Alright let's begin, Now it should be obvious, this is my own version of Rise of Skywalker, but it is also a few slight changes to Last Jedi,

First off, Phasma survives, basically just take the alternate cut of her death from TLJ as how her confrontation with Finn went down, of course, since she was simply launched away by a heavy blaster, and not falling god knows how far into fire, this is more plausible, though she still would have had injuries,

Second, there is Rey, now here is the much more dramatic change, because in here, she is a Skywalker by blood, she is Luke's daughter, how did this happen and how does it not completely change TLJ? Here's how:

The gist of it is that I changed up the timeline a little, Ben Solo fell to the Dark Side around when Rey was 9, so basically 10 years before TFA, now Rey was living at the Jedi Temple with her parents, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade (because no one else can be Luke's wife), and Rey was a bright spot in Ben's life, and when he turned and massacred the temple he ended up killing Mara and came to believe that he was also responsible for the death of his cousin, driving him deeper into guilt and despair and delving deeper into the Dark Side, believing that he had ruined any chance he had of returning to the Light by murdering of his aunt and cousin,

This has its own effect on Luke, in his eyes not only did he cause his Nephew/apprentice to turn, but also the deaths of his wife and child, in his own perspective, Luke had fallen to the same mistake as his father (taking extreme actions to prevent something, only to cause it) and suffered the same consequences,

Unbeknownst to either of them, Rey had been slipped away onto a ship and ended up on Jakku, and during all of the chaos Rey had suffered from memory loss as a means of coping with the trauma, and over the course of the events of TLJ, Rey and Luke discovered their relation to each other (and in Rey's case regained most of her memories, its important which ones she still is missing), sidenote, Rey's given name is Solana, Rey is a name she picked up after her memory loss,

Now with these changes I have changed the reasons for wanting Kylo's redemption and to turn Rey to the Dark Side, family, Rey wants to save her cousin from the darkness, Kylo wants to not be alone, and sees turning Rey to the Dark Side as the only way

Of course this all has the wonderful benefit of ruling out reylo, so yay

A long time ago
