Yeah, while I like the idea of the defection, it definitely seemed to happen too fast and too suddenly.
Agreed, having read the book before playing the campaign, I suspected this was how it would turn out, but it was just too quick. For most of the campaign she is a rebel not an imperial.
I feel like they got away too fast. Like they didn't do anything about them runing away
Dreadnought AI We already have more than enough defectors.I just want something from the average imperial's point of view,without having them going "goodie,goodie" and defecting.
Melese Getahun - that reminds me of another issue I have, marketing. They very purposely made the trailers and such look like it was going to be a, as you said imperial perspective campaign, I may be rebel scum, but that was disappointing.
Of course the marketing department are to blame for that one, not the people to design the game.
Dreadnought AI Yeah,stuff like that constantly happens
Ironic, Iden Versio dies as Starkiller Base explodes into an Inferno.
MasterVideoStudios 🤯, I feel stupid that I never made that connection. Very deep connection, good job figuring that out👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌🏼
That’s why the last mission is called inferno
Wait i thought she died after killing hask?
@@rafputin4659 she does shortly after
Well if my Team would Blow Up my home Planet i would be pissed too

The Complete Story of Shriv, make it happen.
Literally just Battlefront 2
I wish and hope there will be enough for me to make that video someday. We know Shriv and Lando went on adventures together before. I'd like to see that. Give me a Shriv season of Battlefront II!
Indeed
Cameron Leach YES!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Shriv is added as a hero in the game.
I really liked this character. I hope they used the actress for other things. I'm not sure if i have ever seen someone who was more excited to be someone in the Star Wars universe
homerunproduction The actress name is Janina Gavankar.
Janina actually had a cameo in TLJ, but not as her character
Kess Genre Really? What scene was she in?
I was in TLJ?
she will join Marvel game
Honestly, Iden Versio sounds like a pretty interesting character, and it would've been a hell of a lot more layered and developed if the campaign focused more on her years in the Empire. Her defection to the Rebellion in the game just seemed forced and rushed.
“Traitor!”
StrayQrow Art I see what you did there
That line it belongs to me
Supreme Leader Kylo Ren this is where the fun begins
Emanuel Gonzalez Hello there
Supreme Leader Kylo Ren “you fool”
If Seyn Marana hadn’t died on Jeosyn during the book, do you think she would’ve defected with Iden and Del in the game or stayed loyal with Gideon?
most likely she would also defect she has strong emotions, I don't think she had a bad history toward the rebellion like Hasks. She didn't want revenge like he does
2 stay 2 defect. That's how I would see it.
TheBurgerHut7 we meet again burger
I don't know how her "relationship" with this one guy would have influenced her if she had survived. But I don't see her as a fanatic like Hask was so defection would be more likely.
Almost certainly. In the book, she blew her cover because she got too attached to one of the Dreamers. If she had not blown her cover and stayed with Inferno, she probably would have defected with Iden and Del.
Personally I love the battlefront ll campaign idk why people didn’t like it
People complain about everything
@@anonymousgaslighter345bc people are useless mouth breathers, and don't have a life
such a wasted character. nice book. please Disney, execute order 66 on EA and save Bioware to make Star Wars Games great again (no pun intended xd)
the recent starwars game is great just make Ea microtransaction game changing crap end. They live in the past 5 yrs today they're relic.
you Sir, make my heart stop, would be great. I own the whole "Legends" stuff which will stay canon for me until Disneys reaches 35 years, than we will see whats better.
Making an exclusive deal with EA was probably the biggest mistake they have made _sigh_
Mutants and Inhumans Fanboy no it wouldn't. The EA deal would have still gone through, so battlefront 3 would have just been battlefront 2015
Lockjaw
Imagine if there was less of you, we could enjoy SW more.
I liked the campaign, but it feels like a missed opportunity to not have Iden and Del join Grand Admiral Sloan or other anti-operation cinder Imperials.
the whole imperial warlord era from legends is the definition of missed opportunity
Wasted character. She had so much potential. We were so close to greatness but the battlefront 2 campaign ruined her character and had a cliche ironic ending.
Ciaga wey yeah. I think the big reason is because the campaign is too short and the plot was just really bad. The switch to the rebellion isn’t good because we have don’t see the horrible things she’s done to so many people. The romance between Del and Iden literally came out of nowhere.
I think she's a great character in a bad campaign. I wouldn't say she was wasted but I would've preferred to see her in a different time period. If they wanted to make her turn to the rebels, that's fine but then make the game during the battle of Yavin or around there.
