    This just in—Darth Plagueis will be portrayed by Joe Pesci, and Luke will transform into an X-Wing at the end to save the children after wishing on a shooting Death Star.

    29 years have passed since the destruction of the second Death Star.

    Movie opens with main character Finn being recruited by the Empire to become a stormtrooper. We watch Finn go from enthusiastic recruit to buyers remorse over a ten minute combat montage. The final straw for Finn comes when he and his squad are ordered to burn down a village filled with women and children.

    Finn decides to defect and busts out a captured rebel pilot named Poe to help him escape. They comandeer a TIE fighter, but the controls are foreign to Poe, and they crash land on the desert planet Tatooine.

    Enter Rey. Rey is indebted to the Hutt family and works as an errand girl for them, mostly consisting of "artifact trade" which is a front for drugs after the Imperial crackdown on Tatooine.

    Rey discovers Finn and Poe and takes them to the Hutts, who order them imprisoned while trying to see if they can collect a reward for turning in a defected soldier and escaped rebel prisoner. Finn and Poe convince Rey to bust them out and escape the planet, so they draw up an escape plan.

    Meanwhile from the confines of Yavin IV Leia is trying to negotiate the freedom of Poe, who is the leader of Rogue Squadron, with the new commander of the Imperial armed forces Onna Tarkin having no idea he's escaped imprisonment. The Imperials want a system relinquished to them in order to secure his return. She discusses these terms with Rebel veteran captain Phasma, and then sends for her son, Ren.

    Ren is deep in the forests of Yavin IV and has discovered a tomb, within it an ancient lightsaber. He's notified he must return to base.

    Back on Tatooine, Rey lets Finn and Poe out of prison, and they break into a vault filled with all kinds of valuables. They load up a sack hoping that a smuggler will accept some of them as payment to take them off the planet. It is here Rey finds a lightsaber. They fight their way out of the Hutt estate and head for Mos Eisley.

    On Yavin IV, Leia and Phasma are briefing Ren on the capture of Poe and to Leia's disapproval, Phasma suggests a counter attack on an Imperial outpost and the capture of a rising star in the Empire, an officer who was once part of the Alliance named Blithe. Ren agrees to lead the attack.

    Rey Finn and Poe enter the cantina and find Han Solo and Chewbacca. Han is reluctant to help them until an altercation forces Rey to use the lightsaber she found. Back at the Hutt estate, while trying to track down Poe, Tarkin is alerted that their sensors detected a lightsaber ignition in Mos Eisley. Onna orders a blockade on the Port, and commands the Star Destroyers in the atmosphere to be ready. Han manuevers the Falcon through a small squadron of TIE fighters and makes the jump to light speed.

    Ren's squadron leads an attack on the outpost in the Endor system and Blithe is caught, but not before Ren stages a crash and is presumed KIA. Ren clearly having his own agenda travels to a different moon of Endor blanketed in snow. He ignites the lightsaber he found on Yavin for illumination, and discovers the mask of Darth Vader in a pile of ashes. Having ignited the lightsaber though, Ren is quickly surrounded by imperial troops. When they discover what he's holding, they decide to take him to the Executioner II.

    Poe departs the group to return to Yavin while Rey reveals she is force sensitive. Finn knowing the legend of Han Solo asks Han if the legend of Luke Skywalker, the last Jedi Master, is true. Han reluctantly admits it is, and they decide to search for Luke.

    Poe interrogates Blithe about his reason for switching sides. Blithe shares he learned of plans by the Alliance to build a super weapon which far exceeded anything the empire ever did. Poe refuses to believe him, and Blithe gives him coordinates. Ren's squadron return and they reveal that Ren was KIA, but a transmission comes through demanding Blithe for Ren.

    Ren manages to outwit his captors and make it to the bridge. A cybernetic being whose identity is never revealed speaks about the terror that the helmet he holds used to inflict and hands it over to Ren, along with the saber. Ren is told the story of Vader, including who is offspring were, and Ren is told he is free to go.

    Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of a dark future nightly. In his visions he sees an ultra powerful force wielder enslaving the Galaxy. He is in the middle of another one of these nightmares when the Falcon lands.

    Finn, Han and Chewie follow Rey, who says she can sense Luke's presence. When they find Luke, Luke does not even remember Han and Chewie, and is angry for being disturbed.

    Ren returns to Yavin and confronts his mother with everything the cybernetic being shared with him. She tells him it's all true. He reveals that the only thing he ever wanted was to be a Jedi, and says that if anyone could be able to teach him how to use the force, it would be Luke. She finally caves and tells him where Luke is. Poe confides in Leia what Blithe told him and she tells him to investigate.

    As Finn, Han, Chewie, and Rey all try to reason with Luke, Onna Tarkin emerges from the shadows. She and Luke engage in a lightsaber battle, while Finn and Rey fight the Storm Troopers. Luke kills Onna and the troopers retreat. Rey tries to comfort Luke, but he has another vision as she touches him and he grabs her, demanding to know who she is.

    Ren lands on the system and is surprised to see imperial craft He happens upon Luke threatening Rey, Finn, Han and Chewie, and when Luke sees Ren he receives a final vision of the villain that has haunted him removing their mask and it's Ren. Luke immediately attacks Ren, severing his arm and Han tries to restrain Luke, but Luke knocks him to the ground. As Luke is about to kill Ren, Han shoots Luke in the arm. Luke turns at Han and Han shoots again, and Luke deflects the laser into Han's chest. As Han falls, Luke snaps out of it and recognizes his friend. Luke comforts his friend as he dies in his arms, and weeps.

    Chewie, Rey, and Finn comfort Ren and see that Luke has regained his sanity. Finn suggests they blame Han's death on Tarkin. They return to Yavin IV and hold Han's funeral. Luke tells Rey he will train her.

    Aboard the Executioner II, an officer informs the cybernetic being that his daughter fell at the hands of Luke.

    In an unknown location, Poe comes out of hyperspace and discovers that Blithe was telling the truth about a super weapon.

    Ren alone in a hangar with a new mechanical arm destroys his X-wing using just the Force, an ability he was stated not to have. Movie ends.

    At least you made up some new character names. And I honestly give you an A for effort, but this is the wrong thread for fan fiction. Please post any additions or continuations of your story to the forum marked FANMADE CONTENT. Thanks. :)

    I know am in the minority but I quite liked it, so what is Rey's real name then? Is she a sexy sith?

    It's that he's been seen with a lightsaber in these images. It goes hand-in-hand with the story details.

    Dank copypasta from Leddit, bro. Simply ebin.

    Vaguely related: Mel Brooks is seriously considering making Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money.

    I say that it's about damn time.

    Seriously? Wow. The problem is that John Candy is dead and Rick Moranis is retired, so I'm not sure how that would work out.

    He said that he was trying to see if Rick Moranis would be interested. If not, they can always get new talent. Or make a CGI John Candy.

    That was the first thing that popped into my mind too.

    It's entertaining, but it's fan fiction. Even JJ Abrams hasn't seen a first cut of TFA yet, so how anyone know such detailed visual descriptions? Post it where it belongs so we can enjoy it for what it is.

    I know Mark Hamill played the Joker for many years and sounded so evil but I am finding it extremely difficult to picture him and hear him being evil as Luke Skywalker. He still has that Farmboy way of speaking that doesn't lend itself to evil at all. That's one reason why I can't see him as an evil presence in TFA.

    Anybody else have this problem?

    He won't be bad...turning our childhood hero into the villain wouldn't be the best thing to do ...

    THE hero into the villain. Seems like a rehash of Anakin. Seems not very creative.

    Yeah, not creative. And it would ruin a good character, and completely ignore the story arc he had in the OT.
