![The Special Red Uniformed Imperial Officers and Their True Power in the Empire [Legends]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/oDZunvFz9Nw/mqdefault.jpg)
Admiral Yularen was loyal to the government. He was never loyal to Jedi. If the Jedi betrayed the government, then he viewed them as traitors.
naaa i like the title top ten anime betrayals
Thanks for writing that, that's what I was gonna say. Also, maybe the empire said help us or your family disappears.
I mean technicaly could he he even have betrayed the jedi? Did he know the order 66 was even coming? Because simply staying in the navy after the fact really should not even count as betrayal.
He also probably didn't want to be killed for treason by deserting
This is why I dislike the whole Order 66 chip implant thing
When Yularen finds out the “dark lord” is the little shit that destroyed multiple of his ships and almost killed him
I think he may have been one of the very few who knew. Or at least suspected. I mean, he was the head of the imperial intelligence people.
@@hosmerhomeboy oh I don’t think so
@@hosmerhomeboy he was not head of The ISB he was a colonel which would make him an officer not command or the inner circle
@@admiralwolf7218he is likely the head by a new hope as he is on the death star meeting of officers
@@messydeskproductions4159 I do see what you mean I was meant to put him not in command of the whole isb but one of the senior officers
He was tired of being forced to read the episode synopsis of every event in the Clone Wars
JEDI KNIGHTS OBI WAN KENOBI, ANAKIN SKYWALKER, AND HIS PADAWAN AHSOKA TANO yadda yadda
WAR!
literatemax 😂😂
*A GALAXY DIVIDED*
I'm your 1.4kth liker! What do I get?
He didn't betray the Jedi, after all he never left Anakin
Edit: Guys, this is a joke. Please stop taking it so seriously
That one true friend that would help you kill all your other friends and be a space nazi for you
@@iamblight707 We all need a friend like that.
@@morgatron4639 That's not a friend, thats a puppet. Kenobi was the friend.
Yes, but Anakin left the jedi, so Yularen following him does not mean he didn't leave
Did Anakin not betray the Jedi?
In short, Wulff Yularen was loyal to the government and it's military, and that didn't change with the legal transition from republic to empire. It was never about Jedi and Sith, it was about peace and security. From his perspective, the change in government only improved the stability of the galaxy, as it went from total war to minor unrest and unpopular revolt. A few pirates and extremists instead of a large percentage of the galaxy shooting at each other.
Mind you, he likely never knew the war was started by the one who created the Empire just so it would seem to be an improvement.....
Palpatine also maintained his power by convincing the masses he was busting government corruption in the Senate, something Yularen was very passionate about
I am curious what the politics would look like if he found out about the conspiracy.
Literally the Empire was more corrupt and less stable. Since you know there was a rebellion
Patch Selg The rebellion is tiny though.
@@karakas9905 No? People were literally party like it was the greatest shit it in the galaxy that the Emperor was dead.... in the Empire's Capital.
He didn’t betray the Jedi. He was an admiral of the republic- turned empire.
Didn’t know you could edit thumbnails on RUclips years after the original upload
“Lucas was a well known Jedi sympathizer. Someone who could hardly be called objective.” 😂
"If you know your enemy and know yourself you need not fear the result of a hundred battles"
-sun tzu
Wulffe took this to heart
In the clone wars I always thought Yularen was the narrator.
I think they just used the same voice actor. It's not unusual in anime for one person to voice multiple characters.
Lol right
Well that guy did the voice of Yoda, Yularen, and the narrator. He also did the Japanese guy off of CoD zombies.
Same 🤣😂
Lennis01 *animation
8:25 woah, where'd the accent come from?
It's almost British
Sounds Aussie xD
Noticed it too. Probably had a friend do an edit stand in.
New Zealand / Clone accent.
It was completely out the blue
Lmao the updated thumbnail got me confused for a sec
Just noticed this sneaky thing.
thought i was trippin
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
I never felt he betrayed them. He seemed like the kind of man that did what he thought was right. And tried to help the galaxy regardless who was ruling
Updated tbumb... Good vid, man.
It’s treason then
Power! Unlimited power!
