Chapter 7: The Last Jedi


On Crait, Poe and what was left of his squadron barely made it into the base.

Finn and Rose rushed over.

"What happened?"

"They wiped them out, everyone, we're all that's left." Poe said shaking.

The men in the hanger were shaking.

General Madine came in.

"Alright, everyone to me. We're not giving up this base, the First Order will break upon us like a wave against the shore. We'll beat them back again and again until they have no fight left in them."

Poe met with Madine and Leia in the command center with a general from the republic remnant, from the Hapes consortium, and the separatists.

"We have a layered defense, trench lines, artillery." Madine said.

"We have a new weapon we've been developing, a ground based proton torpedo launcher, it can bore through incredibly heavy armor." The Hapes general said.

"They'll definitely come with Walkers, if we put those on our speeders , they could hit the more vulnerable undersides." Madine said.

Leia saw Poe still shaking.

"Poe." She said as he turned to her.

"Are you still with us?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Good, because I need you leading those speeders."

"I can do that."

"Send the droids in first for a corner attack, the rest of the soldiers will wait in the trench lines." Madine said.

"And air support?"

"We don't have any." Poe said.

"I'm sorry we asked you all to come here." Leia said.

"I'd rather die fighting than cowering." The republic general said.

Poe, Rose, Finn, and Chewie went through the base.

"How did come to this?" Poe asked.

"We can hold them off." Rose said.

"Without a fleet , not indefinitely." Poe said.

"We still have one hope left, she'll come, I know she will." Finn said as they got to the speeder hanger and saw the V-4X-D Ski speeders being modified with new weapons.

"We're going to use those things?" Finn asked.

BB-8 rolled up to Poe.

"Yep."

General Madine was out in the third trench line as he saw thousands of grey battle droids marching forward across the front trench.

"The Hapes troopers are in the front trench, the republic troops in the second, our troops in the third." One of his majors said.

Madine then heard something, the ground shaking as the Resistance general took out some electronic binoculars.

His eyes widened as he saw seven AT-AT's and three AT-M6's.

The First Order army approached the Resistance Base with general Hux in the cockpit of the lead AT-M6.

"All troops this is General Hux, our new emperor has declared that we are to leave no quarter to these traitors and murderers. We slaughter them to the last man and get justice for the chaos, death, and destruction they have sewed in the galaxy. The Resistance ends today!"

"To your stations!" Madine shouted as the soldiers got into the trenches and the guns.

The droids began firing into the First Order tanks to no effect.

The Hapes troops in the first trench began to shake in fear as they saw the walkers begin firing into the droid formations, tearing them to pieces, the topside guns on the M6's ripping through entire lines as the head guns blew apart groups at a time.

Several Tie fighters came down and began strafing the droids, the entire division now in ruins.

"We need help!" The Hapes general shouted before Poe got into his speeder.

"We're on our way." He said as over a dozen speeder launched from the base.

The last of Poe's pilots among them, Finn, Rose, and Chewie also piloting them.

Finn nearly crashed as he struggled to drive straight.

"Let's go." Poe said before Rose saw the Tie fighters approaching them.

"Incoming!"

The speeders began to divert their patterns as the First Order fighters strafed across the trenches, killing dozens and destroying two speeders.

The guns on the ground tried firing back, but the fighters were too fast.

"Come on." Finn shouted as a Tie fighter flew down at him.

Moments later the fighter was blown apart.

Finn and the others looked up to see the Millennium Falcon over them.

"Rey!" Finn shouted as Chewie roared.

Rey was in the cockpit with R2.

"Sorry we're late." She said as R2 beeped in excitement.

Rey shot down another two fighters as Hux saw them.

"Shoot down that freighte-" Hux started before.

"Anyone who tried to shoot that ship is a dead man!" Tratha shouted over the com link.

Hux tightened his grip.

"All fighters break off."

"Keep your distance but stay with the ship, I want to know where it goes!" Kylo shouted over the com link.

Rey lead the tie fighters away as they kept back to avoid its guns.

