Rey was always meant to be a Skywalker, then, have a Skywalker be her love interest. That way she can abandon the Palpatine name and embrace being a Skywalker with said love interest. Another reason why I had a Skywalker OC is that Lucas said that bloodlines matter, but Disney threw it out the window, and in my opinion, that was the dumbest thing they could have done, I may have liked the new trilogy, but this in my opinion was the worst decision they have ever made. Now, that being said, I hope this rewrite of sorts made the films a bit better. Hell in my mind, this is my version of canon. Thank you all so much for your love and support. May the Force be with you.

Reviews:

MerlockVonBaron: Thanks!

Guest DCDGojira: Thanks! Hope you liked the ending!

ABEBOABDU: Thanks so much! I admit, I cried writing that scene. I had to take a few minutes to collect my thoughts. Well, as I said, I like the movies, they have flaws but overall I still enjoyed the flow and structure of them.

avengersendgame426: Most likely. The whole idea was to give him his parents blades for the final battle. Yep, couldn't resist a little Duel of the Fates. Look JJ if you're going to go out epic, then do it right! I might have an Avengers OC story, but that might be way later on as I've got dozens of Game of Thrones stories I really want to finish and then write others.

Mr Guest: Well, maybe he'll be like Galen Marek, a Dark Jedi. Besides, he's still keeping the Sith blade of Vader.

Zero: Maybe down the lines, I'll write a sequel story explaining that, but for now, it's kind of up to the imagination.
