The Mission on Pillio
Star Wars Battlefront 2 Ending Explained
To understand the ending, it’s first important to talk about the mission on Pillio, the campaign mission that has you playing as Luke Skywalker. Luke is drawn to some kind of power on the planet Pillio, where he’s met by legions of Stormtroopers up to something. There’s also a hostile colony of bugs trying to fend off invaders. Luke meets Del Meeko of Inferno Squad on Pillio, who was sent to destroy a secret cache of the Emperor’s, and ends up saving his life. The two work together to survive the hostile planet, and Luke defends Del while he takes the Imperial base’s defenses offline.
The pair discovers the Emperor’s war cache, where Luke finds a mysterious device that he’s inexplicably drawn to. Although the game doesn’t explicitly say what this is, it’s presumably the map that leads Luke to the first Jedi temple on Ahch-To, where he’d later go into hiding. Del and Luke leave on amicable terms, and the event is what first causes Del to question his role with the Empire and what he’s doing.