On the ground the speeders moved closer to the incoming First Order vehicles.

Several AT-ST mark II's appeared around them.

"Incoming speeders, they likely want to draw our attention from the trenches, AT-AT's destroy them, AT-M6's kill those terrorists in the trenches."

The Hapes soldiers and the artillery guns near the trench began firing into the walkers to no effect.

The walkers began firing into the trench and guns, entire groups of Hapes soldiers getting blown apart as their guns were also blown apart.

"Those walkers are getting close!" The Hapes general shouted.

Poe and the other speeders flew over the trench before one was blown apart by the nearest walker.

"Hit the closest one." Poe said as he flew towards it.

The AT-AT fired at him, but Poe maneuvered away, his closest companion getting hit and destroyed.

"Come on." Poe said as Chewie and his old wingman came at the walker, going under it at the same time as they each fired a proton torpedo at the underside.

The torpedoes crashed into the walker's underside, Hux seeing a massive explosion as the walker's front right leg fell off before the AT-AT crashed onto its side.

"Those speeders have proton torpedoes, don't let them near the walkers!" Hux shouted.

The Hapes soldiers shouted in excitement as they saw the nearest walker get destroyed, however, their excitement was dashed as a blast from an AT-M6 blew apart two more speeders and hit the trench as well.

The AT-M6 stood over the trench as it opened up, dozens of violet striped storm troopers coming down backed up by six AT-STs.

Arkorous also leapt down with his Twi'lek companion as well as two other Knights or Ren, one igniting a red lightsaber as the other held a pair of vibroswords.

Arkorous violently slashed through the Hapes soldiers, deflecting their yellow laser blasts and cutting their heads off, Arkorous lifting five up with the force before crushing them. The Twi'lek knight of Ren gunning down six that took aim at Arkorous.

The other two Knights of Ren did the same as they and the stormtroopers slaughtered the Hapes soldiers in the trench and the underground trench line.

"Retreat! Retrea-" The Hapes general started before the second lightsaber wielding Knight of Ren lifted the general up with the force before breaking his neck.

"Kylo, the first line is clear, the Hapes consortium is finished." Arkorous said.

Poe and the others grit their teeth as they fell back, the republic soldiers watching in horror as the Hapes soldiers were slaughtered to the last man, not a single one escaping.

The walkers continued moving forward as they began hitting the guns near the second trench.

"Come on, we can do this!" Finn shouted as the second nearest AT-AT fired at the speeders, another two getting hit and destroyed.

Finn gave an intense look as he and Rose sped at it.

"This is for my sister!" Rose shouted as they avoided the fire before getting under the walker and firing up, the torpedoes blowing through the underside before an internal explosion happened, the walker breaking into two peaces.

Two more speeders were destroyed as Hux's AT-M6 reached the second trench.

Thousands of republic soldiers firing at it to no effect, the M6 raking through the trench with its guns before the underside opened and a bolt of red force lightning turned over a dozen to dust.

Kylo leapt down before crashing into the trench, a pulse of dark force energy sending dozens of republic soldiers flying away.

Kylo ignited his lightsaber as Tratha, Marik, and Galek leapt down beside him.

The Knights of Ren began furiously cutting through the republic soldiers as thousands of 501st stormtroopers came down and joined them.

The 501st made short work of the republic soldiers, in some cases a single stormtrooper killing over an entire squad of republic soldiers.

Tratha moved with a particular fury as she mercilessly cut apart or crushed with the force any soldier she could get near.

Kylo lifted up a hundred men at a time with force grip before crushing their throats.

Madine and his men could see this, Madine's hand shaking.

"It's over!" One shouted.

"Every man for himself!"

Several Resistance soldiers simply running away.

"No! Stand your ground!" Madine shouted.

Hux smiled as he saw this.

"No disciple , an army of criminals, they show their true colors."

"Poe you need to take out that command walker for us to have a chance." Leia said over the com link.

"We're on it, all speeders to Hux's walker.

Hux saw the speeders converging on him.

