Hey everybird! What's up!?

So we're now less than a month away until Rise of Skywalker comes out! Oh boy! The waiting is just really intolerable at this point!

And today's question will be about a new short, 30 second teaser shown for the movie!

So, what did you think of the teaser?

Me: It was great as always, I am wondering how Finn can breathe in space, since the Falcon is outside the hangar, although he might be wearing something to help him do so, but than again… How can Rey breathe? But I guess she does have the power to do so, like Leia had in The Last Jedi. And what I'm most excited about from the teaser is the shot of the Resistance fleet charging at the star destroyer parking lot, love it!

And moving on to your questions, well…

First, Nightfly123, I already answered your question in chapter 46… Seems like to me someone doesn't read the author's notes…

Second, Stormknight089, that question is going more on the really personal, sensitive area.

Chapter 49: Familiar Situations and Places

(Arthur's POV)

As the hours passed, I thought a lot about my life, all my life seemed to be a fight, even in times of peace, and well growing up I, along with Tyler, wanted a chance to be just like mom and dad, flying along the stars and fighting for a good cause and to protect the galaxy from evil. Joining the New Republic Navy and then the Resistance was the best choices we ever made, fighting against the First Order, only with the Hosnian System and the New Republic Fleet completely wiped out in a single, sudden blow, that fight has just become much more difficult and now we were literally running with our tails between out legs.

I knew soon enough that the cruiser would run out of fuel and we would be helpless as the ship was destroyed in volleys of turbolaser fire, the hull opening with holes going out into space, being sucked out and left to die in empty space. And I knew that time was approaching as the medical staff began evacuating the injured to the transports. However something else began to happen as I was helped up by a couple of the medical personal, being met by Grandpa Blu and someone I thought I would never see again.

"General Organa, you're up…" I said, surprised. "I thought the worst when I heard the news.

"Same here commander, I need you and some others to come with me." The general simply told me as I obeyed as I was now able to walk on my own talons.

"What's going on sir?" I asked Grandpa Blu as I was walking next to him.

"Poe, Tyler, and some others started a mutiny, relieved Holdo of her command, they apparently have a plan to escape the First Order and Poe took control of the bridge so we can escape to hyperspace." Grandpa Blu told me. "I told Tyler not to do anything rash, but…

"You expected him to listen sir?" I asked in an honest tone.

"No, but I never thought he would go this far." Grandpa Blu answered as with some soldiers, we made our way to the bridge where Poe was.

"Get this door open right away." Grandpa Blu ordered as the soldiers got to work, cutting through the door as it was sealed shut to prevent anyone from getting in.

However the door wouldn't give way easily as the tools the soldiers were using started to give in.

"It wouldn't budge sir." One of the soldiers reported.

"Use a charge on it, we have to get in." The general ordered as the soldiers first looked at each other, but listened as they placed a small explosive charge on the door.

"Get clear." A soldier said as we backed away. "Fire in the hole." The soldier said as the charge blew, taking the door with it and blasting it to pieces as smoke filled the hallway, making us cough as Grandpa Blu turned to the general.

"General, are you okay?" Grandpa Blu asked.

"Yes Colonel Blu, I'm going in." The general answered as she turned to one of the soldiers. "Blaster please." The general requested as the soldier handed over a blaster pistol.

"General, I must object, the soldiers should go in first." Grandpa Blu saying.

"If this is to end now Colonel, I must go, just cover me." The general simply said as she with a cane in one wing and the other holding onto the blaster behind her back, the general went in.

"Leia." I heard Poe's voice coming from inside as I then saw the general raise up the hidden blaster and stun Poe, the soldiers then coming in and securing the bridge and subduing anyone else inside.

With the mutiny put down and as I was brought to the current situation, the Resistance started boarding the transports in the hangar, to escape. With Grandpa Blu, we found Tyler, on a stretcher as he was knocked out like Poe from a stun shot hitting him, reminding me very much of when I had to stun him to prevent him from flying off alone.

"Oh brother… Yet again you have to get stunned to stop…" I shook my head.

"He'll be fine." Grandpa Blu told me. "He'll wake up pretty soon.

"I hope so…" I sighed. "I really need to slap some sense into him."

So with the remaining Resistance members getting on the transports, we left, away from the cruiser, as I watched from the window, I saw that Admiral Holdo decided to stay behind, not escaping to survive and staying behind. I wondered what was going on through her mind as we made out escape, with cloaking devices activated on the transports, we hoped we would be off their scanners and unable to see us.

