What would have happened if Han & Chewie had killed Vader in Episode 4?

Vader was pretty helpless in space after the other TIE collision. If they had a mind to, wouldn't have taken much to run down Vader's fighter and destroy it.

Would there have been any major changes in the Rebel Alliance vs Empire? I'm trying to think of any major moments directly influenced by Vader alone.

Luke would not have become a Jedi (or maybe became palpatines student). Palpatine would wreck shite and further consolidated power unopposed.

They should have sent a cyborg back in time to kill Shmi Skywalker ten years before Episode 1.

The series ends and the non fans are spared from it?

Probably not.
Though maybe the military focuses on the Mon Calamari fleet instead of Luke and the Rebel base.
Though if Vader was dead then the Emperor would really be into finding Luke. Unless he already had a backup.
The actual loss of Tarkin was probably a bigger deal.

Episode IV.

I don't know if the MF could outmaneuver Vader's ship. Vader could easily turn the tables on him.

Then the Emperor would've turned Luke, he would've never had the example of his father. It would've been a darkntime for the Galaxy

I’m interested in the trilogy where Rey dies facefirst in the snow by Kylo’s hand.

And maybe the show where Vader decapitates Reva before she starts talking in the first episode

It's Star Wars. Not Episode IV. Not A New Hope. Just Star Wars.

He would probably just come back to life like many other SW characters.

What would have happened if Vader didn't show off in Rogue One killing each person slowly and just got the plans back? He could have used the force to yank back the plans too:





Lots of plot holes throughout this entire series.
