Description
A shot showing off some of the Empire's hero list, all with new icons:
Gilad Pellaeon (Chimaera), Sate Pestage, Thrawn (Admonitor), General Veers, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine
Maarek Stele, Sarkli, Mara Jade, and Rom Mohc.
Not included: Natasi Daala (Gorgon), Admiral Gaarn (Annihilator), Luke Skywalker
Also note the "Imperial Center" title for Coruscant. Only appears in Imperial GCs :)
So Vader is still alive? After I saw that Luke had turned, I thought Vader was gone. And who is Sarkli?
Vader was brought back after Endor by Palpatine, much in the same way Palpatine brought back himself.
Sarkli is an ex-Rogue Squadron pilot who defected and became a Storm Commando officer.
I though the mod was if the rebels lost at endor? from that scenario vader would be dead, the emperor would NOT bring him back, and the emperor would be in his original body still.
No, not really. In this scenario, it's not just the Rebels losing at Endor, they lose as a result of Luke turning to the dark side, and being accepted WITH Vader, since the Emperor doesn't give jack for the rule of two. Thus the Emperor's battle meditation is not cut off (highlighted in Heir to the Empire, that the Imperial fleet relied on it) and the fleet is ordered to close and cut the Rebels apart, they shoot down the Falcon, and on land, Imperial forces regroup and launch a massive strike on the shield bunker, where Han and Leia make their last stand.
Ok that makes much more sense now. Thanks for the reply.
But while we're on the subject.... the emperor was looking for a replacement for Vader, not another apprentice, for a long time after his injuries. He even said so on many occasions, if wookieepedia is to be believed (I know I'm a nerd).
Wookipedia is right, I've read a few books where this is referred. The Emperor keeps Vader alive so as to help Luke develop through adversity. In a trimuvirate, things are much more complex, Luke has to keep track of this, and the Emperor knows since he (Luke) wants the throne, he will have to work twice as hard to get it. He has to watch his back if he strikes down one, as the other may already be readying his blade. Thus on the path to that, Luke is forced to develop twice more than he would if Vader was dead. Thus becoming a more powerful apprentice. But since the Emperor himself understands that HE himself is pulling all the strings, and that HE has nothing to fear, Luke becomes a better apprentice, his throne remains unchallenged (cloning plan) which is a hit-both-birds-with-one-stone scenario for Palpatine. And thats way worth taking the near non-existent chance of Vader becoming powerful enough to kill him OR Luke. See latest PvM News (Archive section) for further details. :)
I am not 100% sure about the expanded universe,but didn't the Emperor return in it as a clone?
Also glad that this mod does not continue Lucaases crusade to rip of Vader at every possible turn
Twice I believe, all in those retarded comics. They screw up canon so much, part of the reason we didn't follow it's path is all the ridiculous story ******** we would have to overcome in order for this to make sense in the canon world.
I completely understand. The time i desided that i will never read either comic or book is when i saw the review about a specific book. In short. Who ever takes Vader's right undestructible glove/this is the part when i lost all interest/will become the new Emperor....how could this have been allowed to be published anyway?
in realy canon, vader would own the galaxy :D
woooo thrawn!!!!
I know I'm going to sound like a Thrawn nerd, but could you use his full name, Mitth'raw'nuruodo, somewhere?
