So here's an idea that I haven't seen done.
What if Obi Wan died in the clone wars?
Maybe slain by Ventress or Dooku? Or some other way? Let's say Anakin is a jedi knight by this time.
Depending on the timeframe this could change a great deal. Without Obi Wan Anakin slides further into bitterness about not being made a master, and feels increasingly alone and without a friend. He becomes more focused on the war, almost Revan esque in his aggressive attitude of destroying the CIS however possible.
Palpatine is of course much thrilled and further causes strain on Anakin's relations with his peers. Many of whom describe him as being of increasing bad attitude, barely concealed frustration, and are greatly concerned. Dooku is eventually slain-perhaps in a different place but roughly around the same time. From there-you can examine his downfall without the influence of Obi Wan.

Well for one Anakin wouldn't be Darth Stumpy or Torsoboy in the new timeline or ultimately cut to pieces by Yoda. Padame might be alive but trapped by Palpatine and children taken away. There are a lot of expanding stories that can be told from the point Obi-Wan dies.

I've seen that concept before, though this map was more about creating overt parallels.
Some guy on kiwifarms had an interestening idea about the state of things in Disney Star Wars.

I like that fanfic idea, even if it's based on the ruins of Disney's hubris.
Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS)
Oh Kad, I really wish someone would just ignore the lore sometimes, because Halo is so full of nonsensical bullshit at times that it's surprising it ever became as popular as it was. Presenting the female reincarnation of Josef Mengele outside of the self-serving cocoon of justification that...

It is funny how they say “it’s just fake, it doesn’t matter” about canon after they completely gutted the majority of works as “non-canon”.

First, let me put it into people's heads that Disney's screwups with the Sequel Trilogy are multi-faceted and on the feet of the die-hard fans as well as the less enthusiastic fans and Disney. Disney thought they can pull another Marvel in this case and thanks to the stupid levels of hate of the Prequels vastly overcorrected. The die-hard fans were part of the problem because of one part 'meh canon!1!' (even if it is basically a giant shit pile that only has a handful of gems like the Thrawn Trilogy), one part 'fuck Disney', and a few parts 'they've changed it and it now sucks'. Younger/less invested/less enthusiastic fans were basically going 'we want it now!'...
... yeah, that's the problem with the Sequels. All sorts of shit piling up.
Hell, in Disney canon, the Rebellion almost didn't have the Starhawks in the first place. The oh so glorious leadership of the majority of the Rebel Alliance wanted to scrap the entire rebel fleet then and there and only Mon Mothma managed to save three Starhawks with enough ships to erk out a win at Jakku. The Starhawks were supposed to be made in a long production run mind you.
Oh, and I wouldn't be surprised that Mon Mothma spent every cent of her political currency to keep 10% of the Republic Fleet because the various groups of the Alliance wanted to literally go back to the days of the Republic without fixing any of its problems! There is a reason that even a non-monsterous Wilhuff Tarkin (now fanfic) made it mandatory that in order for the Alliance to succeed, it will need an interim government to rebuild the place and rebuild the required institutions and force needed reforms.

I like the concept.Thoughts on this Star Wars mirror universe?Star Wars: Mirror Mirror by RvBOMally on DeviantArt

A concept I had for redoing the Sequel Trilogy (at least to begin with), is taking the whole "Rey is Sheev's granddaughter" and running with it. Darth Sidious wouldn't be alive mind you, this would be more about Rey's journey to the throne of an Empire that needs its monarch. The galactic scene would be given more depth as well, with the Galaxy polarised between the Imperial Remnant and New Republic. The Empire is riven by strife with multiple factions squabbling over it (some friendly, some not). The most powerful of which is a hardline movement called the "First Order." Long story short, Rey falls in with the New Republic's black ops force (renamed Resistance) as they attempt to discover the nature, let alone location of Starkiller Base, which is in actuality a Rakatan Star Forge that pumps out the First Order's hyper advanced kit. Ultimately, this first "film" would end with a First Order led Empire launching a surprise attack on the main New Republic fleet base. Our heroes manage to limit the damage, but the galaxy is plunged back into war.
Where we go from there, I haven't given much further thought. At the very least, this would be a highly Imperial focused trilogy.

Found this old thing lying around:
While the firepower desparity in space is stupid huge in many circles, the ground firepower is towards Battletech's favor surprisingly enough. Then again, a generic laser pistol from McLasers has the omph of 20g of TNT or 100kJ upon impact of a target within effective range and laser rifles can regularly do some gouges in armored turrets...
... it would be interesting.

That was nice, I do enjoy a good radio drama, though I think he might have shown a bit more of who the characters were rather than jumping right into the action. Is that the Big O theme playing?
Yeah, BattleTech is weird in Vs. debates against anybody else. Pitiful space forces and brutal ground forces, the reverse of most sci-fi settings. On top of that the Inner Sphere is relatively huge with a tiny population and politics that the Joker would find crazy so on an empire vs. empire basis they're weird as well.

Well, to be honest, Democracy in Battletech isn't that viable for the setting. Then again, it is very Hobbesian. In addition, a lot of the politics (oh, and the population of the Inner Sphere itself is like two trillion after the first two Succession Wars) is an aftermath of not only the death of Democracy but also the Succession Wars.
If anything, Battletech's Star League era was going to be essentially cyberpunk on an interstellar scale... until Amaris decided that being the puppeteering chancellor was below him and caused all the sorrow that happened afterward.
Also, Blackwatch: nukes are simply an inconvenience.
One idea that I played with was that Richard Cameron didn't become Child Emperor thanks to Simon Cameron not going on his fateful trip across the Periphery or some other way to keep him from getting killed, turning Simon Cameron's reign into one of Periphery Reconciliation and trying to keep the ever-growing cyberpunk underpinnings of the era from going out of control... which leads to a better prepared Richard the Second taking the throne (and trying his damnedest to keep the entire Inner Sphere from becoming a mess) just as a wormhole is discovered that leads to the Star Wars galaxy...
... right in the system that housed Tarkin's home planet...
... or base it off of my old Battletech/Mass Effect idea and run with it that way...

Instead of the typical the Galactic Empire vs the United Federation of Planets, how about something different…the Galactic Empire, in it’s early days prior to A New Hope, finds the Star Trek Mirror Universe and battles the Terran Empire of Kirk’s time.
Alternatively, the Galactic Empire finds the Mirror Universe around the DS9 time period and faces against the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance.

Why do these SW/Trek crossovers all have to be set in the OT era?
Can't we have Legacy era meets post DS9?
Or ancient republic meets TOS era Federation.

Because they’re the most well know and popular eras. Plus, in my case, I’d be cheerfully ignoring TCW, which I’m sure would piss someone off.
Although I did at one point you around with a UNSC (Halo) fighting the Ancient Sith Empire under Naga Sadow fanfic...
Martok teaming up with Admiral Naantz during his "lemme run a train on the inner rim" phase would be fairly awesome.
Martok being the war master of TNG era trek. Like I dont think we see a fleet commander in trek better than him in that era

I know I recommend this a lot, but I’m going to have to re-read it. And re recommend it. Alongside my Traitor re read.
This is probably the pinnacle of Star Wars fanfiction. I have never seen a fic with such lyrical prose, elegantly developed plotting, and whose gravitas does not come across as forced or lacking in appropriateness.
It’s a story about gardeners, teachers, and bleeding hearts and gods.
