Daniel tells us that one of the series' first episodes will involve a group of bandits acquiring the capability of time travel, and using it to travel back in time to stop Darth Vader from ever existing.
Bastards! They stole my idea! ;)
A few years ago I wrote a short screen play telling the tale of a young Han Solo who has been sent back in time to protect a young Shmi Skywalker from an assassin droid sent back to kill her to prevent the reign of Darth Vader.
In this story I am proud of the fact that I manage to shrink the SW universe even more by giving Han an important role in the Skywalker family lineage.
