The whole "Imperial defector" thing.

While of course this was present a bit in the old EU (Indeed, it's implied that several Rebel brass such as Dodonna and Madine were former Imperials, and Bigg's deleted scenes also had him defecting, and some popular EU characters such as Kyle Katarn and Tycho also had Imperial roots) it seems to show up a lot more in Disney's Star Wars.

Finn of course being the most famous example, but film-wise we've also had Bodhi Rook, Galen and (sort of) Han. (Although to be fair Han's imperial past was something Lucas had in mind from day one)


Rebels did with this Wren (well, her past) Kallus, and Wedge.

It's pretty much the entire plot of Battlefront II's single player campaign.


....and now this.
