I would also like to add Agent Kallus as an honorable mention. He was an ISB officer and therefore knew how the ISB worked, which greatly helped the rebels evade the ISB

0:17. Defecating during the empire’s reign was truly a unique, unrivaled experience that would never be experienced again in the entirety of galactic history 🚽🚽🚽

They woke up and asked “are we the baddies?” Before a collective galactic “yes” could be heard

Agent Kallus from Rebels wasn’t the most important defector, but he had a great redemption arc. He and the Empire wiped out most of the Lasat people. When Zeb, a Lasat Rebel, helped Agent Kallus survive after the two crashed on an icy moon, he started to have his doubts about the Empire. He would then become a Rebel spy, and eventually defect from the Empire.

Not sure I'd call Rex an imperial defector, since when he detected the senate speech given by Palpatine didn't happened yet.

I'd like to make an a argument that Organa and Mothma aren't defectors since they were against Palpatine before the empire was created. How can they defect if they were never loyal in the first place?

I wonder if there are defectors from the Rebel Alliance joining the Empire and seemingly see it as the winning team or realize it's a futile struggle from the beginning.

Sabine Wren defected and helped liberate an entire planet from the Empire... before the battle of yavin.... thus showing the galaxy that the empire could be defeated.

Hello Generation Tech:
I suspect that Bale Organa had a far greater connection to the Jedi that previously known.
During the Clone's siege of the Jedi Temple, Bale was trying to help a young Padawan escape. But when the clone troopers killed him, Bale was visibly distraught.
I hav after postulated that the young Padawan was a possible relative: son or nephew of Bale Organa. That is why the boy's death affected him so much.

The one thing that irritated me storywise in Rogue One was how the Rebel Council spat out the words "Imperial Pilot, Imperial Scientist" and "Criminal" in regards to Bohdi, Galen Erso, and Jyn (respectively). They were all at the very least Imperial citizens, some I imagine were Imperial Senators, and all of them would've been regarded as criminals in the eyes of the Empire. I wish a character in that room had made that connection it would've made that scene more thoughtful.

I like the list, however I'd say that there is an argument that Bail Organa did not defect from the Empire as it seems more that he never really joined the Empire in the first place. There can be no doubt that he did not agree/vote in favor of the formation of the Empire. In fact, if remembered, Bail Organa was a candidate for Chancellor of the Republic Senate so there is no doubt he did not even vote for Palpatine to that office. As pointed out, Bail Organa was just playing the part of loyal Imperial Senator, but really, he never, not from Order 66 before or after, actually agreed to being a part of the Empire.

Could Vader be classed as a defector? After all he did have a rather big influence on the fall of the Empire.

You should talk about the Rebel Alliance’s Fulcrum operatives if you haven’t already

If hardly call some of them defectors. Leia, Bail Organa, Rex, Han Solo we're never onboard with the empire in the first place. Han and Rex are more deserters, Bail and Leia spies pretty much from that beginning

Alan, when you mentioned the clones are slave soldiers, what is going to happen if they did what the Mamluks did? You know, doing basically what led to the rise of the Mamluk Sultanates like the ones based in Cairo and Delhi.

And between the Mamluks and the Janissaries, which one the clone troopers are more similar with?

If i had to defect from the empire i would just get assigned to some unimportant backwater world to work there instead thats my defecting because if the empire did fall i could eaiserly just lose the uniform and fall into civilian life and when the empire won I could just keep working on the planet till death came for me.
