The Empire begins 10-12 years earlier. The siege of Naboo escalates rapidly, provoking the onset of the Clone Wars instead. Order 66 comes 7 years early, the Jedi better prepared for the deceit. Mace Windu survives the battle with Palpatine to warn the rest, leading to greater survival for the whole. And in the underlevels of Coruscant, the Council-in-exile seek liasons with what will become the Rebel Alliance.
A less naive Padme Amidala finds she can no longer hide from the atrocities committed in the name of retaliation for her people, and takes her place in the Imperial court.
And in the turmoil of all the war, the clones, and the billions of deaths that ensued, a former padawan had no room for a learner of his own - and a former slave no place within the Jedi Order.
I can't get this idea out of my head, so there are definitely going to be more of these. (It's a combination of the trio with something more Dark Times and an excuse to draw a lot of costume porn, how can I resist myself)
