The fun thing about The Zillo Beast Strikes Back episode is that there are about eighty seven different ways it could be turned into a fix it au. For example:
- Space PETA finds out about all of this and tries to get Palps thrown out of office, exposing him as a Sith Lord
- Palpatine's pissed off constituents and co workers, after nearly dying for a science experiment, try and get him thrown out of office, exposing him as a Sith Lord
- Palpatine's guard says screw this and leaves him to get eaten
- R2 leaves Palps to get eaten
- Ezra Bridger gets thrown back in time, sees a massive beastie trying to eat Palpatine, goes "oh he gets me" and becomes best friends with the Zillo Beast and also kills Palpatine, therefore becoming Mace's favorite member of his lineage
- Padawan Cal Kestis heard about this and goes "ANIMAL RIGHTS" and Jaro Tapal decides to use this as a teachable moment about civil disobedience. Palpatine's death is just an ancillary benefit of Cal getting a cool new pet
- C3PO sues Palpatine for emotional damages, and Palpatine gets so angry in court that he outs himself as a Sith Lord
- Literally just. The Zillo Beast eats him. Is that so much to ask?
Feel free to add more and/or use any of these as fic ideas if they don't already exist!
