Halfway through the war, something Force-related happens and suddenly  three Obi-Wan look-alikes appear. Like, let’s say Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, Cody, and Rex are having a meeting about the upcoming battle and poof, there’s a flash of light and three people sitting on the floor looking just as confused as they are.
The three look-alikes are actually three of Ewan McGregor’s past characters, for this let’s say Roman Sionis (Birds of Prey), Dan Torrance (The Shining/Doctor Sleep), and Christopher Robin (Christopher Robin) because these are the only things I’ve watched with Ewan McGregor. Course all they know is that they happen to look and sound alike, and come to a conclusion of some weird inter-dimensional clone stuff happening (it’s not like they’re all going by the same name, so they can’t be the same person from different dimensions, right?).
Everyone is confused. They’re civilians, so they shouldn’t be brought onto the battlefield, but they probably shouldn’t be left to their own devices either. For plot’s sake, they’re each taken from after their respective films, and so Dan and Roman are inexplicably alive again but they aren’t questioning it.
Cody takes one look at Roman and just knows that This Man Has Something Wrong With Him. Roman is trying to act normal because while he might be a madman he knows when to play nice. Everyone knows he’s playing nice, but they don’t necessarily realize just how unhinged he is.
Christopher is super interested in all the technology-- sure, he knows magic, but space travel? He drives Anakin up the wall because he’ll act like the most normal, boring person in the world and then he’ll say the most bizarre thing Anakin has ever heard and there’s no in-between.
Meanwhile Dan is like. Vibing. This is the weirdest time of his life but it’s preferable to pretty much anything else he’s ever lived through. He spends ten minutes with Anakin and that ‘Same Hat’ meme flashes behind his eyes. Anakin doesn’t know why Dan is suddenly acting like he wants to be a big brother to him but he’s not against it...
Anyway the day is saved because the entire situation just derails things completely. Dan convinces Anakin he needs help, actually (Anakin listens because Dan isn’t shy about sharing his own traumas and mistakes). Christopher provides an interesting, new outlook on the war and politics and work vs life, utterly reminded about his old boss that overworked them while going on vacations (’you know,’ Ahsoka says, ‘you make a point about who is benefiting from the war’). Roman spends most of his time surrounded by a rotating set of guards so he can’t do anything nefarious (Cody: He has the General’s face but he is Worse Than Dooku, watch him with your lives) and afterwards every time one of the Troopers that have been on Roman Guard Duty is in the same room as Palpatine (it happens more often than you’d think, because Palpatine likes Anakin and Obi-Wan spends a lot of time with Anakin, which means the 212th are around Anakin, which means the 212th are around Palpatine) they realize the Vibes are the same.
Evidence against Palpatine grows, Dan has a dream about the chips and comes clean about his Shine, order 66 never happens and the war ends because three Obi-Wan lookalikes get stuck in the wrong dimension.
