Planning a 'Star Wars' "What if...?"
Posted: 2006-01-20 11:17pm
I'm thinking about writing a 'Star Wars' fanfic after I finish 'Alien Vs Predator Vs Transformers Vs GI Joe'. My current ideas are based on the following "What if...?" scenarios:
1) What if Dooku killed Palpatine?
Dooku kills Palpatine aboard the Invisible Hand as Anakin arrives, to anger him and make Anakin fall to the Dark Side. Dooku offers to train Anakin as his Sith apprentice, but Anakin kills Dooku instead. After the CIS fleet is defeated, Anakin learns that Palpatine's will names him as heir to trillions of credits; the wealth doesn't affect him, but the suspicion this arouses in the Jedi Council does. Anakin angrily leaves the Jedi Order, joins Padme on Naboo, and tries to live in peace when two Jedi arrive to take away Luke and Leia; when Sly Moore and Mas Amedda learn of the fight between Anakin and the Jedi, they convince him to run for public office, thinking Anakin can restore to them the wealth and influence they enjoyed under Palpatine.
2) What if Luke Skywalker joined the Imperial Navy?
The Rebel assault on the Death Star fails because Solid Snake, a TIE pilot under Vader's command, defended the Sith Lord as he destroyed the attacking X-wings. When Vader meets Solid Snake after the battle, he senses that Solid Snake isn't the pilot's real name, and demands it. Solid Snake admits his real name is Luke Skywalker, and that he ran away from his uncle's home to join the Imperial Naval Academy. Vader conceals his shock that his son is alive, and offers to train Luke as his Sith apprentice.
Which story should I write?
