Why does the Rebellion still exist in the Dark Side ending of The Force Unleashed?

In the final act of the first The Force Unleashed, by choosing the Light Side, Galen Marek holds off the Emperor to allow the rebel leaders to escape. This is followed by a scene where the same leaders meet to found the Rebellion. But in the Dark Side ending, Galen is thrown aside by the Emperor, who proceeds to kill the rebel leaders. He then turns Galen into his new apprentice.

In the Ultimate Sith Edition DLC, which expands upon the Dark Side ending, we see that the Rebellion was still formed and all the major events still played out the same way as in canon. The Death Star is still destroyed after its project is stolen and Luke Skywalker still becomes a Jedi. But does that make any sense?

Supposedly it was Galen's decision to stay on the Light Side that allowed to Rebellion to exist, so why does it still exist in the continuity where he let the rebel leaders be killed instead? What's the explanation? How is the Rebellion still so strong?

I'm Malcolm Sinclair aka Colonel Wullf Yularen from Andor. AMA!

Hello, Star Wars fans!

I’m Malcolm Sinclair, and I’m excited to be here for an Ask Me Anything! You may know me as Colonel Wullf Yularen from Andor, where I had the honour of bringing this iconic Imperial officer to life, exploring his chilling efficiency and role in the Empire’s iron grip on the galaxy

Outside the Star Wars universe, I’ve had the privilege of working on films like Casino Royale and V for Vendetta and performing in acclaimed stage productions like Pressure (Olivier nomination) and Dear Octopus. Most recently, I’ve wrapped filming on Nicholas Hytner’s The Choral.

I’m here to answer all your questions about Andor, my Star Wars experience, and my broader career. Let’s dive in—may the Force be with you!

Brazilian adaptation is funny

In Brazil, many names had to be adapted because they had double meanings, for example:

-count dooku (to Brazilians it sounds like "Count from #ss") so they changed his name to count dookan

  • captain panaka (in Brazilian it is literally captain idiot) changed to captain panás

and best of all master syfo-dyas (which in Portuguese is like "master f#cks himself" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣) and they changed it to master zaifo-vias

There are many others, names of planets, etc., but I decided to show this funny case of adaptation here in Brazil

What is “I will finish what you started” supposed to mean?

What did vader start that needed to be finished? Is Kylo talking about the empire and basically ruling the galaxy or is it something else?

Star Wars Movies

Has anyone read the Darth Bane series? I wish there was a trilogy movie that was based on the books. Do you think it would be better than any of the recent movies that have been out?

What about a movie based on the “Death Troopers” book?

Why don’t Vader and Tarkin utilize Death Troopers?

Death Troopers are undeniably one of the coolest additions to New Canon. In lore books and on the Starwars.com’s databank they are described as elite bodyguards for the highest imperial officials, and sometimes also do commando ops. Fine so far, but…if they’re primarily guards for the imperial elite, it seems a little strange that they never seem to guard Vader or Tarkin, no? You could argue that Vader doesn’t need guards, but he’s always dragging around the 501st so that seems a little suspect. Tarkin on the other hand is the ideal candidate for a death trooper detail, yet always seems to settle for an ordinary stormtrooper escort. I have a theory, but tell me what you think.

My theory is that Death Troopers fall under the umbrella of Imperial Intelligence. This makes sense given their black ops directive. They are seen guarding Director Krennic (a high ranking member of Imp Int), Supervisor Meero (an agent of the ISB), and Grand Admiral Thrawn (one of the highest ranking officers in the entire empire, with connections to Imp Int himself and the authority to pull from their ranks if necessary). Finally, we see them utilized by Moff Gideon, but that’s after the fall of the empire so all bets are off as far as organizational structure goes. Neither Tarkin nor Vader have direct supervision of Imp Int, and while they could secure a squad of Death Troopers if they really wanted it would involve pulling strings and dealing with bureaucratic red tape (as well as rival bureaucrats) which wouldn’t necessarily be efficient when a squad of regular troops do just as well for most situations.

How should Palpatine have convincingly perished in Episode 9?

One of the biggest questions I notice from people reflecting on the movie is “How do we know Palpatine is truly dead?”

