What If the Empire Destroyed R2-D2’s Escape Pod?
At the beginning of A New Hope, an Imperial officer lets an escape pod go because it shows no life signs. What if he gave the opposite order?
In this Star Wars “what if,” we explore what losing R2-D2, C-3PO and the Death Star plans could mean for Luke Skywalker, the Rebellion and the Empire. Could one shot secure an Imperial victory—or create a different problem?
We separate events from the film from possible outcomes in this alternate timeline.
