To the creators credit, most of those exceptionally ridiculous Gundams are there as a one-minute joke, and never seen again after blowing up.

 

This is less a plot bunny and more a way to implement a Star Wars crossover that had occurred to me at one point.

At some point in the Star Wars history, the shifting clouds of space dust in the Unknown Regions open up a path that allows vessels to explore the area. One of the planets they come across is [INSERT CROSSOVER WORLD HERE]. Being a primitive planet incapable of FTL travel, Republic policy is to leave said world alone until such time that it develops the level of technology that would allow it to join the Republic (or if you are using the Empire, they just don't give a shit).

HOWEVER, scans of the planet show that the local cultivated plant life had developed an unheard-of attribute: it actually thrives on the <carbon scoring/nitrogen poisoning/phlebotinum> residue left behind by <heavy weapons fire/industrial pollutants>. This attribute, which would save billions upon billions of credits in <re-terraforming/pollutant disposal>.

Since it is a protected underdeveloped world, corporations cannot just come in and strip-mine the place--despite the Trade Federation's attempts to the contrary (Empire: they tried raising the plants on their own, and failed). This allows the Republic to send diplomats (and Jedi) to the planet to make deals with the local government(s), granting the planet technology development, a sponsor, and eventual seat in the Republic in exchange for allowing the plants to be taken to affected planets in the galaxy and the expertise of the farmers in raising them.



This is the remnants of an idea for a Naruto crossover, way back when. I was going to have rice as the plant in question, and the local shinobi population was going to be of great interest to the Jedi for the variety of abilities and their ability to use elemental but not telekinetic force powers that stray along the path to the Dark Side without actually succumbing to it. The Bijuu were going to be composed of the cast-off negative emotions from shinobi that allowed them to use their powers as they did, and some local esoteric radiation either from the star or a mineral in the planet caused the mutation that allowed this.

It was going to take place in pre-Empire Republic, Naruto was going to be slightly older than Obi-Wan and was initially mistaken as the Chosen One due to being a Jinchuuriki (either a false claim, or it would have been ambiguous as to which one actually was the Jedi Messiah). Yoda may have been his master at some point, more for their natures playing off of one another and for him to keep an eye on Naruto due to a few actions causing concern.

As Naruto got older, his heritage as a shinobi would cause a disagreement with the Jedi Council, since due to the mutation from his planet allows him to easily walk the path of a Grey Jedi and him not seeing the necessity of suppressing negative emotions. Eventually this would lead him to leaving the Jedi Order and becoming a sort of mercenary/political bodyguard/what-not. He would still be friends with Obi-Wan, and a sort of uncle/mentor figure to Anakin. This would be instrumental in preventing Anakin from becoming Vader, as a mentor figure who isn't grieving over the loss of their father figure would provide necessary support for his issues, and the fact that he is not aligned with the Council yet still a Jedi (sort of) would allow him to voice his fears (being held back, his emotions over the death of his mother and his slaughter of the Sand People, etc.).

After that I don't know. That's as far as I got. I guess hugs and puppies and babies and shit afterwards. I wash my hands of the idea.


I would like to hear what people think of the set-up premise though (not necessarily the Naruto part, I just mentioned it to get it out of my head).

 

I have a crack-fic similar to this. I don't go into why the Elemental Nations world is considered off-limits, but I have Jedi showing up there and Naruto going out into the Republic. Not at all a serious take on your idea, but similar.

--------------------------​

Here's a Naruto crossover plot bunny:
Naruto + Predators. Story starts out similar to how the 2010 Predators movie begins, with a group of people dropped from the sky into the middle of a jungle where they find themselves being hunted by the alien Predators for sport on an alien planet.

The story begins with different shinobi finding themselves alone/with a stranger. They are from different villages and have to deal with hostilities between ninja from rival nations. This could work well with original characters or with canon characters around the power of the Rookie 9 perhaps throwing in 1 or 2 jounin.

 

I don't care much about my Naruto/SW crossover idea much. Most of the concept sucks tbh.

As for Naruto and Predators...I can't see it working too well. The plot of it was that all(most) of the people there were badasses in their field of combat. At least that is what they were on Earth. On NarutoWorld, unless just random shinobi are picked up, most higher-level ninja have extensive practice fighting guerrilla wars and ambushes from both sides. Their elemental techniques would devastate the forest, cloaking wouldn't do much, they could treewalk over traps, and most would move ten times faster and hit twelve times harder than any Predator ever could.

It's more of a general problem you see when trying to cross over a shonen anime or comic book and any setting that actually subscribes to the notion of physics. They just ignore them so hard that it just becomes a curbstop battle for the most part.

 

Yes, that would be the thing to avoid. I should have been more specific: Canon characters like the rookie 9 during the Chuunin exam arc or even Pre-Wave arc if necessary, not Shippuden era.

Keep in mind that the predators have invisibility, blade weapons that fire fast enough you could compare it to Zabuza's silent killing technique, laser attacks, infrared tracking, etc. It would be interesting.

Including jounin would imbalance things, unless they were rather seriously injured from the start.

 

Either that or just drop a Predator in the Naruto world and see how long it lasts.

 

Drop a predator in the naruto world and have it learn to become a ninja.

 

There's something wrong with me.

I want to do a Fate Stay Night + Smurfs crossover. That or HP. It would be truly horrible, but perhaps atrociously funny for a few minutes.

I have no interest in MLP, but MLP vs The Smurfs would be pretty hilarious too, like with a giant war n' everything.