The Senate will decide your fate.
@@cheezcarrot9633 I AM THE SENATE
< Autistic screech >
Are you threatening me master jedi?
He's just tired from saying the monologue before each episode.
is it actually his character or just the vo? always thought it was a republic newsreader doing basically war propoganda
"The reason for my uniform being a diferent color from yours is NEVER explained"
A classic trope.
Very _very_ well done. I love how the CLone Wars (and other TV series) are able to take the SW universe into *SO* much more depth and subtly than the movies simply don't have time to. Instead of "Good vs. Evil" it's more of "People vs. People", all of which have their own motivations and goals. You can RELATE to this kind of storytelling far better than the oversimplified Hero's Journey that gets packaged up in a 2-hour story arc.
Hallofo Exactly. And that’s why I usually prefer series over movies, there’s just more time to flesh out characters and stories.
Yularen: *betrays the jedi*
Also yularen: *proceeds to carry on working for anakin*
Yularen was loyal to the Republic. So when the Republic transitioned into the Empire, he kept his alleigance
So do you think he would have joined the new republic
He didn’t betray the Jedi. You have to trust someone to betray them.
Not neccesarily though
Not really. You may not trust your army, but if you turn on them it's still betrayal.
X45 incorrect they have to trust you.
@@NightRaven-lh1bf your examples for your second point actually prove you do need trust for betrayal. In the General case, they are in a position of trust. Doesn't matter if you've ever met them, they are naturally supposed to be trusted. As for the second example, there was no trust in the first place since they're competing , therefore there can't be bytrayal. Unless some is using illegal means to succeed in which case they were betrayed, since everyone is to trust the rest play by the rules. Both these show you need trust, in order for it to be called a bytrayal. That's why people "you betrayed me trust"
@@NightRaven-lh1bf I never seen an intelligent debate in the RUclips comments, thank you for this.
Kind of a random thing to comment, but for the return of the clone wars show I hope they make a new Lego Venator, so we can have a clone wars version Minifigure of this guy ^^
I used to have the Venator lego set, but it got destroyed when I moved ;(
I still have it with the death star plans.
Mine got destroyed, but sheev is alright
@@arthursouza8100 Dont you mean the senate?
Its you-lar-en not yulren. This is how they say it in the clone wars animated series. If I'm mistaken tell me in the comments.
Transformation animations you are mistaken
lol nah u right bruh
Potentially shows that he's never actually watched The Clone Wars
This hurt my ears. So much so that stopped watching and immediately searched for this comment.
I honestly don't know how someone could hear a name spoken several times over several episodes in 2 different TV series, and STILL can't pronounce the name correctly. It's like that dumbass car in Planes 2, when the fire truck was repeating his name over and over, and the idiot car kept saying the wrong name back, like he was physically incapable of hearing the correct name.
He also can't pronounce Ahsoka Tano's name right either and it's pissing me off
What is Wulff's most said comment about jedi in the clone wars?
"Are all Jedi this reckless?" I can think of atleast 4 times he says that IN THE FIRST 2 SEASONS
I like the fact that Palpatine remembers loyal people from the past and give them good jobs in the present. This is what a good Leader should do.
Sith make great leaders and even better people
Tyrants and monsters always reward loyalty over merit or good done. This is very typical in dictatorships.
It also assists in Genocide, and is a big reason why wildly incompetent idiots end up in charge, like Tarkan.
@@RobinTheBot swoosh
I'd say the Empire falls victim to the "Good Principles, Bad Leaders" trope, I mean, you have good leaders like say Yularen or Rae Sloan who what to make the Empire a better alternative to the republic, but all that gets screwed up by people at the top like Tarkin, Vader, or even the Emperor.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
So very true, and Tarkin and Palpatine are truly corrupted
@@cwstaten1765 - Absolute power attracts the absolutely corrupt, as well.
Good principles? Which one? Specism? Facism? What principles are these?
