9 Star Wars Cliffhangers We'll Never Get The Answer To

Due to a video game series never producing another chapter, certain legend stories not being

continued, or even newer Star Wars stories seemingly moving in a different direction

going forward, all of these tantalizing Star Wars cliffhangers will now likely, well, never be

resolved. And that's a damn shame too, as the answers have the potential to be quite fascinating

But there were simply other tales to be told, people, and it seems like this collection of

events will now be left dangling off the edge of a cliff for eternity. So I'm Gareth, this is

WhatCultureStarWars, and here are 9 Star Wars cliffhangers we'll never get the answer to

Number 9. Arla Fett, Boba's long-lost aunt, has her memory wiped and then just disappears

Introduced during the Jango Fett open seasons comic book written by Hayden Blackman, Arla Fett

the older sister of Jango, was actually once assumed dead after Death Watch attacked her family

home on Concord Dawn during the Mandalorian Civil War. However, it was later revealed that

she was captured by and ultimately became an assassin for Death Watch, before being arrested

and thrown into a mental institute on Coruscant. She'd stayed there for years and was heavily

sedated to stop her from killing herself because of the guilt she felt over working with the group

who had killed her family, but was eventually freed by Jedi-turned-Mandalorian Barden Jusic

in the Republic Commando novels. In the end, Jusik would wipe a tormented Arla's memory

and that was all Karen Travis wrote, ending this fet story on a bit of a cliffhanger, really

With Travis never getting to officially conclude the Republic Commando series after she backed away from the project due to continuity changes

made in the Clone Wars animated series, Arla's fate was left largely up in the air

and while those desperately wanting to learn what officially happened to Arla next

where at least given a few interesting bullet points from Travis that explained where she roughly thought the characters were going

Arla would have married Jussik and forgotten she was ever Arla Fett after her memory wipe

that still doesn't technically count as an official conclusion to her story

Now, Star Wars has shown a willingness to incorporate elements from the Legends continuity more and more of late

but the chances of Boba Fett's auntie showing up, meeting her nephew, and then explaining where she'd been in the new canon after all these years still feels slim at best

especially after the flop that was the Book of Boba Fett. 8. Who is Revan in the new canon

Though fans haven't technically seen the legendary Darth Revan on screen since Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012

his name has very much been mentioned. But the cliffhanger of precisely when this Old Republic icon

will go from being little more than the name of a Sith Trooper Legion or the name mumbled by cultists to actually showing up in the new canon

is still one that shows no signs of being resolved. Though fans did come very close to seeing Revan appear in Star Wars The Clone Wars

during the Ghosts of Mortis episode, that scene was ultimately scrapped in the end

However, with the Old Republic era being present on Disney's latest Star Wars timeline last year

fans will definitely be hoping that the long wait for a project set in this much-loved period

within the Legends continuity will come to an end in the not-too-distant future

At time of recording though the planned possibly canon remake of the classic Knights of the Old Republic video game doesn seem like it be clearing up this Revan mystery any time soon due to that game going through some development troubles And there sadly aren any other New Old Republic stories currently in the works either

So an answer to precisely who Revan was or what this era really looked like in the new canon

will probably remain unanswered for some time yet, if not forever. Which part of the Legends continuity do you want to see introduced in the new canon, folks

You let me know in the comments section down below. Number 7. Sev's fate in Republic Commando

Elite Clone Commando, Sev, is a character fans of the Star Wars Republic Commando video game know all too well

During that game's last mission on Kashyyyk, the rest of Delta Squad hear that the sniper is under heavy attack

But before they can get to their comrade and ensure he's safe from harm, the squad are ordered to evacuate, leaving behind poor Sev

And while Sev would eventually go on to appear in Star Wars The Clone Wars Witches of the Mist episode

fans never actually learned whether he survived that fateful fight on Kashyyyk or not

with Sev simply being reported as missing in action from that point on in Legends continuity

