What planet will she land. Eh, maybe on Yavin IV? Perhaps Crain wakes up in the medical ward of the Rebel base, where she has her situation explained to her and whatnot. Odds are that she won’t have a clue what’s going on at first, with droids and aliens and some evil, galaxy-spanning “Empire” that her caretakers are fighting to unseat. Doubt Juliana Crain is special, she does not know anything about the universe where she landed, thus i think nothing much will happen. |

I checked wiki and is she the character from the Netflicts version of the "Man in the High Castle". Haven't read the plot summaries for the episodes bus suspect she would have nothing really to add. [Unless in the series the MitHC universe has some contact with ours in modern time and somehow hence she has some knowledge of the SW universe. Even if she did would she be believed?]

Well, even if Crain does know about OTL, it’d have been OTL as of 1962. Star Wars wasn’t released until 1977, so I’m guessing that she’d know nothing about the universe she woke up in, never mind the fact that someone from OTL created it. |

That depends if Star Wars was released in the Man in the High Castle universe and if it is the same as OTL as I doubt it. |

Maybe the closest thing they have in that universe is the exact opposite, as in a strong, ethnocentrist interstellar empire crushing insurgent “terrorists” and “civilizing” a galaxy teeming with inferior beings who deserve to be culled. They would, of course, try to paint this as a good and noble effort when the reality is that it’s, well, just plain not (as it pertains to fiction, anyway). In that case, for Juliana to wind up in a space-based setting where the opposite is true would be a real one-eighty. Although, she would probably feel some sense of kinship with the Rebel Alliance, considering that both it and her Resistance back home are fighting to unseat evil, totalitarian empires with axiomatic disregard for human (or rather, sentient) rights. |

Well that was my thought but a brief look at the summaries of the chapters from the TV series seems to mention actual communications with another TL. If this is pre ~1977 then it won't have any impact any way but wondering whether there would be some otherwise she's not really got anything at all to contribute other than another, somewhat confused and isolated individual who might aid the case.

What if young Bruce Wayne was bitten by a radioactive bat and become Man-Bat instead of Batman.

Ah. Well, I guess that even if she's not particularly significant in the grand scheme of things--and I doubt that she would be outside of maybe getting a glance at Luke Skywalker & Friends once or twice. That said, how her personal story unfolds as a young, alt-Sixties woman from Nazified earth who finds themselves in a galaxy teeming with spaceships, robots, aliens and two factions battling it out in the name of liberty and tyranny respectively, would still be interesting. |

Ah from that point of view yes I agree. As a personal character and live study and finding out the universe is far bigger and in many ways even darker than the world she knew and how she responds to that.

Indeed. Although I'm unsure whether she'd stay with them in the long haul, I still imagine that Juliana would still feel a sense of kinship with the Rebellion, since both it and her Resistance back home are in the business of resisting tyranny by way of totalitarian empires with axiomatic disregard for sentient rights. There's also the fact that, dictatorship aside, the Star Wars universe seems to be more socially permissive than what she's used to, i.e. gender equality with plenty of women serving in combat roles in the armed forces, as well as bounty hunters and other such private mercenary groups. |

‘Armed Libertarians To The Giver’. What an antithetical presence such an all-around pro-freedom crowd would be in a sterile, regimented, arguably communistic Community where only the Giver and Receiver of memory retain recollection of the world that the newcomers come from.

‘Libertoons Trio To The Giver’. Oh man, what a riot the internet’s favorite trio of cartoon anarcho-capitalists—Shane Killian, Mr. Dapperton and Listen to Reason—would be in a sterile, regimented, altogether collectivist society called The Community.
How Jonas and the Giver react to their presence, powers and preaching about the wonders of free markets and the NAP would be interesting indeed.
