Star Wars Escape Pod

We all imagine moments in Star Wars that could have gone differently, weather it's a character line, a story plot, or even a whole cancelled project that nearly happened and didn't. Today we are talking the biggest missed opportunities that could have made Star Wars for the better, moments we never got spanning across the series. These aren't moments that didn't just happen, they're moments and things which ALMOST happened, which makes it even more crazy that they didn't!
