Rey is also a central figure. Her origin story could be rewritten in different ways. Some fanfictions might explore the idea that she has a more direct connection to the Skywalker family or other important Star Wars lineages, rather than the somewhat ambiguous origin in the original TLJ.
There's Rey, who has a strong connection to the Force and is seeking to understand her powers better. Finn, who was once a stormtrooper but has defected to the Resistance. Poe Dameron, known for his piloting skills and his role in the Resistance's battles. Kylo Ren, with his complex character, torn between following Snoke and his own path. Luke Skywalker also plays a crucial role as Rey's mentor in the story.
One interesting aspect could be the different character arcs. For example, in some rewrites, Luke Skywalker might be portrayed with a more heroic and traditional Jedi role rather than the somewhat jaded one in the original TLJ. This can give fans a new perspective on the beloved character.
Obi - Wan Kenobi is frequently re - written as well. He could be portrayed as more of a maverick Jedi, willing to break some of the Jedi Council's rules to do what he believes is right, or having a different approach to training Anakin that might have averted the dark side allure.
The titular 'Black Star' is likely to be a main focus. Writers might explore its personality, powers, and motives more thoroughly.
Darth Vader is often a main character. His menacing presence and complex character make him a favorite to explore further in fanfiction. Writers can delve into his inner thoughts and his relationship with the Emperor.
Clone troopers are often main characters. Since Umbara was a significant location in their story arcs, fanfiction might focus on their experiences, like Captain Rex leading his troops through the dangerous terrain and battles on Umbara.
Jedi are often main characters. Jedi like Obi - Wan Kenobi or Yoda might be the focus as they deal with the aftermath of Order 66. Also, clone troopers are common. Some fanfictions might feature a particular clone who has a change of heart during Order 66.
It's about the events that take place in the movie. It includes things like the Resistance's fight against the First Order. There are details about the battles in space, the strategic decisions made by the leaders on both sides. It also explores the relationship between the different characters, like the complex dynamic between Luke and Kylo Ren, which is central to the overall narrative of the Star Wars saga at that point.
The main characters from the original work are usually the focus. So, it would be the couple that was central in 'The Longest Ride'. Their relationship and how it develops further in the fan - created stories is often explored.
Sometimes, other minor characters from the game might also be given more focus in fanfiction. For example, the villagers or the shadowy figures that were seen in the game. Their backstories could be explored, and how they might interact with the boy and Trico in different scenarios. But overall, the boy and Trico remain the most prominent characters in most of the fanfiction.