Ciaga wey I’m glad she’s dead
@@rob.s0000 Ikr they should’ve stayed friends when del and iden kissed i was like Bruh, Really??
Everything was great until the BF2 campaign happened. I dislike Operation Cinder a lot, so I don't blame Iden for disobeying it. But the defection was just wrong, went against all advertisement and her own character as shown in the Inferno Squad novel. Clearly the new canon is not 'gray' enough to depict Imperials that disagree with Operation Cinder band together to stop it. You're either a fanatic or defect to the Rebellion.
Agreed, I think we should definitely see some infighting in the Empire, and perhaps even groups breaking away forming new factions, that could be cool.
If memory serves, Rae Sloane did just that: she disagreed with the operation and wanted to kill Gallius Rax to regain control over the Imperial Remnant and restore the Empire's "dignity" (her motivations are more complex than that, but I don't really have the books by my side right now).
It's ok to serve the empire but after palpatine's death the first order really became evil space Nazis. It's understandable that iden defected but it should have been a gradual process with some heavy traumatic experience for her that makes her change her mind.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that, altough I'd like to see more of it, especially between ROTS and ANH, when the Empire was formed.
Rilhon For the most part, that sounds like Legends. Various Imperial warlords establishing their own personal kingdoms, splitting the Empire into pieces, and various leaders vying for power at the top of the "official" Empire. The canon also says that these things happened, but somehow all of it is forced into a single year from Endor to Jakku. Everything in an attempt to be different and set things up for the First Order.
Honestly I'm pissed at Iden defecting. Not only was the defection sudden, It just made me mad that they would have such a predictable outcome that happened on like the 4th mission. I was really excited to get a story that showed the other side of things, as well as getting to blast some rebel scum, but instead I got a lazy, short, and underdeveloped campaign.
The controversy of Iden’s defection isn’t about it being out of left field. It’s about being a generic storyline that we’ve seen a billion times before.
T C Also because of false advertisement before the game came out.
Can someone explain this to me? I enjoyed the story Tbh
I've literally only seen it twice but whatever (in star wars)
Battlefront 2's campaign was pretty forgettable. Why we needed characters like Luke, Leia, Han and Lando to show up, I don't know. Iden was pretty meh in game too, and the trailers portrayed it as us being pro imperial and helping build the First Order. This campaign just wasn't great.
I honestly would've had more fun if the whole campaign was just her staying imperial than the classic I'm working for the wrong side and I just realized it story. The campaign would've been good if they added some what if scenarios. Like what if you stopped Luke from destroying the death star etc.
DeltaWolf1000 'Why we needed characters like Luke,Leia,Han and Lando I don't know.'
For fanservice of course.
Sometimes I hate fan service
DeltaWolf1000 Yeah but sometimes it can be good like the Vader scene in R1
That's how you do Fanservice. Not add in these characters simply because they are those characters...
0:31 - Where is this from? Don't tell me there was a Star Wars Battlefron 2 Manga or something.
On the bright side, when Iden Versio passed away, she knew she would be able to see Del again. Also, it would also be very interesting for Iden to also say when the attempted destruction of her homeworld was going to happen without her knowledge and with civilians getting involved, "We've been double-crossed!"
I kind of feel bad for Janina. She had such a cool character, but then the writers completely destroyed all her coolness with turncoating and fanservicing.
Well I understand why Iden left the Empire. Vardos was the planet that she was from and when the Empire used Operation Cynder on it, she became emotionally shocked over that which made her realize what the Empire has become. I know that some people don't understand why she left the Empire but I hope it gives you guys something to think about. What would you do if something like this happened in your life?
She definitely had limits about the Empire. In the book she couldn’t justify why the Empire killed millions of innocents in Alderaan. She had no issues with Yavin IV - only the Rebels would had died.
She was an imperial with a heart. The Empire is the government: it’s there to protect you as a citizen.
I know this isn't related to the video, but Alex, to support your argument for your previous video, the portrayal of Luke in TLJ was similar to what George Lucas wanted.
Captain Clovian Source? Not being argumentative, just genuinely curious
You’re both wrong. Lucas’ notes on 7-9 were completely unlike anything in the sequel trilogy or the Thrawn trilogy. We have never seen Lucas’ vision for the sequel trilogy, they only exist in his imagination. The Thrawn trilogy is Timothy Zahn’s vision for 7-9, the sequel trilogy is JJ Abrams’ and Rian Johnson’s. Neither resemble what Lucas personally envisioned for the trilogy, and we will likely never see his version. Let’s all just stop arguing what the “real” sequel trilogy is.
