1: Sojourn's Fate Is Very Much An Example Of What Happened To John Connor In Terminator Genisys, Both

A sad, but true part of America that must be told, and must be known.

The Ancients knew how to build and for it to last. Unlike the modern age...

Temple of Zeus Lepsinos

Euromos, Turkey

2nd century CE

The temple was built on the site of an earlier Carian temple during the reign of the emperor Hadrian. It is one of the best preserved classical temples in Turkey: sixteen columns remain standing and most of the columns are inscribed in honour of the citizen who commissioned their construction.

Caitlyn as the Corporate heir sent to learn the trade makes the most sense and I love the irony it was Cassandra who got Vi as her daughter's personal security. It also adds a extra dynamic of Vi/Cait compared to Lux/Jinx as you said. (Vi thinking she has no chance with Caitlyn and Caitlyn thinking she be taking advantage of Vi.)

Lux: Hello! I'm Luxanna Crownguard. I just transferred here, so I'm still learning everyone names. May I ask who are you?

Jinx: (Was busy fixing something.) Wait...your asking me? Oh umm..Jinx, I work with IT.

Lux: Well, good day to you Jinx.

New random story idea: The Secret Life of Jinx and Lux. Based off the story, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, it has Jinx and Lux having just a normal, slow day, and so having various daydreams being and doing wild and crazy stuff to get by the day. Think of it as a excuse to do various one-shorts in one story and maybe explore the LoL skin alternate universes. (Say picture Jinx as a cool assassin and Lux as her target's girlfriend who falls for Lux.)

I've never seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, but I can kinda get the idea behind it based on how you describe it. Story could basically be about two bored office workers (or some similar job) thinking up ways to pass the time.

Unsure if it would be a shared daydream or just have switching PoV each chapter. Kinda like the idea of switching PoV just for the fact they could both believe they have a one-sided crush and daydreaming around the other.

Like for example, maybe Jinx works IT and Lux is the Secretary for the company. Most people don't pay Jinx (or any of the IT people for that matter) much mind, maybe they're seen as weird, yet every morning when Jinx walks in Lux always greets her which started their initial relationship. Just small talk, evolved into offered food/drink, but never really going past that.

Daydreams start from there with Jinx bored out of her mind in between tickets, thinking of the nice pretty blonde that's always so nice to her for some reason. Maybe it starts with just a fantasized conversation or date, then it grew more 'fun' from there, leaning more into fantasy based on whatever caught Jinx's attention for the day.

On Lux's end it could be she started greeting Jinx just out of habit, but then with the small moments shared she began wanting to know more, but is too shy to actually do that (maybe Jinx seems too cool or something). Her daydreams start from that thought.

Could also have a point where Jinx starts receiving almost daily tickets from Lux about some form of tech problem out front, all created on Lux's end just for the chance of chatting. Like "My monitor isn't working," only she's just 'accidentally' unplugged it. Jinx is unsure if Lux is doing it on purpose for some reason or is actually that technically challenged.

Star Wars: Legacy of the Force.

It all started with the Syndulla Twins. Jacen and Jaina Syndulla. The children of Jedi Survivor Kanan Jarrus and general Hera Syndulla, the twins would glow up in the climax of the First Galactic Civil War and the Birth of the New Republic. Both was showed to be gifted with the Force, just like their late father. While both was gifted pilots, Jance would favor the Living Force and animals under the influence of Ezra Bridger, Jaina became the true ace of the family as well as her penchant for technology.

While the return Bridger and Sabine Wren was quick to tied the knot following the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Syndulla Twins was among the first to train under Luke Skywalker and the New Jedi Order. Here, the twin became close to Ben Solo, follow by Anakin Bridger-Wren. It was wonderful time for them and despite all their differences, they was family.

Before it went wrong and ended in tragedy. 

The Galactic Defense Party, or the GDP for short. Starting out as more of a big tent party, made up of everyone from the Centrists, the Populists, and a dozen other minor and petty parties and factions. What united most of them was the motto 'A Strong Republic, A Safe Republic' and 'For the Greater Good'. Lead by Cal Omas, a native son of Alderaan away when the First Death Star struck and served as a pilot with distinction in the war. While one of Leia's biggest supporters, he became more and more uncertain of her, and the Populists ability to lead the New Republic and do what was needed. 

