In some fanfictions, the political intrigue in the prequels is rewritten to be more complex and less convoluted. Maybe instead of Palpatine being able to manipulate the Senate so easily, there are more checks and balances, and the Jedi are more involved in galactic politics to prevent the rise of the Sith. This could change the entire course of the prequel events.
Another aspect that can be rewritten is the origin of the Clone Army. Fanfictions might explore the idea that the Kaminoans were not the sole creators of the clones, but rather were working with another faction. This would add a whole new layer of mystery and change the dynamics between the Republic, the Separatists, and the Clones.
One interesting idea could be a rewrite where Anakin is trained more thoroughly in the ways of the Jedi, which might prevent his fall to the dark side. For example, if the Jedi Council had been more open - minded about his relationship with Padmé and worked with him to manage his emotions, things could have been different.
For a Star Wars rewrite fanfiction, you might consider changing the origin of the Force. Instead of it being this mysterious energy field, it could be something created by an ancient civilization. You could also rewrite the relationships between the main characters. For example, make Han Solo and Leia not fall in love but instead form a strong platonic friendship. And how about a rewrite where Darth Vader is redeemed much earlier in the story? This could change the entire course of the galactic events, as he could then use his power and influence to undermine the Emperor from within much sooner.
One idea could be to focus more on the redemption of Kylo Ren earlier in the story. Instead of the back - and - forth we saw, have him start to question the dark side sooner. Maybe he meets a powerful Jedi - like figure who shows him a different path.
One interesting aspect could be the different character arcs. For example, in some rewrites, Luke Skywalker might be portrayed with a more heroic and traditional Jedi role rather than the somewhat jaded one in the original TLJ. This can give fans a new perspective on the beloved character.
Obi - Wan Kenobi is frequently re - written as well. He could be portrayed as more of a maverick Jedi, willing to break some of the Jedi Council's rules to do what he believes is right, or having a different approach to training Anakin that might have averted the dark side allure.
Another plot could be a different take on the fall of Anakin Skywalker. Instead of Palpatine's manipulation being the sole factor, there could be an ancient Sith artifact that influenced him. This would add a new layer of mystery and a different origin for his turn to the dark side.
One idea could be exploring the backstory of a minor character in Star Wars 1. For example, a young Padawan who was on the same Jedi training grounds as Anakin but had a very different path. Another could be a fanfiction that focuses on the political intrigue on Naboo before the Trade Federation blockade. Maybe there were some secret meetings or power plays that we didn't see in the movie. A third idea is to write a story from the perspective of a droid during the events of Star Wars 1, like how they experienced the chaos and battles.
In Star Wars system fanfiction, a cool concept is to rewrite certain events with different outcomes. Like what if Anakin Skywalker didn't turn to the Dark Side? This could lead to a completely different Galactic Empire or even a more harmonious galaxy. Also, imagining new Jedi or Sith orders with their own sets of rules and philosophies can be really engaging.
In genderswap fanfiction, Leia as a male character could change the whole dynamic of her relationship with Han Solo. Maybe he'd be more of a brooding, serious type, while still maintaining that charm and roguishness. It could also impact the way he leads in the Rebel Alliance.
One idea could be exploring the backstories of minor characters' allegiances. For example, a stormtrooper who starts to question the Empire's motives. Another could be a story about a Jedi who has to choose between different factions during a time of great upheaval in the galaxy. Maybe a story about a smuggler who gets caught in the middle of the fight between the Rebellion and the Empire and has to decide which side to support.
A really cool idea for a Star Wars party fanfiction would be a party on a starship that's traveling through hyperspace. The crew could be from all different species and allegiances. There could be a mystery at the party, like a smuggled item that's being passed around. The characters have to figure out who has it and what it is while also enjoying the party. It could involve characters like Han Solo and Chewbacca getting into some funny situations as they try to solve the mystery.
