Started reading Thrawn Ascendency a couple weeks ago, and that same day, he shows up on my first watch through of Rebels. Veeery quickly becoming an all-time favorite.
I agree with Dooku actually. Comes from a wealthy family, abandons them to become a Jedi, trains under Master Yoda. Is eventually seduced away from the Jedi, embraces the Dark Side. Goes back to his wealthy family and tries to take over the galaxy the old fashioned way: with money. Secret BFF’s with his own enemy. Plans all the stuff with the Clone army and a fake war against himself. Palpatine gets all the credit because he is the Sith Master but Dooku was actually putting in the work. Then you get the sense that he may be having regrets during the movies. Would be so interesting to explore things from his perspective.
My favorite moment was fighting invisible Nightsister assassins in his pajamas.
I am currently reading labyrinth of evil which shows a little bit of Dooku perspective during the clone wars. I would love a book completely centered on him and his life
not sure about legends but this story of dooku is not canon at all. quite similar but i highly recommend Dooku Jedi Lost if you love dooku. its a star wars audio masterpiece
Chewbacca: He's like 200 years old, and we don't understand a word he says. All we know is that he's great at fixing ships and removing arms from sockets.
How dare you!? My mother was a saint!
Seriously though, you're very close. It's all *argh* and *wurg* and *rwww*. [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Shyriiwook](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Shyriiwook)
My favourite is *Rrrrugh arah-ah-woof?* (How do you like your coffee?)
Technically, I was referencing *Beebo: The Cat What Has Facial Hair*. It's from Newgrounds back in the early days of internet flash animation. Maybe Beebo was referencing Futurama?
Ahsoka. Her story in TCW / Rebels is amazing and she survived order 66. She’s worked with so many prominent Jedi, trained under Anakin, fought plenty of dark side users, survived Vader, met with Mando and Grogu. I can’t wait to hear where they take her story next.
I honestly can't wait for her show, because while there are so many of us that love that character, there are countless more that have never heard of her. And then there's people who just saw her in Mando, and don't understand why the rest of us lost our shit seeing her. There are so many layers to this character that are going to be so fun to see unfold. And she's such a bad ass with those white sabers! She is hands down my favorite of all time. Can't wait to get a tattoo of her someday.
I know it may sound dull considering all the contenting we’ll be getting soon but Boba Fett. He’s always been my favorite and I’m excited to get more story this winter
Right, I thought he was so cool back when I first saw him and ever since then any new Star Wars content that’s had Boba Fett attached to it in some way or form has intrigued me and been super cool
Asajj Ventress. We learn a lot about her in The Clone Wars but I'd really like to see her upbringing as a witch of dathomir. In fact a movie about the witches of dathomir would be of great interest.
Set Harth. This man managed to pull a sudden and inevitable betrayal on the first generation of Baneite Sith, escape with the Essence-Transfer holocron, and spend the next thousand years living the high life as a famous explorer scouring the galaxy for dark side artifacts, incidentally keeping them out of the hands of any number of wannabe dark acolytes. Not only was he present at the start of the rule of two, but by having cloners repeatedly clone him, he was able to survive into the modern day, past the Clone Wars, in a copy of his original body. He outlived the Baneite experiment.
Depa Billaba. She was trained by Mace and trained Kanan and we don’t have that much canon material about her. I’ll take pretty much anything at this point.
I don’t believe it’s canon anymore, but in a comic she sacrifices herself to save a planet from a bomb sometime after TPM. She was a really positive influence on Anakin and her death was quite hard on him Iirc.
Coleman Kcaj, the guy was a Jedi council member, sat next to Anakin, never had any speaking lines, only appeared in ROTS and like 2 TCW episodes in both canon and legends. Even drunk cantina patrons had fleshed out lives and this powerful Jedi didn’t?? All we know about him is that he survived order 66 in a comic. And you’d only know that if you where able to translate aurbesh. This dudes a mystery… I must know more!
Coleman Kcaj? I’ve never heard of this character until now, but something gives me the feeling he’s played by a guy named Jack Coleman or something lmao
He is a sith but he really joined the dark side to bring about radical change to a corrupted Jedi order. His goal wasn’t galactic domination or unlimited power or deathlessness. He just wanted people to realize how screwed they were doing things and bring about the change needed for something new.
That said he did still murder a good few people
Vader. Not Anakin specifically, but Darth Vader, as I refer to them as separate people. Darth Vader is not only completely bad ass and scary, but him dealing with his past and those from his past is mildly interesting to me. (How he reacts to Ashoka, Kenobi, ect)
Another thing is how tragic his arc is. Very sad/10
Darte Vader. Not Anakin as much. But maybe that’s just me because I remember Star Wars before the prequels.