The chosen one, fulfills the prophecy by destroying the Sith.

If any character is entitled to the kill, it’s probably somebody who’s been in every movie, like Anakin (who for the longest time was in every Star Wars movie)

I don’t want to shift the subject to “He shouldn’t have been brought back!”

We’re talking as if Palpatine has been introduced, and now he must be believably killed, within the universe forever.

Was Rey, the appropriate character to do this?

Furthermore was Luke the appropriate character to do this?

The Ghost of Anakin?

Leia?

I’m running out of options, the only thing I can seemingly think of, that would convince the audience with absolute certainty is if Palpatine let go of the dark side and his pursuit to live forever.

Not in a way of a redemption, but in a way of closure, perhaps he was so moved by his granddaughter, a familial love he never received, to the point where he accepted himself as a broken record and let go of everything, as a tragic figure.

I feel like this would’ve been the only way to assure the viewer that Darth Sidious would never return from the dead, and considering how one dimensional he’s been with dark side this, black robes and hood that, “Kill me now/don’t let him kill me.” Looking old and disfigured,

It’s not like he’s gonna come back as a light side Force Ghost,

But what would convince you, in the final act, that this character would never make a return?

“A group of Force Ghost Jedi attack.”

Why didn’t they do that in ROTJ?

Fan made chronological guide

This is a fan created viewing order for star wars the clone wars. Everyone harps about the chronological order but watching individual arcs as mini series really hits the nail on the head for me more so than the chronological order that splits arcs sometimes.

This is also for u/DASREDDITBOI specifically

Is it just me or do I want a movie/series centered around stormtroopers

Idk I I’m the one of the only one who likes stormtroopers but I really want to see them do justice in the Star Wars universe thanks to the not so great depictions in disneys run of Star Wars I want to see them actually be the competent soldiers that they are similar to the buckethead fan films do you think we’ll ever get one?

I take back everything I said about rebels

I used to hate this show growing up but it was mainly because they canceled The clone wars and replaced it with this show but it really isn’t that bad I hated season one a lot but now even on rewatch I enjoy it a lot especially zeb and Ezra’s arc about learning to work together there are two things I still don’t like even now like lightsaber helicopters and Ezras blaster lightsaber other than that I think it’s a really solid show.

What "what ifs" would you like to see and do you all like my ideas?

Hey, so I think most of us like to leach on Youtube what-if content for Star Wars since Disney hates fun and hates our happiness in general, so I would like to hear some ideas, some crazy ones, not just the what-if Qui Gon survived, or what if the Jedi weren't dicks to Anakin since he was a kid, for reference here some of my:

* What if Anakin reincarnated back as a kid - so this one, I have seen people do similar stuff but they always get it wrong, like, making him a kid to be raised with Luke or something, no I want to see what if after killing Sidious and dying, what if Anakin's memories and personality were send back to his child self;

* What if Anakin learned The Waterfowl dance - so this one is almost like a cross-over, I just think it would be funny to see Anakin swinging his saber into droids like he was Malenia, also that shit allows the person to float for a few seconds, so maybe Anakin vs Obi-Wan ends up weirdly;

* What if Anakin was seduced and corrupted by the Chaos Gods of Warhammer - Yes, another cross-over, so for those that don't know Warhammer, they have 4 demons known as Chaos Gods, they seduced and corrupted the Emperor of Humanity's children*, and I can see different moments when they could have met, like for example: at the Tusken massacre, at the temple's invasion, back when he was a slave yearning for freedom, etc...

* What if Padme was reincarnated back to when she first met Anakin - this one is basically the same as the first one but instead of Anakin going back to being a kid, its Padme going back

* What if Anakin found a passage way into the Sith temple beneath the Jedi Temple - I imagine almost everyone knows it by this point but beneath the Jedi temple there was a Sith temple in slumber for millennia, and while the temple is unactivated, it could have secrets of the sith the Jedi didn't bother to collect since they thought it was better to leave it be.

These are a few ideas I have been wanting to see, what do you all think? What is the story you would like to see?

Fun fact: upon watching clone wars there are many obvious but also subtle hints to anakins power growing on ver the series.

