Trivia / Star Wars Infinities

• What Could Have Been: Peter David was initially tapped to write the first Star Wars Infinities mini-series, which would have adapted A New Hope. The comic would have seen Uncle Owen buying R5-D4 instead of R2-D2, which would have set off a chain of events that ended with Princess Leia usurping Darth Vader and the Emperor, and becoming a Sith Lord and the new ruler of the galaxy. She also would have taken on Luke as her apprentice and lover (since neither of them knew they were related). Understandably, Lucasfilm objected to the dark tone and the depiction of Brother–Sister Incest.
