The ascent bubble trouble5/27/2023 ![]() When it reaches a certain altitude, the ship brakes for a beat, seemingly floating in place high above Kalevala, before Mando lets the ship slowly drift back down to get the drop on enemy fighters. In one combat sequence, Mando pilots his Naboo Starfighter straight up into the air, with the camera tracking its ascent. This may just be us, but it definitely looks like the episode sneaks in a little homage to the Batplane scenes from Tim Burton’s Batman. They’re also one of the oldest ships in Star Wars movie history, having been introduced in the very first scene of A New Hope. While this particular battleship is being dismantled by the New Republic, Star Destroyers are best known as the capital ships of the Imperial fleet. – Last but certainly not least is the classic Imperial Star Destroyer that Pershing and Kane sneak into in the Coruscant junkyards. This design first appeared in Return of the Jedi. They’re basically designed to prey on weaker ships, which they do here. These are upgraded versions of the standard TIE fighters, built for speed and outfitted with way more firepower. – Bo-Katan’s Gauntlet starfighter faces off against TIE interceptors in the opening combat sequence. Lots of Imperial ships return in “The Convert”… ![]() TIE Interceptors, Bombers, and Imperial Star Destroyers You’ll remember that in The Force Awakens, which is set some 30 years after Return of the Jedi, the New Republic capital is the doomed Hosnian Prime, which is blown to smithereens in that movie. The New Republic actually established a rule where the capital changes every couple of years for reasons. Instead, the central government of the New Republic is Chandrila, Mon Mothma’s home world. It should be noted that at this point in the Star Wars timeline, five-ish years after Return of the Jedi, Coruscant isn’t actually the capital of the galaxy anymore. The planet finally made its big screen debut in the 1997 Special Edition director’s cut of Return of the Jedi (during the celebration scenes at the end) before getting a more prominent appearance in The Phantom Menace.Ĭoruscant is located in a region of space known as the Core Worlds, which is the seat of power of the galaxy, containing the wealthiest planets, no matter which faction is ruling it. Alderaan was called Coruscant in early drafts of A New Hope, and Lucas almost included an Imperial city in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, too. George Lucas flirted with the idea of a planet called Coruscant long before these Expanded Universe stories, though. That said, the Imperial Capitol wasn’t properly named “Coruscant” until Timothy Zahn’s seminal Legends novel Heir to the Empire. Somehow, Coruscant returned! Everyone’s favorite city planet is best known as the setting of much of the Prequel Trilogy, especially Revenge of the Sith, but it was actually first introduced in the pages of the classic Marvel Star Wars comics, specifically issues #61 and 63 from 1982. By the end of the episode, Pershing is in pretty bad shape, as he undergoes a grotesque electroshock procedure at the hands of the New Republic (although it’s really Elia Kane who turns up the electrical current, which means this might actually be part of Gideon’s plan to get the doctor to defect back to the Empire). He wants to use cloning to make advancements in medicine, but the Empire twisted that for its own means (probably cloning the Emperor). Pershing’s first name is Penn and that the reason he’s devoted his life to experimenting with cloning is because he believes the research could save people’s lives.

This happened for me during Lost and Found when you inspect the yellow bags (didn't progress after checking all three) and during Dreadful Situation when you need to kill everyone in the Glittering Rose (they didn't spawn). Some of these can be slightly buggy, so if you find you've got to a location where the side missions should progress and it doesn't, you may need to exit your game and reload to try again. These will show up as a yellow diamond on your map, and can be tracked separately from your main mission if you need help find where to go. There are a total of 28 side missions in The Ascent.