And the Clone Wars episode was set before all this. The Delta Squad members' one-time training sergeant, Waylon Vow, did attempt to find Sev on the planet, but to no avail

A sequel game was also reportedly planned at one point, with one version of it involving Sev playing a big part in starting up the rebellion

But that never came into being, and the new canon just doesn't seem all that interested in the fate of this brave soldier

It appears the answer to this agonizing cliffhanger will remain missing alongside Sev then

6. Is Cad Bane Actually Dead? After making a hell of a name for himself in the animated section of this galaxy far, far away

ruthless bounty hunter Cad Bane finally made his live-action debut in The Book of Boba Fett

Said live-action run was ultimately short-lived, however, as the sharpshooting Duras time in the Star Wars franchise reached its end

thanks to his old apprentice and the pointy end of Fett's Gadurfi stick

Or maybe not. The fact Bane's suit is still seen beeping and flashing before the scene ends in that final episode in the series

has left many believing this is a sign that he may not be dead after all

But with this cliffhanger coming at the end of a show which received mixed reviews

and probably won't be followed up with a season 2 in the coming years

it is highly unlikely that Bane's arc will continue in another chapter of this particular book

If he did indeed survive, I mean there's a chance he could show up in another New Republic era show

away from the Book of Boba Fett and face off with Temura Morrison one more time

However, it's far more likely that Disney will just draw a line under the somewhat disappointing Mandalorian spin-off and Bane's story with Thet

and simply continue using the blue badass in animated projects set before he was stabbed if they really want to bring him back

In other words, the truth behind those blinking lights will probably remain a mystery, folks

5. What was George Lucas' specific plan for Maul and Talon in his sequel trilogy

Before Disney unleashed their version of a sequel trilogy into the world

George Lucas had his own ideas for another collection of movies set after the original Star Wars trilogy

and it was within this plan that something of a fascinating cliffhanger emerged

You see, according to Paul Duncan's Star Wars Archives 1999-2005 reference book

Lucas planned to have both an older Darth Maul and Darth Talon famously created as the villain of the Star Wars Legacy Legends comic series appear as the key villains in the films But while it was explained in that same book that

in Lucas' version of the sequels, Maul would have become the godfather of crime in the universe

after the Empire fell, and Leia and Luke would have been trying to rebuild the Republic and

restart the Jedi, respectively, it wasn't really specifically stated how Talon and Maul's story

would have fully unfolded on screen. Lucas did refer to Talon as the new Darth Vader

and most of the action was with her, but that's about it, and no other details about the Twi'lek's arc in the films

Her relationship with Maul or encounters with the main heroes were mentioned by the main man himself

Though it is worth noting that Lucasfilm's story group member Pablo Hidalgo

would actually add that there were seemingly plans to have Talon corrupt Han Solo and Leia Organa's son at one point

Again, though, we didn't hear from Lucas. But with George now happily enjoying retirement, the official answers to this intriguing sequel-pitched cliffhanger of Lucas' own making will almost certainly remain locked inside of that mind forevermore

Number 4. Jabba the Hutt's son is rescued and we hardly ever see him again

Along with introducing the world to the eventual Clone Wars legend that is Ahsoka Tano

2008's Star Wars The Clone Wars movie also brought with it the arrival of an unexpected son

It turned out that none other than Jabba the Hutt himself had a baby boy by the name of Rota

with this little slug being kidnapped and later rescued during the poorly received animated picture

And while you'd think something as interesting as one of the most recognizable foes in the galaxy far, far away

having a child would be mentioned again in the future, Rotter mostly just disappears after this

movie. Now sure, he'd make a brief appearance in the subsequent series during the Sphere of

Influence episode, and it was noted in Legends continuity that Jabba actually sent him into

hiding to protect him from the Shadow Collective, but it's never actually explained what became of

the son of the Crime Lord in the years that followed the Clone Wars in the new canon

Did he unfortunately perish before the time of Jabba's death in Episode 6 Return of the Jedi

Is he still knocking about in the galaxy far, far away at the time of the Book of Boba Fett

