Chapter 3 Changelog:
- Kept the holochess game where it is. The ending of this novelization will be a moment between Rey and Ben, so I don’t want Chewie, Finn, and Poe to come along.
- Streamlining of descriptions, most inspired by Captain Faraday
- Removed the paragraph where it’s implied Finn harbors romantic feelings for Rey. He cares for her as a friend. Don’t want his heart to be broken when Rey doesn’t chose him in the end haha.
- Made it clear what the First Order’s plan was with Boolio. They knew he was helping the Resistance, but they were waiting for an unknown/non-routine vehicle to approach the mining colony before they attacked so they could get some actual Resistance members, too.
- Removed lightspeed skipping. I considered trying to make it work but it would require tons of descriptions regarding lightspeed-capable TIEs and hyperspace tracking (which for some reason the original novel ignores).
- Moved Kylo reforging his mask to the another chapter, replaced with the da bois returning to Ajan Kloss
- Rey is pouring over the Jedi texts to find peace, which she feels will make the visions go away
- Rey begins to wonder if perhaps she is already too far gone since Luke won’t speak to her but he will to Leia
- Finn clarifies that R2 contains a message (Palpy’s) and a report on some planet (Exegol)
