  Speaker 1: The Force will be with you, always.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome back to another episode of Star Wars Alliance.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Of course, I'm your host, Clay, and with me, like
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: every single week, of course, is Katie. Katie, how are
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: you doing today?
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: I'm okay.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: We'll leave it at that.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Now, I didn't see the names attached to your group chat,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: but your family is pretty hyped about the subject that
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: we're going to be talking about today, our main topic,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: which is actually one of our first, I believe this
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: is only the second time we have ever done a
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: topic based show as far as a conversation piece.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: We don't know. We don't usually do this.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: We usually have our conversation pieces around either reviewing something
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: like a book, movie, TV show. And then of course
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: talking about the news. But I had suggested last year, like, Hey,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: we need a little bit more of these out there
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: on our feed to.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Because they're just fun. They're conversation pieces.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It kind of just gets the mind wondering about our
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: favorite topic of Star Wars. So our main topic today
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: is what if? The top 10 what if stories that
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: we want in Star Wars.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: And I don't know if I have 10. Let's just
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: be clear.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I will be completely honest. I have nine. I have
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: been contemplating on the 10th one. So much. And I'll
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: be honest with you guys.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: There is a lot of the, like, well-known, like, fan
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: favorite what-if stories.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I kept all of those off my list.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Well, and more so, I kept it off of my list.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I kept it off of my list because I knew either....
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: The listeners and or fans would bring their own and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: those would probably be there or you would bring some
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: of them to the table. So I was like, Hey,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: we don't need to do, we don't need to double
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: up or anything. So I want to try to do
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: completely original what ifs. So I will say this. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: do have a few from the geek verse discord. Cause
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I said we were going to do this and then
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Chris over at Marvel Alliance also chimed in with his
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I will say his are a little bit more jokey
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and a little fun but he has two of them
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: as well but before we get into the main topic
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: we do have like one piece of news.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Which is about the Mandalorian and Grogu movie we got
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: some streaming numbers Yes, and I have.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Those pulled up. So these are from Nielsen, guys.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: And this is for the week of August 31st to
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: September 6th, which we know that The Mandalorian and Grogu
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: released on Disney Plus on September 2nd. So it's not
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: a full week of data, which I think lends itself
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: to more later on. But The Mandalorian and Grogu accumulated
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: $ 727 million. Million minutes watched, becoming the number two streaming
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: movie behind Netflix's The Whisper Man and the number 10
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: most watched title on streaming in general. The third show,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: just for reference, guys, is a bit more than half
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: of what Mando had. It's Mayday at 382 million minutes watched. So.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I think this bodes well for the longevity. I think
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: a lot of people were like, Oh, this is a
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: popcorn movie. Like it'll wait until it comes to streaming.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: And so I'll be interested to see next week's numbers
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: just to see if, how it plays again. But we'll see. Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And, and I think that it's perfectly fine that, you know, any, if,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: if this movie would have done poorly on Disney plus,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: then we would have been like, ah, crap, this is really,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: really bad looking for Star Wars. But we kind of
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: expected this from the start. So I think it's totally
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: okay and really, really good for the brand. So yeah,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: let's go ahead and jump into these what ifs. And guys,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: we're only going to talk very little about them. We
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: have close to 10 each, possibly. And we're kind of
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: just going to talk about the like, hey, This is
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the what if and what could kind of start to
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: snowball if that thing occurred. You know, like what ramifications
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: does it have for the Star Wars universe? So to
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: start off, Chris Balga over at Marvel Alliance has two.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And again, they're a little bit more jokey. So the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: first one, what if Rey Skywalker was a Kenobi? This
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: is something that was literally, like, something that people speculated
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: on very, very early on in the sequel trilogy franchise.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And he didn't really give anything other than, like, hey,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: a what if. But I think this would not change
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: much other than the snowball of being a Palpatine.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Like, genuinely.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I agree to an extent. I do think it ties
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: in a little bit more into other media than what
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: we had. Like, you could have said, oh, she's Satine's kid. Like,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: or whatever.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, does that make her, like,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: half Mandalore? Or, like, a quarter Mandalore? Oh.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: So you could have said, gone along those lines where like, oh,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Bo-Katan like took her away and like, that's how she
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: ended up on Jakku. Those kinds of things just to
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: like play with it a little bit. We had a
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: lot of theories when the whole Rays of Kenobi came
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: out initially. But yeah, I think having her be a
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Kenobi could have been fun and interesting. But I get
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: why they wanted to tie her to the big bad. Yeah.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And then I think this is more of something that
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I think everybody jokes about. But the second one Chris
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: brought up was, what if somehow Palpatine didn't return? And
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: this one, I think, is just a, hey, we get
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: more Kylo in a much bigger villain role.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Role than what he became overall.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: And I do think there's more to Palpatine returning. Is
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: he actually Bane from several years ago and they've just
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: been going down the train? I would love to explore
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: that aspect a little bit more. But I do think
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: that if Palpatine had not returned, I do think and
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: speak to this what you will, I think Snoke would
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: have kind of continued into episode nine and kind of
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: been the big bad that allows them to really develop
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Kylo Ren a little bit more. Yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: So now let's go to the Discord real quick.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: We got SuperbadMike saying his top five And we'll start
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: with five going to one. Number five is what if
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Qui-Gon survived the fight with Maul?
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Okay. That's one of mine.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: So I think this is indirectly one of mine because
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and share one of mine, which is
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: actually like when I wrote them all down, I didn't
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: say like, oh, I prefer this one over this one
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: or whatever. I just wrote them down. So this is
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: like no given order, really. But because we're kind of
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: talking about the same thing, I said, what if Qui-Gon
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: confronted Dooku instead of Yaddle?
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: And I had.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: To refer back to the Tales of the Jedi episode.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: And do some more research. Because I remembered. Hey. The
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: events of episode one.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: And the confrontation.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Take place during the time. So.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know the exact timeline. But I am pretty sure.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: That if Qui-Gon. Had confronted Dooku. Instead of Yaddle. He
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: would have had to defeat Maul.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: So. I think- on when the confrontation takes place. Because
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: you could have potentially seen Qui-Gon... Because they had the...
