It's uniquely terrifying to see such a likable guy go smoothly, without a hitch, from Republic officer, literally the voice of the show, to ISB head in Andor/ANH. Same guy, same core values, just with... adjusted circumstances.
And it makes a lot of sense. High officers are loyal to the army and the state, no matter who and how rules it. The exact same thing often happenned in no-no Germany and Russia after soviet revolution.
@@winkylad498i wouldn't say "loyal to the tzar" , more like "opposed to communism". When Nicolas th 2nd was deposed in February of 1917, very few high-ranking officers actually tried to support him, with most sending him messages that basically said "yeah you better do as you're told"
Yeah… having seen it all together now it makes sense, especially if you read the Thrawn novel. He talks about the worst horrors he witnessed during the Clone Wars, so I get why he came to believe in order and security at all costs for the greater good. He’s nothing like Tarkin who’s out for personal glory and power. Yularen is another good person with good intentions that were twisted by the Empire…
Yularen when order 66 happened - " at least I don't have to worry about the crazy Jedi tactics anymore, or deal with another Skywalker." First time seeing Lord Vader walk in " I've got a bad feeling about this. "
Yularen always reminded me of like the British commander character that every WW2 movie from the 60s had. He’s a great addition to the series and really helped give the Clone Wars more believability.
And not to mention he was also the literal freakin' NARRATOR throughout the entire show + the start of Bad Batch. An unstoppable, absolute badass madlad. Carried the entire damn GALAXY on his shoulders, LITERALLY lol. Amazing how ol' boy lived for so long with all that over the top bellowing he'd always do. "SHIT IS HAPPENING IN THE GALAXY! WILL DOOKU'S EXCEL SPREADSHEETS PREVAIL THIS TIME?" RIP Tom Kane's beautiful and illustrious career and vocal chords and all the best to him and his family and beyond!!
He may believed in the Empire despite its atrocities and being a good guy during Clone Wars, but in his last moments I think he was broken, because no matter how stern and logical he was before, no one in their right mind would find a tolerable justification for blowing up Alderaan.
If Yuleran lived pass Yavin he would of defected to the Rebellion and would meet Luke Skywalker and tell him that his father was his General and Rex and Yuleran would reunite with Rex telling him "you joined the winning team admiral" still seeing him as a Admiral Kallus and Yuleran would meet again with Yuleran telling Kallus he was right about the Rebels meanwhile Palpatine was upset his most brilliant officer is working with The Rebels
"Are all Jedi so reckless?" "Of all the Jedi, why did I have to end up with SKYWALKER?!?!" "So...the mission was your usual version of success then? If by "success" you mean I won, then yes!" "Hrhmhmmmmm. 😑😑" God I love and miss Yularen so much in TCW. Him and Anakin always had one of the best, sleeper duos in the entire show. I always enjoyed that fun lil' dynamic between them hahaha. 😂😂🙏💚
Versus how Thrawn and Yularen interacted to discover spies and rebel activities in ST:Rs. Yularen, over time, likely preferred Thrawn's overall tactical mind & sherlock Holmes style of analyzing things over Skywalker/Vader's rash & aggressive maneuvers. Yularen, Vanto, and Faro's interactions with the Admiral are very fantasizing to watch
I feel it might be due to more episodes with the main Jedi (and clones) our of the venators and in missions with less contact with the capital ship, also a broader focus on other characters as the scope of the show expanded.
I love the dynamic with Anakin as the reckless yet somehow sometimes successful teenager and Yularen as the level-headed adult who's tired of this shit. That "usual version of success" exchange was so funny, and I love how it continued into the next episode when 5 minutes later crap starts happening again and Yularen's like "What could possibly have happened since I last spoke with you?" 🤦♂😆 7:46 I love how he smiles in the background when Anakin says "Don't worry Ahsoka," like he too is giving her some encouragement, and then goes right back into stern military stare mode
Always did like the fact that Tom Kane the voice of yularen also voice warden/mayor sharp in Arkham asylum and city. I was like hey it is admiral yularen in Batman
Turning to the Dark Side, just like his Jedi General. And both saw their end on a Death Star. And Anakin must've met him many times on the Death Star. I wonder if any sentimental feelings of camaraderie for the old days remained for his old comrade.
I had been interested in Yularen since he’d first been named in a playing card. I love how much backstory we got for him… I just wish Clone Wars and Rebels had developed more of these guys on the Death Star. I imagine Motti working with the Jedi would have been insufferable. 😅

I do not consider Yularian a traitor, since he was an officer loyal to the republic, and since the republic officially became an empire, all officers had to swear allegiance to the empire, including Yularian, especially since we do not know how he reacted to order 66, and since the Jedi were traitors to the galaxy and Paul Patin framed them, for the military and civilians, they were traitors, but it seems to me that Yularean could be upset by all this, given how he got along with such Jedi as Obi Wan, Anaken, Mace Windu, who more than once showed good military experience, which cannot be said about Kiadi Mundi and his arrogance, then in Yularian's place I would be I feel sorry for anyone, but not this Mundi. And especially since he himself left the rank of admiral and went to work where it was necessary to fight the main infection of the galaxy that caused the fall of the republic, I'm talking about the fight against corruption!
17:15 - 18:06 Maybe I'm just blind, but it seems like you confused Tarkin and Yularen for all of these. And maybe the two clips before these few as well.

Maybe this is a hot take but I really disliked how Andor portrayed him. I think that his transition to the empire changed his core values much more than they should have, considering the type of admiral he was in the clone wars series. It seems like two different characters with two different personalities to me. I think they tried to portray like a stolkholm syndrome type of thing in him but they just went too overboard and completely changed his personality to the point where he was unrecognizable, with it considering the person he was in the clone wars. I think his character would have made more sense in andor if it wasn't Yularen but instead some psyco admiral that went up the ranks because thats how much he changed. It doesn't make sense. As is the case with a lot of the live actions that have been coming out recently trying to re-write core aspects of the star wars canon, I can't say I'm a huge fan in general or have ever been (since the days of "somehow, palpatine returned")... but I digress lol.
the most terrible people can seem personable, likeable even, whilst committing appalling acts. at the end of the day many military officers (especially in capitalist societies) have historically repeatedly been shown to be sympathetic to fascism when faced with it. yularen was one such man