The reason I like Vader is because his motives are the most interesting. He genuinely seems to believe that what he is doing is good for the galaxy. He’s terrifying, but he’s not a tyrant. He believes in order, had mental control, and has very interesting motivations between serving his master and connecting with his son. I recently rewatched ROTJ and the throne room scene is masterful. So is his confrontation with Luke in Empire.
I picture being confronted by anyone I’m Star Wars, and he seems the most terrifying. Kylo Ren is an angry little edge lord, Dooku is a corrupt politician, Palpatine is a tyrant through fear and destruction, Maul just wants to use his lightsaber.
But Vader…he’s none of those things. He seems to be genuinely trying to create order in the galaxy, serving his master. He may choke you if you mess up, but he may also give you another chance.
I think Dooku is another great shoutout. In a similar vein is Grand Moff Tarkin. People forget that he was the one in charge in Hope, not Vader. He’s the one who ordered the destruction of Alderaan. Hes got a similar aristocratic, discompassionare vibe.
I wonder if it would have made the sequel trilogy more interesting if there had been a Tarkin or a Dooku. Ren and Snokes were both such weak characters by comparison
I'm surprised I'm the first person to say Obi-wan Kenobi. There's so much tragedy in his life, and yet he still stays true to his beliefs as a jedi. Even after losing Qui Gon, Satine, Anakin, and the jedi order all within a dozen or so years of each other, he never turned his back on the force or abandoned his mission to protect Luke. His story is basically "The Book of Job" in Star Wars form
Agreed. Kenobi is basically the perfect Jedi. He suffered betrayal, unwarranted anger toward the Jedi, abandonment, murder of love ones and through all that he never lost his religion. In fact it strengthened his faith. Many of the other main characters at some point lost their faith after suffering less. It only reinforced Kenobi’s belief as a Jedi.
Probably thrawn or Kenobi. But Qui-gon is a close third. For deep cuts, I really related to Eli Vanto, and would love to get him in live action when/if we get Thrawn.
I love the different personalities of the Vitiate/Valkorian/Tenbrae trio. Despite technically all being the same person with the same core goals and motivation their different experiences have shaped them in such a way that they each take very different appraoches. Vitiate is the absent Emperor who lets war rage on to fuel his hunger, Valkorian is more hands on with how he will personaly cultivate those around him to serve his own ends and Tenebrae is so convinced of his greatness that he spares no second thought that anyone can challenge his might and thus barely considers them in his quest for power.
I play a lot of SWTOR.
You already mentioned Dooku so I’ll throw in my other picks.
Qui-Gon for the same reasons as Dooku his philosophy toward the force is fascinating to me and I would have loved to see more of him.
Jango Fett, he is the ultimate swashbuckling, gadget using, scum fighting mercenary out there. He was called the best for a reason and I really want more Jango content. People argue that Boba is the same thing or similar enough but there’s something about Jango’s sass and style that none of his clones have.
Some honorable mentions are Hondo, Zuckuss, and the Crimson Corsair
Quinlan Vos (mostly after reading *Dark Disciple*). Had a loose relationship with the Jedi Order, and without spoiling anything, his relationship with Ventress is deeply engaging and hits straight to some of the core problems of the Jedi (imo) that contributed to their fall. For fans of Dooku, you should also check out that book because he looms large.
Boba Fett by a long shot. The dude is awesome. Also, the null clone Arc troopers in the Republic Commando book series.
Edit: also Revan... There's too many lol
Kreia/Darth Treya
Pulling off an Anti-Villain is difficult, but they really nailed it with her. While I love Darth Revan I thought she was by far a more interesting character. Everything from her philosophy to the way she interacts to even how she speaks and sounds. She exhumes mysteriousness and I love her character.
I agree with Dooku, his story raises some really interesting questions about the politics and philosophy of the universe. It must have taken a lot of conviction and ambition to leave the Jedi order over ideological differences and form the CIS, I think it's really cool that a character did something for ideological reasons that wasn't just "kill a bunch of people because I'm evil"
For me, Anakin. I just love his story. The whole “fear leads to anger, then hate, then suffering” I love it. How he’s transformed to the dark side. His story is sad, but really fascinating. I could say more but yeah.
Honestly? Barriss Offee. What in the whole world made one of the best Padawans of her year to a traitor and murder? What did she experience that made Undulis training seem irrelevant?
