  • With the Death Star destroyed, Luke Skywalker leaves Hoth to train as aJedi with Yoda. Han Solo is encased in carbonite on Cloud City. Vader's dark secret is revealed. You know the story. Or do you? In the unique Infinities universe, nothing is taken for granted. Have you ever wondered how things would play out if Han never rescued battered Luke on Hoth's frozen tundra? If Boba Fett arrived at Cloud City earlier and cut a deal with Lando? If Vader uncovered secret Rebel information hidden in C-3PO, the droid young Anakin Skywalker created? Well, start wondering! It's the miniseries that blows the cap off everything you thought you knew about The Empire Strikes Back! Never miss an episode by subscribing today! bit.ly/2WYvgkt #starwars

    OMG, I love the idea of having a "What If... Greedo Shot First?" comic that just carries all of the stupid changes Geroge Lucas made to his own movies to their logical conclusions.
    So like, Han Solo dies right away and Luke & Obi Wan fly away with Chewbacca. R2-D2 gets stuck in some rocks and C-3PO gets killed by Tuskin Raiders (not referring to them as "sand people" is the one change that's actually better) and everything plays out much better until the Ewoks show up. More Ewoks die because some of them blinked at the wrong moment. Everyone at Jabba's Palace hates it there and is looking for an opportunity to politely leave. Stuff like that

      I figure it’s like building a PC where you can insert and connect different parts. Little Anakin was just able to scavenge a language card or something and insert it into C3PO, and so then he just knew those languages.
