What if, in A New Hope, instead of destroying the Death Star, Luke's proton torpedo had malfunctioned? What if, in The Empire Strikes Back, Han had not arrived on that Hoth ice field in time to save Luke from freezing to death? What if, in Return of the Jedi, Leia's thermal detonator destroyed Jabba the Hutt's palace before she could rescue Han?

The familiar players - Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Darth Vader - are launched onto new trajectories that send them toward dire consequences and unexpected futures!
