More brainstorming of packing as much of my AU stuff into the same continuity as I can has led to the concept of a JAT rewrite, in which Kyp would still have to destroy Carida (despite the Suncrusher itself not being a thing), at least because his character later on wouldn't be very recognizable if not for that.

And it occurred to me that if the destruction of Carida's academies was enough of a strategic advantage for the New Republic, them going along with Luke's assertion that Kyp should live and work to redeem himself could be tied into some interesting political commentary about expediency vs justice or something like that.

Rose sat on the end of the large bed she shared with Finn. She held the pregnancy test in her hands— it was a positive. She was having Finn's child.

She loved him, and he her, but they'd never discussed having children. She had no idea how he would react. She hadn't ever put much thought into it for herself— but now, raced with the prospect, Rose liked it. She wanted to bring new life into the world, wanted to show the world a blend of her and Finn.

Rose rubbed her crescent moon necklace. Bringing life into the world was sacred in the Church of the Confined Crescent. It was an act of adding to the Force.

She set down the pregnancy test and heard the small ping alert made when the door to the Coruscanti apartment opened. She got to her feet and hurried out to see Finn hang his jacket on a peg on in the entryway.

"I have news," she said quickly. Rose was never one for formalities or pleasantries. They were a waste of oxygen, in her opinion.

"Well, hello to you, too, Rosie," Finn said, an amused smile on his face as he ducked down to kiss his wife on the cheek. "Missed you too. Had a good day at work? Me too."

Rose couldn't help but laugh. "I'm sorry. Hi, Finn. I missed you. I had a good day at work— you? Excellent. Now for the news—it's big."

"Did you make a breakthrough with Project Suncrusher?" Finn asked.

"Not exactly," Rose said. It suddenly felt hard to say the words, like they just couldn't come out of her mouth. "Finn, I'm pregnant. I'm having your child."

Finn's eyes widened. "That is big."

"Is something wrong?" Rose asked.

"No, no," Finn assured her quickly, and he embraced her. "I want to be a father."

Rose wrapped her arms around him, relieved that he was happy. "I knew we hadn't talked about it yet, and I didn't know if you wanted one—"

"I want to be a father," Finn repeated, his eyes sparkling with delight. "And I know you'll make a great mother."

Something about his face fell.

"There's something you're not telling me," Rose accused, stepping back.

Fear clouded Finn's face. "The Imperial Remnant is still out there, and there's been rumors, Rosie."

"Of what?"

"They're taking children again," Finn said. "There's been cases of kids being stolen."

"You're afraid they'll take ours," Rose finished. "Finn. . . I'm so sorry."

"I still want to have kids," Finn said. "I'm just afraid."

Over the years, Finn had grown more open about his myriad of fears. Rose knew just how to handle them. Brew a pot of hot chocolate, Luke Skywalker's special recipe, and sit down and plan for dealing with it. Every plan would have a contingency, every contingency would have a contingency. Rose kept a special datapad for these plans, right under her underwear in that drawer.

Finn and Rose, without saying another word, agreed to do so again with a single nod. Rose went to their bedroom and retrieved the datapad while Finn brewed the hot chocolate himself.

Rose picked up the pregnancy test. It indicated that their unborn child would be a girl.

If Finn wouldn't mind, she wanted to name their child Paige. It could be a middle name or a first, Rose didn't care— but she wanted her sister who had joined the Force in years prior to be remembered through her niece.

1920s:

"Childs restaurant menus listed calorie counts of dishes and added a “V” for vitamins beside any food that was particularly healthy. For breakfast, diners ordered Quaker Oats, containing “protein, carbohydrates, laxative ‘bulk’ and vitamines, plus toasty creamy deliciousness”; they doused their lunchtime steaks with “Snider’s, the vitamin catsup” while drinking Suncrush orange juice containing “all the vitamines and fruit salts so necessary to well-being.” Following an aggressive advertising campaign by the Fleischmann’s company, they sprinkled yeast into their ice cream sodas to counter “intestinal fermentation,” “unsightly skin infections,” and “civilization’s curse,” i.e., constipation. Even sugar was considered a health food, because it would give you the energy to survive the rest of the afternoon in the stenographers’ pool.

The 1920s marked the first decade in which science-based concepts of nutrition had an appreciable impact on American food habits. This was particularly true in cities, whose inhabitants had far more exposure to mass media, and mass advertising, than farm families. Up until World War I, most urban and rural Americans based their diet on tradition—if it was good enough for their parents, it was good enough for them—and on what foods were available in local farms and markets."

From A Square Meal by Jane Ziegelman and Andrew Coe

Guess who forgot what the Starkiller Base was and for a wild moment thought they were keeping everything the same but just naming it after the protag from The Force Unleashed

if you try to tell me that stuff from the Star Wars books "isn't canon anymore" since Disney bought it and said none of this stuff counts, you get like, idk,,,,blown up by the Suncrusher or something. I do not give a single fucking shit what Disney billionaires say happens in Star Wars. Their shitty racist fucking movies designed to pander to self-hating misogynists do not fucking erase the decades of hundreds of books that exist lofl.

you think I give a shit if Disney billionaires say Mara Jade isn't canon anymore???? you think I give a shit if they try to say that fucking Jaina and Jacen aren't canon any more??? Really?? Do you even understand how stories work???

“Find them?”

“>you ask like I’m going to just tell you.”

Motho rolled his blank eyes, watching the treetops of Springearth bend in the wind of the Suncrusher.

“Well then let me get out and look.”

“>again, say please.”

“Please?”

He knew the computer didn’t care about manners. It was really just to make him suffer while he waited. The ship lowered though, into a small clearing of the arbors.

“>have fun!”

The cheeriness was for show. And Motho was already out the door, fluttering his way to the next clearing, and the next, mentally leaving a trail of his way back. Many of the trees here were identical, and getting lost was a real threat.

After a moment, his antennas twitched, catching a new trace. He was actively looking for this one though, so the rapid pickup was nothing but relief. There was the a sizable center at its source as well.

Galacta.

A blue streak rockets across the planets surface just as a new light streaks through the stars above.