Asa Schuemann how could it be that, when the entire concept of the Empire was created by Palpatine in the first place? It was always meant to be ruled by people like Tarkin, Vader and the Emperor. It was rotten from the beginning. The Empire wasn’t built on higher principles. It wasn’t the ‘bad’ realization of a more ‘pure’ dream of the masses. All that nonsense about peace, stability and security was just the populist bait to fool well meaning people into serving evil. The fact that even fairly low level Imperial leadership tended to be corrupt, cruel and generally evil was not a ‘mistake’ in the system. It was the very essence of the system.
Is that a Christmas tree still going strong?
Christmas is forever at my house
Generation Tech still going I hope
Hey there Allen, first time viewer here. I have to say, this content is thorough, comprehensive and relevant. I admired the way you not only detailed the history of the character, but also associated it with the political climate, character arcs and values he was a part of. And the way you tied together the themes of his life to relevant customs and affairs in the real world was absolutely brilliant. You have won yourself an eager and captive subscriber. Thank you for the quality content.
Great vid, and a fair assessment.
I don't get why people say "joined the Empire" like he's changed sides though. When Palpatine transformed the Republic into the Empire, there wasn't a "do or don't" choice handed out to everyone. Every Republic officer was simply an Imperial officer now. And every Republic citizen was simply an Imperial citizen now.
For example: when the Republic turned into the Empire, Commandant Pell Baylo
rejected it in favour of the Republic, but he was already an Imperial officer.
"I need tons and tons of details, unnecessary details"
me and my RUclips subscriptions in a nutshell
😂
Yularen may not have known about Order 66, and he may not have known about Palpatine being a Sith Lord who liked to kill droves of people and such facts creating the "assassination" attempt (because, really, Sith and Jedi have NO rules about how many you bring to a fight to take down the other) , but he sure knew about blowing up Alderaan and plans on doing similar destruction in other systems ... he sure knew the fear that was created by the Empire (as opposed to the general confusion and discontent about the Jedi), and he CERTAINLY knew that corruption wasn't weeded out because of the name change from "Republic" to "Empire" ... and we ALL saw how he responded to one of his colleagues being choked to death AT A MEETING simply for voicing a disagreement and disbelief in a power that most had not known about BECAUSE of those in power, harsh though that expression may have been. Having worked with Jedi who never choked their military colleagues for having a differing opinion and then totally accepting a Sith Lord and ruling body that totally dealt with leadership changes due to the overly sensitive whims of a grown version of the young Jedi he once knew (although, I guess he didn't know that was Anakin), well ... he's either an opportunist, a morally bereft person, or a person who did not realize that he had a penchant for evil behavior until the world changed. He's firmly on the bad side, IMHO. I totally understand him not liking the Jedi behavior of elevating their ranks to "General" on a whim , and then putting those people in charge of vast number of lives ... that is a BS move of MANY BS moves that the Jedi undertook. But, participating in PLANET DESTRUCTION ... to TEST a weapon? Watching the death of your colleague without batting an eye? Yeah ... he's an "OTHER" for me: one who is ACTIVE in the downfall of civilized discourse and embraces or even just accepts the evil around them as long as they prosper. One of the many who were necessary for the Empire to prosper and continue crushing others ... all for Palpatine's drive for power and eternal life. He could have retired and taken on a desk job, but he desired to be in the room where it happened and at the table where a good choking or promotion could be had by any who walked out of the room. I guess you can tell I disagree with some of the conclusions regarding Yularen's baseline personality as set forth at the end of the video.
I'm subscribed to many star wars channels but this channels my favorite of them all. Feels like theres alot of quality and effort made into every video.
That's cool. The novel approach to things looks at people, who may turn out good, bad, or anywhere in between, while the epic approach is about ideals, with clearly distinguished heroes and villains. What I like about the novel approach is you still have heroes and villains without the baggage of lumping everyone on a given side as good or bad. It's a more human and advanced way to tell a story.
It was driving me me insane that he was prenouncing Yularin Yulrin
Yularen*
I know what you mean, but on the other hand, you wrote “prenouncing” when you meant “pronouncing” - and I’m guilty of far worse at times than either of you two - so there’s that,
@@sfkeepay lol
There is a good reason why in zombie movies/tv series etc the beginning of the apocalypse is always left blurred, skipped over and not fleshed out and properly explained. And that is because zombie apocalypse is simpy an impossible scenario. For zombies to become the snowball effect doom we all know and love, an imposible number of things would have to go wrong in the beggining to the point of parody of human incompetence. Zombies are easy to kill and defend from unless there are swarms of them and the government is down, and there is no writter yet that could figure out how to it came to that in a convincing manner. That is why most information is left out or broadly generalised - the less information, the less plotholes.
