Now that this is canon, though, we have to see how Dengar turned himself into a monstrous cyborg in some future Star Wars media. I am your father.' Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker src Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, marketed as simply The Empire Strikes Back, is a 1980 film directed by Irvin Kershner and written by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan from a story by George Lucas. A stunning revelationand a seeming life-or-death duel with Darth Vaderawait. Little does Luke know that all his Jedi training will be called upon so soon. In a book that’s filled with revelatory facts that weren’t actually clarified on screen in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, like Jannah being Lando’s daughter, that Palpatine was a clone and even the names of the Knights of Ren, this bizarre biography of Dengar/Rothgar Deng still manages to be the most surprising. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) journeys to the mysterious, marshy planet of Dagobah, where the wise Jedi Master Yoda teaches the young hero the ways of the Force. As the Visual Dictionary succinctly puts it, “poor decision making has led to his ghastly appearance.” The character description calls him an “old and experienced Corelian bounty hunter” who is presumed to be living “under an alias.” The reason for his much changed physical form is because he’s been “subjecting himself to cybernetic replacements” at “black-market surgical clinics” in a bid to make himself immortal. The tie-in book falls short of spelling out the connection, but Rothgar Deng, as he’s labelled, is heavily implied to be Dengar.
