I like the dichotomy that Jyn, the elder of the two, is the one full of doubt whereas 19 year old Leia is the wise, confident one offering advice.  The disparity in stations between the two is forgotten as they connect with shared concerns.

Good match up with Jyn and R2.  It seems a natural pairing  Smiley

I'm still wondering how Krennic survived.  I hope we get that answer  Wink


Ditto this!
I thought it was so wasteful to end rogue one with Jyn dead, could've done so much in the Canon, like a comic book series or something and definitely put them with Leia/Like and co.
Here you give a chance to see what that might look like!
Also some of your scenes with Cassian and Jyn...the romantic connection is palpable!

Totally agree with LSG.  I am particularly intrigued by the new future you've given some very compelling characters.  :-)  It was annoying to see them die at the end of Rouge One, and while I kind of understand why they did it, it wasn't really necessary and it cut off a HUGE potential for future stories, even more movies set in that time-line.  I know the Sith/Jedi aspect is THE story of Star Wars, but the Rebellion was wide-spread.  I could easily see Jyn and Cassian leading the Ring Buster mission or doing espionage on Sullust before the attack on Endor.  So many possibilities.  :-)

That is ironic, isn't it? Especially since Leia is a leader of the Rebellion even though she is a couple years younger than Jyn 😂

Krennic 😏 you'll get the answers in a couple more chapters to go, dearie.

Having finished Star Wars Battlefront 2's single player campaign story just yesterday, there are several planets involved after the Battle of Endor, so I feel like it will be too much to handle. Besides, since Krennic is SOMEHOW alive in this story again, this makes Jyn and Cassian's place in the war a more personal vendetta rather than being in the battlefront like any regular Rebel infantry. And I like it personal. It helps me focus on the main characters primarily.

Ditto this!

Well, 007 Casino Royale does serve as the basis and inspiration of the love story between Jyn and Cassian in this story 😉

HB1, just FYI: you can break chapters up and post 2-3 at a time (if needed)  Smiley

That's what I had to do with one of my chapters  Cheesy


Very playful chapter and a welcome respite from the seriousness of the previous one.  The tonal shift is perfect, especially since you utilize the three droids for what they should be: good comedic characters.  It's also nice to see Jyn "let loose."  Goodness knows that she (and Cassian) have been through the proverbial ringer  Smiley

I like Jyn's friendly wager with Cassian.  The attachment kind of reminds me of a "bump-stock:" it allows the blaster to essentially become an automatic weapon.  But the results on the target dummies is great!

One thing I really applaud you for: the romantic interaction between the two.  And as young lovers, they're still a bit tentative with their feelings.  It's both beautiful and realistic: often times, two people in a relationship will take some time to truly open up fully to one another.  Cassian's fear is preventing that.  Well done!

Until next installment friends  Smiley

Author's Note: (Awww. I personally love this chapter.)  Cheesy

Chapter 23: A New Ability

Jyn’s eyes couldn’t shift anywhere else, because her gaze is fixed on the old silver hilt and the purple kyber crystal on her desk. Jyn stands there, right in front of her desk with her arms crossed, with her brain searching for possible answers as to why the lightsaber was abandoned and disassembled underneath a pile of rubbish. Jyn kept thinking hard for clues, but no luck. The broader question Jyn kept wondering was: Who did the lightsaber belong to? Jyn had yet to figure out the mystery behind it, though, there was a likely chance she wouldn’t ever solve the question. Jyn had heard stories about the Jedi when she was a little girl, back when she and her parents were settled in the care of the Galactic Empire sometime after the end of the Clone Wars.

But, at least what mattered is that she scavenged parts of a lightsaber from one of the most unusual of places.

A thought came to Jyn’s mind: the base did have a technology & weapons laboratory in the upper floor of her pyramid-shaped building. If she could just spend some time there trying to build & repair the lightsaber, she could develop herself a new weapon to her arsenal.

But was Jyn suitable for that type of weapon?