"Fire on those speeders." Poe could see his speeders getting blown apart one by one as they got closer and closer.

"Come on, we can do this, we can do this. I won't fail again!" Poe shouted as they got under the AT-M6 and fired their proton torpedoes.

A great explosion was heard as they cleared the walker.

"Woah we got him!" Finn shouted as Chewie roared.

Rose turned as her smile turned to horror.

"Guys."

Poe and the others soon saw the AT-M6 standing where it was, looking as if it hadn't even been scratched.

Hux smiled inside the walker, not even shaken by the blasts, Leia and her officers in the command center almost shaking.

"They never learn do they." Hux said as the walkers unleashed a barrage into the remaining speeders, soon only five were left.

"Fall back!" Poe shouted.

"No! I'm not letting him win!" Finn shouted.

"There's nothing we can do." Rose said.

Finn lowered his head.

"Yes there is, I'm going to crash me speeder into that damn walker's head, I don't care what happens, just as long as I can kill that son of a gundark!" Finn shouted.

"Finn no!" Rose shouted.

"Finn you're not doing this, now get back to the base, that's an order!" Poe shouted before Finn took his headset off.

He turned his speeder around and flew at Hux's walker, avoiding the incoming fire.

He primed his torpedoes as he got closer.

He closed his eyes.

"I'm a soldier, this is what I was always meant to do." He said before he prepared to fly up.

However, another speeder crashed into his, the two tumbling down into the lower levels of the trenches as Finn coughed and got up.

He saw Rose laying in her cockpit injured.

"Rose!" he shouted coming over to her.

"What did you do!?"

"I saved you." She said.

"I could have gotten Hux."

Rey gave a sad look.

"What difference would it have made, they would still come."

"I, I had to do it."

Rose put her hand on Finn's cheek.

"Finn this war isn't going to end by us killing who we hate, only by saving who we love." She said before kissing him.

Finn was caught off guard as Rose fainted.

Finn lowering his head and tightening his grip around her necklace.

Leia made her way to the hanger where she saw Poe, Chewie, and his last pilot.

"The our last line is faltering, it won't hold."

The Resistance soldiers were shaking in fear.

"Oh my, I've looked over the schematics, it seems there is no other way out of this base." 3PO said.

Leia shook her head before she raised it. Leia slowly turning as she saw a figure in a black cloak approach.

Leia and the others' eyes widened as they saw him.

Chewie letting out a soft growl.

"Luke." Leia said as her brother came up in front of her.

"Leia." They were silent for a few moments.

"You look like you've had a few bad years." Leia said.

"A few."

"I can't say I've been doing much better."

"I'm sorry I left, I should have stayed, I shouldn't have failed Ben."

Leia teared up.

"My son is gone, I've known it for a long time."

Luke put his hand on Leia.

"Nobody's ever truly gone Leia." Luke said as Leia raised her head.

"Let me handle Ben."

Luke slowly walked as the soldiers stared at him in awe.

"Master Luke." 3PO said softly.

"3PO." He said before turning to Chewie.

"Old friend." Luke said before walking out of the hanger.

Kylo was out of the trench before he sensed him, Rey sensed him as well.

"Father." She said.

"Rey, find the Resistance, safe them." She heard.

"Father what are you doing?"

"Fulfilling my destiny."

Luke slowly approached the First Order as Kylo saw him.

"Hux, I want every gun we have to fire on that man!" He screamed as the walkers and stormtroopers unleashed a blinding wave of fire at Luke, the ground around him exploding in red salt before Luke emerged unscathed.

Hux almost shaking as the Knights of Ren came up behind Kylo.

"No, this is a distraction , slaughter the Resistance, he's mine!" Kylo roared as his look of hate came back. He turned to Tratha.

"Find our daughter. I will fulfill my destiny." He said.

General Madine and his men saw Luke in awe, those who ran now returning.

"Men, it's been an honor serving with you." He said as Tratha lead the knights of Ren beside Captain Phasma and her soldiers.

