This is a rewrite of my first and most popular fanfic, _Star Wars: Secrets of the Force_ , which I sadly did not finish. But now with these new rewrites, I can restart the story and carefully change it around. Although the Rey family twist will slightly be changed, the Finn twist will remain the same and I can promise you, you're gonna be mind blown. Other new twists and turns I created will be included.

I am going to work as hard as I can to have this one finished and to make sure it's as satisfying as possible. Thank you all very much for checking out the original version and be sure to check out the new version as it comes together piece by piece :)

2. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!

Hello everyone.

First off, Happy New Year! Let's make 2017 a better year and before we know it, the actual  _Star Wars Episode VIII_ will be on its way.

Unfortunately, there is no new chapter today and probably not for a while. Here's the thing: As I'm sure you know, the legendary Carrie Fisher (Leia) has passed away last month along with her mother, Debbie Reynolds. And overtime, I've decided to make some very serious rewrites. I might have to rewrite the whole story. I'm really not sure yet. I honestly don't even know which ideas are gonna remain and which ideas are gonna be removed.

Anyway, I wanted to get this message out to my loyal readers who are anticipating for a new chapter of this fanfic. I really am sorry this is taking so long. I really thought I had everything in mind that I wanted to write.

Thank you all very much and I hope to see you soon.

3. Welcome to Star Wars Episode VIII: Secrets of the Force

Hello everyone and welcome to the new rewrites of _Star Wars Episode VIII: Secrets of the Force_ and _Episode IX_ , which I've decided to name " ** _Heir to the Skywalkers_** " It may not sound fitting right now, but it will overtime, don't worry.

Anyway, the reason why I am rewriting the story again is because of the recent death of the legendary Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds. I've also decided to make some major changes to the story and the settings.

While I had to delete the original Chapters 2 and 3, Chapter 1 (Finn and Poe's discussion about Rey and Connix) will remain. I will try to get as much of the story done as I can. I thank you all for continuing to check out my fanfics even though I never have the time to actually get them finished. It really means a lot. But as I said, I'm gonna try to work on this as much as possible.

Before we begin the fanfic, I thought it'd be fun to write sort of a movie-going experience so that we feel like this is the real _Episode VIII_ we're seeing (or in this case, reading).

It's December 2017. We all go to a certain movie theater.

It doesn't matter if we're alone or with some friends and/or family. We're here to have a good time.

We purchase our tickets.

We get some popcorn, drinks, candy (I myself am a Plain M&M guy), possibly some 3D glasses.

We search for our designated theater room and walk in.
