Qi’ra’s Star Wars future after Solo explained

Finishing what Darth Maul couldn’t

in War of the bounty huntersQi’ra became Lady Qi’ra, leading a reborn Crimson Dawn after The empire strikes back. Qi’ra restructured and greatly expanded Crimson Dawn after Darth Maul’s deathEmbedding agents across the galaxy. Additionally, she stole Han Solo in his carbonite prison from Boba Fett while he was en route to deliver him to Jabba the Hutt, auctioning off the smuggler in a master scheme to pit the Hutts and Empire against each other. Fat recaptured Salo and handed him over to Jabba, who brought in the smuggler Return of the Jedi.

Lady Qi’ra then moved on to the next phase of her plans with Soule’s Crimson ruleUsing her vast network of agents and assassins (including the Knights of Ren) in a campaign against Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, Want to cut off the head of the empire itself by destroying the Sith. Using her contacts to create mass chaos with assassination attempts and tricking rival crime syndicates into squabbling with each to win Palpatine’s favor, Qi’ra effectively destabilizes the order and control maintained by the Empire, including sending the Knights of Ren to rob the fortress of Dart. Vader himself.

The last chapter brought the culmination of Qi’ra’s plans with the Hidden Empire. After receiving an ancient artifact known as the Fermata Cage, Qi’ra seemingly hopes to unleash a Sith Lord against Palpatine and Vader, one who has been suspended in the artifact for centuries. In truth, the Fermata Cage was empty, allowing Qi’ra to spring her trap and successfully time lock Vader and Palpatine inside. However, the Knights of Ren fear Palpatine more than Ki’ra, and they chose to save the Sith. Having risked and lost everything in her goal to destroy the Sith, Kiera fled and disappeared in failure.

Qi’ra’s role in Star Wars Outlaws

Manipulating the Ashiga Clan

Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment Star Wars: Outlaws is also set between The empire strikes back And Return of the Jedi. The game follows the story of Canto Bight thief Kay Vess and her rise in the galactic underworld as she gains favor/makes enemies with various crime syndicates. This includes Crimson Dawn and some brief encounters with Lady Kira herself Star Wars: Outlaws. Taking place sometime after Qi’ra’s auction of Han Solo, Qi’ra met Qi’ra during Crimson Dawn’s efforts to destabilize the Ashiga Clan syndicate operating out of the icy mountain world of Kijimi.

The Ashiga clan’s queen sought to expand and align her syndicate with the empire in exchange for weapons contracts. However, Qi’ra and Crimson Dawn supported Krisk, the queen’s daughter who finally staged a coup to become the new queen. After being drawn into the conflict, Kay confronted Qi’ra after the takeover, deducing that all Crimson Dawn wanted was to sow chaos (likely part of the larger Syndicate war as seen in Crimson rule).

Claiming that her actions are all in the service of future galactic freedom, Qi’ra tells Kay that she will do whatever it takes to make freedom happen after her eyes are opened to those who are really pulling the strings across the galaxy.. This is obviously a reference to Maul, who told Qi’ra all about the Sith who secretly ruled the Empire and kept the galaxy oppressed. Likewise, Crimson Dawn’s attempts to move in on other syndicates’ operations and territories can be seen throughout. OutlawsMaintaining Qi’ra’s primary objective as established in the comics.

Why isn’t Qi’ra in the original trilogy?

While Marvel’s Star Wars Comics reveal that Qi’ra was alive during the time of the original trilogy and interacted with Han and Leia, her preferred method of handling matters of the shadows justifying her lack of an on-screen presence during the actual movies. Likewise, her failure and lack of resources after her own war explains her absence Return of the Jedi. However, The epilogue of Hidden Empire Confirms that she survived the dawn of the New Republic Era and the Empire’s fall.

Just like Keira moved on from Han Solo, it seems as if Han moved on from her before (or when) he met Leia. Likewise, the fall of Crimson Dawn and Kiera’s believed death help explain her absence and lack of evidence for her character. While Qi’ra’s career with Crimson Dawn still Solo: A Star Wars Story Is seemingly over in the comics, it is possible that she could return in the future Star Wars Project took place after Return of the Jedi.

Ki’ra didn’t kill Vader or the Emperor (but still important)

During the Crimson Dawn trilogy, Lady Kira interacted with Princess Leia, conceding that Han Solo was better off with Leia than with Kiera herself. She argued that Leia brings out the best in Han, while she would only bring out the worst. This could be seen as a way to justify what Han thinks of Leia as the love of his life instead of Kiera.therefore never never never never mention Star Wars Movies.

An epilogue scene to Hidden Empire revealed that Kiera was still alive at the time of Return of the JediAlthough she did not join in the celebrations of the emperor’s death. At this point in the timeline, she no longer has a power base; She knew that everything happened without her, and her games were at an end. It was a sad end for such an influential figure.

But it is important to do Kiera S Star Wars History still has a significant effect on the universe. Qi’ra’s work led to a massive upheaval to the criminal underworld, a chaos that kept the Empire busy, which in turn gave the Rebellion time to reform after the Battle of Hoth. Two of Qi’ra’s Crimson Dawn agents were even responsible for alerting the Rebellion to the existence of the second Death Star. For all of her failings, Lady Kira made a major impact on the galaxy and the events that followed from Solo: A Star Wars Story.