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Where Maul was on Tatooine trying to take out the ship.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: And then they go to Coruscant. And so you could
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: have potentially had Qui-Gon confront Dooku then. To where... Maul
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: could have still taken him out later on.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: And kind of playing in that direction. I had Qui-Gon
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: surviving Maul. It was actually one of my siblings, but
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I knew that one in the back of my head
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: was probably going to be one that I did. And
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: I think this just adds a different element to Anakin's
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: journey into the Jedi Order, because what we knew from
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Qui-Gon leaving Coruscant to go back to Naboo is that
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: he was going to train Anakin, whether the Jedi Council
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: allowed him to or not. So growing up and being
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: trained as a Jedi outside of the Jedi Council may
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: have allowed him a little bit more flexibility and less
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: rigidity that Obi-Wan tries to develop in him because Qui-Gon knows, hey,
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: like the Jedi, Like what we know in Master and
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Apprentice and I think there's another one, Dooku Jedi Lost,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: is that he is a little bit more flexible. He
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: doesn't believe in how many rules that the Jedi Council
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: is adapting and trying to go about that way. So
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: it might have saved Anakin from a turn to the
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: dark side in the long scheme.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and with mine, with Qui-Gon confronting Dooku, it really
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: has a lot of implications because it could go both ways.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Qui-Gon being the heart that he is, has a possibility of,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: you know, saying, Dooku, don't do this, and Dooku actually listening. Or,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: even more heartbreaking, he tries to bring Dooku back and
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Dooku inevitably kills his old apprentice. Like, that I think
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: is like, unfortunately, you know, guys, we've talked about this
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: plenty of times. I will never get my happily ever
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: after in star Wars. And this is just one of
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: those other times that I would probably not get my
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: happily ever after. So, uh, super bag, Mike has number four. Uh,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: what if Ray and Kylo teamed up after killing snow?
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Um, This, I think....
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: So, my assumption with that would be Rey goes.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Dark.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Is that your assumption with this? Ooh.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know. You can go both ways. You really can,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: because the conversation after that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: was them both pleading to each other, like, hey, you
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: don't have to do this, or hey, you don't have
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: to do this, like, you know, from both sides.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: I think the more interesting story would be that Rey
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: goes dark.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Now, with the conversation now, after we've read Legacy, I
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: think holds a lot more weight because of, well, oh man,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Legacy wouldn't even be a thing anymore.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Because that's after the Last Jedi. Oh, man.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: It changes a lot of things.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: That confrontation within herself with the evil Rey inside of
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: her that she kind of has been fighting this entire time,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: that just is released at that point, I guess.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Because of everything she goes through in Last Jedi, she could...
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: very easily decide, like, okay, I want to go with him. And,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, that might even mean that Kylo doesn't seek
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: out Sidious. Like, and run into that issue where Sidious
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: reaches out to him. Kylo might be too distracted on
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: having Rey as an apprentice.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Very true. Very, very true.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: His number three is, what if Anakin killed Obi-Wan on Mustafar?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: um this actually i didn't want to bring this up
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: because this is actually a what if ending that has
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: somewhat come into fruition if anybody has played the revenge
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: of the sith ps2 and xbox game um you play
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the storyline of revenge of the sith and the last
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: level lets you play on both sides it lets you
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: play as anakin and lets you play as obi-wan And
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: it does allow you, as Anakin, to win the fight
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: with Obi-Wan. And he does actually make that jump, stabs Obi-Wan.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Obi-Wan falls into the lava and dies. And as he walks,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: this is the actual ending.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: So spoilers for a 25-year-old video game.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: But....
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: He then, because at the end of the movie, you
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: see Palpatine and the clones, like, go fetch him by
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the lava or whatever and send him on the ship. Well,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Anakin meets Palpatine at the ship and kills him.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: And then he's like, okay, now I'm the leader of
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: the galaxy. And boom, you know, it's just like that.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: But what it doesn't show is what happens to Padme afterward.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: And that's like, that's something that my, I think that's
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: actually something that Matt brought up was if Anakin survives Mustafar,
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: what actually happens to Padme? Does Padme survive pregnancy? Does
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: she decide that she's going to stay with Anakin or
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: does she go into hiding? The list just goes on
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: and on.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: So this goes into my number two.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: My number two is what if Padme was Palpatine's key
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: to overthrowing the Republic instead of Anakin?
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: So instead of doing the brute force of Anakin and
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: taking him, like using him to take out the Jedi,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: what if he indirectly does the same thing, but with Padme?
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Would Anakin... go so far as to fall to the
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: dark side with a convincing Padme?
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, technically the way you phrase that, Padme is
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: kind of the whole key to overthrowing the Republic because
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Palpatine uses her as a fulcrum.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Yes but i mean i mean directly like he like yeah.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Brings her under his wing and says like hey this
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: is this is who i am this is what's gonna
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: happen and so she basically becomes oh what's his name
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: uh blue alien um i'm at.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: The tip of my tongue um um the rhodian that
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: no no that gives that gives the order to destroy
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: all the lightsabers um.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, Masamita.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like Padme is Masamita, basically.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Knowing her personality, and this may be because you haven't
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: read the trilogy of Queen's books, I don't think that, like,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I don't think Padme would fall for it. Like, I
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: think if Palpatine tried to do that, he would have
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: to have her assassinated.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, but this is a what if. This is the
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: whole point, Katie. This is the whole point.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: I'm bad at these.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Things the whole crux of it is that something in
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: this new branch of the Star Wars universe has to
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: happen to a point where Padme does feel the need
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: hey doing this with Sidious slash Palpatine will be better
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: for the universe that does mean a lot of shit
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: has to go wrong but In the end, that's what
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: would happen. Superbad Mike does have two more with number
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: two being Rogue One failed to steal the Death Star plans.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: What if Rogue One failed to steal the Death Star plans?
