* Your introduction to Kashyyyk has Cal and the team swooping in to help Saw Garerra and his Partisans repel the Empire's forces. Cal's idea to help even the odds? Hijack an AT-AT walker. What follows is a tense sequence of diving into the ocean to swim up alongside one of the walkers, [[ColossusClimb clambering up the thing using the moss and weeds clinging to its hull and legs]], slipping in through a hatch, and [[BattleshipRaid taking out the crew]]. Then Cal and BD-1 take control of the AT-AT, and you get to turn its [[MoreDakka massive guns]] on the Imperial army. And it is ''glorious.''

* Cere knighting Cal with Trilla's lightsaber right before the two of them storm the Fortress Inquisitorious.

*** Darth Vader, not one to be outdone, successfully holds back the awesome might of the ocean as the Jedi make their escape.

* Even as much of a BigLippedAligatorMoment as it is, no one can deny that the fighting waves of Monsters and Bounty Hunters as the Mongolian metal band [[Music/TheHu The Hu]] plays in the background isn't at the very least an awesome and fun experience.

*** It speaks even more to his recognition that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh-4TVXUFZE virtually every reaction]] to his mere ''breathing'' is enough to cause either a shocked look of realization, or just horrified screaming.

* The final battle of Meditation Training: after battling your way through Ninth Sister, Malicos and Trilla, you're faced with [[EvilDoppelganger Inquisitor Cal]], a brutal MirrorBoss who will push you to your utmost limits and ''is that'' ''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Sugaan Essena]]'' ''playing in the background?!''

* Merrin jumping in to help wail on Malicos; the fact she was a notably hostile antagonist before this point really emphasises the value of her allyship when Cal finally earns it. Further still, her help is actually useful to the player by depleting Malicos' stamina, making the fight really feel like a punchy team effort against an adversary that neither Cal nor Merrin were experienced enough to defeat on their own.

* Cal building his own lightsaber on Ilum is a suitably epic moment, especially since it comes moments after BD-1 pulls Cal back from the DespairEventHorizon. It's followed by Cal putting his new toy to use in an absolutely ''biblical'' rampage through a group of Imperials who picked the absolute worst time to visit Ilum. Even the sheer numbers of bad guys (NINE! [[EliteMooks Security Droids]]) do nothing to slow him down.

** Vader's entrance gives his famous appearance during the end of ''Film/RogueOne'' a run for it's money. To wit, he walks out of the mist, ominous music - from Revenge of the Sith, no less - playing the whole time, giving a dark undertone to the familiar VaderBreath that accompanies his footsteps as he prepares to showcase to the heroes exactly how ''screwed'' they are. To hammer in how hopeless this is from a gameplay perspective, he doesn't even have a ''health bar''.

** Let's talk about Vaders actual entrance, and "fight". Trilla suddenly goes stiff, unable to speak or move as he enters with his signature VaderBreath heralding him, which makes it clear he's force choking her. He jumps down from the platform, at which point both Cal and Cere fire up their lightsabers apparently on pure fear response. He cuts down Trilla, at which point ''Anakin's Dark Deeds'' to kick in. Cere attempts to buy Cal some time by fighting Vader, only for Vader ''casually'' force throw her off the platform. ''With a hand gesture''. ''Then'' the "fight" happens, which is Vader effortlessly parrying everything you throw at him. After a second he starts Force choking Cal, who attempts to pull a huge structure towards him, and Vader ''stops it while still choking Cal''. Vader throws Cal to the entrance of the arena, crushes the door as it's closing and starts ripping apart the entire arena and the bridge outside it with no effort. It was then that Cal decided to run rather than fight him. The entire scene just goes to show that despite his abilities being crippled by his injuries and {{Cyborg}} status, he is still one of the most powerful force users in the universe.

* Even if Trilla gets immediately curb stomped by Darth Vader, her FacingTheBulletsOneLiner is made of awesome. Just two words. [[LastRequest “Avenge us.”]]

* Cal's entire escape from Bracca can be considered this. He hasn't used the Force - or his lightsaber - in years, trying to stay under the radar. But the moment the Imperials kill his only friend right in front of him, ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge all bets are off]].'' To wit, he breaks out his lightsaber and immediately attacks the Second Sister - which gets him thrown over a cliff by the ninth Sister for his troubles - only to land on a train and promptly maraud his way through Imperial forces as he tries to find a way off-planet. This culminates in a duel between him and the Second Sister - one he walks away from, despite her having an edge over him, thanks to Cere and Greez flying to his rescue.

** Doubly at the very beginning of the mission. Seeing Republic LAAT/i dogfighting (and WINNING) against Imperial TIE fighters and making attack runs on Imperial AT-ATs, blue blaster bolts (a signature of Republic forces) impacting the AT-AT as Cal climbs it, gives the brief illusion of the Grand Army of the Republic itself fighting against the Empire.

* Doubles as a TearJerker, but Prauf's death during the opening sequence qualifies. The Second and Ninth Sisters have Cal and his fellow workers surrounded with Purge Troopers and are ordering the Jedi to step forward, lest the entire group face summary execution. Then Prauf declares it's time somebody said something and steps forward, and naturally, Cal begins to freak out. But does he sell Cal out to the Empire? No! Instead, he gives a blistering TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the Empire. It earns him a lightsaber to the chest, courtesy of the Second Sister, but it shows that you don't have to be a lightsaber-slinging badass to take a stand against the evil that is the Galactic Empire.

* In a way, the reveal that Cere was broken by her torture and gave up the location of her padawan is awesome, because the game all but straight up says she didn't break until Darth Vader himself took over her torture. It took the very own Right Hand of the Emperor to break Cere's will.

** In summary? Two Knights, one newly-minted and the other having only just restored her connection to the Force, held their own against (and successfully escaped from) Darth Vader ''in his prime''. Bad. Ass.

** It speaks to the power of both Vader's entrance [[TheDreaded and his overall pop-culture reputation]] that pretty much every Let's Player and streamer that plays this sequence doesn't even ''try'' to fight Vader before his scripted Force Choke.