She wasn’t really Force sensitive. She was no Jedi. She never trained in the Jedi arts, because she didn’t have that strong enough of the Force within her. She couldn’t levitate objects at will. She couldn’t tap into people’s mind with Jedi mind tricks. Though, she was one with the Force after her death. However, Jyn could feel the Force surging through her completely, especially when she was by Cassian’s side all the time.

“You don’t have to be a Jedi to hit someone with a lightsaber.” Jyn thought, looking up at the ceiling with her fingers rubbing her chin in deep thought.

Yes, that is true indeed. A non-Jedi, like Jyn, Cassian, Leia, and many others, could easily pick up a lightsaber and hold it in their hands, as any other Jedi would easily & simply do so. The only difference, Jyn figures, is that she didn’t have Force powers to use in the offensive against enemies. But it was alright, Jyn thought, because it wasn’t like she was anything special. She was just a regular person, just like Cassian and all those other Rebels in the entire Rebel Alliance.

Perhaps, she could just have a lightsaber with her for extreme situations.

Suddenly, Jyn feels a strong force surrounding her. She could feel it so well that she knows what was about to occur. She closes her eyes and takes deep, subtle breaths, breathing the tension out of her system. And before she knew it, she opened her eyes to find the Force spirits of her parents, Galen & Lyra, standing in front of her.

“Mother. Father.” Jyn says, with a slight smile.

“Hello, our dear Stardust.” Galen returns the greeting with a small smile of his own.

“We see you’re holding up pretty well with this Rebellion.” Lyra says, scanning her eyes on Jyn from head to toe. She has her hands crossed in front of her waist on the red sash she wore with her brown & beige robes.

“It’s much better than prison, for sure.” Jyn says cleverly, lifting one of the sides of the brown vest that she wore over her gray jacket.

Galen and Lyra both chuckles as they look at each other. They’ve watched from the afterlife how Jyn adjusted to life as a Rebel on her own, with Cassian as her man, her partner. And they were happy to see that. “That’s good, sweetheart. That’s good.” Galen says, before his smile fades.

And Jyn notices, so her smile fades as well, because she knows her parents were about to have a conversation with her.

“We sense a great deal of fear and worry in you, Jyn. It’s troubling you lately, and it has something to do about Captain Andor. Correct me if I’m wrong.” Galen declares, keeping eye contact with his young brunette daughter standing before him.

And Galen knew it, because Jyn turns away to break from the eye contact to face the other direction. Galen and Lyra look at each other with concern, then focus their attention back to their daughter. “I’m scared for him…” Jyn says.

Lyra takes a step forward. “And we’re scared for you. Both of you.”

Jyn then turns to face her parents again, with her hand on her hip. Lyra continues on. “We’re here to tell you that you don’t have to be afraid. Your family will protect you, and they will do everything in their power to do the best they can for you and Captain Andor. Believe me, Jyn. Be strong for him just as I was strong for you and your father.” Lyra tells Jyn, looking at her husband with a small smile.

Jyn nods to acknowledge & absorb her mother’s words of comfort.

“But we’re also here to tell you to be careful, because we feel something deep, and something big, will be coming the Rebellion’s way in the future.” Galen warns, much to Jyn’s concern. She takes a couple of steps towards her parents.

“Why? What will happen, father?” Jyn asks as she frowns.

“I don’t know, but I sense that it is something terrible. Far more terrible than my creation.” Galen says. He now looks down at the floor in dismay.

Jyn looks down at the floor, dismayed as well. “More terrifying than….the Death Star…?” Jyn whispers quietly to herself.

“Jyn, whatever happens, Orson must be a priority target. And I know how personal this is for you & Captain Andor. Don’t let the darkness cloud your faith, Stardust.” Galen finishes.

Jyn then shifts her attention to her mother as Lyra approaches her. Jyn raises her hand, and Lyra grabs ahold of her hand, even though Jyn isn’t able to feel her mother’s physical touch.