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: The rest of Star Wars as we know it just
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: does not happen. Pew.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Pew.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Poof! Into existence. But, of course, we have to also
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: understand the reality of the Star Wars universe is that
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: the Force, the embodiment of the Force, is that literally
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: changes the way things work in order to fit a balance. So,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: if that does not take place, then something else might happen. So,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: for instance....
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: The rest of the galaxy is still, you know, under
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: the empire and all this other stuff it may not
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: mean that Luke and Leia conventionally do the things that
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: they do in the original trilogy in the exact same
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: order but it could still mean that they do come
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: out fighting for the rebels eventually, you know?
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Right. So I.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Think that something like that, it does mean like, Hey,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: this plan failed cake on the face of the rebels
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: for a good 15 years or so. And then maybe
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: something else happens.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Um, and then, uh, Number one is what if Leia
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: was sent to Tatooine instead of Luke? So what if.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: That's one to mine.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: That's one to mine. What if Organa decided he wanted
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: a son and not a daughter?
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I could see that happening if like he was like...
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Or if like Bria... was the senator and Bail was
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: the king, like if it was a bloodline thing, because
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: what we know from Lillia, Princess of Alderaan is that
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: it is typically a female line of succession. And so
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: that's why Bria is queen, Bail is king consort, like
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: the whole shebang. So it could have very easily turned
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: the opposite way where Bria was a senator and she goes, oh,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: I need a son for succession purposes. So here we go.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I think that could very easily turn out very differently
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: because of just moisture farming on Tatooine. Like, we know that... Oh, gosh.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: What is her name? It's the aunt. Aunt Beru.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Is very much, like, a homemaker. And so Leia could
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: have possibly turned out to be a homemaker instead of
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: somebody who helps on the moisture farm.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: So....
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Going in that direction. Could things have lined up differently.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: To where Obi-Wan. Doesn't really have a reason. To look
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: after Leia. Because she never really leaves. The home.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: In that sense. Very true. I think. With that.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: It.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: It becomes very interesting. Because.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, just with the and.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Me and Abby have been talking a lot about it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: The patriarchy. Do we see the hesitancy in bail to
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: letting Luke be like in politics?
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: You know, I think so because we know that Luke's
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: temper is, he doesn't have the amount of patience that
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Leia has in terms of doing things. So I still
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: think that Bale has the hesitancy to let Luke into
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: politics because.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Of that aspect.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Like he knows like, oh, you're not patient. Like, I
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: don't even know if he gets to like the junior
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: senators program that Leia was in and Leia, Princess of Alderaan.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That's interesting.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: That, I think that would be really, really fun, honestly.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Just to see how it turns out. That was, that
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: was super bad. Mike's top five. And then we have,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I believe two or three more people.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: John M. Says that, What if Lando beat Han at Sabacc?
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: He does several times. So which one?
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, I think in this instance,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I think it might mean from Solo specifically. Well, this
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: just means that Han doesn't get the Millennium Falcon.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: But....
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I still think he ends up being a smuggler. He
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: just has a different ship with not as many fun modifications.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 100%. And then he also said, what if Greedo
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: had shot Han instead of the other way around?
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, why?
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: It was my brother's suggestion. There is no Han shot
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: first or Han shot second. It's just, hey, what if
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Greedo kills Han at the beginning of of a new hope.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: That's what, yeah.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: My brother suggested that one.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: That's interesting. I never, I, it didn't even cross my
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: mind to ever think about this, but that kind of
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: foils everything. Now I do believe that Greedo immediately dies
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: from Chewbacca after this. But as far as does that
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: mean Chewbacca helps Luke and Obi-Wan? I don't think so.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: I think so because they had already made the agreement. Like,
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Greedo just kind of comes up afterwards.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's right. That's right. It's not beforehand. It's after.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: That's true. But yeah, that just... That just.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Means we don't have Ben Solo.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: That does mean.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: And that just spirals into, okay, then what does that
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: mean for Princess Leia? oh gosh that means that oh
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: gosh does does that mean that luke and leia find
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: out a lot later.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah oh no oh well no i don't think so
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: i don't think so that might actually mean that the
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: kiss between luke and leia never happens.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah because uh because she only kisses.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Him because of han this might actually help one of
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: the weirdest parts of the entire franchise. Oddly enough.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's an interesting one. That's an interesting one
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: because it does completely change the trajectory of the franchise
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: with Ben Solo. And then there was two more, I
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: believe from Carson and from Johnny.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Johnny.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Um so let's see here uh carson says what if
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: ma killed obi-wan and obi-wan kenobi all right obi-wan kenobi
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: and qui-gon jen and was never defeated in episode one
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: meaning that he because because they went on to actually
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: have a little bit of a conversation about this saying
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: that uh he was underutilized of course We did get
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: to see more of him in Clone Wars, the animated series.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: But in the aspect of, like, hey, Dooku is never really, like,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: a player of the apprentice aspect of Sidious.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: And he never really was. He was just a bigger pawn, really.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Because they never really treated... Dooku as a true apprentice
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: it was more of like a like hey you're well
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: known and I think Sidious would have definitely moved him
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: up to that but because of what happened in Attack
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: of the Clones it never got there.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: That's my opinion but what do you think if Maul
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: never died in quote unquote died really just, he was
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: never defeated. And that's kind of the wording here in
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Carson's message.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: What if he was.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Never defeated in episode one and he had killed both
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon?
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Anakin would not have trained to become a Jedi because
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Obi-Wan does it out of duty to Qui-Gon for the
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: same reasons. So you could very honestly see because Anakin's
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: not going to go back to Tatooine. So he's probably
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: going to end up on Coruscant or stay on Naboo,
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: which means Palpatine has a full hand capability to train
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: him from nine years old.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: From the start.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Instead of as a Jedi Knight. So I think that
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: changes it that way. I do think Maul still ends
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: up being killed just because Tyrannus was coming into the mix,
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: as we know. He was being groomed by Sidious, like, oh,
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: you should have been able to stay a Jedi and
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: keep your power on Serato or whatever his homeland. is
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: so I don't think Maul lasts still.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Is there a possibility that the is there a possibility
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: that Yoda feels obligated To then do something with Anakin.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: No? As we.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong. We love Yoda.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Some of us love Yoda. I still.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I literally have one of mine that, of course, my
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: famous line.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: What if Yoda was honest?
