Decades Later
Star Wars Battlefront 2 Ending Explained
Decades after the Battle of Jakku, we’re taken back to Pillio for one final scene. Here, we see Kylo Ren traveling to the planet to interrogate a captured Del Meeko aboard the Corvus. Kylo Ren uses his powers to dive into Del’s mind, and destroy him from within. Kylo succeeds and ultimately learns the location of Lor San Tekka and the location of the Map to Skywalker. This is what we see happening at the beginning of The Force Awakens, so the event at the end of Battlefront II is the impetus for everything.
This ties into the earlier mission to Pillio, as the reason Del returned was in the hopes of meeting Luke Skywalker again. As this also ties into the Map to Skywalker, this is why we can presume the item Luke found earlier in the game was the map to the first Jedi temple.
It should also be noted that while Kylo is breaking Del we hear him say about Iden “You thought she changed you. You thought your daughter changed you.” This, of course, tells us that Del and Iden had a daughter, who’s identity we don’t know about. There’s a theory out there that says the daughter is actually Rey herself, but at this point there’s not much hard evidence to back it up, so take it with a grain of salt.
Kylo then tells a First Order officer to clean up the mess, who’s revealed to be none other than Hask, who Iden thought she killed at the Battle of Jakku. Del tells hask “Don’t pursue her. It won’t end well for you.” This is another line that could mean multiple things. Did he mean don’t pursue Iden, or maybe he meant his daughter is dangeroius? Hopefully we’ll find out with the story update coming soon. Hask presumably kills Del, and as he’s leaving the Corvus he mentions something called Project Resurrection with Protectorate Gleb. As security for the project had been breached by Del finding out about it, they discuss moving the project to another planet named Athullaa. Both Project Resurrection and Athulla aren’t something we’ve heard in the Star Wars universe yet, so there’s no way to tell how they might be related to Battlefront 2 or the larger series, not yet at least. The door is left open when Hask says to leave the Corvus untouched, in hopes of luring Iden Versio.
We will be getting a story update on Dec. 13, so it remains to be seen how that will further develop the story of Star Wars Battlefront 2.
