Prologue
According to multiverse theory there are a limitless number of universes. Each of these universes is different in some way, some of them much different. Anything is possible in the vastness of the multiverse. Anything.
In one universe, the war between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance ended very differently. Obi-wan Kenobi survived his battle with Darth Vader but subsequently vanished, leaving Luke Skywalker and his friends alone with the responsibility to stop the Empire. They joined the Rebel Alliance and fought in the Battle of Yavin, but without the voice of Obi-Wan's Force Ghost to aid him, Luke failed in his mission and the Death Star survived, destroying Yavin 4 and killing off the Rebel Alliance. Luke died in the battle while Han and Chewie managed to escape the chaos, but they were forced into hiding at the edge of the galaxy. With the rebellion crushed, the Empire secured their control of the galaxy, eliminating all remaining threats until the Sith had the entirety of the galaxy within their grip. Now they look beyond their galaxy, into the wider reaches of the universe.
On the other side of the universe, earth lies in relative ignorance. Earth is protected by a combination of heroes from both DC and Marvel, who exist side by side. Bruce Wayne has been operating as Batman in Gotham City for nearly a decade now, though he is little more than an urban legend. The vigilante known as the Arrow has been the protector of Starling City for nearly three years, and other heroes such as the Atom, Black Canarie, and the Flash have recently surfaced, following his example. The Avengers have been earth's protectors since the fall of SHIELD a little over a year ago, with their newest members, Scarlett Witch, Quicksilver, and Vision being invaluable additions to the team. However, not long after Ultron was defeated a new race of aliens attacked earth, forcing the alien being known as Kal-El out of hiding, revealing himself as the powerful being known as Superman.
Not everyone is satisfied with the Avengers. After the disastrous events with Ultron, several older heroes, such as Batman and the immortal Amazon Wonder Woman, have surfaced that don't believe the earth's safety should be kept in the hands of those that nearly destroyed it. After an initial meeting that was less than friendly, Batman and Superman grew to understand each other and together they founded the Justice League, recruiting Wonder Woman, the Arrow, the Flash, and Green Lantern to create their new team. Unfortunately this team is still new, and they don't yet work very well together as a team.
Can these two teams of heroes protect earth from what is to come? Or will the Empire rise triumphant yet again? What role might the Empire have already played in our heroes' pasts? We will just have to read on and find out.
Author's note: Star Wars Episodes I-III are canon, as are the majority of the events of A New Hope up until the attack on the Death Star. Man of Steel, Arrow Seasons 1-3 and the Flash season 1 are also canon, along with all movies and television shows in the MCU up to the end of the Avengers: Age of Ultron(or what I am guessing will be the end). The general idea of Batman v Superman has happened, but obviously none of us know exactly what happens in that film. The Green Lantern movie is not canon, but Hal Jordan is present and a major character. How does all this fit together? I guess we'll find out together.
