Conceptual drawings from canceled Star Wars Battlefront IV reveal a twisted story of far galaxy

A few years ago, the British development team, Free Radical Design, joined the critically and commercially successful Star Wars Battlefront, but their first project, which was supposed to be the third major title in the series, was suddenly canceled. However, it did not dictate their ambition as the developer has already developed new ideas that it could apply to Star Wars Battlefront IV.

Namely, on Imgur, the popular page for sharing images, a bunch of conceptual drawings emerged that reveal how Free Radical Design was thinking of a completely different approach to the prequel trilogy. Their story located in an alternative version of far galaxy would present negatives as positives and vice versa. In other words, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Mace Wind would be seduced by the dark side of the Force, to which would join the evil Chewbacca in chains, while Darth Maul, Count Dooku and Asajj Vetress would recognize the bright side of the Force.

So the idea of Star Wars Battlefront IV game was based on "what would be the prequel trilogy going in a different direction". Specifically, in the fourth part, Anakin would have killed his beloved Padma but also Yoda from rage, after which he would become Sith, later also Vader who we all love. However, Vader would become the emperor or ruler of the entire Galactic Empire, but in the end he would have to make up for his crimes and kill his own son.

Even though this is not the first time the conceptual drawings for Star Wars Battlefront IV have ended up on the Internet, this is the first time fans have a chance to see how would the title look like if Free Radical Design stayed in the game.
