The Epic Deaths and Possible Returns in Rebel Moon Part 1

The Tragic Deaths

Rebel Moon: Part 1 - A Child of Fire set up plenty of storylines that will need to be developed in Rebel Moon - Part 2: The Scargiver, but it also concluded many with the death of various central characters. Rebel Moon: Part 1 - A Child of Fire already hinted at Kora’s centrality to the story with her role in the farming settlement on Veldt, where her contributions were not overlooked.

However, her Imperium backstory guaranteed that revealing her fighting abilities would have brought death and the fight to Veldt, and Rebel Moon: Part 1 - A Child of Fire’s events proved that. From the Imperium soldiers who revealed Kora’s most exceptional fighting abilities once she killed them to protect Sam, to the Imperium’s central figures who had died before the events of Rebel Moon: Part 1 - A Child of Fire, the Netflix film included plenty of dramatic deaths.

Most of the deaths in Rebel Moon: Part 1 - A Child of Fire were seemingly final. Still, that doesn’t mean that many of the characters part of the Motherworld’s royal bloodline won’t reappear in Rebel Moon’s future installments, especially considering that their deaths started everything and happened five years before the events in Rebel Moon: Part 1 - A Child of Fire.

The Fallen Heroes

Sindri and Sif were the leaders of the farming community on Veldt that Kora almost considered her home at the beginning of Rebel Moon: Part 1 - A Child of Fire. Their deaths at the hands of Admiral Atticus Noble not only established him as a vicious villain but also gave reason to Kora and her adoptive father Hagen to entertain the possibility of joining the rebellion against the Imperium, something that Kora never wanted because she was hiding from the Imperium.

While Sindri and Sif’s importance to the people of Veldt was evident, they’ll unlikely return in future installments as they fulfilled their role of kickstarting Kora’s journey.

The intentions of Marcus, Faunus, and the Imperium forces on Veldt against Sam were made clear as soon as they started settling in the farming community. However, Kora abandoning her escape to stop their raping of Sam also had a hidden meaning. By standing up for Sam, Kora revealed her fighting skills but also put a target on Veldt, as whenever Noble returned, he would have known about it, annihilating all settlements on Veldt.

The Heart-Wrenching Sacrifices

Kora’s dark Rebel Moon backstory saw Balisarius kidnap her when she was only 9 years old after he slaughtered her family, before turning her into one of the best fighters in the Imperium elite guard. While Rebel Moon: Part 1 - A Child of Fire never showed Kora’s biological family onscreen, their deaths deeply impacted Kora, as the Imperium’s conquest of her world essentially removed her from everything she knew only to turn her into a war machine that did their bidding, slaughtering people on their behalf.

Rebel Moon - Part 2: The Scargiver’s name hints it will reveal more about Kora’s backstory, thus making Kora’s family’s appearance possible onscreen.
