Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
Well, they'd own it. And the point at which Homeline abandoned making blockbuster movies in favour of just yerking them from other lines was past, so their Lucas might not have ever made a set of prequels anyway.

Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
I don't know that it necessarily would, and I'm pretty confident it wouldn't make anywhere *near* as much money as Lucasfilms made on our timeline. Remember these things aren't being introduced into OTL, they're being introduced into Homeline, where they are in competition with several dozen other different "greatest science fiction films ever made", including a couple likely to have been released within a month or two.

Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
How is nabbing stuff that's about to be lost or destroyed and never recovered interfering with the timeline? After all, if nobody ever finds out it went missing to another timeline rather than the bottom of the sea, it won't affect anybody's decisions or lives, will it?

Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
I don't know how "valuable" they would be...but what about parallels or echos from which breeding populations of Hobbits (Homo floresiensis) and Titanthropes (Titanthropus clemensi from Riverworld) have been rescued? I've always wanted to play a Patrol agent who was a Titanthrope, but my GM always nixed the idea. (Something about how it's REALLY difficult for an 8' tall humanoid with a schnoz the size of a normal human's head to be inconspicuous much of anywhere...)

Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
Doesn't one of the Time Travel, Alternate Earths, or Infinite Worlds books have a list of "alternate books by authors"?

The I-Cops' Human Trafficking squad, largely made up of surviving former abductees and family members who saw too much, might care very much indeed.

Enough Wealth, Contacts, and Favors can give you Legal Immunity. Unless the dominant species is Homo Moralus, but then they wouldn't be stealing other planets property and ideas without compensation either.