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, actually.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: Um.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Um, actually, no, it's, it's not, if he was honest, it's,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: it's worded differently. Uh, but of course my number one
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: catchphrase on this podcast is, you know, Yoda is the
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: real villain of star Wars. Um, I, I think there
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: could be a possibility of an obligation. Um, but I
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: do think if there was ever questioning of the obligation,
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: then Mace Windu would have been like, nah, dude, just
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: let it be, just let him go. You know? Um,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: And then we have... Oh, go ahead.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: I agree, because I think Mace had a big impact
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: in the decisions that the Jedi Council was making at
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: that point. So I just don't think Yoda picks him up.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Very true. John M. did sneak one in here. He said,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: what if the Millennium Falcon had gotten to Cloud.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: City before Vader? So the whole point of that entire scene...
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: is that Lando does tell Han, hey, I'm sorry, he got.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Here just a few seconds before you did. Blah, blah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Do you think... I don't know.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: If Lando....
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Again, Lando does redeem himself. But I still think he's
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: scummy enough and a little... you know hurt.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Still about the whole sabacc millennium falcon thing to tell
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: han hey get the hell out of here you know
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: type of ordeal.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah i'm kind of in the same boat um i
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: do think like maybe the han and leia and the
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: chewy and the droids would have like said like oh
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: like a star destroyer is here like we need to
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: get out of here yeah and maybe the hyperdrive would
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: have been fixed in time but then you don't get
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: the iconic I love you I know scene you don't
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: get that scene I still feel like.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: You don't get Luke's hand getting taken off.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah I still think that with what if you're trying
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: to like kind of follow the origins like somewhat I
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: don't know anyways it's been a really long day I'm sorry.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: What if the concept of what if can be very
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: wild and very out there. And there's a lot of
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: different what ifs that still kind of are able to
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: course correct and still get to.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: What the origin was supposed to be. So there's two
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: different kinds of what ifs. I kind of like the
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: ones that branch out to create whole new realities and
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: things like that. That's me.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Um, And then one from Johnny saying, what if Yoda
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: never went into hiding?
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: He would have died. He would have died.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: He was the one that decided, hey, we need to.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: If I don't hide, I'm dead. And we need to
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: save ourselves. for these two future Jedi.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: He told that to Bail specifically. He said, hey, get
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: me out of here. I must go into hiding. And
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: the reason being, he was losing that fight. He was
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: 100% losing that fight. And the entire reason is because
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: of Sidious being able to overpower all of Coruscant.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Like, that's what it is. Now... that is it for
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: the discord. We're going to get into our own, but
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: this does bring me to.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Very good spot for an ad break. Clay market.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: That is very, that is, that is very true. Um,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: 34 minutes.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Um, we're going to jump into our own lists. One
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: that I was hesitant to put down because I wanted
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: to do more research on it, but this is what if,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: so research be damned. Um, What if Yoda was the
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: last surviving Sith.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Of the temple under the Coruscant Temple?
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Okay, so like he was trained as a Sith originally? Yeah.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: And so he's been like in hiding as a Jedi?
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this entire time.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: I just don't feel like we know enough about the
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: whole time span to really answer that.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: It's the exact reason why he's such a jerk to
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: the rest of the Jedi saying, oh, you know those
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: nameless things that could really kill us all and would
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: really be helpful if I told everybody about it?
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Nah.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: We'll keep that a secret between you and me, all right?
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: It's been 100 years. I've never even... What are these things? Oh,
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: my gosh. I'm telling you guys, Yoda is the real
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: villain of this franchise. People just don't know it yet.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: That was one that I just randomly thought of while
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: making this list. And I'm like, that could make for
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: some damn good comic book reading. It won't be a novel.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: It won't be a show or an animated series.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: But if Marvel were to legitimately say, hey, let's try
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: this and do a what if series for Star Wars.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I think that would be really, really fun. It would
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: be a random 30 page comic showing them like, hey,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: the fall of the Sith Temple came around this time.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: There was one survivor to make himself hidden. He, you know,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: was rescued by one of the remaining Jedi soldiers. That,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: you know, was at the end of the fight of
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: this temple. And he was one of the deciding factors
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: of like, hey, we must build a Jedi temple around
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: this to suppress the Sith power. And I think that
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: is like so smart to be like, hey, because again,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: you within this new branch of reality with Star Wars,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Palpatine and Sidious come in and then there's two negative
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: forces that bumping up against each other.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Who's going to come out on top? I think that
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: is even more interesting after that. I don't think.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: Palpatine exists if Yoda is the Sith.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: You don't think so? This is also coming from somebody
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: who has not read the Sidious novel. We haven't gotten
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: to that one yet.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: There is no Sidious novel. It's just Darth Plagueis.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Plagueis. Sorry, not Sidious. Plagueis. is the novel that I
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: haven't read yet. And I don't think there's any other
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Sith-related novel.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: That's correct. We've read Lords of the Sith, which is
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: really probably the only other one.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Because you're looking at it, right, and Yoda is approximately
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: 900 years old at the end of Return of the Jedi,
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: when he dies. Yes. So if you go back that far,
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: the average moon's lifespan is roughly 200 years. So if
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: Yoda is the Sith Master and he was there at
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: the origin of the Jedi Temple there, he's probably in
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: the realm of like 100 years old at that point.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: So you've got 800 years. You say, okay, let's take
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: away 100 and say 700. Players never exist at that point. Like.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Okay. Well, then, that brings.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Yoda could have chosen a completely different Dark Apprentice at
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: that point.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And that brings, like, a whole new, like, does
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Order 66 ever happen? Or does, like... Yoda somehow, like.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Turn the entire Jedi temple and all of its teachings
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: into the way of the Sith, you know? Does it
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: become a path of the open hand into the path
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: of the close fifth kind of operation?