“Trust the Force, Jyn.” Lyra tells her daughter. “May the Force be with you…” Lyra says with a smile as she and Galen fade away.

Jyn tries her best to keep her emotions stable, because she wants to vent out the anxiety and worry out of her body now. She paces back and forth in her quarters, shifting her eyes from the floor, to the lightsaber hilt & kyber crystal, and vice versa repeatedly.

Suddenly, Jyn could feel that her chest was burning hot. “Ah!” Jyn exclaims. She looks down and sees that the kyber crystal she wore around her neck is glowing very bright, and it is warming up. Jyn could feel a strong force looming the air in her room. Her heart keeps a rapid beat. Her breaths become shallower. Somehow, her mind keeps shifting from distress to tranquility, and back. She didn’t know what was happening to her.

But after a long moment, Jyn could feel something very strong in the room, and it was coming from behind her. A very bright purple glow came from her desk.

Jyn’s eyes widen, and she gasps loudly at what she sees.

((()))

Cassian is in the lower floors, helping a few Rebels store away a shipment of crates containing food & supplies in the storage area. But Cassian jumps unexpectedly when he hears his commlink go off on his wrist. It was Jyn calling out to him loudly.

“C-C-Cassian! Come up here, now! Hurry!” Jyn yells, sounding distressed.

With confusion and worry rushing in him, Cassian’s eyes widen as he brings his commlink wrist bracelet to his mouth and responds. “What!? O-Okay! I’m coming!”

The Intelligence Officer excuses himself to the other Rebels and swiftly runs to a nearby elevator.

Eventually, Cassian arrives at Jyn’s quarters, where he examines the room. And when he sees that it’s only Jyn, he sighs a big sigh of relief as he rests a hand on his abdomen. “What’s wrong, Jyn?”

Jyn stays silent for a brief moment to gaze into Cassian’s chocolate brown eyes. Cassian stares at her, waiting for a reply. “Close the door.” She whispers to him. Unsure as to why she is being secretive at this moment, hence her whispering and her urgent call, Cassian pushes a button on the wall-mounted control pad behind him to close Jyn’s quarters door, and he approaches her so that they were an arm’s length from each other. “Cassian….watch this.”

Cassian furrows his brows in curiosity as they both turn to face Jyn’s desk. Jyn’s A180 hand blaster lay on the surface of the desk.

Just out of nowhere, the A180 pulls right in to Jyn’s gun holster strapped to her right thigh by an invisible entity.

Jyn turns to face Cassian, and she gazes up at Cassian into his brown eyes, trying to search for whether he had approval or disapproval. Cassian’s jaw dropped, and he was wide-eyed, because he was both amazed and confused by what Jyn had done.

Jyn has just discovered a supernatural ability.

Cassian looks down at Jyn in confusion. “Y-You….the Force….how!?” He asks, struggling to develop a stable, clear question.

“I’m not a Jedi, Cassian. But I think I have the Force in me.” Jyn tries to explain while keeping her forest-green eyes locked with his chocolate brown eyes full of confusion. “I was speaking with my parents’ Force ghosts. Then, I was able to do…that.”

Cassian could do nothing but stay silent and try to assess what he has just seen from his young 21-year-old lover. After a brief moment, he asks away. “….How long?”

Jyn blinks, gathering the courage to explain to Cassian. “When I was a little girl, before my mother was killed…she gave me the kyber crystal necklace. You know, the thing that brought us back. She always told me to trust the Force. But, mostly, I never believed in it until our raid on Scarif. I don’t have Jedi powers, Cassian. At least, not right now. But, I can only lift things at will, and I hope it is just only that.”

Cassian still didn’t have any words to say. He places his hands on his hips and turns away from Jyn, placing his thoughts elsewhere. Jyn gets worried about what Cassian was thinking of her. Was he thinking that she was keeping this from him all this time? Was Jyn going to become more dangerous than she already is now that she has this Force ability? Or was Jyn going to be safe with her secret power and use it for offensive means?

