From what time period, when the started in the first Star Wars movie ore last. Eh, how about Han & Chewie from ROTJ for nostalgia’s sake? Ford could warn Han not to trust his son.

That does, however, rely on the assumption that Han trusts that “old joker who looks just like” him (a summations of what I’d imagine would be Solo’s words, not mine). Maybe since he hasn’t had his son at this point in time, he’d be more willing to keep his distance from Kylo Ren (also brought to life due to Adam Driver), or throw down with him as a last resort?

'Darth Vader SI To Darth Bane'. Does Darth Vader know Darth Bane history. I’d assume so, since at least Darth Sidious—and probably the Jedi while he was still Anakin Skywalker—would’ve taught him about Bane’s history and significance in shaping the Sith Order. So Vader wouldn’t be helpless if he found himself in the Rule of Two founder’s body a thousand years earlier.

But what would he change ore could it end up in a paradox where him being in Bane body would result in ending as we know it instead of doing anything different.

But what would he change ore could it end up in a paradox where him being in Bane body would result in ending as we know it instead of doing anything different. Good point. I suppose that to ensure that no paradox happens, Vader could wake up in the body of a Darth Bane who lives in an alternate, but identical timeline to his own (or at least, what was once identical). Even though he may still decide to take the future Darth Zannah as his apprentice, Vader would obviously hope to avoid getting bested by her as was true for OTL Bane. While he's at it, he might also add more diverse ingredients to the fighting style employed by OTL Bane, who specialized in Form V backed by elements of Forms III and VII. With Vader now in his body, he'll likely incorporate all forms of lightsaber combat into his personal approach.

'Chaos Space Marines To World War II', most likely via Warp shenanigans. All in all, this is probably a mass-death scenario.
Whether they be the World Eaters or Emperor's Children, the Death Guard or Thousand Sons, the Night Lords or Sons of Malice, these Astartes chapters are insanely overpowered compared to the forces of 1940s Earth. And their literally demonic alignment, unhinged atrocity streak, and indulgence in their own damnation would make them no better than the Nazis or Japanese.

A think one Chaos Space Marines can take out a army as long as it has ammunition.

And their literally demonic alignment, unhinged atrocity streak, and indulgence in their own damnation would make them no better than the Nazis or Japanese. A think one Chaos Space Marines can take out a army as long as it has ammunition. Probably, yeah. Knowing them, the Third Reich may well join the ranks of Chaos, viewing it as a force for its own personal gain—only to wind up consumed by it once it’s too late. Herr Hitler may not like the idea of yielding to these supposed “Dark Gods” that the Marines worship, but could still deem the risk acceptable anyway. He'll become Satan in the flesh thanks to the Ruinous Powers maddening him and his cronies even more than was true IOTL, but that's another story. I’m also guessing that Imperial Japan would worship Khorne, while other crazed groups like Ustase might side with Malice (the Renegade God). But I can’t say which god Fascist Italy will turn to, if they join Chaos at all.
In fact, perhaps Il Duce & Co. will be so freaked out by their fellow Axis Powers turning to Chaos that they'll side with the non-corrupted Allies. Because knowing Chaotic forces, they won’t take no for an answer. And yes, I know that Fascist Italy would make a tepid (and probably temporary) ally for liberal-democratic powers like the United States and Great Britain. However, since the latter two were willing to side with the Stalinist USSR if it meant crushing a common enemy IOTL, maybe they’d let Italy into the pack for now. Or rather, use it to buy themselves some time against the Chaotic Axis before Italy inevitably falls and gets eviscerated by its invaders.
Also, considering that World War II has become even nastier (because Chaos), maybe the nascent Emperor will choose to intervene. That said, if it turns out that no such being exists in this world and the Chaos Marines (and their newfound allies) are the only ones with Warp powers, well...

If the Imperium of Man is such a shit hole even as the premier galactic power of the 41st Millennium, then Earth may be the site of human extinction as Chaotic forces rampage across the planet and the Warp opens up and swallows the world. And even if the likes of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan finally realize who their Chaotic “allies” truly are on the precipice of the End Times, chances are it’ll be far too late to stop it. In fact, maybe they’ll be so far gone and Chaotically deranged by that point that they’ll rejoice in the upcoming oblivion. Mass-death scenario, amirite?

For contemporary intervention via yet more Warp shenanigans, ‘ISIL Gets Corrupted By Chaos’.

As an idea inspired by this dead fan work, 'Teen Titans To That '70s Show'. Alternatively, maybe Terra could get sent back to that time period instead. with her 21st-Century sensibilities clashing with that of the downtimer crowd.