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: You know? Yeah. So that would be interesting. So, Kate,
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: give me one of yours.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, so we've already heard three of mine, technically.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: And same with me, same with me.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: So these three are from my sister. So we'll go
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: one at a time. But these next three are from
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: my sister. She said, dude, what if the Jedi... And
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: I'm reading word for word here. Okay.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: This is from your screenshot.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. This is from my screenshot. Dude, what if the
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: Jedi Council wasn't trying to be so secretive and just
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: trusted Anakin to be a master and that he never
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: would have turned into Darth Vader?
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: We all have visited that and gone, he just gave
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: him the master.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: This is literally the origin of the Star Wars what if.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Everybody wants this to be the number one episode. I
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: think this is a no-brainer when it comes to what if.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: It's simply, hey, Anakin goes to Mace Windu, says, hey,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Palpatine is Sidious. Mace says, alright, let's go. And Mace
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: and Anakin take down Palpatine.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: The problem is because that's really what Anakin was trying
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: to do when he goes to tell Mace. The problem
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: is that Anakin has had this treat dangled over him
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: that says, I can save Padme. I can save your
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: unborn children. I am the only one. So therein lies
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: the question is, okay, if Anakin has made a master
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: at that point, does he trust what Palpatine is saying
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: to him versus now he's got like this, oh, you
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: should be a master, but you're really a Jedi Knight.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: I don't believe he does.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: And the reason why is one being a master means
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: that he has now upgraded his library card and he
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: can now get into more stuff that he hasn't been
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: able to before. And with that new relationship with the council,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: he can open up a little bit more and saying like, Hey,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: because I think that if he becomes master, he tells
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: everybody about Padme. Out of obligation, not necessarily, not necessarily like.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: A, like, Hey, me and Padme, you know. Not like that.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: It's like, hey, you granted me this. I now should
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: be trustful and truthful to you. This is the relationships
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: that I've been having and this is what's going on.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: And I don't believe the council would then be like, oh,
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: revoking mastery and your new library card.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: Peace out. You know, I don't think that ever happens.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: But I do believe that there might be a little
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: bit of an uncomfortable conversation with Anakin being like, hey,
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: if you believe what we do and what the Force is,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: we must just let things happen the way they happen.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: And you must trust in the Force. And then in
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: that case, again, just how we talked about.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: If you.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: If you guys haven't, I highly recommend Freddie Prinze Jr.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: interview where he kind of goes off the hinges and
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: talks about Star Wars as a whole. But he eventually
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: says in that interview, I know how every Star Wars
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: movie is going to go because the blueprint is balance.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: If this happens, then this must happen. If this happens,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: then this must happen. If we keep the same formula
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: within the What If series.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: If Anakin becomes master, then something negative must happen. Whether
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: that be, hey, Padme still dies, but he gets to
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: take care of his children.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: There's that, right?
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Or, like, hey, Palpatine survives, and he is going to
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: be the lingering Sith from afar now, but Anakin is
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: still able to have his children. Or maybe his children die,
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: but Padme still lives.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: There's a whole.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Accumulation of things that then happen. But I do believe
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: that at some point the council will learn about Padme
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: and the children.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: That's just the way I see it.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: Alright, so the next one is, what if they would
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: have trusted Ahsoka and not chased her out of the Order?
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Would she have been able to help Anakin from turning
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: to the Dark Side?
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: This is interesting.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Because there is a possibility.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: That it does nothing to help Anakin whatsoever. Correct. And
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: the reason being is.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: We know that Anakin's love for Padme at this point
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: in time, Jedi temple be damned. Council be damned. Like
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: pretty much Anakin said, F everybody. I'm going to save
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Padme and my kids. So it may not do anything,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: but it does create a new dynamic around Ahsoka. And
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: the idea of like what she always felt was true
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: is true. Like, Hey, the Jedi are out here doing
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: what they do best because the whole point of her leaving,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: she does have this like sourness.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Around the Jedi and the teachings and all of that.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: So she never gets that sourness from. Yeah, exactly.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: And that also like, it also boils down to, okay,
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: does she end up dying then because of order 66 or, Because, yes,
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: she is a victim of Order 66, according to the
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: Clone Wars. But would it have been worse? Because she
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: would have been actively commanding probably a battle in the
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: middle of goodness knows what planet.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: And not been with wrecks and clones that she knew
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: that could help her at the end of the day. Yeah. Yeah.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: For sure. So....
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: This final one is probably my favorite. And this is
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: in all caps. I'm not going to yell, but I
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: just want you to know.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: I love this one, by the way, because it's I
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: do feel like this is another. I do feel like
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: this is another one of those like, hey, everybody's kind
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: of thought about this, but it's still like it's a
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: fan favorite. Go ahead.
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah. What if they would have listened to fives that
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: something was in the clones heads and And then they
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: could have gotten all the inhibitor chips out so none
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: of the clones would have turned on Order 66.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: Tears. Tears. Heartbreak.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: This, I think, is such a genuine fun what if.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Because it literally turns everything that Palpatine was working for
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: on its head. I would genuinely love this now I
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: think this does have some ramifications for Kamino it has ramifications.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: For the Bad Batch.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: I think like it does mean that Order 66 never
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: happens but what does that mean for Palpatine Does this mean, oh,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: plan A is no longer active now to plan B?
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: What is plan B? What does he turn towards to
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: still get the same result?
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: Because you know this man had plan B's and plan
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: C's and plan D's.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah. 100%. I think that's so fun.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: All right. Give me some more of yours.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: I have a string of High Republic ones, and I'm
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: just going to hit you right in the chest with
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: the first one.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: This one's going to hurt. This one's going to hurt.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: It's going to be Ezra, not Ezra.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: Go ahead.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Elzar is what you're trying to think of.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: Elzar. Again, guys, long day.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: So, Katie, what if Avar Kris had a child?
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: Are we talking in the middle of the higher public
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: or on Planet X?
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: If you look at the timeline, because we're all adults here,
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: they go to Funkytown right before they go into Planet X.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: So she would have to have the child on Planet X.
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: Correct. Correct.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: As a mother, do you really think that you would
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: just let a child be just barren on a planet
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: that is destined to just be hidden from the rest
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: of the galaxy?