Was it going to affect their relationship?

Cassian sighs a big sigh of relief, and he smiles. Because, no matter what, he accepted Jyn for who she was, what she was. He believed that nothing will ever change his love for her, even though if it was just a Force ability that Jyn developed out of the blue. He knew it could help both of them in the battlefield. Cassian turns to Jyn.

“Cassian…?” Jyn asks his name, with her eyes still gazing up at him with concern.

From his powerful, unconditional love for Jyn, Cassian places one hand on her cheek, and wraps the other arm around her waist. He locks his eyes with the forest-green eyes that was searching for his approval of her. “I don’t mind a little Force.” He says softly & happily.

Jyn’s heart aches in a way that it releases all the tension built up in her system, and she sighs relief through her nostrils. She wraps both of her hands around Cassian’s hand, which rests on her cheek, and she presses her cheek firmly against his hand in an affectionate act. Her eyes close, for she is relieved that her Captain accepts her Force ability and that he has faith in who she is, and in what she has in her.

Chapter 24: Infiltrators

Jyn twirls the wrench in her hand, humming a tune while watching Cassian load things into their U-Wing. They are outside of the hangars, where they have a clear view of the tall, enormous pyramid-shaped structure in front of them. Cassian knew they were getting close to finding out what the Empire’s next move is, and he took the liberty of prepping their U-Wing ship with the necessary field supplies. Though, only Cassian was doing the task himself, while Jyn just sat on the metal crate behind him, twirling & staring at the wrench in her hand.

“I always wondered why you like this ship.” Jyn mentions after a couple of minutes. Cassian turns to her after wiping a drip of sweat off his brow, and he shrugs his shoulders.

“I just like it, okay?” Cassian replies instantly, raising his voice slightly. Jyn tries her best to hold in a laugh because she knew Cassian was becoming stressed in the heat of Yavin 4’s weather that particular day, and he wanted to complete the tasks as soon as possible.

“There’s got to be a reason why, Captain.” Jyn says, trying to aggravate him further to her amusement.

After throwing a bag of medical supplies into a small storage compartment in the cabin of the U-Wing, Cassian swiftly turns to Jyn with an annoyed face. “It looks good. Is that good enough!?”

Jyn laughs as Cassian sighs in frustration. “Whatever you say, Cassian.” Jyn says, though she knew Cassian had more reasons to like the U-Wing.

Cassian now lays on the ground flat on his back, so that he can get a clear view of the underside of the U-Wing. Noticing some errors that need to be fixed, Cassian points to the toolbox that is next to Jyn. “Can you hand me those pliers?”

Grabbing the pliers from the toolbox and holding it up, Jyn pauses for a moment. “…..Magic word.” She then says, biting her lip to try to hold in a laugh.

Cassian clenches a fist, for the frustration was building up already. “PLEASE.” He says loudly, indicating his seriousness.

Jyn couldn’t help but let out the chuckle, and she hands Cassian the pliers. “So…have you ever flown in one of those things?” She asks, turning her head towards one of the fighter aircrafts just about yards away from them.

Wondering which aircraft Jyn is referring to, Cassian pulls out some bolts & nuts from under the U-Wing before glancing at her a quick moment. “Which one?”

“That one.” Jyn points at the starfighter. It is a gray starfighter with scarlet stripes on its sides and its wings. Its wings were shaped like an X, and it had an astromech service droid mounted right behind the cockpit.

Cassian shifts his gaze over to the starfighter that Jyn was pointing at. He sees it, and stares at it for a brief moment. “T-65B X-Wing.”

“Mhhmmm.” Jyn says in reply.

Cassian nods before refocusing on the repairs he was performing underneath his U-Wing. “Once or twice.”

