Biography

Early Years

Sometime after Phineas was born, Candace decided to join the Galactic Empire forces, as she hated the Rebels who mess the law and order. As such, she becomes a Stormtrooper alongside Buford and Baljeet. However, most of the time, they were asked by their commander to do tedious tasks such as to buy socks for Darth Vader, though it was obvious that she has big potential as a soldier.

"Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars"

Candace and her posse first appear when they saw the escaping C-3PO and R2-D2 and then decided to follow them on the another escape pod to land in Tatooine. However, their commander gets in their way and tells them to find some socks for Darth Vader. Even when Candace informed her commander that she has found the droids' tracks in Tatooine, the commander ignores her and demands her to go to Mos Eisley to buy some socks. However, while buying the socks, Candace spotted Phineas and Ferb with the Death Star's plans, and with her helpers, started to chase them. As they escaped with Isabella, Candace tried to blast them from a huge cannon, but missed. She then gave her commander the ordered bag with socks. However, instead of going to Death Star on a shuttle (as the commander claimed it was full), she was ordered to go on a bus pod along with her posse. At that time, Candace and her posse start to become very frustrated with their commander making up excuses.

On the way to Death Star, it was revealed, that Buford accidentally switched up with the bags, and the one given to the commander contained Buford's hoagie, resulting a furious Vader to choke the commander to death as punishment. The hoagie would be thrown away and picked up by Darthenshmirtz, who is planning to use his Sith-inator to become Force-sensitive. After arriving to the Death Star and got alarmed about Han Solo's actions, she tries to do her best, but instead was stayed to protect the post of prison block.

As Candace tried to entertain herself with her helmet, Phineas and Isabella got in, with Candace started to chase them. However, she slips and dangles for her life on a platform. She prayed for her life and Phineas decided to save her, to Candace's surprise. Surprised by the Rebel action, she started to think about what is good, and alongside with her henchmen, decided to become good, as well.

In return, Candace saved Phineas' life while he was battling against Darth Ferb. However, she failed in completely stopping Darth Ferb, but this also created a distraction, leading to Darth Ferb's defeat, as well as Darthenshmirtz's, with the activation of the self-destruction function of the Sith-inator. As Perry the Rebelpus attempts to get the carbonite-trapped Darthenshmirtz into custody (though this failed when Darthenshmirtz manages to escape and evade in an escape pod), the kids tried to escape on the bus pod, but is flew off without them. Then, Candace recognized Phineas as her brother and meet Ferb as her step-brother, gladly accepting them. Luckily, they were saved by the arrival of Isabella before the Death Star explodes. At the end, Candace, Buford, and Baljeet attended the Rebel celebration of the Death Star's destruction.

Trivia

• Stormtrooper Candace is the third evil counterpart of Candace after Control Freak and Busting Candace.
  • However, she is genuinely the most sympathetic among them, as the other two are complete psychopaths (to which Busting Candace even had a severe villainous breakdown at one point).
  • Alongside what's above, Stormtrooper Candace is the first evil Candace who doesn't try to bust her brothers (partially because she didn't even knew about them at first), although she actually did attempt to kill them by using gun shots and a cannon blast before.
• Stormtrooper Candace's redemption during the climax of "Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars" is somewhat reminiscent to that of Darth Vader's own redemption from the actual Star Wars franchise (specifically, in Return of the Jedi), albeit in different ways:
  • Her being saved by Phineas from her potential fall (despite their opposing positions during that moment) is equivalent to when Luke spared Vader's life after their second lightsaber duel.
  • Her helping Phineas after he saved her from falling is equivalent to that of Vader saving his son Luke from being completely killed by Emperor Palpatine.
  • Her finding out that Phineas is her long-lost brother is equivalent to that of Vader accepting the fact that Luke really is his long-lost son (even though the former case could also be more easily interpreted as referencing Luke and Leia Organa's shared familial realization towards each other, specifically as siblings).
