Star Wars.
What if Luke's first shot at the Death Star's small thermal exhaust port (right below the main port) is a miss?
The Death Star then fires and destroys the 4th moon of Yavin, where the Rebel base was. Hundreds are vaporized, including Leia and Threepio.
Since Vader and his escort had already been scattered by Han's attack, Luke is still all clear. So he makes another attack run, and this time hits the target. Han and Luke speed away as the Death Star explodes.
But
they
were
too
late!
They weep for the loss of Leia and the Rebels, and vow to fight again another day.
In the sequel R2 builds a Threepio replacement, and Leia appears from time to time as a ghost of the Force.