The Resistance soldiers screaming as they fought to the last man, but could not stop the stormtroopers, Galek lopping Madine's head off as those in the hanger watched.

"We're doomed." 3PO said.

"No, Luke and those men out there are holding them off. If we escape, hope lives, there has to be another way out!" Poe shouted.

Finn came in dragging Rose.

"Help!" He shouted as Chewie ran over and lifted Rose up in his arms.

BB-8 began beeping as Poe turned to him.

"What? What do you mean the foxes are gone. Wait a minute, the foxes are gone." Poe said before a soldier spotted a fox near a tunnel before running into it.

"After them!" Leia shouted.

Kylo approached Luke who looked at his nephew for the first time in years.

"Ben." He said seeing the hatred on Kylo's face.

"So , you've come to finish what you started on Ossus uncle. I'm not the same frightened boy I was then. This time I'm going to make sure you're dead!" Kylo shouted.

"Ben, I'm sorry, I failed you. I let Snoke corrupt your heart and soul, I allowed him to manipulate me and finish your fall to the dark side. But this is where I made it right." Luke said.

Kylo was fuming as he ignited his lightsaber again.

"Grhhaaaa!" He roared , sprinting at Luke before slashing at him. Luke held his bare hand up as Kylo's lightsaber bounced off it like Snoke's hand.

Kylo slashed again but Luke kept blocking them before thrusting his hand forward, Kylo getting hurled back as Hux and the rest of their army watched.

Kylo got up as he saw several bright lights form around Luke, Kylo seeing four copies of Luke appear, one having a blue lightsaber, one having a green, two having none.

Kylo charged at them knocking away the sabers from the two with them before using the dark side to resist the force strikes from the two without.

Kylo used the force to crush them before slashing around and under the other two copies, cutting both apart before he ran at Luke who lifted Kylo up before tossing him back.

Kylo was now glowing red with dark aura. His arms began to surge with red force lightning.

"Ben if you strike me down in hate, I will always be part of you, just like your father."

Kylo roared as he unleashed a storm of red lightning right into Luke, the blast going right through him and exploding behind the Jedi master.

Kylo saw Luke was unharmed and ran at him, slashing his lightsaber again only for it to go through Luke as if he were a hologram.

"What!?" Kylo shouted as Hux looked just as dumbstruck.

On Tython Luke was kneeling on the pedestal looking very tired as sweat ran down his forehead, he gasped for breath as he fell backwards and landed on the ground, the force projection of him vanishing as he tried to breath.

After killing the last of the Resistance soldiers in the final Trench, Tratha lead the knights and stormtroopers into the base, but it was empty.

The last of the Resistance members following the fox before they saw the exit blocked by rocks, the fox squeezing through a small gap.

"No no no!" Poe shouted.

Leia looked at the rocks as her men gave grim looks.

Leia's look changed as the rocks began to move.

The soldiers saw this in awe as they watched the rocks get moved away as Rey stood on the other side with R2.

"Sorry I'm late." Rey said.

"Rey!" Finn shouted as he sprinted over and hugged her.

"Finn you're back." She said.

"And you're a Jedi?"

"Yes." Rey said smiling.

"Now come on, we need to go." Rey said as she lead them to the Falcon which was waiting on the other side.

Leia caught up with Rey as the two stopped, sensing something.

On Tython, Luke felt more tired than he had ever felt before.

He tried to get up but had to hold himself against the pedestal.

As he looked up at the sunset he saw that a second sun was also there, the twin suns rising and falling together as Luke looked at them. He then saw what looked like a person with them, a familiar person, it was a man, a man with fair skin, blondish brown hair, and blue eyes. Luke's breathing slowed as the man smiled and extended his hand to Luke who let out a single tear reaching out with his robotic hand before closing his eyes.

Luke vanished into thin air, his hooded robe left behind as he became one with the force.

Rey, Leia ,and Kylo all felt this.

Despite feeling this, Rey and Leia got onto the Falcon as it lifted up and flew away from Crait.