Not really. Disney threw out most of his ideas to go in their own direction. A couple things were carried over, such as having a female protagonist, but most of it was all new.
Is there another source on that information aside from the video? I’ve heard contradicting things regarding how much Lucas influenced the new trilogy.
Mutants boy
So you believe that someone from Disney was blackmailing him and holding a white sheet with dialog on it behind the camera.You must be desperate to make excuses.
Luke was done justice. Luke turning Del was perfection. This was the Luke that JJ and Roundhead should have given the fans.
OT in a nutshell:
Schizophrenic teen who starts understanding robots, seeing ghosts and hears a talking frog urging him to kill his dad.
Do you think her daughter might come back in episode 9?
Elemental Jedi Probably.
As a free DLC character nope.
I want Shriv to appear and I want the same voice actor to play him.
I don't think so, but I hope it. And Shriv, of course.
i like to think she was piloting one of the bombers in the beginning on last jedi
I may have geeked out a bit when Iden and Leia went to Naboo. So cool to see X-Wings and Naboo Starfighters together
I still think the campaign was a huge miss opportunity
yup
Del Meeko was by far my favorite of the four. Loved the story in BF2 and the book inferno squad.
For the defection case, I understand that it looked logical after reading the book, but most of the players didn't red it, and I think that's becoming the larger problem of the DisneyEU, you must read, play and see anything that comes out to fully understand it. And also having to play the majority of the campaign as rebels when EA advertised a fully imperial story, it can be a frustrating.
Hey, one question I’ve had could idens droid not have healed her?
Now that I think about it, the Droid could've healed her.
Her defection was all so sudden.
Just wish we got to see more of her from the empire. Maybe there might be some missions before the campaign started and where the book finished
This video illustrates one of the very few problems I have with the new Canon: there are cases where you need to intake supplementary material to get the entire story across. Like the stories of Holdo and the Tico sisters in _The Last Jedi,_ or the story told in this video.
The known biology of the porgs!
Basically little birds without beaks.
LegoTurtle Brickfilms ah yes, but what about their ecosystem and their place in Acth-To's food chain? These are important questions
Cillian Brouder they ate each other and then spit each other out
Do Grand Admiral Thrawn's Legends life.
Oh really? I doubt that very much considering all the videos he put out of Legends on his channel over the years...
He probably will, but since Rebels ends this year and he's on it we don't know the end yet.
Mutants and Inhumans Fanboy Maybe because no new Legends stuff is coming out while Canon is updated all the time? Did he ever say he hates Legends or are you just assuming that he does based on what he uploads?
Mutant boy
Amazing, everything you just said was wrong.
Mutants and Inhumans Fanboy The Old Republic is the only Legends content still being produced. Compare this to Canon, which has comics, books, games and of course movies coming out all the time. Don't get me wrong here, I like Legends and I would really like to see him do more videos of it, but I wouldn't come to the conclusion that Alex hates it just because he doesn't do videos on it much at all.
well destroying an absolute loyal system for nothing and killing civilians for nothing didn't sit right with her.
So is it possible that Iden and Gideon were schoolmates of Thane and Ciena?
Anyway Star Wars story is finished for history And May the Force be with you so now Have a Nice Day
The story is nice. I would just make one correction if it were up to me.
I would've let Iden and co. participate on the Operation Cinder on Naboo. Gideon would do it gladly but Iden and Del would do it reluctantly but they would reassure themselves that Naboo was a treacherous world. However once the Operation Cinder came to Vardos it would be too much on Iden and Del and they would defect.
I would love to see a video explaining the different lightsabers who owns them how they were made and maybe some comparisons like Darth Vader’s vs Anakin’s for example.
Could you do a video on "Everything We Know About the Fourth Inferno Squad Member" that was killed during the Dreamers excursion?
Iden is beautiful and attractive. And a she stood for what is good.
the first trailer made it seem like iden was going to be more like hask. and i hate how she is fine with killing imperials to save less imperials.
She fights the Imperials because they’re literally committing genocide against her people. That’s not “saving less people”.
JurzGarz she isn't saving the people they have stopped from escaping, just 10 people. she saves 10 and kills 100. and the stormtroopers do what they were ordered, her dad is the one killing the people. and she is killing the people who were fighting for the same side as her and not regretting it. del at least says that he hates shooting his own troopers, iden is completely fine with it.
