*This is a re-imagining of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, keeping only the preexisting titles, and some character names, though even those names may be reworked. Enjoy! Thirty+ years after the destruction of the second Death Star, and twenty-five years after the final battle of the Empire, the galaxy is now ruled over by the New Republic. Han and Leia Solo serve as heads of the new government, C3P0, R2D2 and Lando Calrissian as ambassadors, and Luke Skywalker as the head of the New Jedi Order. But something went wrong. Twelve years prior, the son of Han and Leia turned to the Darkside at the hands of a new and dark force. Luke, desperate to save their son, dispersed the new Jedi order across the galaxy in hopes of finding the new leader of the Sith Order. But when Luke learns the truth, he is so horrified, he goes into self-imposed exile. Now, in the present, the Force has gone into overload, and everyone and anyone who is even slightly Force-sensitive becomes very powerful in their abilities. Desperate for answers, Rey (Han and Leia's younger daughter), goes out in search with a small group of misfits, hoping to find Luke and put a stop to everything before a new Galactic Civil War breaks out.