@@NightRaven-lh1bf I am aware of this scenario and have not included it in my comment because
1. How many zombie movies tv shows actually have this? It is far more popular to have zombies rise about "naturaly", and if they are human made, then its an accident, therefore not under human control.
2. If humans launched the attack, they are naturally prepared. If a country´s goverment engineered the zombies, then that country will target a specific country to damage it, not the whole world, and certainly not itself. Most countries relly on the world for trade and wealth and that goes double for despots and dictators.
In order for the zombies to spread, you´d need to use the weapon simoultaneously on multiple countries. I cannot imagine a governement willing to destroy each country on earth. Not even North Korea, as it rellies on China when it comes to trade.
So we already need a non-existent governement that for some reason wants to destroy all of civilisation, has no allies or trade interests. And somehow, isn´t prepared for the apocalypse.
If a terrorist group launched the attack, they would, again, target a specific group and country. So we need a hypothetical terrorist that wants to destroy the whole world. And somehow has this specific bioweapon. And wasn´t stopped. So we have a superpowerfull group, that is nihilistic at the same time, while world goverments totally fail to stop them.
A bit more believable, but you still need sooo much going for the attacker and all to go wrong for the goverments.
NightRaven 1901 Ok, that is actually a pretty good scenario. What we seem to differ in is what we classify as “apocalypse”. For me, that is the whole world going down/being hit. WWZ being the best case scenario.
What you have laid down I would call an outbreak, that will certainly take many lives, but not the world.
what about the samson option?
Did he know Anakin was Vader ? As the head of the ISB you’d expect him to know this or at least find it out later
Palpatine could've easily told him he was the One Jedi that let him in on the assassination plot and saved his life, and was sent on a mission to find the Jedi's CIS cohorts and was injured in the process, becoming Vader. Hed also understand Vaders enthusiasm for rooting out Rebels based on what happened to him and Palpatine. But I doubt he knows he's Anakin.
I think only a few imperials including tarkin knew about Vader being Anakin. If anyone found out about it and Vader discovered they knew, they would be killed.
I'm pretty sure very few people knew, maybe only Palpatine knew who knows.
I have waited YEARS for a video like this, thank you for making it. Yularen has always been that interesting guy no one talks about. It's good to know what he was really about and I respect him more for it now.
I would like for him to meet Vader - and then find out who he really is.
longley62 _“Ok Vader, no more ramming Separatist-cruisers under a false flag of peace. Got it?”_

Tbf over time she did prove herself a worthy commander.
What was that glowing orb that Boss Ruger Nass had during the victory parade? It's never explained what it is, or even mentioned again for that matter
It’s on the wiki. It’s called the globe of peace. It symbolises the peace on naboo. Padme gave it to nass to show the accord between the gungans and Naboo
I personally believe his moustache told him to do it.
Yularen was known to be extremely annoyed by Anakin’s tactics while in battle
Did anyone else notice that at 8:26 his voice changed
I was wondering about that.
David Alvarez ikr what is it
@@joshmathis5337 It's another guy who does videos on his channel, I forgot his name
Dante Sami ok thank you
What about his feelings about the destruction of Alderaan?
Alderaan shouldn't have fired first.
He either didnt like it but wasnt about to protest or may have felt they were a source of a large part of the corruption based on The Empires accusations of rebellion there.
Luke shoved a couple of proton torpedoes up his sphincter, so he didn't have feelings one way or another very long.
As a senior intelligence agent, Yularen likely knew about Bail Organa’s and Leia’s involvement with the Rebellion. Also, Alderaan society was very much into peaceful protest and passive resistance, e.g. refusing to enforce Imperial laws they disagreed with, particularly those concerning treatment of alien species and limiting personal freedoms.