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: That's the tough part, right? Is because you know That
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: you cannot go up top. And he cannot come down.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: But.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: Your child. Could theoretically go back and forth.
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: Child could go back and forth.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: Or. And the planet is plentiful.
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: I think. There's a possibility that Avar. Raises the child.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: Enough.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: To. Or even at the help of the. Shri Karai.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Have the child go back and forth so that way
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Elzar does have time with his child, but eventually they
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: both decide, hey, this is no life for this child.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: He needs to go live his own life.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: There's no ship.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: All the ships have crashed or been taken off with.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but....
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: Because you also run into the problem where they literally
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: said if anybody ever finds this planet again... The whole
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: galaxy could be decimated. So you realistically. Can't let the
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: child go forth. Into the unknown. Because.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: True. True.
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: I was just having fun with it. I was just
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: like hey. What if they did have a child. And
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: he went out to be like. This hero of the galaxy.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: Just like his mother. You know the hero of Hetzal.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: And all this other stuff. I just thought that would
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: be really cool.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: No, you can't do that. He gets to live happily
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: ever after on Planet X and die of old age
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: with Shrieker.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Alright, so here's Palpatine's plan B. What if Palpatine discovered
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: the planet Sophros, aka Planet X?
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: I think he knows enough, especially being chancellor that he
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: knows that even this is too great a risk for
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: him because they eat they eat dark cider users too
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: so i don't think he messes with it i think
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: that there has to be some presidential library like a
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: national treasure where presidents pass down knowledge and And the
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: Chasers have to have the same thing.
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: The.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Well, I guess it never even touched up on that. Literally,
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: the only conversation was between Yoda and... Oh, shoot. Who
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: was it?
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the Jedi that he had talked to
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: at the very end of Phase 2.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: That said, hey, we'll never speak of this. But there's Yeah,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: it's the.
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: Human Jedi from Battle of Jedha.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: I think. Yeah, but Chancellor So is right there. Like,
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: she knows everything. Oh, no, no, Chancellor So is.
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: From Phase 1 and 3.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it would have been Axel's mother that was
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: Chancellor at that point.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: And she kind of knows everything. some things, you.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: Know, she could have easily passed stuff down. So could
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: have passed stuff down. I mean, we know that like
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: the hospital, for instance, in Andor is named the Lena.
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: So hospital.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: So she was widely respected. If she left a diary
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: or any sort of something to pass down to future chancellors,
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: that could very easily have the knowledge about the nameless
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: in it. If he discovers the planet, she still may
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: not have had any knowledge about that, but she would
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: have written stuff down about the nameless. And if Palpatine
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: sends a crew down there and they go, well, these
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: guys ate this guy and ate this guy. Palpatine could
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: be like, okay, bye-bye.
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: Very true. Very true. Next one that I got. What
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: if Yoda discovered Palpatine's secret?
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: I still think we boiled down to really the same results.
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: Yoda might have been able to plan a little bit better,
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: but Palpatine had his spies in the Jedi Council. Or,
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: not in the Council, in the Temple. So, Palpatine could
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: have very easily found out about what was going on still.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: I do think that there is, like, quite possibly, like,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: a stronger team, like maybe even a confrontation of the
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: entire council going to confront Palpatine.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: If Yoda was the one that found out about.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: His secret, or there's a huge possibility that Yoda confronts
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: him right then and there. I think that's less likely.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: That Yoda just immediately pulls out his lightsabers like, hey,
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: let's do this.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: You are Sidious. We're going to take you down now.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: But I just think that's a very interesting aspect.
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: Whether that be.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Because you could even chop it up to did Yoda
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: accidentally fall upon the secret when Palpatine had revealed himself
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: to Anakin? Because then he has to now question Anakin's
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: loyalty alongside that, you know? So it's a very interesting
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: question to bring about. Next one is High Republic again.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: What if Marta Rowe ran away from the path of
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: the open hand? Very beginning of phase two. The Path
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: of Deceit. There was a conversation.
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: Like, what if she would have been able to leave with... Yana, basically,
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: at that point? I think you have a very different story. Like,
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: Phase 1 and Phase 3 never even happened.
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't think necessarily, because you still have the mother.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: The mother is still very, very prominent... in her like
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: hate towards the jedi and.
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: Everything else right but the mother dies at the end
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: of path of vengeance due to a nameless attack from
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: marta so if you stick along that same lines and
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: go okay the path of the open hand the path
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: of the closed fit because the path of the closed
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: fist would have never existed it would have just stayed.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: It would have been a yeah yeah for sure um.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: And then the Nihil don't exist because the Nihil were
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: a rogue creation. And so if they leave the path
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: of the open hand, they're never radicalized to that point
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: of developing a pirate organization.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is also true. Yeah.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: So the High Republic phase is completely.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: Different at that point from start to finish.
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: This one was interesting, more so because I found a
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: video even after I even wrote this question down.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: With the validity of... Well, not validity. That's the wrong terminology.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Somebody I saw on TikTok was answering somebody else's question
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: about the prophecy of Anakin Skywalker. The whole, like, oh,
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: a child will come fatherless and made of the Force, blah, blah, blah.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: And they were explaining like, oh, this just means that
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: there is a wide group of individuals within the Star
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Wars universe that are born of the force. Anakin just
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: so happens to be one of those individuals that happens
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: to be the chosen one as well, which was an interesting.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: Take on the prophecy. But I have in my what
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: if here is what if Anakin was a twin? Think
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: of it like.
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: I'm going to throw out a reference here. I'm going
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: to throw out a reference here. I feel like we
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: would end up in a situation where Avatar Seven Havens
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: is going.
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: To end up. I also reference High Republic Phase 2.
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: Think of the mother.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Her story of how her sister became a Jedi and
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: she wasn't. yep think about how that's going to be
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: with this i think that there's a huge possibility that
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: this twin doesn't get to have the same deal that
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: anakin gets when qui-gon comes to save them both I
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: think there's a conversation with Sebulba that's like, hey, you
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: asked for all three. That's a little greedy. You take
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: one of the children. The mother stays here, too. And Qui-Gon,
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: of course, being the man that he is, is going
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: to fight for Anakin because he feels such a feeling
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: with the Force with Anakin. So imagine what that does
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: to the psyche of this child that then has to
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: stay a slave.
