time travel fix-its for star wars are an amazing exercise of logistics and public policy engineering because. like. where do you even start. yeah ok darth vader’s out there merrily a-murdering away, so u gotta back up before darth vader, but that lands you smack dab in the center of a galaxy-wide civil war which is conveniently an easy way for mr supreme chancellor to dig his little evil kitty cat claws in and use democracy as a scratching post, so we have to back up AGAIN and go pre-civil war, but unforch democracy in the grand ole republic is still absolutely turbofucked because even ten years pre-civil war, space amazon somehow has a seat in the senate, runs its own private army, and is casually laying waste an entire planet, which does suck big time, so it looks like we’ve got to work on some structural problems. so NOW we’ve gotta backtrack at least full one hundred years pre-darth vadering to do some basic democracy-strengthening political engineering, like banning corporations from holding senate seats, revamping the criminal justice system more than an eensy-weensy bit, ending participation with the hutt slave trade, try to avoid building a death star, and also maybe killing baby palpatine if there’s enough time left over
