For instance, the latter had once claimed that Zurg was building a super weapon capable of destroying a planet, similar to Darth Vader and his Death Star. Zurg was always a very obvious Darth Vader expy, with Toy Story constantly homaging Star Wars through both him and Buzz. Of course, this references The Empire Strikes Back, where Luke Skywalker discovers that Darth Vader is his father. Upon learning this, Zurg reveals the truth: he is Buzz Lightyear's father, a reality that sends the space ranger reeling in disbelief. Unfortunately for Buzz, the truth beneath the armor was even more harrowing than Zurg himself.īefore their climactic battle, Buzz was under the impression that Zurg had killed his father. With Zurg's gigantic, robotic armor and seemingly inhuman status, he would appear to be a perfect, if a bit generic, adversary for the over-the-top space hero.

A toy version of the dastardly figure appears toward the climax, with him and Buzz Lightyear finally facing each other as the film nears its end. Toy Story 2 finally showcased Zurg, a villain mentioned by Buzz Lightyear in the first movie.
