Then, the sound of an activating lightsaber is heard, and the game returns to the main menu. Unfortunately, this Easter egg cannot be viewed again when replaying the final level.
Continuity
Within the game, the Quarren informant is identified as working for the Coruscant Guard. However, given the game's placement in the timeline, it's possible that it was referring to the Senate Guard. This has yet to be confirmed by an official source. If the player allows an alarm to be triggered, the Black Heth will execute the informant.