When Organa's political career ended with the revelation of her secret heritage as the daughter of Darth Vader, it would be the moment of the GDP to shine. Against all odds, the Galactic Defense Party won the elections and Omas would sweep into power. He promised a era of centralization and federalization, to ensure that the galactic peace and stability would last for all her peoples.

The news hit no one harder than Ben Solo. Already feeling doubt and feeling alike to a outcast, the truth of his grandfather and the fact his family had hidden this from him ruined the young man. Despite the best efforts of Anakin (Despite the bitter rivalry between the two.) and Syndulla Twins as well as his uncle, Ben would fall deeper into the Dark Side until one fateful night.

Grand Master Skywalker had gone to see his nephew, and to this day, no one knows just what happened. Only that the hut collapsed on itself and Ben Solo came out of it, lightsaber in hand. Convinced that Solo had killed his own uncle in cold blood, Jacen Syndulla leap to defend the temple, and the result duel between the two best friends.

Luke hesitated.

Jacen didn't, and Ben Solo fell to the ground dead. His destiny of Kylo Ren dead before it could start.

What follow would be the slow death of the New Jedi Order, Jacen cast himself out, ashamed of killing Ben and furious at Master Skywalker failure, with many of the Knights following him. Luke would exile himself to unknown space, and Anakin Bridger-Wren would leave and go back to his mother's people, the Mandalorians of Mandalore.

Those who remain struggle to keep the Order alive and the dream of the Jedi with it. Jaina begged her brother to stay, but the darkness had a hold on him and it wasn't letting go.

What follow would be the militarism and fascism of the New Republic. It became increasingly controlling of local governments, demanding member states pay higher and higher taxes to help with infrastructure protects and pool their military resources for the New Republic Defense Force. Free Speech has been limited into nothing, but propaganda, with the Senate held by the GDP in full.

Following a series of terrorist attacks and riots on the reestablish capital of Coruscant, the Republican Guard would be form, a secret police to crack down on any and all dissent far and wide, real, and otherwise. 

The First Order-Republic War would be the moment of truth. Having promised to bring the 'Last legacy of the Empire to heel', Cal Omas would make good on that promise and he would have Jacen Syndulla on his side. Disillusioned and cutting himself off from his family, Jacen and his followers would find new purpose in the New Republic cause. With Admiral Nek Bwua'tu leading the fleet, Syndulla would lead the army into battle against the First Order like a Jedi Warrior of old with his "Jedi Lords."

Despite utter zealot and fanaticism in their defense, the Order stood no chance and all know of Jacen cutting down General Armitage Hux for the whole galaxy to see. What follow was many members of the Order was given pardon and amnesty, it resources, fleets, and territory added to the New Republic despite Omas personal misgivings.

The Resistance was meant to fight the First Order, to safeguard the Republic. But now the Order is finished, and the New Republic is rushing into becoming a second Empire. The Resistance is made up of many faces, from Idealistic New Republic Dissidents who still hope to redeem the State like Leia herself, to many Moderate Imperials, led by Baron Soontir Fel and his son Jagged Fel who still believes in a Imperial vision, to many more with their own goals and missions such old rivals like Borsk Fey'lya.

Keeping such an unruly house is one thing, never mind the many independent movements and other Anti-Republic movements coming out of the woodwork. The Confederation lead by Corellia is this close to calling for total Independence and there would be open war once again.

Among others, Mandalore is dead silent, watching and waiting. Since returning to his mother, Ankain, always a iconoclastic that put him at odds with Jance and other Jedi, now lead what amounts to a Mandalorian Jedi Order. Despite his youth, many look to the young man, seeking to combine the better parts of the Mandalorian Code as well as the teachings of the Jedi. Aged Ahsoka Tano does her best to train them, and to guild Anakin, even as the Galaxy has become a dark place once again and is seen as a 'honorary' Mandalorian by many old and young.

Hera Syndulla heart breaks for both her children, as does the rest of Ghost. The last time she met her son, she and Ezra Bridger begged him to walk away, the latter speaking how he himself had gone down this same road under Maul and it wasn't too late. Jance just told them to leave and not show their 'traitorous faces' to him again. Zed for his part would want noting more to 'knock some sense into his head' for the sake of Kanan. 

Jaina divides her time between the struggling Ossus Jedi, and the Resistance. Since...what happened, the New Jedi has a much more 'open door' policy, anyone may join them, and learn and may leave whatever they wish. Masters often many several student under their wings. Jaina is no master...but many looks to show as the New Republic put more and more pressure on them to join the Jedi Lords.

