i love star wars time travel fix-it as much as the next guy, but we need to be thinking bigger! none of this ‘clone wars obiwan goes back to his childhood’ nonsense, let’s see how far we can rocket some unsuspecting force sensitive back in time
now, i’m not familiar with anything outside of movies/tv shows, so someone else could probably rocket them further, but i wanna send like rey, freshly skywalker’d, back to like pre jaster mereel’s death. yes i want her to be like 10 and feral and adopted by jaster. because he’s my favorite and i said so.
so she’s just standing there with her yellow lightsaber that is now far too big for her child hands, suddenly she has a shiny new buir and an eight year old brother that seems vaguely familiar??? like his name rings a bell?? but what could this little kid possibly do that would have such an effect on galactic history that she would know of him like 90ish years in the future???
so basically rey’s wracking her brain for that one pre-imperial history class she took that one time for anything useful she can do to help save the future. all she’s able to come up with is pretty much ‘palpatine bad’. rey would totally just go off on her own to kill him (and make sure he stays dead, the crafty bitch), but jaster seems strangely reluctant to let his ten year old daughter take a ship by herself to assassinate an extremely small-time politician from a peaceful world without any sort of explanation.
but regardless, rey kinda just ends up butterfly-effecting stuff as she grows up a little bit. like preventing jaster’s death and galidraan. in turn, leading to jango not building his revenge army and a generally more stable mandalore system, maybe?? all the while, she’s is getting some sick mando training and super cool armor, like any self-respecting jedi-adopted-by-mandalorians would.
actually, at galidraan, rey’s able to meet up with some jedi for the first time! hooray! dooku’s not quite sure what to do with this strange, unknown, armored, force sensitive teen with a weird, jerry-rigged lightsaber.
rey takes this opportunity to lay out every bad thing palpatine has done/will do in the most incoherent way possible. when asked how she knows this, rey panics and answers that the force told her so. unbeknownst to her, this is actually a completely valid answer to give these jedi masters, and the incoherence of her explanation made it seem even more plausible to be a string of confusing force visions, rather than being completely made up. the masters, particularly dooku, promise to look into the possibility of a sith and ask rey if she’d like to come to the temple with them.
she, of course, goes ‘yes, absolutely! i’ll go tell buir and jango that we’ll all take a trip to coruscant together!’ and the masters just grimace and go ‘yeah for sure that’s definitely what we meant’
they go to the temple, and amongst talks about the sith, and jaster just having a delightful time in the jedi archives (rey has a delightful time too, just think of how master skywalker would react to all these jedi texts!), rey gets to meet a preteen obiwan! fresh off of child soldier-ing on melida/daan! he’s a little traumatized at the moment, but rey is just so excited to finally recognize a historical figure other than her shitty grandpa. she then obviously latches onto little obiwan and like. vibes with him. obiwan is a little baffled by this cool older mandalorian teen that seemingly wants to be his best friend, but he’ll take all the friends he can get after the stressful few months he’s had. rey scares off anyone (padawan, knight, or master) who might give obiwan any shit for melida/daan related stuff. or just anyone that gives him any shit at all.
eventually, palpatine is arrested for tax fraud. he actually is pretty new at the whole ‘sith machinations’ thing at this point, so he didn’t hide his simple tax fraud very well and after his arrest, the jedi are able to get him for the more sith-y crimes. so then the jedi go on the hunt for the sith master.
while they do all that, rey is able to go back to mandalorian space with jaster and jango, making sure to have weekly holo-calls with obiwan and his friends. rey may really miss all her friends and the whole support system she left behind in the future, but she’s got a pretty good support system here as well. hopefully because of her, those friends she left behind in the future will be able to live full, free, and peaceful lives.

I found a post on Pinterest a while ago and don’t know who posted it, so take the following as a repost if you will:
Remember in TLJ when Luke is facing Kylo/Ben an it cuts to Rey’s reunion with Finn.
What if right here he felt Rey hugging Finn and it hurt him even more??? Don’t get me wrong, Rey and Finn’s relationship is purely platonic and I’m sure Kylo/Ben is aware of the fact, but what if he felt like the girl he loved more than anything or anyone, his Dyad, left him for that traitor and their little Resistance? What if that’s his though process right now, and it only makes matters worse?
I don’t think I’ll ever shut up about how Emo Vader stan is so damn in love with Scavenger girl-

I fully understand why the sequels wouldn’t want to focus on prequels characters but can you imagine if there’d been an order of force ghosts roaming the galaxy, acting as spirit guides to lost and alone force sensitive children, raising jedi from within the force itself, haunting battlefields and old temples to provide what council they can to any who would ask for it. If little Rey abandoned on Jakku had been watched over and taught by the ghost of an increasingly forgotten old jedi general from before there was even an empire, if Finn growing up in the first order had an imaginary Togruta friend who showed him tricks to save his fellow cadets from cruelty and kept reminding him that there was always hope. What was the special training to stay intact in the force for if not to seek ways to shed a little light in the tumultuous times ahead, to pass on the teachings and stories of their culture that would be lost to genocide, to watch over the children?

Din takes a Dad Mid Day Nap TM and then goes outside, to the clan family garden, and sees the utter chaos that has unfolded in his absence:
- Luke is standing on the garden table wielding a wrench, engaged in what is clearly a battle to the death with Paz, who has chosen the mighty broom as his weapon. Luke is wining. He has the high ground - Obi-Wan is proud.
- Boba has put Grogu in a wheelbarrow and is using his jet pack to zoom it around.
- Cara is teaching a 5 year old Rey how to fire a rifle, that is almost as big as her. Rey is alarmingly good.
- Ahsoka, Bo-Katan and Leia are discussing the runnings of the galaxy while facing the wall and resolutely ignoring everything that is going on behind them.
- Han is still asleep on the couch. He refuses to wake up till dinner.
