Happens about a year before episode 4

- Seeing the Bothans steal the secrets for the death star – that would be a cool arc that could run through the entire story line
- Incom develop the X-Wing and then leave the Empire to give the starfighter to the rebellion
- Vader hunting down the remaining Jedi spread out throughout the galaxy. The best bit is that Vader doesn’t even need to talk, he could just go around like the terminator all bad-ass and full of the dark side.
- Corellians! They build the best space freighters and vessels and some of the key characters in the original trilogy – Han Solo, Wedge Antilles to name a couple. Even Dengar the bounty hunter is from Corellia. I would love an interesting plot twist along the lines of the second generation of clones (i.e. the Stormtroopers) being based off of a new genetic host – Dengar (he does wear the armour after all). That could go a long way to explaining how the went from being kick-ass to being cannon fodder. After all Dengar does not stack up at all compared to Fett (the All-Black).
- Slavery of the wookies and how some of them break out from their captivity.
- The growing of the rebellion, to include aliens from other planets and systems including the Mon Calamari, the Sullustans, the Ishi Tib, the Bothans, etc. This would expand the universe for me by the very nature of the new locales that we haven’t seen anywhere other than in cartoons and comics.

I would also like to see the expansion of some of the other minor characters. We have people like:
- Captain Raymus Antilles, who is Bail Organa’s right hand man and also captain of the Corellian Corvette that Leia commands to steal the secrets of the Death Star. He is the owner of R2-D2 and C-3PO until the two of them fall into the hands of Luke and Obi-Wan. He could have many subversive adventures
- Some of the Rebel and Imperial officers. People such as Carlist Rieekan, Crix Madine, Maximilian Veers, and (captain/admiral) Piett.
- Some of the kick-arse females like Aurra Sing and Mara Jade. I would love to see them in action because Star Wars needs more chics who play decent parts in the script. They could expand on Juno Eclipse and her ongoing adventures.
- Other expanded universe characters who have become legendary – Dash Rendar, Kyle Katarn, Grand Admiral Thrawn! Grand Admiral Thrawn would be wicked and a whole group of Imperials from Chiss would look wicked in action.

Anyways, these are my thoughts. They could really do some cool stuff, but I am not keen on some of the lame stories that the Clone Wars have run. I agree with one of the persons above who said that thelive TV show should be for the adults!