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: But this also changes the dynamic of what happens to Shmi.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: Does she still die?
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Or is this twin, metaphorical twin or whatever, able to
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: be the one to.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: Do the labor and everything else? Are they what's in
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: the spot of Shmi in Attack of the Clones?
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: That changes too. So I thought this was a really
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: fun thing to think of as well.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: Just with the whole conversation of dyads and everything else,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: I think it would be really, really fun. And I'm
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: super excited. I don't have Paramount.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: I think it's just one extra thing that I have
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: to pay for and so I'm not paying for it.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: But I am really, really excited for the next Avatar series.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: I have it.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: Through Walmart Plus because one of the things that I
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: budget for is grocery delivery because I hate grocery shopping.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: Me and you both. Anyways.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: So I have two more from my siblings.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: Okay. And I have one more on my entire list.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: So you go ahead and do yours.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: Okay. So this is another one from Ansley. She said,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: what if there was no R2-D2? That droid is the GOAT.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: R2-D2 is literally the character that melds all three franchises,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: or all three trilogies together. Without R2-D2, I don't think
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: Star Wars happens.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: The ship doesn't survive in the Phantom Menace.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: Anakin is unable to successfully destroy... I forgot the classic ship.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: The slave ship.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: The droid slave ship, to be specific.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: Which is also helping with the barricade, so that never happens.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: Then you have... He never delivers the message to... with
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: Leia's message to Obi-Wan.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: Um....
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: What's some of the other stuff that he does in
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: the other two movies?
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: He doesn't get tossed in the swamp on Takeba, so
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: Luke doesn't feel the fight to do things.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: Return of the Jedi.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: He is never able to help Luke with his lightsaber
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: at the very beginning of that movie.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: Never able to help him with his lightsaber, so he
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: dies in the Sarlacc bit.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: He doesn't have the map piece that leads Ray to
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: Luke Skywalker. And that's, I think about the end of it.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Like, like genuinely, like it ends at the, well,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, it technically ends at episode one, but if
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: you were to somehow finally get to everywhere that he's
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: supposed to be, if he survives.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: All the way until the, empire strikes back but he's
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: not there for return of the jedi game over like
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: luke's dead like sorry guys like that's it.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: And then the last one was from my my brother
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: suggested grito and then one other one that i can't
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: share on here um and so madeline who's my other
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: sister said what if darth vader found one of his
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: kids and reese he didn't know it was twins right.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: He did not. Um, he did not know at all.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Um, cause of course the fear of the Obi-Wan, uh,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: series was that people were going to like, he was
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: finally going to find out about at least one of
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: them and he never did. Um, because that's, that's the
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: whole point is that at the, uh, end of empire.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Empire strikes back. Um, Is like oh. A sister.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: Or no no no. In Return of the Jedi. That's
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: Return of the Jedi. Oh a sister. You know that's
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: the famous line. So that. I think.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: I think people have kind of thought about this. And
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: the idea of like. He was so angry. With Princess Leia.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: that like he never even kind of thought about putting
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: her under like the wing of the empire she was
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: always going to be a political prisoner but yep anakin
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: was always the one that was like hey you and
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: me we could take down this empire and we'll rule
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: the galaxy so i think that's what ends up happening.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah I think that makes sense. Okay, go ahead and
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: share your last one. And then I have a couple
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: from Matt.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: All right. So are you familiar at all with the
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: Predator franchise?
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: No. Jump scares.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: So the Predator... has an actual alien species name called
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: the Yautja. They are called the Yautja and they look...
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: The Yautja? Yes. They look like this. This is the Yautja.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: And my what if... My final what if is what
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: if the Yautja were canon to the Star Wars universe?
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: So.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: They are normally depicted like this. All the heavy armor,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: all the heavy gadgets, all of this alien technology. And
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: of course, in the lore, because there is also alien
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: versus predator, they are, of course, predators.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: So my thought process is that this species within the
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: Star Wars universe would be a.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: Bounty hunters. They would, they would, they would a lot
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: of the.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: Occupations that they would like the trend oceans. Yeah.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: They would be like trend oceans. Exactly.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: But it also, cause take a look at this. Cause
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to see how many people actually fan, uh, did,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: did some fan drawings.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: And there's a lot of AI stuff, unfortunately, but then
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: there's actual art. Yeah. Um, And some really dope things
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: of seeing a Force-sensitive Yautja be an apprentice to Sidious
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: would be absolutely amazing. But also, like, getting... I don't
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: want to share an AI one.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: Getting the possibility of a Yautja with actual Force-sensitivity work
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: for the light. and be a Jedi, I think would really,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: really be fun because it's such a scary looking alien.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: I think that it would be very interesting for like
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: other species to just be like, cause, cause again, we've.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: Seen scary entities.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Be the good guys and they'd be like, Hey, I
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: know I'm like intimidating and look scary, but I promise
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: I'm as harmful as a butterfly.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: And I think the Yautja would be the same way.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: It's like, hey, yeah, I look kind of ugly.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: I have these giant talons for a mouth, but I
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: work for the Jedi. And I just think that would
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: be really, really cool.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: And just because of the aesthetic of the Predator and
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: of the Yautja, I think that them wielding lightsabers would
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: be super badass. But that's just me.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: Gotcha.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: So that is my final what if, because that is
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: one that I think would be super easy for.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: Uh, yeah.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: Marvel and star Wars to kind of work out because
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: there has been Marvel versus, uh, predator, uh, Wolverine versus predator.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: There's Spider-Man versus predator.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: Like all these different things.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: I think it would be very easy for Marvel comics
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: to just be like, Oh, star Wars versus predator. and
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: them you know do something like that so i was
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: like hey you know they are an alien species we
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: always argue that there should be more aliens in star
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: wars so hey a recognizable face like the yautja i
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: think would be really cool.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah for sure all right so the only two for
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: matt that we have not talked about so far is
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: what if han and luke never met Han was not
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: physically at Tatooine that day or something.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what if they weren't in the cantina? That is
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: an interesting one because then you just have to find
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: a way off of Tatooine. There is such a heavily
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: empire presence at the beginning of A New Hope on
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: Tatooine that you're like, hey, how do you get off
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: this planet? And then there just becomes like a fun, like, Hey,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: let's jump on a ship.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: And go with it. You know, type of thing.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: Something that eventually happens, whether that be, they, they, they
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: do hitch a ride to like the next city or whatever.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: I think something like that ends up happening. But again,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: in the, you know, honorary, what if scenarios where, the
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: universe course corrects eventually. So I think that you eventually
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: do get to a point where, uh, you know, they
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: might meet Han, uh, somewhere, somewhere where he's gambling or whatever,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: like being in his element rather than just being at
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: a random place because of Java, you know?