As we left, I turned to Grandpa Blu who was sitting next to me, as I realized that I still didn't know where we were headed.

"Sir, if you don't mind, where are we going?" I asked.

"It should come into view anytime now." Grandpa Blu answered as he looked out, following his view as a few seconds later, a planet came into view, which looked very familiar, having seen a planet like that in the history books of the war between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance.

"That planet looks familiar…" I said softly.

"It should, that's Crait." Grandpa Blu told me as it hit me…

Mom and dad told us that with some other Alliance forces, they were sent to relieve the Rebel garrison on the planet from a rogue Imperial captain. Mom and dad being sent, along with Grandpa Blu and three other X-Wings from Blue Squadron, down towards the surface, protecting a dozen U-Wings bringing troop reinforcements, however they ran into a TIE Interceptor Squadron, putting the half dozen X-Wings to the test. It was here that dad got shot down, apparently mom was carrying Tyler and I and well one of us must have done some kicking, because it distracted mom and gave the TIE enough time to shoot at dad. Luckily he got saved and found out he was going to be a father after the remaining Imperials surrendered.

I guess I could say Tyler and I's life began on Crait and now it may very well become the place where we would die…

After Tyler woke up and I slapped him because of what he did, I showed Tyler Crait as he also realized that planet's importance to us.

"So I guess Holdo really did have a plan…" Tyler said, surprised. "Where is she anyway?"

"Stayed behind on the cruiser." I answered.

"Really?" Tyler replied. "Never thought she would be brave enough to do that."

"Someone needed to stay behind Tyler, make our escape convincing." Grandpa Blu spoke up. "Hopefully, with our transports cloaked, we can land down on the planet, stay in the base until the First Order passes while we contact our allies in the Outer Rim, get the help we need to fight back."

And just as Grandpa Blu finished speaking, a bright explosion filled our view as one of the transports suddenly blew up in flames as the shockwave shook our transport. As that transport was vaporized, another one blew up a few seconds later as I realized it was no accident as I just noticed the green laser shot hitting the second transport, tracing the shot back to the massive First Order star destroyer. There was nothing we could do but hope we didn't get hit as the transport's pilots sped up, trying to get out of range as one by one the transports blew up. I knew that anytime, we could be the next target as I prepared myself for my death.

As more transports were vaporized, one seeming to blow every second, I looked out towards the cruiser, Tyler joining me as we saw the cruiser start to turn. At first I thought Holdo was being a coward and running, saving herself and leaving us, but as I continued watching, I realized the opposite was true…

"I guess Holdo doesn't have what it takes to be a rebel…" Tyler commented.

"No, she's not running brother…" I said as the cruiser pointed right at the massive star destroyer firing at us. "She's going to ram them…"

And just like that, the cruiser went into hyperspace, right into the massive star destroyer, ramming it and with the speed the cruiser went at, it shred right through the star destroyer, breaking it into two halves as any of the normal star destroyers, that were behind the massive one, who were in the path were caught as well, the debris ripping apart any unlucky star destroyer in the way. A bright explosion lit in the blackness of space, like a star going nova almost as the hyperspace ramming by Holdo with the cruiser stopped the firing at us, saving what was left of the transports from certain doom.

"Wow…" Was all I could say as Tyler was purely speechless, being completely wrong about Holdo's intentions.

"Thank goodness for Holdo's actions, she just took down a ton of First Order forces for us." Grandpa Blu said.

"No offense sir, but even with Holdo's actions, they still very much outnumber us and I think we just made them more upset." I pointed out as the First Order fleet was in slight disarray from Holdo's ramming move.

As the few transports that were left headed on down to the abandoned rebel base on Crait, I knew the First Order were following hot on our tails, obviously knowing where we were going and looking for revenge for destroying a good portion of their fleet. I knew this might very well be the Resistance's last stand, and I was in fact going to die on the very planet where my life got started inside my mother's womb. At least it was going to be dying putting up a fight, just like my parents so many years ago…

And I'll end it off on there!

A shorter chapter, but I wanted to save Arthur and Tyler being on Crait's surface and of course the last stand of the Resistance for a new chapter.

Also, the next thing you might see may not be the next chapter to this story, but my thing for Thanksgiving, so look froward to that!

And with that…

See everybird later!