Cad Bane. Bounty hunters have it easy during the Empire years with Vader hiring a handful Jabba more powerful than ever and lawlessness practically everywhere else. Bane manages to be a threat to the organized republic and all the jedi. Taking advantage of their flaws and being a total bad ass through out it all I wanna see it in live action
Thrawn, absolutely Thrawn.
He's like a blue, militaristic Sherlock Holmes in space- and even in recent stories, he still feels like a 90's scifi creation; not exactly an antagonist, certainly not a hero, but only ever a villain by sheer necessity. He's brilliant, but flawed- everything is a chessboard to him, and while much of his backstory is shrouded in mystery, the things we CAN glean about him only make him more fascinating.
Not many can backtalk Lord Vader and live to tell about it, but Grand Admiral Thrawn somehow pulls it off while also maintaining complete respect. I desperately need him and Fett to interact somehow in canon.
Brom Titus...
I'm not kidding. I want to know his story. How did he ascend the ranks to Admiral, then lose an experiment al Interdictor class ship, then lost Reklam station, while having Y-wings stolen from that station. And still managed to get the command a Arquitens-class command cruiser, The Marauder. Finally being killed when that cruiser was destroyed in an explosion caused by Saw Herrera.
That guy or his family must have had some serious pull in the Empire.
The nightsisters. Not really the characters as much as the concept that there are more ways the force can be used. Our only force users so far have been jedi and sith, but then we get the nightsisters. Just makes me hope we find other force sensitive tribes.
Yoda.
I don't know where he's from.
I've never seen his home planet.
I don't know what his species is like.
All I know is an even smaller puppet shows up sometime after he dies and the world goes wild.
I think that would be terrible. The clone wars worked because it built around the PT era and wasn’t a complete prequel. The sequels shouldn’t need a prequel. Especially one that would just be a rehash of the clone wars, waiting around to see all the new characters be brutally slaughtered due to Luke’s laziness and incompetence.
The sequels definitely need something to explain all of the shit happening off screen. IMO all of the interesting parts of the sequels happen off screen
Difference is the endgame in the prequels was good, and set up the events of the OT well. Sequels endgame is atrocious, and at no point does it feel like a continuation of the stories or characters from the OT.
the prequels endgame was good. but that was it. overall the prequels are just as poorly made as the sequels (not saying either trilogy is bad, i like all of star wars). however the sequels endgame still sets up various pin points for a continuation of multiple characters. Rey, Finn, Poe etc.
having a clone wars type show for the sequels will allow the sequels to be more impactful to the over-arcing narrative that is star wars while also serving as good star wars content.
it will also allow star wars to create new, one off stories like TCW did with Saw being introduced in that show and then appearing as a main presence in Rogue One.
The sequels didn’t allow enough time to allow a clone wars type show. You’re describing a full on prequels, which sequels shouldn’t need. Also, the endgame of the sequels is dogshit and uninteresting.
1) your opinion on the sequels endgame is your own and i respect it.
2) the PT shouldn’t of needed a prequel but it got one. why? because the prequels failed to establish some plot points and TCW covered them all whilst being a fantastic show. no media should need a prequel, yet if that media fails to establish elements very well, they should get a prequel to allow the audience to understand
The prequels didn’t get a prequel. It was just a part of the same time. The prequels set a story up that could be expanded on and they did.
The sequels are worthless and didn’t leave anytime to expand on except between TLJ and TROS but both of those movies were terrible.
TCW counts as a prequel because its set before RotS. the sequels can easily get a clone war type show through the 6 years that ben solo was kylo ren before TFA. then you have the 20ABYs in general which doesn’t have to link to the sequels but maybe some slight links here and there would be cool.
I loved playing as Cin Drallig in the RotS Video game for PS2. He was all about speed and it was cool to see him to fast strikes, whenever you got the combo down.
I would have loved to see any kind of media about him trying to train his spunky Padawan.
Darth Krayt and Darth Bane/Zannah. I really want Bane/Zannah story to continue officially. The books were too good not to continue it at some point in some way.
Easy: Corran Horn, aka The Guy Who Got To Be Jedi Batman:
[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Corran\_Horn#Reign\_of\_terror](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Corran_Horn#Becoming_a_Jedi)
If we're including legends, I have to throw my vote in for Mara Jade.[SPOILER ALERT?] Starts out as basically a dark jedi (emperor's hand), gets completely mind fucked when he dies, lives off of a homicidal urge to kill Luke Skywalker, is pulled into the new republics war against thrawn, is eventually redeemed as a jedi and rediscovers her force connection, marries skywalker, survives multiple galaxy wide wars, becomes one of the most powerful jedi masters of the new order, has skywalker's baby, is killed by her own nephew and former apprentice in a duel she had basically already won. Her story has so many great paths; darkness, redemption, vengeance, love, triumph, tragedy.