As a strictly law abiding Imperial officer and citizen, Yularen would have had little sympathy for people who tried to cherry pick which laws they would and would not obey, and who deliberately obstructed Imperial law enforcement agencies in their duty to uphold the law.
Alderaan’s passive resistance had been a thorn in the Empire’s side for a very long time, it was the political centre of passive resistance to the Empire, and a rallying point for disaffected Imperial citizens.
Although the Alderaanians had renounced warfare and violence themselves, their largely successful civil disobedience to Imperial law was encouraging people from other worlds who had no such ethical qualms to rebel against the Empire. You don't have to be a bomb-throwing anarchist yourself, or actively support those who are, to help create the political conditions in which groups of bomb-throwing anarchists can take root and thrive. (As we should know from events on Earth.)
In many ways, the leaders and people of Alderaan had brought their ultimate fate upon themselves.
Yularen may not have approved of Grand Moff Tarkin’s drastic ‘Final Solution’ to the problem of Alderaan, but he would have certainly sympathised with the Emperor’s political frustrations concerning Alderaan, and understood why Palpatine had given Tarkin a completely free hand in how to resolve the issue once and for all.
@@brianrobinson5012 Very good point
7:40 Wasn't Ahsoka 14 in the early clone wars seasons
I’m a little late to comment but you really impressed me. You combine personal views with logical facts. A lot of SW content creators on RUclips just recite Wookieepedia article (few are different). I don’t usually like those videos, I rather read the article myself.
Anyway, what immediately convinced me to subscribe was your last opinion and how you communicated it. The point about polarizing people and to not see the empire as just bad because we only see (at least in visual content like movies and shows) the evil side of the empire. Sure, it did a lot wrong but as you said, it’s more like the real world. A lot of governments or politicians are bad but the whole nation and its people don’t have to be as evil as their leader. You don’t demonize the North Korean citizen just because their leader is considered bad. They can believe in their system and still be good people and the same counts for the empire. After people saw the republic fail through corruption and war they wanted peace and stability and the empire offered it to them.
Did he know the truth about Darth Vader
They said Tarkin did don’t know about Yularen tho
I was gonna ask as well, i mean he had a lot of battle experience with anakin and vader, and if he saw what the 2 can do he had to have a hunch, well assuming he cared, couldve been like Tarkin where he didnt care to investigate
Considering he knew Anakin and his tactics pretty well I would imagine he would at the very least suspect Vader´s identity. After all he was able do identify Trench after one fight with him. So the identity of the force user in command of Anakin´s old batalion and with Anakin´s tactical skills should be easy to guess. Though he would probably not care enough about it to confront Vader about it in any way.
He would know, because of his background in Intelligence. He would connect all the information gathered and reach a conclusion.
I doubt it but he could've
I love that Disney canon shows the grey area more when it comes to the empire
Its not like legends did'nt
He was always a Lawful Neutral kind of person who had been hardened by corruption that festered in the Old Republic and allowed the Separatists to form. What reveals his callous nature that leans him towards Lawful Evil is that he didn't seemed bothered by the deaths of so many Jedi with Order 66, many of whom were either former comrades or children.
I would say you might wanna check out the newer Thrawn series. I believe it talks a bit about Yularin as being passed over for promotion several times and remained a Colonel. That caused some strife; and why he ended up in the ISB. Rebels also talks a bit about him being a mentor to Kallus. Colonel Yularen also was the deputy director for the Naval Intel Agency.
Great video and great message at the end of the video. I’m an independent voter, and gosh it’s so sad seeing people who are far right or far left and demonize the other side.
I like to think that they are the loud minority
The Thumbnail seriously makes his middle aged portrayal look VERY young xD
He was like Lord Varis in G.O.T. He was loyal to "the realm".
It would have been the exact opposite of that. He was loyal to the government regardless of the effect it had on the "realm".
Yularen still got that slick mustache still sheeesh
Yet another worthwhile video. But why did you (Alan) suddenly (and temporarily) sound Australian at 8:26?
And excellent point about our truly grey (as opposed to black and white) world.
Because this lone Wulff was never part of the Jedi pack.