I place my loyalty to The Emperor
Whyb she is so attractive? 😗😗😙😙😚😚😍😍😘😄
you should cover captain rex
I think the story of Iden wasn't necessarily bad, I just wish the game wasn't pitched as "fight from the other side", but was something more akin to the original BFII's 501st story campaign...but meh, that's just my take on it xD
The Single player game involving Iden Versió was really good, however I wish it was longer than it was.
thing is I feel like we were all lied to about the main story of this game, we were promised an imperial story because we are never told about the heroes of the empire. not since dark forces were we gunna get to play on the side of the empire for a change and they pulled a bait and switch, I enjoyed playing the main story very much up until the character switched sides. its like cant they make an interesting character that doesn't end up defecting to the rebels for once??
When did they confirm it would be an all Imperial story? Just because it's it looks like it doesn't mean it would be.
before the game launched
, they stated countless times we are gunna see heroes on the side of the empire
Well that explains why Hask hated the rebellion so much
Iden Versio is one of the worst Star Wars characters ever!
Some say if only she had stayed in the empire but banded to destroy cynder from within we could have got a story where she joins Rae Sloane and the rest to scape to join the first order... I myself even thought about that.......... But I think it's totally out of character for her to be actually with the first order.... I mean Rae Sloane's intentions were good to save the empire of an imminent fall, but then the first order becomes something even worse for what the empire was...so iden's good. Maybe if she only had one more mition alone, siding with no one...
Her defection would have felt better.
Agustín Baletti he defection was ass and remaining loyal to the core ideas of the empire like Sloane did is in no way out if character unlike joining the rebellion
Happy Martin Luther king day
Also as you told in your lore-play it would have been more convincing if Del talked to Leia on Naboo, instead of Iden.
Hi I like porgs
No one cares.
Hi I like Trains
@@ajzeg01 I care D:
Iden:need a slice Droid.Me:can I buy that thing?Iden:why?Me:it freaking HIJACKED AN AT-AT!edit:Me:for 10000 credits plz?
Such a good story and character but such a bad way to pit it out there. I really hope Jon Favreau does something more tangible with this in the near future.
Iden was an interesting character, until Disney messed up. First, her background story is amazing, until the creation of Inferno Squad and the dull missions they were sent on. The mere idea of having her go public like that when she's supposed to be special forces doesn't make any sense to me... Besides, she saw the destruction of Alderaan and had no problem with it. And she saw both Death Star being destroyed, with people she knew on them. Why would she have doubts just by discussing with one person? Especially a rebel? Second thing is Operation Cinder as a whole, which does not make any sense AT ALL! Stupidest plan ever, and Palpatine is definitelly not the type to do that. It does not fit the character. From there, Iden defecting was way too fast and doesn't fit the character at all. She was the kind of zealot believing that the Empire had its reason. Second, Imperial soldiers are trained to let go of attachment to their home planet in order to be solely loyal to the Empire (cf Lost Star novel).
So she was a character with a lot of potential, the idea of having the point of view of an Imperial on everything that happened was great. But as always, Disney just ruined it...
She may have used stun on lucks bon tary sorry on spelling it’s not confirmed either way tho
Do a video of what you think happens to Zay and Shriv in the outer rim. And do you think battlefront will add that? Continue Resurrection? I hope they do. They could get to like a new really pretty planet which is free from the war and plan to ask them to help the resistance but it’s swarming with stormtroopers and their could be like a load of epic battles for that bit and then some other adventurous stuff which the creators always add
I'm pretty sure if this story had been told as a movie or book Idens turn to the Alliance would have looked very different. But this format didn't really allow for much exposition and character development. It's not even roleplaying game, really. It's an ego-shooter. There can only ever be short cutscenes between missions, taking the wind out of the storytellers sails.
It's also notable that Iden never truly defected to the Rebel cause, she just wanted the war to end. Her turn came when she realized that the rebels were actually aiming for peace more than the Empire.
I would have preferred there to be a "light side/dark side"-decision though like in Jedi Academy.
The Inferno Squad book definitely explains a lot more into how she began to question the Empire's tactics.
Do an obi wan vid like this please. Or Darth maul would be good too
Rip
Asap Animation and del
it would have been better if she stayed loyal, i mean she saw alderann destruction and was like yeah imperials rule then swore to avenge the first death star destruction in the book, imagine her becoming a rally cry which imperials flocked too, leading up to a battle on jakku where she dies at luke skywalkers hands or barely escapes and becomes one of the founding member of first order instead, it blink and she now a rebel such a missed opportunity
Who agree to have a iden versio stand Alone flim
Masterblook gaming i do
NO HE LEFT ME TO DIE! MY OWN FATHER! LIARS! Sigh.... The story has been turned into a lie. Want me to successfully translate it? My father left when my mother died. I was 6 then. That kid found me, so we joined the Empire. Understood?
