What if, on a backwater planet near/in the Outer Rim, a skilled young newcomer in need of credits joins one of the many illegal swoop-races, wins easily, and is soon being paid by the local gangsters to race for them?
But then, just as things are looking up, the local law enforcement agencies arrive, and...(I'll let you devise the ensuing shootouts, high-speed chases, and, of course, the fate of the racer)

What if Boba Fett was hired for one-billion (Or more) credits to attack the ultimate target: The Emperor!!!
(End twist note: Iif you want your story to have a cool twist at the end, you could have the real employer actually be the Emperor, who reveals himself only at the end. He could than ask Fett to join the Empire, now that he has "passed the test", or something along those lines. I'll leave Boba Fett's answer up to you guys.)

1. I've already tinkered with this idea but what if at least 200 years after the Battle of Endor, the Trade Federation returned with new droids, more power and a new prototype Suncrusher that causes the Republic and Empire to crumble?

2. What if the Jedi and Sith were all extinct and then reborn in the same time era. Whom of the Dark Siders would claim to be the true DLOS?

3. What if Mara Jade and Luke had teamed up and killed Palpatine, becoming the Emperor and Empress of the galaxy, who would fight them?

4. What if Vader had found out how to transfer his soul into a clone, and had not told this to Palpatine when he was killed? What would Vader do to repent for his sins against slaughtering The Jedi?

5. What if Sidious was in fact Palpatines twin brother, killed him and took over his identity, how would the secret come out? What would be the result?

In the WEG Imperial sorce book it say that the military arm of compnor is resented among the imperials because they get all the best equipment. On the TIE fighter technical commentary page off this one (theforce.net) it say that TIE Avengers and TIE Defenders are used by highly skilled TIE pilots who are very loyal. This would fit the compnor image. Maybe you could have a story about a compnor guy and follow him as he attacks what the TIE fighter TC page said was that the Emperor used the Avengers and defender squads to fight warlordism among his own Navy. Following one of them would make for a great story with many possibilities.

Set many years after ROTJ (in fact, it's today), the Jedi have created a "vaccine" to make worthy people into Jedi. Only six are left, and the Sith have re-emerged and have found the formula to the Vaccine, and are turning innocent people into Sith. One day, the Jedi encounter a falling spaceship, that only contains carbonite. When they let the inhabitant out, he reveals that he was one of the people used to make stormtroopers. He says that he was frozen so that he couldn't rebel, and blasters being fired in the place he was at would be foolish. They make him into a Jedi, and then he reveals that the Death Star was recreated and was abandoned. Then they find the ghosts in the Death Star...

A Jedi couple flee the carnage (light Jedi killing light Jedi, mind you, because they each think the other group has turned to the dark side) with their small children, and encounters Force-senstivies in the Unknown Regions, start up their own Jedi Order, and sort it all out.

Four Tie Fighters were shot down as the Millenium Falcon made its escape from Death Star I. According to Leia, Tarkin and Vader this was supposed to happen. (as per Vader's plan)
Who were the pilots? Were they newly recruited fighter pilots? Or better yet, could they have been incompetant officers (possibly inept engineers and techies with minimal flight training) that Vader wanted to do away with?
What does that make Vader, sacrificing four individuals in the hopes that they WOULD FAIL?