I'll jump into the Saarlac Pit now
Wait, how this video is from 3 years ago?
changed thumbnail
@@pvzblizzard5806 Ah
One thing I loved about Rogue One is that while it did not necessarily portray any sympathetic Imperial loyalists, it did show the darker side of the Rebellion. The Original Trilogy shows a rebel force who were pretty much on the same page as the likes of Bail Organa and Mon Mothma, who desired to restore the Republic. But then you had the likes of Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor who didn't care much for the politics... after all, politicians were by and large at the heart of the very same corruption that Yularen hated so much and though Palpatine would solve. But then you also had actual terrorists like Saw Gerrera, who just wanted to watch the Empire burn.
Also, in Star Wars the Old Republic, you can align with the Light Side while being aligned with the Sith Empire and Dark Side in the Republic.
Star Wars is so much more interesting when moral ambiguity is entered into the mix. While I certainly still view the Jedi, the Republic, the Rebel Alliance and the Resistance as the good guys for the most part, given my own real life political views, it is a whole lot more enjoyable when Sith and Imperials have challenging moral arguments in favour of their system as well.
A brilliant analysis of a complexly written, layered character.
I was literally wondering this just a couple days ago.... GET YOUR MICROPHONES OUT OF MY HOUSE!
Ok fine
Admiral Yularen disliked the video himself.
I think that Yularen in time would have actually been a character that would have turned on the Empire over a long period of time before being killed in the Death Star if he actually had the chance. He was loyal to the Empire but did not know a lot of the actions behind the scenes. Recent Star Wars has been doing a good job showing that the Empire and Rebels are not so polarized in being good and evil as people think. Having Yularen and Thrawn together in one scene such as Rebels was the best thing they could have done for his character. He was serving as a character trying to figure out what is going on instead of being evil. He practically became a Dr. Watson to Thrawn.
The irony of Yularen commenting about Kallus’ betray of the empire, when he himself betrayed the republic.
Anyone gonna mention how creased his shirt is?
;P love the vids
The explanation is simple. Yularen is an officer and his job would have been on the line. That’s how officers work
He is the most surprising betrayal that got me 😢
After watching clone wars and learning that he was in the OG trilogy
Damn 😔
I am totally with you on the problem with zombie apocalypse stories.
Kind of reminds me of Erwin Rommel. He just simply served for the sake of serving. There wasn't anything they cared to gain in terms of power, but they may or may not have agreed with those they served/served with, but they still did what needed to be done no questions asked.
So I've been wondering if GenTech could make a video about the Republics anti-vehicle cannons. I've looked into it a bit, but its still a big mystery to me. Love all the work you guys have done. keep it up
More importantly how did the Admiral get a lower hairline when he was old?
Apparently, the empire has hair implants
Wonderful episode, really appreciate the consideration given to characters that end up on the wrong side through good intentions. It really is all grey at times.
Good explanation! Liked it! And I like characters like Yularen or Thrawn who have their own way to see things and fight for what they stand for - showing that nothing is just black and white, even not being evil or good :)
How did the zombie apocalypse start?
Dolphins !…just saying.
Those bastard! Even after all those fish we gave them all those fish, they did this to us!
Nice video! So WHEN IS EARTH IN STAR WARS COMING?!
wut u said in 11:00 is prob the truest thing ive heard today thank you
It may have simply been that even if he were inclined to support the Jedi after Order 66 was issued, so many were wiped out that he felt he had no choice but to fall in line with the Empire to save his own life. Think about it: He was surrounded by clone troopers --who were steadfastly loyal to Palpatine and were the ones who killed the Jedi-- and only a handful of Jedi survived and they all went into hiding. He was no dummy. He likely realized that even if he didn't agree with what Palpatine had done, he was alone and surrounded by clones who would likely have arrested or killed him the moment he spoke up.
Here's a thought: if Yularen knew the whole truth about Order 66, what would he have done?
@@NightRaven-lh1bf Well that's certainly one possibility; although I think he might have helped one or two Jedi that he personally liked but no more than that. Of course if he knew just what kind of person Palpatine was well who knows?
