Key changes: Leia forms Resistance as a response to FO,but has little support or funding from the New Republic. Poe isnt demoted, but detained for his disastrous attempt to destroy a Star Destroyer. Luke hands the lightsaber back and rejects her request to train her. He later trains her as Leia requested him to do so. Kylo damages the ship but doesn't fire on Leia. Hence no Mary Poppins stuff. The hyperdrive is damaged leaving them with no option but evacuate to Crait while defending FO attacks. Poe and Finn take Rose(a hacker) to the Supremacy to disable thier hyperdrive tracker. Hence no Canto Bight. Luke reveals he knew Ben was using the dark side of the force and tried confronting him about it, before Ben destroyed his academy and killed his students. Kylo reveals that Luke was afraid of him and tried to kill him and his mentors. He reveals that his mentors were Rey's parents,killed by Luke. Rey tries turning Kylo to light, but Snoke reveals his deception of Kylo by claiming he was Prime Jedi and tried to bring real balance to the force by using him. Kylo kills Snoke for betrayal.