One of my favorite ones that I’ve noticed is everytime anakin is shocked with either force electricity or just regular. In the beginning you can see it take him down with ease but as the series goes on he resists it more and more. A good example of this is in Season 4 episode 12 “Slaves of the republic” of the clone wars. You can see two electric whips take down Kenobi pretty easily but it takes 5 slavers whips to take down Anakin and even that they were struggling in doing for 15-20 seconds. By the end of the series in season 7 episode 4 “Unfinished business” Anakin has Admiral Trench cornered and while talking with Windu and Kenobi Trench attempts to shock or electrocute Anakin. In which Anakin barely even flinches and just Stabs Trench. You can even see the horror on Trenches face as he realizes his mistake. He expected him to either die or at least fall to the ground stunned. But Anakin just shrugged it off and finished off trench. Obviously he’s still to weak to take on Palpatine so when it came time to help Windu even if he choose to 1v1 Palpatine after Windu was thrown out the window Anakin likely would’ve lost. But you know what he’s not losing?His power fast forward to when Vader Kills Palpatine. Vader (as everyone knows) picks up Palpatine and while Palpatine is shocking the literal hell out of Vader Vader just throws him off the edge. By this point Anakin/Vader is mostly cyborg his suit was literally created to be weakened against Palpatine if he ever got out of hand. But his sheer will and power he basically overrides the Debuffs as some might say and kills Palpatine basically giving him the ultimate middle finger. I always wondered why they had all the characters get shocked in clone wars. I chalked it up to plot I guess but it was odd to me that no one else changed every other Jedi who had gotten shocked always had the same reaction. But with Anakin he seemed to always resist it more and more until the very end. I like to think that the developers of clone wars intentionally added this (and many other things) as a nod to why Vader was able to kill Palpatine even if it cost him his own life. One more point before I go Anakin seems to only power through the intense electricity in desperate situations normally in a fight where it just him it might actually get him and stun him. For example back to my previous reference with the Slavers. In my honest opinion Anakin did not do it for Ashoka and Kenobi although I do believe it played a part in it. I truly believe it was his hatred for slavers. As we all know he absolutely hates slavers because he was a former slave. He could barely the thought of being stricken down by them again giving them that power. Even the Queen herself comments and says “such determination” before Anakin finally falls (a guy can only take so much electricity at once ya know!) but he struggled with it very clearly. but when we look back at my second point with Trench Anakin doesn’t struggle at all infact to him it was so mild he didn’t have to power through it because it was nothing to him. At the end of his life it was the fact that his son’s life was at stake again we can see Vader clearly struggling and eventually dying after the fact. I’ll wrap things up here I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter am I wrong? Am I right? Regardless I love this series with its intentional nods to the future of a character. Like near the end of Episode 18 of season 4 “Crisis on Naboo” Anakin almost kills Dooku through a chair and Palpatine being held by a MagnaGuard smiles because he sees Anakin is becoming more powerful. So much so that Anakin can and soon will be able to take on Dooku in the future and kill him eventually replacing him.

War.

This is going to be random but I'm just curious what everyone thinks. In a three way war between the jedi at the peak of their power vs the sith at the peak of their power vs the yuuzhan vong who do you think would come out on top? No death stars and I'd even say I'd allow the jedi and sith to have all of their members this might make the yuuzhan vong useless but I'm still curious. Sorry if this is kinda lame or stupid I just have wanted to know what others think for a long time.

The fact that we still haven't gotten a spacewalk scene in a Star Wars movie is weird

One of the simplest yet coolest things about outer space in our own world is astronauts who freely float in the vastness while wearing their suits. And I remember when I was just getting into Star Wars for the first time I had the assumption that there were sequences in the movies where characters did something similar for combatic purposes, exploration, or just general spacecraft repair. But 11 movies in and we still haven't gotten that. I feel it could make for some exciting stuff. For example, as a kid I pictured armies of astronaut soldiers having blaster fights all while flying around the starry emptiness. Could be super awesome. Just an idea if they shall make future movies.

I'm not up to date with the shows so let me know if those have finally done something similar.