 

Had a Dresden Files/Skyrim pseudo-bunny at work that I've been trying to pick holes in. Tell me if you spot anything.

The idea is that Margaret 'LeFay' Dresden arrives in Skyrim (either through shenanigans after giving birth to Harry, though that seems asspull-like) or through making a mistake in her wanderings, which would leave her in Sheogorath's realm of Oblivion (essentially just another part of the Nevernever). She'd quickly realise how deep in the shit she is and open a portal that would drop her in Skyrim.

As a side note, I'd probably place Nirn as the major planet in the reality it inhabits, as Earth is in the Dresden Files. There's even a nice divide between the Aedra and Daedra we can compare to the Angels/Fallen.

Since she'd be wary of heading back through Sheogorath's realm, and given her apparent wanderlust would want to explore a bit, she steadily gets involved in the Civil War and dragon crisis. I'm thinking that she'd probably become a mentor of sorts to Elisif, maybe after taking down Potema, but there are other options (like joining up with the Dragonborn or taking on/allying with Serana).

I have Margaret down as more of a politician than a fighter, so I'd probably not involve her in the main quest (plus, how many times have we seen that done?) but there's a lot of potential for a character like her to make waves. As well as that, a big part of the story would be her having to resist giving in to the black magic she's already committed in a world that does not have the same prohibition on killing with magic.

 

Yeah, that is pretty horrible. Sadly, I thought of a Smurf/HP crossover as well, but I'd throw in the Gummi Bears into the mix.

 

Smurfs? You mean the magical forest creatures that Hagrid was talking about at his last lesson?

They could totally work in a HP world.

 

A HP/Smurf crossover, Hm. In one of those you will need to have Snape as Gargamel, chasing Smurfs wanting to eat them.

 

You know, in the Smurfs cartoon, as I remember, Gargamel wanted the Smurfs so he could use them to turn base metals into gold.

Is there something that Flamel isn't telling us?

 

No wonder the Philosopher's Stone is so hard to make. Muahaha.

And which Harry Potter character most closely resembles Gargamel and likes to play potions? On the other hand, if you look closely at Mrs. Norris's eyes, there is some resemblance to Azrael...

 

Snape does if you look at the book cover versions and not the Alan Rickman versions. Then you've got Peter Pettigrew, who looks horribly Gargamely. Maybe that ritual to ressurect Voldemort required a few more ingredients...

on another note; you have the weirdest plot bunnies and challenges puiwaihin

 

To give credit where it's due, Chime mentioned the HP/Smurfs idea first. I was just saying I'd had the idea myself before.

I take it as a compliment.

 

So, Fate/Zero idea based on several stories (Things like Want and Need, and Fate: Zero Sense) though on a tad smaller scale. Basically, Waver Velvet refrains from stealing Kayneth's artifact, and summons a different servant instead. (Pretty much what he does in Want and Need) However, instead of Enkidu, he summons a servant from the fifth war. I haven't really figured out who he'd summon, but I have it narrowed down to either Archer (Obviously not as the Archer class though...or maybe he could be, hmmmm) or Lancer (Cu Chulainn). The latter because Lancer is a Boss, and the former because I really do/see an EMIYA vs Iskander fight. I'd probably have to go with Lancer, just to be able to keep the other Servants as their respective classes, because I'm not entirely sure EMIYA could be summoned as the Lancer class. I mean, he probably could, but I think there'd be a kind of order to what he summoned as, depending on whats available. (I.e. Archer > Saber (Probably) > and then I'd say it'd be a toss up between Lancer and Caster)

Not much to the idea, but it's really only half-thought out at this point...

 

A crossover of Conan The Barbarian (books) and Lord of the Rings.

This crossover would assume that both happened in the same universe, but in different time periods. Due to some magical event, Conan is frozen in time and awakens a year before the events of the Fellowship (this is to allow him to learn about his current situation and the world).

Although, I'm not sure which one would actually happen first...perhaps LotR happens earlier and therefore Conan is sent back in time?

Does anyone know 'when' did the events of LotR happen in relation to Earth's history?

 

The events of Lord of the Rings took place at the end of the Third Age. It's assumed that we currently live in the Seventh Age that began with the fall of the Nazi Party. To quote the LotR wiki:

EDIT: The First Age lasted about 900 years, while the Second and Third lasted a little over 3000 years each (about 3430 for Second, 3020 for Third). Each Age usually ends with the conclusion of a major even such as a war that will re-define the face of Arda afterward.

At this point, I'm making an educated guess with no backing in lore. The end of one of the ages, presumably the end of the Fifth Age, would be the collapse of the Roman Empire, using the widely accepted date of the end of 'ancient' history: 476 AD, the year the last Roman Emperor gave up his title.

The end of the Fourth Age would presumably either happen before the beginning of written history (about 5000 years ago), or more likely just after, with some catastrophe devastating the world and destroying most technology and writings, with only the Red Book of Westmarch and a few others surviving long enough for Tolkien to find and translate them (The Red Book is the collected recollections of Bilbo, Frodo and Sam detailing their adventures).

 

Interesting, in Robert E. Howard's artificial legendarium, the Hyborian Age is chronologically situated between two other eras: "The Pre-Cataclysmic Age" of Kull (c. Upper Paleolithic 20,000 B.C.) and the onslaught of the Picts (c. 9,500 B.C.).

So can we safely assume that Conan takes place before LotR? I think we could. Because ~10,500 years is a lot of time.
