What if the Star Wars universe found Earth? Considering how far away the Star Wars galaxy is, and how long ago the events took place, what would the forces be like?
Would they be Jedi?
Sith conquerors?
Or would there be a new faction in power?
What other outcomes would there be?
First. I think, plot wise, it’s gonna be the jedi. The force is a universal force, so it’s not going to change much in difference galaxy.
We’d just be indoctrinated into the Empire, and probably exploited for materials. Nothing surprising here. Boring scenario for just a regular Earth.
It would be interesting if a new faction was in power.
At least, if this happened, lightsabers, real ones, might become readily available to the public.
Mark Hamill would be identified as Luke Skywalker MMXII.
They’d be surprised on the amount of information we have on them and George Lucas would be considered a god due to his ability to influence the events that happened or will happen to them.
“the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the plot”
The Power Levels would be OVER 9000!!!!!!!
The fun part of “a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away” is…
-
“Considering how far away the Star Wars galaxy is,”
-
Any galaxy at all is “far far away”, and…
-
“and how long ago the events took place”
-
Anywhere from 50-100 years could be called “a long long time ago”.
@Shgon
Now all we need is someone to try the Tenchi Muyo-verse finding this plane of reality and then another stage in factpile’s life will be completed, right?
NUKING TIME!
Honestly, the only real change for the SW side, is the abundance of proof that humans evolved here…. Which will just rase a LOT of questions, though if we’re lucky, we could use it to our advantage…. Are if we’re unlucky, it could get us blown up….
We would kill them with spears and logs.
We would probably take over the Empire very quickly.. Their storm troopers shoot like ass, they weren’t protected against kinetic weapons until after the movies, and their idea of air power is laughable. There’s a reason why the Empire gets trounced in any battle where they don’t just throw their heaviest shit at people. We’d reverse engineer their stuff pretty quick and our penchant for weapons of mass destruction would give us the ability to make anything shy of a real anti-planetary force an act of futility. When you pit villains from a PG movie up against all the know how and violence of an X-rated world.. it’s not going to end well for the movie folks. Combined with the fact that even if they upgrade their armor, we have bullet technology that’s ridiculously advanced compared to theirs, as they dropped the concept of advancing slug throwers eons ago in favor of blasters, and we have effective combined arms, land vehicles, ect.. it just is a stomp. That is how it would go in real life.. but Lucas and Spielberg have a different story to tell, and it doesn’t go like that, for you see…

Canon-wise, the Star Wars universe DID find Earth. The movie is called E.T. That is what happened when the Star Wars Universe found Earth.
Vader would send his Apprentice to try and find Soul Edge.
What if the doctor came to our universe? 11th doctor, meet Matt Smith.
@ford perfect
That’s a great idea
@Pvt. Khaos
HEY STEPHEN MOFFAT!! Here’s an idea for you…
From the header it does not necessarily have to be the Empire that finds Earth, even with the picture of the star destroyer since the New Republic and the Alliance both used the same SDs as the Empire did (literally in the case of the new republic though they built some new ones too).
-
Even in the imperial period the Empire did not interfere with the local governments much unless they had to, it just was not logistically feasible to do so. That means at the worst there would be little difference for the average Terran except access to higher technology unless Earth has some kind of value as a pawn in the sith plans.
From my vary small knowledge of the EU, anybody from SW who’d managed to get to Earth, would of needed to of had a LOT of Force users in order to of gotten out of the SW galaxy in the first place.
-
Also, ET went not just through space, but also time, and maybe even dimensions to get here(if you even count the easter-egg of his people being in SW as canon in the first place).
If the empire attack earth, we’re doom! Even without their orbital bombadement (which, we have nothing to counter), they’ll outnumber us. The clone troopers can’t aim, but they have a huge number advantage. And the sith is more than enough to assasinate our leader. We’ll cause great casulity for them, but we don’t stand a chance.
@Khazit
They didn’t state if its just the Empire itself or the Yuuzhan Vong, keep that matter in mind, okay?
It is possible that The Children of the Green Planet found something like the infinity gate or some kind of wormhole that allowed them access to the milky way galaxy near Earth without too much travel time. If that was the case then it would not be impossible for other ships to make the passage if they are not too big or otherwise prevented from doing so.

