Part 3 Changelog:

  • Luke mentions that Rey should create something new instead of becoming a Jedi. This harmonizes well with the ending of my TROS novel where the Jedi Order is renamed to the Skywalker Order. Not to mention that Kylo proposes a similar thing later on in the story.
  • Luke mentions a “vicious cycle”. I want to emphasize the idea that Luke believes this cycle of dark times followed light times and vice versa will never end, thus why he believes removing the Jedi from the equation will balance things out.
  • The original novel never makes it clear that Finn left the bridge before it exploded. I corrected this.
  • Removed useless Rose thoughts that went on for paragraphs (especially since I’m removing the Rebellion ring)
  • Holdo mentions “security concerns” that currently prevent her from sharing information about her plan. She calls Poe “a separate security concern” due to his recklessness.
  • Tweaked the Chewbacca scene that felt (at least to me) to be blatantly advocating veganism. Not that I have a thing against vegans, but I’d prefer for this to simply be a funny moment.
  • Modified some of Finn’s new dialogue that felt like it didn’t belong. “Oh my God” doesn’t belong in Star Wars.
  • Made Rose’s thought process about hyperspace tracking be based on theoretical and experimental knowledge. She identifies it as one possible explanation.
