ArtistPJ McQuade has just released a set of 5 custom Star Wars Christmas Cards, 2 new ones and the 3 from last year.
The two new ones feature Chewbacca the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Hoth Ion Cannon in the background (Wookie, Guide My Sleigh Tonight) and Salacious Crumb dressed in a Christmas sweater, holding his candy cane next to slave Leia (Have a Salacious Holiday Season) to compliment last year’s batch - a smoldering Lando Calrissian under the mistletoe (You’ve Lando’ed on the Nice List this Year), Bossk the Bounty Hunter aka Santa’s Helper (Bossk in the Glow of the Holidays) & a snowflake catching tauntaun (Hoth-y Holidays!). The back side of the outer envelope has a stamped “A long time ago, on a holiday far, far away…
A “Special Edition” of The Rise of Skywalker using the TROS Extended Edition Novelization by Rae Carson with some changes from Hal 9000’s TROS Ascendant movie fan-edit, lore from supplementary materials, and a few minor additions of my own to create what I hope will be the best version of TROS possible. I give credit to both creators throughout, as I DO NOT claim this as an original work but more of a “fan-edit”.
When it’s discovered that the evil Emperor Palpatine did not die at the hands of the reformed Darth Vader, the rebels must race against the clock to find out his whereabouts. Finn and Poe lead the Resistance to put a stop to the First Order’s plans to form a new Empire, while Rey anticipates her inevitable confrontation with Kylo Ren.

When I first saw the theatrical version of The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, I was very disappointed and immediately set upon rewriting/fixing it with fanfics such as Star Wars: Rise of the Order, a role-reversal au called Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, and a WIP called Star Wars: Prophecy of the Dyad– a combo of TROS and Duel of the Fates with a happy ending.
Then I saw a fanedit of the movie called The Rise of Skywalker Ascendant. It was a tremendous improvement of the theatrical, improving pacing, trimming bad dialogue, saving the moment Chewbacca’s revealed to be alive for when Rey finds out, adding Force Ghosts at the end battle, and making the Tatooine sequence so much better, most notably adding Ben’s Force Ghost with Luke and Leia.
While I still wish Rey and Ben could have lived happily ever after, I believe my own “fanedit” of novelization with some of the changes added from TROS Ascendant and my own changes (like changing Rey’s terrible line “I will earn your brother’s lightsaber, one day.” to “I will be a Jedi, one day.”) will be the best version it could be, improving characterization, clarifying plot lines, and adding the closure of the Reylo story that the theatrical version and the original novelization never did.
In the months following the release of the very divisive The Rise of Skywalker, I had drafted Rise of the Order as a rewrite/fix-it. Eventually, despite the work I put into it, I got frustrated and abandoned it.
Recently, I decided to give it another go, and through some editing and the posting of a new chapter, I am proud to announce that Star Wars: Rise of The Order is back on track!
I would appreciate so very much if you gave it a chance, and if you found The Rise of Skywalker as dissatisfying as I did, hopefully my fic and it’s eventual conclusion can offer you something.