Meanwhile, all keeps looking for Luke Skywalker, all believing he alone could break the stalemate and turn the tide. Poe Dameron has been giving this mission, to Jakku to meet with Lor San Tekka to gain a map to Skywalker.

All while Krayt, once A'Sharad Hett laughs within his stronghold on Moraband. He himself was surprised at this turn of events, but he is no fool to missed out. Indeed, he found Syndulla lost and alone, and acting as yet another survivor of Order 66, and took him under his wing. In secret, he thanks the boy, killing Skywalker's little grandson. For now, his grip on the New Republic and the boy glows day by day, going as far as to send Talon to watch over him.

The Rule of Two is over. Long Live the Rule of One.

XXX

1: Force Awakens play out more than similar. A far more composed,but brooding melancholy Jacen captures Poe who is later freed by Finn and the pair crashlands back on Jakku and Finn meeting Rey. They still steal the Millennium Falcon, but instead of Han and Chewie, it Hera and Zed, which Zeb jokes how much Solo is going to own them for this.

Hera does take Rey under her wing, reminder her of Ezra, not seeing him since the last time they saw Jacen and spending his time between Lothal and Mandalore. After being ambush by pirates and New Republic proxies, they head to Takodana. Cue Ray visions (Maybe adding stuff like Kanan Sacrifice.) and finding Luke's lightsaber and the New Republic finding them, the Resistance counterattack and Jance taking Rey.

At D'Qar, everyone goes back and forth after learning about Starkiller (Cal Omas wanted more than to tear it apart, but kept being blocked by his allies.) and the New Republic going to use it on them. The deadlock is broken by Fel and Ciena Ree siding with Leia and Hera to attack Starkiller and Hera to rescue Ray with Finn. (Cue the fact he was a janitor and...)

Finn: We use the Force!

Hera wanting to slap Finn silly: That's not how the Force works!

Old Jacen comes out trying to befriend Ray, which almost works, but she rebukes him. At Talon urges, Jacen tries to take the information forcibly from her, only to turn it back at him that he feels he would never makes his father proud. Rattled, Jacen leaves with Talon after him.

Rey frees herself with the team finds her. Cue the attack of Resistance X-Wings and TIE-Fighters on Starkiller. Hera reaches out to her son one last time before being killed, seeing all the Force Sensitive members of Ghost react to her death.

Cue battle between Jance and Finn and then Jacne and Rey. Jance is saved by Talon while everyone else flees the planet.

Rey leaves with the arriving Jaina Syndulla and Ezra Bridger to meet with Luke.

2: The Last Jedi: First meetings with Luke is...less than great. The Second Galactic Civil War breaks out, with many following the Confederation and their call for Independence. Cal Omas is overthrown in a palace coup, and the Resistance flees from D'Qar, and Leia nearly killed. Soontir Fel takes command along with a lot of old Imperials like Ree and Terisa Kerrill in command among others. Poe has his plan with the addition of Anakin Bridger-Wren and cutting a deal with Borsk Fey'lya which Poe feels dirty for it.

On Ahch-To, Luke, Jaina, and Ezra tries to train Rey and try to make peace. Goes not go over well, and both Jaina and in a lesser manner Ezra blows up at Luke over what happened and his ditching everyone to feel sorry for himself.

Poe's team is captured on the New Republic flagship while Rey gives herself to Jance. First meeting with Krayt over a hologram who demands Jance brings her to him. Someone pulls a Holdo Maneuver on the New Republic while Jaina and Rey faces off with Jance and Ezra saves Finn, Rose and Anakin.

The Resistance is pulled out of the fire by Han Solo (He claims it to claim his ship back, but all know why.) the Mandalorian Jedi, Ahsoka Tano, and others.

3: I am of half a mind of doing a part one and two. One to focus on the Second Galactic War and the second to focus on TTL Rise of Skywalker. All out warfare between the New Republic against the Resistance, the latter trying to hold together a united front of so many different factions. Jedi Lords and their 'totally not' One Sith allies against the other Jedi Orders. Etc

Disney in all, but name. 

Well, it’s kind of hard to think of yourself as a duchess when you’re sleeping on a damp floor. But, sure, every lonely girl would hope she’s a princess.