Who knows, eh? But one thing is clear. This is a mystery-slash-clip-hanger that Disney just do not seem all that bothered about answering

What, but they now been a whopping 14 years since Rota's last unmemorable on-screen appearance

It's safe to assume at this point that Rota's unfinished story will probably stay that way then

Oh, and speaking of missing relatives... Number 3, what happened to Corky Kreeze

Debuting in the Academy episode during Star Wars The Clone Wars third season

Corki Kreese was the apparent nephew of Duchess of Mandalore Satine Kreese

the young man who looked to follow in his aunt's footsteps as a future leader

then would not show up again until season 5's The Lawless episode

where Corki, along with Bo-Katan Kreese, would attempt to save his aunt from Maul's shadow collective

However, they ultimately weren't able to keep Satine from being killed by Maul

It was all very sad. Corki, along with his cadet pals, were able to get away from Maul and his supercommandos, though, seemingly setting him up for another appearance in the galaxy far, far away further down the line

But as of recording the figure who many have theorized is actually the secret son of Obi Kenobi and Satine Kreeze has still not reappeared in the Star Wars universe Boo

Bo-Katan's comments of being the last of her line in the Mandalorian episode The Heiress

suggest that Corky will not be popping up in a New Republic era show in the coming years

However, it's still unclear how his story ends after the cliffhanger of him managing to evade the threat of Maul on his homeworld

And with each passing corkulous year since his last appearance in 2013, it's increasingly feeling like fans will never see or hear from this important member of House Kree's again

2. What happened to Vader after he was captured by Starkiller? Alongside the Knights of the Old Republic and Republic Commando, the Force Unleashed video games remain some of the most beloved ever to be played by fans of this galaxy far, far away

But it's also a series that ends on one hell of a cliffhanger

one that is still yet to be fully resolved many moons since the second installment's release

and now almost certainly never will. The Force Unleashed 2 contains two different conclusions

depending on which side of the Force you choose to walk on, of course. Should the player opt for the Dark Side ending, they will attempt to kill Darth Vader as Starkiller

only to then be killed themselves by a clone of, well, themselves

That ending isn't considered part of the Legends continuity, however. The light side ending, though? Well, that was

And it involved Vader instead being captured by Starkiller and the Rebel Alliance

He would then be transported to Dantooine, but little did Starkiller and Juno know that Boba Fett was actually following closely behind

It did seem as though a third Force Unleashed game would provide some answers to that wonderful cliffhanger ending

But the game was soon cancelled when Disney bought Lucasfilm and shut down LucasArts

LucasArts. Again, boo. Though the Force Unleashed project lead W. Hayden Blackman would actually

later explain that one idea he had for the third game would have seen Fett shoot down Starkiller

and Juno's ship, before Starkiller and Vader were then forced to team up to survive, fans still

never technically got to see an official answer to this cliffhanger come to life, and they will

now forever just have to imagine how that final game would have played out. And number one, so much

of the Acolyte. Without doubt, one of the most memorable pair of cliffhangers to pop up in a TV

series in quite some time. The latest Disney Plus live-action Star Wars series, The Acolyte

dropped two gigantic master bombshells in its final episode. Before the arrival of everyone's

favorite little green legend, Master Yoda, the being that would later go on to guide the eventual

Emperor himself would rear their head for the very first time in live-action, Darth Plagueis

Those cameos alone were enough to get folks rather excited about what a potential Season 2 of the somewhat divisive show could bring to the Star Wars party

But those enthralling appearances and so many of the other cliffhangers chucked out during the last episode of this first season

including what on earth happens to Osha, May and The Stranger going forward

will now be a collection of mysteries that will never be answered. The acolyte was ultimately cancelled due to poor viewership

despite some intriguing storyline developments and mesmerizing characters. So unless Disney are convinced to revive the scrapped show by those out there who enjoyed this first live-action look at the High Republic era

expect all of the aforementioned plot threads to permanently stay hanging off the edge of a cliff