Kylo and his army purged the base but could not find any trace of the Resistance. Tratha begging to break down again as Kylo felt his rage and hatred go beyond what he ever could have known.


The remaining Resistance soldiers could finally breath as they got out of danger.

Finn set Rose down in the medical cot as he looked at her.

Chewie with R2 in the cockpit and Poe with his last pilot.

He turned to Leia.

"This is it, a little over a dozen men and women."

Leia looked to Poe.

"The Resistance is gone." The men turning to Leia.

"Long live the Rebellion." Leia said as Poe smiled he and the men cheering.

Rey sat beside Leia, handing her Han's golden dice.

She teared up looking at them, Rey as well when she looked at the broken pieces of Luke's lightsaber.

"All my life I wanted a family, I had it, for a brief moment." Rey said.

"My family is gone, all of them." Leia said.

"No , there not." Rey said.

Leia hugged her.

"You're right, I still have you." Leia said.

Rey smiled.

"No. Not just me." Rey got up as Leia saw her come back with a baby, her eyes widening as she heard the baby.

Rey showed Leia Allana.

"Leia, meet your granddaughter, Allana." Leia teared up again as she took the baby and looked into her eyes.

She had to do everything jus to keep herself together.

"Ohhh, I'm never going let anything happen to you." She said hugging Allana.

Rey walked up to the cockpit and sat next to Chewie.

He growled asking where they should go.

Rey responded.


On another planet, several children and a young woman were setting up farming equipment as one spoke in a non galactic basic language. He was telling two others a story about a Jedi who saved the galaxy from the sith, who destroyed a moon of death, and saved another Jedi.

The young woman smiled as she came over.

"Alright, play time's over, come on, we need to get the seeds planted." She said as the one telling the story went to a crate and raised his hand at it, a farming tool flying to his hand before he looked at the stars and saw what looking like a shooting one, smiling as he aimed the tool at it.


The Millennium Falcon arrived on Tython, Rey landing it on the island as she left the ship with R2.

Rey held the pieces of the broken lightsaber as she made her way to the temple, entering her father's hut as she looked around and found his lightsaber, as well as another kyber crystal hidden inside one of his boxes.

Rey and R2 made their way to the pedestal where they saw Luke's cloak, R2 gave a very sad chirp as Rey held it, fighting back tears as she tightened her grip on the cloak.

Despite this, Rey breathed and found her inner peace. She sat down on the pedestal, not knowing that Maz, Leia, Poe, BB-8 Chewie, and Finn had followed her.

They were quite as Rey closed her eyes and knelt.

Luke's lightsaber lifted up on its own before it disassembled itself, the pieces landing on the pedestal as well as the remaining peaces from the broken lightsaber.

The others watched in amazement as Rey took the different pieces and using the force carefully began to assemble a new lightsaber from the pieces, they saw a new kyber crystal get placed in the center as Rey opened her eyes , seeing the completed lightsaber. Rey took it and then carefully put her father's cloak on , keeping the hood lowered as she raised her new lightsaber up with both hands and ignited it, the saber glowing cyan.

Around Rey she could see and feel the presence of three others. She turned to her right and saw her mother, to her left, her father, and in the center the man from her first vision.

All three smiling at her as they reached out to Rey who turned to the resistance and stood before them, the last Jedi.


Author's note

So that's it, how I would have done the Last Jedi, I saw the movie again but I'm still not sure if I like it or not. I feel Rian was trying to make his own movie instead of a sequel, which is a bad idea from the start, then you have bad humor that goes agains the tone, Fucking up Snoke, fucking up Phasma, but still I am interested in his new trilogy, hopefully it goes well for him

Now considering it will be probably two years before episode nine, I may write a short story to finish up the trilogy and then re-write it to match the movie when it comes out, as for my original version that I'll write now, it probably won't end like you think it will,then again that depends on what you think I'll do

In any case Allana will be a big point in the next one, and no I'm not saying Rey was justified in taking her, but this will be a point Rey will have to think about

So until next time,

Please review, comment, suggest or ask(VIA PM)

and once again, merry christmas
