Great video! Fun Fact: In the GameCube game “Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike” you can witness Sarkli’s defection. He is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes, who also voiced Cham Syndulla in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: The Bad Batch Sarkli also appears, but only as a voice, in “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II” [The Battle of Endor (DLC)]. Here he is voiced by Jaron Monroe, who also voiced the C2-N2 droid in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Long live the Empire.
Dude I love this video. I had no idea one of the Death Star Troopers in Episode 6 (Jad Bean) survived and joined the First Order and was in one of the sequel trilogy era as a Tie Pilot. That is so cool. Also loved that one of the background Captains (Sarkli) was a former Rebel who defected to the Empire. You usually don't see that in the Star Wars storytelling. It's really neat. Do more stuff like this but for background folks in New Hope and Empire. And heck even the other movies if the info is out there.
Excellent Holo Reel, I've always wanted to know who these officers were and their positions in the Imperial ranks, since the film first came out. So thank you for this.
@@ShannonCarter55 Makes more sense for The FO Pilot to be Sergeant Jad Bean's son, no way anyone in that control room had enough time to escape the Death Star, especially if you are going by the sequence of events presented in the deleted scene "Jerjerrod's conflict" where the order to fire on the moon comes mere seconds before the chain of events that eventually lead to the Second Death Star's final destruction.
@@hibernianperspective6183 too true, too true. Any explanation for how General Hurst Romodi escaped the first Death Star's destruction? He was standing in the shadows just as Tarkin ordered Bast to fire when ready but the comics show him alive for some reason.
I take it you are referring to the fact that a commander was a title mentioned by characters irrespective of their actual military rank? Only in the reorganized rank structure after the Battle of yavin was there an actual military rank of Commander and used by the imperial army line branch.
A lot of this lore was invented by the Star Wars Customizable Card Game because all these background guys got cards and a couple lines of backstory/lore on the card. Lucasfilm rubber stamped all of it. The 90s were awesome…this game, other games, comics, video games got to write tons of lore that became canon
@@ImperialsExplained Decipher (for Star Wars CCG) worked a ton in collaboration with West End Games who really laid that first foundation. It was amazing how all these licensees coordinated and remained coherent. I love how I still remember random Imperial officers and Rebel pilots and the games they were given and tiny bits of lore associated with them. Great stuff!
Great video!

An interesting video! I was curious about the leading officers aboard Death Star II.
Fantastic Video
Good stuff... much of this i didn’t know and provides great ideas for further reading. Good video.
3:01 somehow Bean survived.
Everyone: 😦
In Canon but not in Legends.
@@ImperialsExplainedimperial officers from rouge one i command it
@@ImperialsExplainedI consider the Jad "Scorch" Bean in TLJ was either Jad Bean's son or a relative with the same name.

i always felt bad when they died they only got like two seconds of screen time and the poor things are dead like they need a hug
Rise through the Imperial rank earn the glory of the Empire only to be hit in the face by a toolbox from a smuggler😂😂😂..
Why do a lot of these officers lack rank plaques and code cylinders?
Watch my video ranks plaques for Return of the Jedi to answer your question 👍 ua-cam.com/video/aVlf8tWgRO8/v-deo.htmlsi=3HxeUovhIPI8SuMU
Oh wow that answers my question perfectly. Thank you sir!
Long live tbe empire
Long live the empire?
Every commander a commander. Every colonel a commander. Every admiral a commander.
Every lieutenant a commander.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Agreed 👍 the West End Games material is so good to read through.

Those that serve the first order isn't canon of the Empire even if that is disney lore .
Tell that to Dave lol
What?
The way I see it (in legends anyway), they would have gone on to serve one of the splinter warlords or the dark empire.
It's so weird hearing german, english and even french sounding surnames in star wars.
George Lucas took ideas from everywhere 👍
