Imagine an AU where Maul manages to kill Obi-Wan and takes his place in the OT
In Twin Suns, Maul somehow kills Obi-Wan. This results in him losing all direction in his life. He’s spent decades craving for revenge, and now that he’s finally achieved it, he has nothing left. Maul sticks around on Tatooine, even moving into Obi-Wan’s sad little hut. He has this annoying little voice in his head that tells him to do good things??? (It’s really just Obi-Wan’s force ghost that Maul can’t see)
When Luke shows up with the droids and Leia’s message (since nobody knows Maul killed Obi-Wan), they just look at each other like 👁️👁️ who tf are you??? But because Maul can’t resist the opportunity to have an apprentice, he goes with Luke to deliver the Death Star plans. And because the voice in his head told him to. Besides, this kid is strong in the force, not teaching him would be a missed opportunity.
Luke still gets Anakin’s lightsaber (Maul didn’t want it since blue isn’t his color). Unfortunately he misses out on a lot of important exposition. Like the fact that his father was a jedi. Oh well. That’s probably not important.
They get to the Death Star, Maul does Obi-Wan’s job. When he runs into Vader, he just runs away because Maul is not stupid enough to stay and fight. So now he’s on his way to the rebellion with the rest of the characters.
Vader is left wondering a) how the hell Maul is still alive and b) what was he doing on the Death Star???
Maul joins the rebellion (despite anyone who recognizes him telling him he can’t do that) because he’s desperate to have Luke as his apprentice, and Luke in his naïveté vouches for Maul because surely this guy who has helped them a lot is a good guy 😊

Omega is joining the Rebellion as a pilot.
There is a very real possibility that she will cross paths with both Luke and Han — and oh boy!
Can you imagine her challenging these two to flying competitions? Even better, can you imagine her getting her hands on either (or both) Luke’s X-Wing or the Millennium Falcon? Yeah. That’s a series of Star Wars shorts I’d watch.
I can’t tell if Han would be terrified of her or outright despise her, but Chewbacca would definitely love her. She’s figuring out how to do stuff with the Falcon that Han didn’t know was possible. (Would she figure out how to improve the Falcon over Han’s vehement protests? Depends on how much time she has on her hands.)
Luke would probably be awestruck and mildly in love at seeing the stunts she’s can pull in an X-Wing. That boy had hillbilly/redneck tendencies on Tatooine, so you know he’d vibe with her Batch (and ARC Trooper) chaos. He’d ask her to teach him how to do that with an X-Wing (up to and possibly including one of her signature moves, the Tech Turn).

My thoughts on the announcement of a new SW film about Rey and rebuilding the Jedi Order
First off...
VINDICAAAAAATIOOOOOOON!
Turns out all of those click bait YouTube videos about how the sequels would be erased/rebooted/retconned out were lying out of their asses and just saying what people wanted to hear because youtube's algorithm favors negativity
In any case, here are the things I want to see in the movie
Bisexual Rey, let her being the successor to Obi-Wan's Bi energy
Rose, see above
Millennium Falcon in Jedi colors, I want to see the old girl refurbished and given a new coat of paint with the Jedi emblem, and Chewbacca is in this movie as the Jedi chauffeur
speaking of returning characters, R2 and 3P0, gotta have em, no arguments allowed,
Ghost Luke, get Mark Hamill back as Luke in the spirit guide role
(also have something where Luke acknowledges/approves of Rey taking on the Skywalker name so people will shut up about that)
Acknowledge Finn as a Jedi in some way, I know John Boyega is rightfully done with the franchise over how he was treated, so how about instead we get so mention of him in the film, a passing mention of "Master Finn" or "Finn is off on a mission with his Padawan"
X-Wings, Jedi edition, I love Jedi starfighters, so I want Rey and the new Jedi to have their own model of X-Wing, built and designed for Jedi pilots
Return of that classic Jedi fashion style, specifically in Rey's case I want her to have robes like Ep I Obi-Wan
Jedi babies, show me the Younglings
Jedi Momma Rey
given that the official description for the movie involves Rey defending the rebuilding Jedi Order, I expect to see Rey protecting the younglings
similar note, but there's something I hope for the plot, Rey is obviously the main character, but maybe there's a pack of Jedi Padawans as the supporting characters
and for my most left-field, "unlikely to happen but god it would be amazing" thing I want to happen...
Old Master Reva
have Reva return, now in her 80s, as a Jedi Master and advisor to Rey, maybe she can be the Creche-Master watching over the younglings
