I know that Terranova is now banned, see this post for more information: https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...-the-kaiserreich.475922/page-45#post-24238351, but let's try and keep it up float.

Picture taken during the production of Continuation of Hate (1976), a movie about the life of Frank Blades, the stepson of Jefferson Pinkard.

This scene is of Blades being on trial for the assassinations of Hubert Humphrey (https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...federacy-tl-191.185493/page-302#post-24055617) and Cassius Madison (https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...federacy-tl-191.185493/page-303#post-24055642).
On the left is the actor for Blades' wife: Martha Blades (who claimed her husband's innocence because she couldn't believe he would do anything like his assassinations). The center is the actor for his lawyer. And on the right is the actor for Frank Blades himself.

Remember when you know there’s a bad guy when they always wearing a Stahlhelm or similar helmet for visually view as evil. The German helmets are viewed at least most generally as a symbol for a Totalitarian Evil regime who conquer all and oppressed all during the Second World War in Europe and now use in Pop Culture as visual symbols for evil villains and their army.

Now obviously in TL191, that doesn’t happen because of Germany and US used the Stahlhelm during the Great Wars and now views similar to M1 & Brodie Helmet for defeating Radius of Evil like the Confederacy and Britain in the SGW. Now I had a question for ya, would M1 Helmet would be the symbol of evil in fiction and the Stahlhelm being a symbol of good vice versa?

On a related note, I made a post about the M1/Sydenham Helmet being used Post-War on the photos thread.

Can you link for the post please because I love your TL191 content? and also you misspelled Stahlhelm to “Sydenham” Helmet.

But what your thought of the Good Guy wearing Stahlhelm and the Bad Guy wearing Brodie Helmet posted?

So how would Expanded Universe characters be in TL-191?

So with the Empire and Rebels switched in TL-191 Star Wars, here's something fun I had.

Scene of the Destruction of Alderaan in the movie Star Wars (1977), later renamed Episode IV: A New Hope.

Alderaan was destroyed due to the planet being loyal to the Empire, a loose analog for the US, despite being under Rebel, otherwise called the restored Republic, rule, a loose analog for Featherston's CSA, for decades. It would ultimately turn the tide of the war against the Rebels, as it would cause many systems to join the Empire.

Yuuzhan Vong

The Yuuzhan Vong—"Children of Yun-Yuuzhan", also called the Chosen Race, known to the Chiss and Ferroans as the Far Outsiders, and sometimes incorrectly abbreviated to Vong (which implied that one was disowned by their family and their gods)—were a nomadic extra-galactic sentient species that...

Some other stuff I made for TL-191 Star Wars

Artist drawing of the aftermath of the Fall of Coruscant in Star Wars: Dawn of a New Era series (1999-2003) [1], later adapted to what fans called the Darkness Trilogy [2].

Dawn of a New Era is a nineteen-book series that takes place twenty-one years after the Original Star Wars saga and was written during the Prequel Trilogy. The series depicts the galaxy being invaded by a species called the Yuuzhan Vong, a loose analog of extreme branches of the Mormon religion and based on Meso-Americans [3]. What resulted was the Galactic Empire being destroyed during the war (as shown in the image above), but it was reorganized as the Galactic Coalition [4] and worked together with the Republican Remnant [5] to defeat the Vong.
The series was made into a trilogy, Approaching Darkness (2008), Consuming Darkness (2011), and Defeating Darkness (2014). Although criticized for not fully adapting the events of the books, the trilogy was a critical darling amongst fans and critics.

References
1. TL-191 version of the New Jedi Order book series
2. TL-191 version of the Sequel Trilogy (not sure if the thread had a consensus about if Disney exists in TL-191; no, I am not bitter over Legends being retconned; shut up)
3. In OTL, the Yuuzhan Vong was based on Meso-Americans. Their empire was a theocratic state, so I figured them being based on extreme Mormons would be fitting for TL-191.
4. TL-191 version of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances (the Rebels and Empire switched roles in TL-191)
5. TL-191 version of the Imperial Remnant

Pellaeon was the aide of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the leader of the Republican Remnant by the end of the Galactic Turbulence [2] and was its leader until his death during the Second Galactic Turbulence [3] in the Bitter Legacy book series [4].

Poster for the Cancelled Star Wars film trilogy adaptation for Bitter Legacy.

In 2015, Lucasfilm announced plans to turn various Star Wars novels into movies for their cinematic universe. The first in this wave was an adaptation of the Bitter Legacy book series, a series of nine books about the galaxy falling into another brutal Turbulence. The movies were Predule to War (2017), Galaxy at War (2020), and War's End (2023).
It was scheduled for release in 2017, as the novels were set forty years after the Original saga. However, with the death of actress Carrie Fisher during development in December 2016 [1], these plans were scrapped.
In 2021, however, this scrapped trilogy was reworked into an animated tv series and was released in 2022 and is still ongoing as of writing.