Jyn thought for a moment. She has only seen the X-Wings upon her first arrival to the Rebellion as a captured prisoner/criminal, and she has also seen them in action on Eadu, where one of the missiles from an X-Wing killed her father. ‘They’re surprisingly faster than the U-Wing.’ Jyn thought. And that reminded her of the memories when she was 16 years old, when she was always constantly flying in the skies to escape from the grasps of the Empire. One of those flying moments was one that will forever remain in her heart, and that was the memory of flying with Hadder Ponta, her deceased former lover, her very first true love. Back when he was still alive, he wanted to learn to fly like a fighter pilot, all so that he could be a rebel in a huge cause, though Jyn already experienced being a rebel before he wanted to, and it was painful for her at the time. But, she couldn’t force him to not go. However, he decided to stay with her, because he loved her that much, until his and his mother’s deaths, leaving Jyn alone and single for the years up until the day she met Cassian, the day she agreed to join the Rebellion.

Though, Jyn never flew an X-Wing, nor taken down any Imperial aircraft in a dogfighting-capable aircraft, she was very interested in flying one, and she hoped she could use one to swat those TIE fighters out of the skies like insects. She felt that could serve as a form of revenge for Hadder’s death, since it was really the Empire’s fault that caused it.

“Take me.” Jyn says softly, keeping her gaze locked to the X-Wing.

After successfully installing new hardware under the U-Wing, Cassian stands up on his feet and sighs a breath of relief. “We will, soon, Jyn. We will. Just me and you.” Cassian says back, tossing the pliers aside and approaching his Sergeant. Both of them were at eye level, since the crate Jyn sat on had enough height to bring their eyes level as Cassian stood in front of her.

“Me and you, hm?” Jyn says on a manner that made her attractive to Cassian, and she crosses a leg over the other, and she crosses one forearm over the other, resembling a youthful girl’s sitting position.

Cassian smiles as his lips were right in front of hers. “Me and you. Yes.” He says in a seductive tone, and he lunges his lips forward to plant a deep, loving kiss to Jyn’s lips, and she reciprocates them. Jyn wraps her arms around Cassian’s wet, sweaty waist, though she didn’t mind. They knew some Rebels around them were looking and giving looks of disgust, but they both didn’t mind, because they were inseparable, and that’s how much they were in love with each other, even if it’s just kissing in the middle of the hot, sunny, afternoon.

Suddenly, Jyn and Cassian broke away from their kiss, and they shifted their attentions towards the interior of the hanger near them. They heard loud screams, and they could see a group of Rebels struggling with something. All of the Rebels’ attention is focused on the commotion going on inside. Curious, Jyn hops off the crate, and she & Cassian jog to the hangar to see what incident is taking place.

Their eyes widen when they see that the Rebels were detaining two Imperials dressed in gray clothes.

Yes. Imperials. In the Rebel base.

They have been infiltrated.

((()))

“How did you get in our base!?” Cassian yells at the Imperial infiltrators, who were both cuffed with their arms behind the chairs, in a cell in the brig. Jyn, K-2SO, General Draven, Leia, and Mon Mothma were standing watch as well.

“Does it really matter how we got in here!? We’re here, and that’s all that mattered! What do you want!?” The Imperial says.

Cassian steps in so that his face is a foot away from the Imperial’s face. Cassian could feel the hate building up in his blood. “We already know you are with the Empire! Tell us, who sent you here!?”

The Imperial spat on the ground. “I’m not telling you anything, rebel scum!”

With the anger rushing to his head, Cassian delivers a strong punch to the Imperial captive’s face. Mon Mothma, Leia, and Jyn wince at the scene though…

“TELL ME!” Cassian yells at the top of his lungs after grabbing the man’s gray shirt.

“Doesn’t matter! You’ll all be dead soon enough!” The other Imperial says, glaring at Cassian and the others standing behind him.

General Draven takes a step forward, and he holds up a datapad showing some tracking data of the small pod that the Imperial infiltrators arrived on the planet with. “Our data shows that your pod was launched from an Imperial shuttle freighter. There is most likely a key person there that sent you to do this sneaking around. Tell us where you came from, and who sent you! We might even consider sparing your lives if you cooperate with us.”