-
True, but remember, the Star Wars movies existed in ET, so something more then just a wormhole was going on.
@cross: as I stated above, I didn’t think that the empire will be the one who visit earth. I only want to make it clear that we don’t stand a chance again any star war factions.
Neither the sith nor the empire are big on exploring for explorations sake so it probably would not be either of them anyway. The old republic sent some exploration missions out in various directions but mostly left it up to individual companies or local governments to do. Most of the large area governments like the republic would probably ignore the poking around of E.T.s people until they brought the planet into the mainstream and opened up trade (if they ever did). If an SD did show up in orbit it would be more likely to be Errant Venture nosing around a possible new market in primitive art or drugs or whatever for old cheap but still advanced SW tech items than it would be any official government unit like a commissioned military vessel. Compared to Star Trek, Star Wars governments seem to be remarkably uncurious about what is out beyond their borders.
Judging by the fall of Krayt’s Galactic Empire, I would say that the Galactic Federation Triumvirate would be in power and that they would be the ones who visit earth. Of course, this is merely speculation.

Consider this passage of RotS Novelization prologue:
“This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it.
It is a story of love and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, courage and sacrifice and the death of dreams. It is a story of the blurred lines between our best and our worst.
It is the story of the end of an age.
A strange thing about stories-
Though this all happened so long ago and so far away that words cannot describe the time or the distance, it is also happening right now. Right here.
It is happening as you read these words.”
.
While we can write most of that up as figurative, I think we can safely assume the parts of Star Wars that we know are clearly far more than just a century or two back.
.
“Canon-wise, the Star Wars universe DID find Earth. The movie is called E.T. That is what happened when the Star Wars Universe found Earth.”
.
Lets say the whole universe, not just a single ship from an unimportant race.

If you’re referring to Outbound Flight, the only reason the Jedi were involved was because plotting courses through uncharted space is dangerous – as Han once put it, “Traveling through space isn’t like dusting crops boy. You can fly right through a sun or bounce too close to a supernova and that’d end your trip real quick.” So they needed Jedi to help plot the course. However, considering how long ago Star Wars took place, they’d have had a lot of time to explore surrounding space.
.
“Compared to Star Trek, Star Wars governments seem to be remarkably uncurious about what is out beyond their borders.”

I agree for two reasons.
1. Despite the 1000 years of peace during the Old Republic era, the Star Wars galaxy has been at war almost constantly. As soon as a group comes to power, its immediately challenged. If one does end up consolidating power, we usually see rebellions or constant on-and-off fighting until the group falls. This kind of makes it hard to explore.
2. Since SW ftl takes them out of realspace, it makes it pretty difficult to map uncharted space. Realspace FTL + SF sensors = greatest exploration vessels. And for the fact there isn’t much in the Outer Rim that would cause the Empire to investigate.
.
I personally think that exploration would be done by Light Side folks. But our numbers would draw us into wars immediately.

No, I was talking about the barrier that the EU says is around the SW galaxy, though it’s vary existence is about as… “consistent” as everything else in the EU.

Here’s what I was talking about.

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hyperspace_disturbance_beyond_the_edge_of_the_galaxy
Obviously from the presence of the Children of the Green Planet on Earth they found some way of resolving or getting around the problem of the barrier and other obstacles.

..Save for the time travel…. And Star Wars being a movie in ET….
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are friends. Steven agreed to reference Star Wars in his E.T. movie and George agreed to reference E.T. in his next Star Wars movie.

“And Star Wars being a movie in ET….”
-That should be proof enough for anyone.
Still, them finding us doesn’t help us much in the grand scheme of things.
-
Yes we have better tactics… But as is it will be hundreds if not thousands of years till we have any real way to use that.
-
Maybe if we had some resource that we could use, like a lot of Force-users, or the like.
-
….What if George Lucas turns out to be fifty times as powerful in the Force then the Chosen One?
” ..Save for the time travel…. And Star Wars being a movie in ET…. ”
-
It could be that whatever method they found to make the trip connects their spacetime to ours in that relationship.
-
It could also be a case of massive dilation though that would be rather uninteresting since it would isolate the two galaxies by so much time that back and forth crossings would be impractical.
-
With all of the seers in the SW galaxy the main effect of the movies would have would probably be amusement that the Terrans did not realize it was real and probably an appreciation for Lucas’s storytelling skill since most seers don’t seem to be able to describe what they see very well.
Its not a what if… Its a when if. And when it does happen, I will reveal that The Force is strong with me…
russia and china would side with empire, usa and france with the rebellion, because we’re stupid like that. actually, obama would apologize to iran and egypt for not moving the earth out of the way.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILfHXjratuw this is what would happen
If the sith were there, we would probably be forced as a puppet state of the empire, but if our bullets are more effective than their blasters, things might turn out differently.
