Oh, I just loved this. Sad to see this story end, but what a perfect ending, right down to naming the baby Padme and having her and Ben both make their debuts on the Falcon. Warm fuzzies all around - I'll be sharing this at my forum. :)

Another great chapter, although the twist that Finn is Luke's long-lost son felt a little too soap-opera-ish to me. I liked it better when he was just a random Force-user because sometimes the Force is random. (I disliked this about Rise of Skywalker, too.) But I loved the conversation between Rey and Obi-Wan. Sad that this story is about to end, but can't wait to see their baby!

Love that opening scene of Ben "more at peace," it has such a good calm-before-the-storm feeling. The reunion between him and Rey is so sweet, too, and I lol'ed at 3PO's "Isn't it wonderful?" What a dramatic, intense showdown between Luke and Snoke, and I love how Obi-Wan and Anakin are right there with their different points of advice. Wishing more and more that the actual movies had played out this way!

How exciting to see the whole gang jumping into the action like this! I loved Ackbar's "could be a trap" and Leia's "I know" to Ben - both such perfect throwbacks to the original movie. Anakin showing up in the middle of everything was a nice twist, and I loved the little interaction between him and Leia at the end; I hope the two of them have finally reached some peace with each other.

Maz's know-it-all attitude can get old fast, but I appreciate her for finally nudging Ben into telling everyone else that Rey's pregnant. Snoke's means of using Hux to turn Rey to the dark side (at least, I think that's his plan) is so interesting too. I love the scene of Ben having a real conversation with Anankin, not Darth Vader - and what a cliffhanger ending!

I really love the way you're delving into different backstories here. Phasma, Hux, and Ben all feel so fleshed out and well-developed. I love that scene of Rey putting Hux in his place using the Force. It's good to see her get a badass moment, and I'm curious to see if she'll try it again and what Hux will do next. I also love that Ben was finally able to talk about what happened with Kadu. It's so angsty, but it should also be a big step for him in moving forward and getting others to trust him more. Finn and Poe continue to be a lot of fun, but I do think their relationship drama was kinda out of place in this chapter (like, okay, but not now, boys).

Oh man, you did such a number on me with this chapter! I love how Chewie is the first one Ben tells about Rey being pregnant - such a great reunion between them. That scene of Phasma helping Rey escape was so good, and it kills me that she got so close to freedom only to be recaptured. I also love that ending, even though it was so sad and intense to read, and I can't wait to see what happens to Rey now that Phasma isn't there. RIP Phasma.

There are so many good interactions between so many characters to love in this chapter. Lando making a parallel between his own actions and Ben's, Leia opening up to Finn over tea. I lol'ed so hard at Ben calling Poe "your other half" and the innuendo in his words later - he is so right about those two, even if they don't know it yet! I also love the way you're humanizing Phasma, it's unexpected and works so well.

Oh man, I loved Ben's reaction to getting the news here. Hopefully now he'll realize how high the stakes really are and get his head on straight. I wonder how long he's going to keep the news from Leia and everyone else. I lol'ed so hard at him repeating Han's "That's not how the Force works!" and Poe wanting to jump in with insulting suggestions. The scene of Hux and Phasma butting heads at the end was so interesting, too. I can't wait to see how things work out between the two of them.

Oh, man, this chapter really puts the story on the fast track with that final line! I was waiting for Rey to figure it out, but I think she's kinda ignorant about the facts of life. I can't wait to see her reaction now that she knows. And Ben really does a lot of work towards redemption in this chapter. His reunion with Leia was so good, but I was also really touched by that moment when R2 beeps him his old lullaby. Oh, my heart. Poe and Finn continue to be a lot of fun, too!

I love the backstory you come up with for Ben here. It makes so much sense for his angst-ridden personality and why he was so easy for Snoke to manipulate. I hope we learn more about it later. That last line is so good, too - let's see Ben be his father's son!

Oh, man, what a good chapter. I really enjoyed every scene of it and the way you handle all the different characters. Finn angsting out over his choices is so heart-wrenching, and his giving the jacket back to Poe is so sweet. I love also the reunion between Luke and Leia - her scolding and "don't you ever leave again" is exactly what he needs to hear! I also like that Rey and Ben went back to Jakku and shook Plutt down for answers, though much of her past remains unknown.

Hmm, Ben acted wimpier than I was expecting after that lashing. You've been good at creating tender/angsty moments between them, but I do wish they would get a few badass moments, too. Especially after his "I've never been with a girl" and her giggling. I love that ending scene with Finn catching that glimpse of Rey and Ben dragging her back onto the ship. Obviously it doesn't look good from his perspective!

Rey and Ben are still swimming in angst, but I really enjoyed the scenes between them in this chapter. I love that you build a history between them with Ben sparing her life and even making her the Luke doll (aww). I love that intense moment when Ben finally communicates with Anakin, not Darth Vader, and that he says the same words that Obi-Wan said to Luke. Actually looking forward to the aftermath of him getting thirty lashes, too.

Yeah, "Kylo and Rey angst train" is about right! I do love that scene of Rey awkwardly hugging him after they defeat the monster together. The two of them are really starting to become a team. I'm still curious to see how they'll escape from Prana and what decision Kylo will make about his future. Poe darting into the temple to get away from angry Leia is such a hoot - I'd probably do the same!