Jyn makes a quick glance at Draven, giving him a glare from his left that he didn’t notice.

“Screw all of you! You traitors! Those against the Empire deserve to die!” The other Imperial yells at Cassian’s face.

Seeing that they aren’t getting anywhere with the absurd responses from these Imperials, Cassian takes out his A280 hand blaster, and he points it at the Imperial in front of him. Cassian pulls the trigger, and the bright red flash of the blaster bolt exits the gun, and plows it way through the Imperial man’s thigh, causing him to scream in pain and agony.

And the moment Jyn, Leia, and Mon Mothma saw this, all three women gasp and wince at the sight of Cassian shooting the man’s leg. The Captain now turned to torture to get information.

“TELL ME NOW!!! TELL ME NOW, DAMN IT!!!!” Cassian yells out of fury as he grabs the Imperial man by the collar of his shirt and pressing the barrel of his A280 hand blaster against his head. The other Imperial now is scared to say anything back because he now got fear introduced into him upon seeing his friend being shot.

Jyn steps in, looking at Cassian. “Cassian…”

Cassian ignores Jyn and continues to interrogate the men. “YOU’D BETTER TELL ME NOW!”

“O-O-OKKKAAAYYYY! O-OKAY! WE’RE FROM A WEAPONS FACILITY ON PLANET SADON!” The scared Imperial finally confesses as he watches in horror: his friend continues to scream from the blaster shot to his thigh, to the bone. “W-we’re…organizing weapons for this…this new project. I don’t know what it’s called. But they’re very valuable equipment. That’s all we know!”

With that information, Cassian releases his grasp on the screaming man’s collar and points his blaster down at the floor, and he takes a few steps back. The Captain sighs in relief as he looks over at Jyn, who stares back directly into his eye. He sees that Jyn’s face shows no signs of reaction. And the moment he enjoys the sight of the beautiful face in his sight, only one thing came to mind…

Protect the ones you cherish.

Cassian’s grip on his hand blaster tightens. He could feel the anger surging through his veins instantly. In the blink of an eye, Cassian faces the two Imperial infiltrators, and he raises his A280 hand blaster and blasts both men’s heads, killing them both instantly on the spot, dead.

The women gasp, while General Draven glares at Cassian.

“What in the hell, Captain Andor!?” Mon Mothma exclaims while Leia covers her mouth, horrified at the sight.

General Draven glares at Cassian with his hands on his hips. “Why did you kill them, Captain!? They could’ve had more information, and you killed them! What’s the matter with you!?”

It then became silent in the cell for a long minute. Eventually, Leia decides to speak to break the looming silence in the brig cell. “It was unusual for a Rebel to do that…” Leia says, looking down at the floor. She knew what happened when someone did such acts. It led to the dark side: the dark side of the Force.

However, Cassian ignores their comments. He holsters his A280 hand blaster, and he looks at everyone in the eye. “We have what we need. It’s already enough.” He says in such a dark tone that Jyn thought there was something very different about Cassian, about the way he handled the situation. She’s never seen him do anything like it before. However, she has witnessed worse actions than that in the past, and this wasn’t anything new to her. She wasn’t terrified. But it only concerned her about Cassian…

Cassian leaves the brig cell, leaving Draven, Leia, Mothma, Jyn, and K-2SO speechless together in there. General Draven looks at Jyn, who looks at him too. They both had looks of concern on their faces, and they felt awkward about what had just went down in front of their eyes. “Keep an eye on him, Erso.” Draven commands Jyn. And without question, she nods and leaves the cell.

((()))

Suddenly, the P.A. speakers rang out with an announcer’s voice, and he had important information to relay to all Rebels and personnel in the Rebel base. “ATTENTION. REBEL INTELLIGENCE HAS JUST CONFIRMED OF AN IMPERIAL WEAPONS TRANSPORTATION OPERATION TAKING PLACE ON PLANET SADON. THIS IMPERIAL ACTIVITY MUST BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY! THIS MISSION IS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! PREPARE FOR DEPLOYMENT!”

