As long as Hanukkah is studied and remembered, Jews will not surrender to the night. The proper response, as Hanukkah teaches, is not to curse the darkness but to light a candle
“Paige had her own Otomok medallion wrapped around the gunsight mount of the cannon, as she often did, but now she untied it and hung it back around her neck, the way Rose was wearing hers.” ↳ Star Wars: The Last – Cobalt Squadron by Elizabeth Wein
Captain…Commander…Trooper. All titles Rex had held in his lifetime.
But never father.
After the battle of Endor, after fighting alongside Solo, Organa, Skywalker, Calrissian, Bey, and Dameron, and watching them all have families, Rex was starting to think that Cut Lawquane was right. Maybe Rex wanted more than just battle.
timd would pass, and Rez would find a good woman, an old friend of Bey’s. She was kind, smart, a soldier like him. Well, not a Clone of a legendary bounty hunter, but damn was she good with a blaster. Eventually the two of them settled down and had twins, a boy and girl.
Everyone from the Damerons to even Ahsoka gave their congratulations. Ahsoka even mentioned that his children could be force sensitive. Imagine that? Clone Trooper Commander Rex, father of Jedi! Kenobi and Skywalker must have been grinning like idiots from the other side.
Unfortunately Rex knew he wouldn’t be able to watch his children grow up due to his accelerated aging. It was something he made peace with long ago and when the time came, Commander Rex had no regrets. He was remembered a hero, and mourned by many.
Kes and Shara offered Rex’s wife to stay with them for awhile to keep her and the kids company, which she accepted of course. Though Shara never came home after picking up the Trooper’s family.
Shara Bey’s ship had been attacked in the Outer Rim while she was on her way back to Yavin 4. Many thought it was raiders, but in reality it had been the First Order.
The twins had been the only survivors of the attack. Both were indoctrinated into the Stormtrooper program, but both were separated and their relation to never be revealed to the children as to avoid conflicting loyalties.
The girl would grow up to eventually gain the rank of Captain at the brink of the Cold War Between the First Order and New Republic. As Captain she was able to name herself. She chose the name Caro.
The boy on the other hand would grow up to become one of the best Stormtroopers in the entire First Order…and their greatest enemy. The boy deflected and joined the Resistance, and he took on the name Finn.
Finn had accepted long ago that he’d never find him family, but after the infiltration of the Supremacy, BB-8 shows Finn his military file from his Stormtrooper days. He had a sister and she was alive!
But he had no idea how he’d find her.
Since joining the Resistance, Finn had dealt with the silent confliction of fighting Stormtrooper. As a soldier, he never hesitated in battles with troopers, because it was them or him, but it all was catching up to him…it was eating away at him. Finn wanted to liberate them, give them the same option he was given.
So against mass protest from Rose, Poe, and especially a worried sick Rey, Finn decided he would go undercover once more in the First Order and not only find and convince his sister to rebel, but he would start a damn uprising. The Stormtroopers would not be the faceless casualties of this war.
He’d save his sister Captain Caro, and all the Stormtroopers, or die trying. Isn’t that what a real good Trooper does? They never leave a soldier behind. At least, that’s what the old holotapes about Clone Trooper Rex said. Finn always admired him and the other clones. Something about them felt… familiar.
“If you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people. I have seen yours once before six years ago, when I helped a young woman flee the destruction of the Jedi Temple.”
More Force sensitive twins Caro and Finn. This time with Maz helping Finn track down his sister who’s been living in hiding since Kylo destroyed the Jedi Temple.
As an infant, Poe Dameron barely saw his parents due to the Alliance’s continued operations against the Imperials before and after Endor, as his mother worked as a Rebel pilot for the Alliance’s Green Squadron and his father was a member of the Pathfinders, and Poe was thus left in the care of his maternal grandfather.
Six months after the Battle of Endor, after the Imperial remnant put forward Operation: Cinder, Dameron’s parents left Rebel service to reunite with him, and settled on Yavin 4.
