Well this is fascinating. Love these scenarios. A year and a half ago I came up with an alternative version of ‘Star Wars’. So I’m going to use that here for this assignment.
What If George Lucas from an alternate universe had made the franchise starting from Episode 1?
Star Wars Episode 1: Fall of Skywalker
In this universe there was no prequel trilogy, Alt/Lucas started from the beginning. In Ep 1 Anakin Skywalker has been training as a Jedi Knight since being found on Tatooine as a young boy. After re-uniting with Padme Amidala he falls head over heels in love, but the former Queen turned Senator has eyes for Anakins older Master, Obi-Wan. Count Fooku has created a separatist movement and goes to war against the Republic. Chancellor Palpatine re-organizes the Republic into the Galactic Empire, he authorizes the use of a robot drone army to battle the Separatists clone army. Obi-Wan falls in love with Padme and they do the nasty. Anakin is unaware of this as he is on a top secret mission for the Chancellor. Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda head the Jedi Council. They learn of Obi-Wans actions and he is expelled from the Jedi. Anakin gives into his dark emotions and finds the evil Count Fooku and kills him a lightsabre battle, even though his orders were to capture him alive. Anakin returns and learns of Obi-Wans actions and is outraged with jealousy. Chancellor Palpatine is pleased that Anakin is giving into his emotions and creates evidence that Obi-Wan is a traitor to the Empire and orders Anakin to hunt him down and kill him.
Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Drones
The Empire/Separatist wars wages on with drones battling clones and the Jedi Knights acting as Generals in the war. Darth Sidious's apprentice's, Darth Maul (same as our universe) and Darth Crilock (disgraced former Jedi Master Mace Windu) serve as the leaders of the Separatist forces. Obi-Wan is in hiding with Padme in a Jedi safe house on Hoth. Anakin searches for Obi-Wan on Tatooine and learns that his mother is being held for ransom by Jabba The Hutt. Jabba has learned she is the mother of prominent Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and wants money for her release, which the Jedi refused to do which outrages Anakin. Anakin seeks the help of former slave owner Watto, together the undertake a mission to save Anakins mommy. But she is slain during the battle at Jabba's palace by Jango Fett. Anakin slays Jango and Jabba in outrage, he has turned to the dark side of the force. Qui-Gon Jinn undertakes a secret mission to find the Separatist Leaders and capture them. Obi-Wans love for Padme grows and she falls head over heels for him. Qui-Gon finds Mace Windu and he manages to kill Winu but Maul escapes. Obi-Wan and Anakin meet up and battle. Anakin kills his former master, he then uses his force mind control to seduce Padme and they have sex, he then returns to the Chancellor with Padme. She is arrested and charged with treason. The Chancellor knows Anakin has turned to the dark side and wants revenge against the Jedi for allowing his mother to suffer. The Chancellor reveals himself as Darth Sidious and to be Anakin's father. The Jedi council lied to them when they told Anakin he was born from the force. Anakin is named Darth Vader and together they vow to destroy the Jedi.
Star Wars Episode III: Return Of The Sith
Sidious organized the war as a means to gain ultimate power over the Republic now Empire. The Separatists clone army and fleet have suffered great losses and are on the verge of surrender. He orders Maul to have the Separatists fleet come to Corucsant in a last ditch effort to capture the Chancellor, Maul being unaware that the Chancellor and Sidious are one and the same. Clone forces storm the capital planet, killing and destroying everything in sight. Yoda, Qui-Gon and the rest of the Jedi lead the robot drone forces against the clones. Meanwhile Anakin has disappeared. He is now Darth Vader and is acting as a Jedi hit man for the Emperor. He engages individual Jedi one on one and kills them in lightsabre battle. Qui-Gon finds Darth Maul as he attempts to capture the Chancellor. Maul and Qui-Gon battle with Qui-Gon killing Maul by slicing him in half. Qui-Gon is taken by surprise by the Chancellor and is killed shortly after Sidious reveals himself to Jinn. Sidious sends out order 66 to his drone troopers who in turn kill their Jedi Generals. Padme is in prison, pregnant with Anakins babies. Senator Organa and other secret Rebel conspirators rescue Padme and take her into hiding. Yoda confronts Sidious and they battle, but Yoda is overmatched when Vader arrives to assist his Master. Yoda strikes fatal blows against Anakin but is forced to retreat and goes into exile. Anakin's life is saved as he is fitted with robot drone components (much like our universe). The Separatists surrender and their fleet and army are absorbed into the Empire thus strengthens Palpatines grip over the galaxy. Yoda meets up with Senator Organa.