With the end of the announcement, voices and sounds of aircraft rang out through the other Rebel bases on Yavin 4. Jyn, Cassian, and K-2SO stand in front of their U-Wing as they look around them and watch all the Rebels prepping their equipment for the impromptu mission. It seems the Rebels in the intelligence units from the other planets have gathered sufficient intel about major Imperial activity, and it was extremely consistent with the information that the Imperial infiltrator revealed before he was shot dead by Cassian. Jyn has a look of concern on her face as Cassian looks down at her, gazing into her forest-green eyes with uncertainty.

“Weapons operation!?” Jyn asks.

Cassian nods, and the two Rogue One members knew exactly what the other was thinking: there may be a chance that Orson Krennic could be there at that Imperial weapons facility, running that weapons transportation activity, since weapons is Krennic’s specialty.

“Krennic…” Jyn says softly.

Hearing the name of the man who poses a serious danger to them, Cassian places a hand on Jyn’s shoulder to comfort her. “If he’s there, we’ll catch him. We got him the first time, we can do it again.” He assures his Sergeant, and this helps forms a smile on Jyn’s lips as she boards their U-Wing. Cassian and K-2SO follow her in to the cabin, bringing their blasters in their arms.

“Rogue One, launch.” Cassian prepares for lift off shortly after they strapped themselves in to their seats. The U-Wing, as well as a squadron of X-Wings and several transportation shuttles, take off into the atmosphere, where they prepare for hyperspace to the planet Sadon.

Good job on chapter 24 really brings out the other side of Cassian - it's one you see when he kills the informed at the start of rogue one so glad that aspect has made a strong reappearance, interested to see how it effects the relationship that is the heart of your series. Also I have to wonder re June slight force powers and how that relates to her necklace Crystal...some fascinating paths you could go down there too.

LSG brings up some good points: Cassian's resolve to protect Jyn (and the rebels) is shown in his stalwart determination...and his unflinching choice to do what is necessary.  Well written!  You had Cassian stand by the courage of his convictions, bravo!

I like Jyn's developing Force sensitivity.  Perhaps a byproduct of the resurrection from the kyber crystal?  Nevertheless, it's good context within the narrative. And I am still wondering about Krennic  Wink

BTW is the planet Sad on canon? Just curious  Wink

I don't know of any planets outside the ones seen in the current 7 movies & Battlefront 2015/2017. So just almost every planet you see in this story is just original, made up.

Stick around for the next chapter, because you'll find your answer about Krennic there 😁

Chapter 25: Archenemies

(The thread won't let me paste the chapter on here because the character length exceeds 20,000 characters. So here is the link to the chapter published on FanFiction.Net. I think it's a great chapter, and it took me a long several hours to write it, but it's a QUALITY chapter! Hopefully this answers some questions! Enjoy the read, enjoy the adventure!)

Chapter 26: A Legendary Weapon

(Here is the link to Chapter 26, published on FanFiction site. I might start posting the links because I think it's easier & makes the chapters much more readable.)

Hey HB1, still working my way through 25 and 26, but I feel you on not knowing about Star Wars canon (or Legends "canon" for that matter).  Just wanted to suggest Wookiepedia.  Its a the fan wiki for all things star Wars, and much of it is divided into Canon (relating to movies, TV, and video games) and Legends (the stuff from the novels and other sources that are not canon but still can be very useful).  Just thought I'd mention it.  Sometimes you can find a LOT of info there, even to much, but its a great way to make your story richer.  :-)

And I like this story!  Its been said, but I was very disappointed that they cast these characters away.  They almost had to, to explain why they didn't appear in Ep IV, but even then it would have been nice if at least Jyn and Cassian and maybe a couple of the others had survived.  Would have made a really cool Star Wars "spin off".

:-)