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 6: So then the last one, um, And he sent a, well,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 6: hello there, gif, and said, what if Hondo was able
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: to keep Dooku imprisoned?
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: What if Hondo was able to keep Dooku imprisoned?
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: This is reference to.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: One of the Clone Wars episodes.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: One of the Clone Wars episodes. Matt, what a pool.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: What a pool. My God.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: Hondo is like his favorite character.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. There's not enough love
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: for Hondo. So Matt, good on you.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: And actually there was one, one of my what ifs
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: that we didn't hit, but I think it's okay.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: I'll just say it real quick after this. If Hondo
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: was actually able to, to keep Dooku imprisoned, then that
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: would just leave an amazing.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: Arc of a trial for Dooku. I think that is
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: really fun. You get to have the Senate involved. You
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: get Padme involved. You get Palpatine involved, like right there.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: And like, so then Dooku has to like weigh his
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: options of like, should I rat him out now? Or
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: am I too fearful of Sidious to really say anything
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: and so I'll keep my mouth shut?
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: I think that is really fun, actually. I think that
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: is really fun. And that is just me because we've
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: had a whole bunch of hardcore politics in Star Wars
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: lately and we've loved to talk about it. But yeah,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: I just think that creates a whole new arc within
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: the Clone Wars animated story.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: Speaking of which, if you have not listened to it yet,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: our Reign of the Empire book two review is out.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: It's been out since the beginning of the month, but
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: you can go find that. The book has been out
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: now for a week. So if you have gotten it
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: read and you're like, I want to go back and
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 4: listen to a review now, it's theirs. It's yours for
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: the taking.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: What's your last one?
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: All right. My last one.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: This is really fun because it is animated series related.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: What if Ezra brought back Vernestra from the World Between Worlds.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: Instead of Ahsoka?
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: Like, if it was just a random pull?
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: Like, of course we don't know the ending of the
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: Acolyte series, so it could have very well been, like,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: preventing her death from Chimera, or.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: Taking her from... The High Republic era, like in the
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: midst of the High Republic Nihil era. And bring her into.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: The Rebels timeline.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: So this would be a little wonky because. For one,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: What kind of ramifications that does now to the end
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: of the nameless and of Mark Yon-Ro and the Nihil.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Because technically Vernestra was on B team. She wasn't on
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: A team. She was on B team.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: But depending on where Ezra accidentally pulls her from, she
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: was kind of an important piece of that entire story. Um,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: especially when it came to wayfinding and all of that
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: other stuff with her visions in, uh, in hyperspace. So
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: like you, I guess you can then say that like
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: her hyperspace visions may actually help the rebellion in helping
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: with Darth Vader.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: And yeah, Heck, we even know that, like, although he's
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: in hiding, Yoda is still alive.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: At this time. And Ezra meets him at one point. So, like, does... Like,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: what does Vernestra think about Order 66? Like, what does she...
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: And it's not like they take Ahsoka back to that
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: point in time. She's out forever. So Vernestra just now
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: has to live on through this timeline of... post Empire
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: post return of the Jedi or post, uh, revenge of
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: the Sith.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: Order 66. Yeah.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: Post order 66. And like what, what becomes of her then,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: you know, like her species can only live for so long.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: Um, and it's, it's, it then becomes like a weird
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: thing because you could, technically still categorize Ahsoka as like
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: master level.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: But she never became a master because she was no
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: longer a Jedi. Vernestra was on her way up to that.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: So like she doesn't technically complete her training, all that stuff.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: And that might even mean we might see a world
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 3: where Kanan lives with Vernestra's help.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. That's after. That's after. It's after his death,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: so no. Right? The World Between Worlds episode is after
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: Kanan's death. I believe.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. Okay.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: Season four. Yeah, you're right.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: It's after. Yeah. That's right, because he's in there and
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: Ahsoka has to... Has to pull him away from saving Kanan. Yeah. Yep.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: So, wait, but that... Saying that means that when he
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: accidentally pulls Vernestra, Vernestra doesn't know why they shouldn't, you know...
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: save Kanan but I do believe Venestra is smart enough
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: and one of those like of course goody goods in
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: the temple to be like hey let's not disturb the
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: way the force has gone with this timeline let's not
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: do that you've already done enough with taking me out
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: let's do what we can blah blah blah um yeah
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: so she still might prevent Ezra from from saving Kanan
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: but who knows But I just thought that one was
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: a very interesting thing.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: You know, I tried to think of... I tried, because
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: like another one that I was going to say, but
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: I was just like, I feel like people might have
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: already thought about this. Swapping uh elzar man and um um.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: Stefan yes uh uh as far as like who who's
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: the one who dies in the high republic um but
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: i wanted to keep it uh female centric with bernestra
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: and avar chris for my.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: High republic stuff but yeah i think that was fun Yeah.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of stories out there.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: I really do hope that eventually Marvel and Star Wars
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: will do this legitimately, whether that be in a comic
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: book series or if it will be in animated form.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: Who knows? But I think it's a concept that is
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: wanted enough that it'll be worth it for sure.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: 100%. So, guys....