I still can't understand how Iden thougth she was on the good side, even after she saw how the empire blew up a planet full of inocent people. How did she justify that???
Don't. Don't question it
Or we could have gotten what we were promised which was a story between RotJ and TFA from the Empire/First Order point of view. Not yet another imperial defection story, ya know like Han, Wedge, Biggs, Kyle Katarn, General Madine... need I go on? I still am so disappointed that they took the easy, boring, safe, predictable route instead of giving us something cool and unique and interesting.
I can accept her defection.. But she can't just join the rebellion!! When Alderaan blew up she said "glorious rebel dust" like wtf you can't just become BFFs with them after that
I hated that Iden defected because i wanted an Imperial story in Battlefront 2
Who are y’all’s favorite characters from the game? I rlly like Shriv and Del
which characters you ask?
all of them.
i'm completely serious, just cover EVERY character like this lol (yes, even the mouse droids)
Cut scenes make a better movie than the JJ trilogy. It's all SW all the time with no agenda, no McGuffins, and no JJ.
Ironic, the best post Jedi film is from a video game, with one of the best characters
The game was fun until I had to play Kylo Ren which is a big turn off. The story ends with the battle of Not-Tatooine. Sequel storyline doesn't count.
Honestly Battlefront 2 is a great multiplayer game, the single player campaign feels rushed and tacked on but the multiplayer is still very much fun, I’d recommend giving this t a shot if you haven’t already, it goes on sale all the time.
Don’t get me wrong Iden Versio was an amazing character but I just wished that DICE kept the original Imperial campaign rather than have her defect so early on to the Rebels
I hope battlefront 2 comes to the switch (best console) the multiplayer looks pretty bad, but the story looks very interesting and fun
What a boring and uninspired character. I feel that description perfectly fits every character in Battlefront 2.
darth malgus . general grievous, satele shan. sifo-dyas, jengo fett
That was amazing by Gideon do you mean moff Gideon or husk?
if Iden's first assignment was on the Death Star AND she graduated on Coruscant.. did she more likely than not graduate with Thane Kyrell & Ciena Ree? :D
spikymike123 I don’t think they’re at the same school
i guess it makes sense that there'd be more than one per planet, especially on Coruscant
spikymike123 She didn't. Iden was a Senior Lieutenant during the battle of Yavin, so I'd say the Death Star was merely the first assignment that we know of. It was the first for Thane and Ciena period. At best I suppose that Iden could have been in her third year in the academy when Thane and Ciena started her first year.
ImperialistOpinions If I’m not mistaken, Iden was born in 22 BBY while Thane and Ciena were born in 19 BBY, so you could be right
Tnh i did like iden versio ever since the star wars battlefront 2 trailer came out there was so much build up for her but came down, once we iden and del defect the e mpire and join the rebellion but i still like her character
also known as a wasted opportunity to show a different kind of starwars. Instead we got the typical imperial defector woo hoo way to go
Was she a psych path 2 like her father. Or was she more like thrawn and rule with respect instead of fear
We're there still some Imperial installments after Vader died
Vardos was her homeworld, her birthplace, Alderaan meant nothing to her.
The person narrating this video sounds exactly like Datto.
I love how it’s all connected
Do I need pay a microtransaction to watch this video?
She should've been the officer of the special forces tie fighter units for the first Order
They threw away a character with such a good story, wow, f disney
Interesting, I learned about her from Star Wars Unlimited
Just started the campaign I hate the character already but I'll see I might like her
Did the inferno squad or at least Iden even have any encounter with Darth Vader?
Do complete story of aniken/Vader
Anakin
Yeah whatever
And they all so got intelligent over time so did they ever use there star destroyer to travel to different systems
What if your home country started blowing up your home town, you wouldn’t exactly want to stay with your home country after that
Many German soldiers did nearing the end of World War II after Hitler implemented a scorch earth final order on Germany after his suicide.
Nice! You could maybe do something like this for all of the Star Wars characters who have died. (Telling us about their lives, backstories etc). Also, I still think the Rebels were dumb for locking Iden up in her armour, with her baton thingy, and with her helmet... I mean, didn’t they think that she could probably do something with those 2 things. I mean, armour and a helmet are 50 percent of a Imperial Trooper... (the other 50 percent is a blaster, which is also -pretty- very important to a trooper who’s going to be fighting).
I do think she defected a little too soon, but the fact that she turned because the Empire attacked Vardos, is completely understandable.
