One interesting concept is exploring the backstories of minor characters. For example, in some fanfictions, they might delve into the past of a random stormtrooper, showing how they ended up in the Empire.

There are several great plot ideas. For instance, imagine a situation where Yoda, before his death, set in motion a series of events that are only starting to unfold during the Rebels' time. Maybe he planted the seeds for a new Jedi order in a very secretive way. A young Rebel might stumble upon these secrets. Another idea is that Yoda's teachings, which were thought to be lost, are rediscovered by the Rebels through an ancient Jedi artifact. This discovery changes the way they approach the fight against the Empire. And what about a story where Yoda's influence reaches out to a non - Force - sensitive character in Rebels, inspiring them to do great things for the Rebellion in a different way?

There could be a fanfiction where Vader has an unexpected alliance with a rebel. Maybe they are forced to work together to stop a greater threat, like a rogue Sith or a powerful alien race that wants to destroy both the Empire and the Rebellion.
