If he had opted to do a little impromptu target practice instead, the droids would never have met Luke, who would thus never have met Ben, no-one rescues Princess Leia, the Death Star plans never make it to the Rebel Alliance...

* From ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'', we have Garrett Jacob Hobbes, the serial killer known as the Minnesota Shrike. He appears as the primary antagonist of the first episode, and his crime spree is stopped by the end of the episode when he is shot to death by protagonist Will Graham. However, the guilt Will feels over killing Hobbes, combined with the guilt Hobbes' daughter Abigail feels for having an indirect hand in her father's murders, contributes a great deal to both Will and Abigail's storylines in Season One.
