Speaking of, where did the Rebel Alliance go?Īfter Jakku, the Rebels formalize the New Republic and start the process of beating back the last Imperial remnants across the galaxy. We also know one of those ships was called the Inflictor, and was deliberately crashed into the surface of the planet Jakku by its young captain after it was invaded by a boarding party, led by her Rebel lover. It's one of those Star Destroyers that we've seen Rey poking around in for parts in The Force Awakens' trailers and TV spots.
If you'd like to change that outcome, you can play Star Wars Battlefront and win the day for the Empire, but the canonical fight ends with hundreds of ships, including iconic wedge-shaped Star Destroyers, smashing into the planet's surface. The unassuming desert planet becomes the real last stand for the united Empire, one last do-or-die battle that ends in an overwhelming victory for the Rebels. The talks don't go so well, though, and Alliance ships arrive at Akiva, pushing the Empire back yet again to the planet of Jakku. Some suggest a military stand, while Yupe Tashu, one of the Emperor's advisors and a Sith cultist, suggests that the fleet goes on a hunt for a font of dark side energy that'll propel them back to power. The largest contingent of Imperial forces coalesces around the minor planet of Akiva, where high-ranking members form the Imperial Future Council and discuss how what's left of the Empire can strike back against the Rebel forces currently picking them apart. Some Imperial commanders are able to lock down their far-flung corners of the galaxy, restricting access in and out in a bid to cut their losses and maintain control, while others try and fail to elevate new Emperors to positions of power. As specified in Chuck Wendig's first Aftermath novel, moments after the statue of the Emperor is cut down on the central planet of Coruscant, Imperial forces start a brutal crackdown, clearing city streets of anti-Empire protesters with lethal force.
So what happened after Return of the Jedi?Įpisode VI's triumphant closing note suggests the immediate downfall of the Empire, but it's not all fireworks and Ewok celebrations.