@@NightRaven-lh1bf I can agree to that. Regardless, it really is a shame he lost his life on the DS 1. Maybe he could've served the New Republic or even the First Order if he lived that long.
@@NightRaven-lh1bf Nice to know. But my biggest question is: did he know Darth Vader was Anakin Skywalker? I don't think he did (considering very few people did) but I cold be wrong.
Whatever was in the best interests of the service.
I’d say if he knew the whole truth behind the Clone Wars and Order 66 he’d leave the empire. He hates corruption and lies and Palpatine used those two things during his ascent to the top. He’d know the empire is built on corruption and lies so he’d fight it
Love the conclusion Alan, Referring to modern times and polarisation of opinions.. I’ve never known such a divide in politics and culture- Something that Star Wars does extremely well being so vast is to draw from a lot of real-life events and in many ways it’s almost prophetic in what it has eluded to.
Great analysis, He’s an interesting figure and someone I didn’t know much about apart from his brief background appearance in “A New Hope”.
I’m interested to hear more about good Imperials.. It’s something that really interests me. I guess Han Solo would feature, Possibly Mara Jade (I remember an old comic “Emperor’s Hand”)- Didn’t she end up with Luke? I suppose that’s no longer cannon now?!
If you remember Star Wars Allegiance, Emperor's Hand made that case about an Imperial who had been falsely accused. Not to mention the group of Storm Troopers who set out to end corruption. It is not black and white, though I think when Tarkin decided to destroy Aldeeran all that good will was thrown out the window.
The hell else he’s gonna do? Quit and find a job somewhere else? Start a moisture farm? 😂
Uncle owen: *grips blaster rifle with malice*
Good man. Never made any real connections, but was always cordial with everyone. I can see why everyone liked him. Smart, level headed, experienced and polite.
Unfortunately, if I had a jedi that had no battle tactic experience always getting me seconds from death, i'd be pretty heated too. The jedi were very reckless with their resources and it put good people in danger. Wulff probably got fed up so he had no problem with the empire.
I play an ISB agent in my star wars table top game. Yularen actually discovered my character as a teen and forced him into the ISB academy, now he's infiltrated a player rebel cell. It's so much fun spying on my fellow players.
It's pronounced "You-laar-en". You're good actor but if you really watched the show I feel like you would know this lol
Nerd.
Thank you for the last minute of this video. I feel like a lot of ppl need to hear what you were saying.
Ultimate Centrist take
The mispronunciation of his name makes me cringe every time 😶
I can't tell if he's doing it on purpose or if he's never watched it.
He probably just doesn’t remember it, it’s a minor detail, and the series is pretty old by now
I loooove when RUclipsrs don't bother to learn how to pronounce certain names...he's definitely not the only one.
Better pay and maybe the job came with better health insurance?
If only the insurance/ Assurance included being blown up in a massive space war star.
i didnt care or think about this guy too much i liked that he was the narrator voice but its awesome he is in *ANH* and he is totally relatable as a character to me now
His Portrayal in the Thrawn Arc was pretty awesome.
I am primarily referring to the first book in the new series.
Because Darth jar jar was on the empires team
that was some nice banter about Lucas being a Jedi sympathizer...lol
I just love how his voice actor is the rabbit from Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends.
It just makes me imagine him having a huge mustache the flaps when he talks
Very good analysis at the end. You can disagree on some issues but have basic good core values that you share in.
People always think of the Empire in terms of black and white. But when you think about it you realize there's actually a lot of grey to them as well.
They were stereotyping individuals, which happens to much today! By the way great accent Alen👍☯️👍
Yularen was a very prominent character in the early parts of the clone wars show, why was he phased out. He was as prominent as the others and at some point stopped appearing. He worked closely with Anakin and his team.
I had no idea he was a character from the first movie! That’s crazy!
After the rise of the Empire, the people of the Republic was divided into two groups: Imperials and Rebels. Examples: Commanders Cody and Rex. Forget the inhibitor chips, Cody stayed with the Empire while Rex joined the Rebellion
It’s ok! I understand! I also need those details! That’s why I watch your channel!
Lmao @ "Lucas was a well known Jedi sympathizer".
