However, Toy Story 2 saw Zurg fighting a second Buzz who still thought he was the real Space Ranger of Star Command (which came with the Star Wars parody scene where Zurg revealed that he's Buzz's father). Zurg would later appear as a fellow toy seeking to destroy Buzz, being under the same disillusionment Buzz was once under, thinking he was the genuine scourge of the galaxy. In the previous Toy Story films, Zurg made his on-screen debut in Toy Story 2 in the film's opening sequence that revealed the Buzz Lightyear video game, seeing Emperor Zurg destroying Buzz due to Rex losing the level. Referenced in Buzz Lightyears's arrival to Andy's room in 1995's Toy Story, Buzz Lightyear's mission was to " protect the galaxy from the threat of invasion from the Evil Emperor Zurg." However, while Toy Story's Buzz soon realized that he was simply a toy based on the sci-fi hero Buzz Lightyear, Lightyear will now show the story of the "real" Buzz in the new prequel film, and it looks as though the "real" Zurg will be featured as well.
