RELATED: Forget Revenge of the Sith, Rise of Skywalker Is Star Wars' Darkest Film When the player goes back to their reality, they open their eyes to a clear, luminous Mustafar sky, and a cooling ground where only rivulets of lava flow, instead of the angry rivers of flowing lava. This is a vision of the future, but these trees look remarkably like the ones in Kylo Ren's opening battle scene in The Rise of Skywalker. In the final animated sequence, Lord Corvax gives his thanks to the player character, as sparks of neon light land into the lava ground, take root and start to grow into dark and slender trees - Mustafar beginning to heal. The player, with the help of Lord Corvax's time-stopping abilities, uses an ancient lightsword to pierce the Bright Star, shattering it and releasing both Lord Corvax's spirit into the Great Beyond and the Life Force that had been stagnating into Mustafar. He knows perfectly well that the act would kill everything and everyone on the planet, and also acknowledges that Mustafar's Life Force might not be enough to resurrect Padmé - but he's willing to drain the Life Force of the entire galaxy if necessary. In the game, Darth Vader wants to find the Bright Star to finish what Lady Corvax started, and bring Padmé back from the dead. (The Visual Dictionary specifies that Lady Corvax's actions pushed Mustafar from its original orbit, causing the cataclysm.) While she was able to open a portal that led beyond the Veil, Lord Corvax's spirit was trapped between the worlds, and the act transformed Mustafar into the fiery hell seen in Revenge of the Sith. Then, Lord Corvax died, and his wife, Lady Corvax, stole the Bright Star and reverse-engineered it so that it would harness the Life-Force of the entire planet in a desperate attempt to resurrect her husband. The explanation can be found in the canonical VR game Vader Immortal, in which the player learns Mustafar was once a garden world, balanced through the power of the Bright Star, a massive kyber crystal.

In that case, why does the battlefield have trees? The last time we saw Mustafar on the big screen, its ground was covered with lava, not greenery.