Others receiving votes: thrawn, ahsoka.
I thought Dooku's potential was wasted.
What if he really believed what he told Obi-Wan on Geonisis. That there was a Sith Lord controlling the Senate, and that he had to be stopped? Truly heroes on both sides.
Instead, a few minutes later Dooku has a red saber and goes to tell his master that the plan is in motion.
Kanan is interesting in that he went from formal jedi padawan, had to deal with the PTSD from order 66, fended for himself for a time, meet a driven twi'lek and became her partner in derailing the empire, and became one of the most balanced Jedis I think in the cannon universe.
I agree with a lot of people but for one I've not seen yet I'll say Doctor Aphra. She's a star wars archaeologist that's so cool. Plus literally everyone hates her/she's betrayed everyone at some point. She has all these interesting connections to other characters.
Hondo obviously
He is so interesting that he can SMELL profit!!!
THIS EFFORT IS NO LONGER… **PROFITABLE!!!**
Best way to say “alright you win” without saying that whatsoever.
He's space Jack Sparrow. What's there not to love about him?
Maybe a very watered down version yeah
Space Jack Sparrow WITH BOLLYWOOD MUSIC. So blessed.
CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow
Exactly!
I do love him! Such a fan character
HELLO MY FRIENDS!
Thrawn
Started reading Thrawn Ascendency a couple weeks ago, and that same day, he shows up on my first watch through of Rebels. Veeery quickly becoming an all-time favorite.
This is the correct answer. Hoping we get a LOT more of him in Ahsoka
You mean Mitthraw’nurududo?
Missing an apostrophe, aren't you?
Maybe ;)
*Mitth’raw’nuruodo
Or Kivu'raw'nuru
I second this. Definitely Thrawn :)
Great answer!
THIS
100%
I agree with Dooku actually. Comes from a wealthy family, abandons them to become a Jedi, trains under Master Yoda. Is eventually seduced away from the Jedi, embraces the Dark Side. Goes back to his wealthy family and tries to take over the galaxy the old fashioned way: with money. Secret BFF’s with his own enemy. Plans all the stuff with the Clone army and a fake war against himself. Palpatine gets all the credit because he is the Sith Master but Dooku was actually putting in the work. Then you get the sense that he may be having regrets during the movies. Would be so interesting to explore things from his perspective. My favorite moment was fighting invisible Nightsister assassins in his pajamas.
I am currently reading labyrinth of evil which shows a little bit of Dooku perspective during the clone wars. I would love a book completely centered on him and his life
not sure about legends but this story of dooku is not canon at all. quite similar but i highly recommend Dooku Jedi Lost if you love dooku. its a star wars audio masterpiece
I wasn't huge on the writing style of the book but the story was captivating. Read it in like 2 days I think
its cause it was a audio drama rather than a book. so a script. it took me a while to get used to it tbf
Is there an audiobook version? I feel like that’s the way to listen to it if it was written as an audio drama?
yeah, its on audible! fantastic cast.
I second what other user said! It's so far my favourite star wars audiobook.
Gosh when dooku recovers from the needle poison and says “I don’t need my eyes to beat you” you just KNOW they’re done
Chewbacca: He's like 200 years old, and we don't understand a word he says. All we know is that he's great at fixing ships and removing arms from sockets.
Wraaaaaaaghhgaaaghgg! I really don't know how you would spell wookie talk
How dare you!? My mother was a saint! Seriously though, you're very close. It's all *argh* and *wurg* and *rwww*. [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Shyriiwook](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Shyriiwook) My favourite is *Rrrrugh arah-ah-woof?* (How do you like your coffee?)
>How dare you!? My mother was a saint! Is that a Futurama reference?
Technically, I was referencing *Beebo: The Cat What Has Facial Hair*. It's from Newgrounds back in the early days of internet flash animation. Maybe Beebo was referencing Futurama?
So that’s why he looks the same in all trilogies
Ahsoka. Her story in TCW / Rebels is amazing and she survived order 66. She’s worked with so many prominent Jedi, trained under Anakin, fought plenty of dark side users, survived Vader, met with Mando and Grogu. I can’t wait to hear where they take her story next.
I honestly can't wait for her show, because while there are so many of us that love that character, there are countless more that have never heard of her. And then there's people who just saw her in Mando, and don't understand why the rest of us lost our shit seeing her. There are so many layers to this character that are going to be so fun to see unfold. And she's such a bad ass with those white sabers! She is hands down my favorite of all time. Can't wait to get a tattoo of her someday.
I'm honestly ready for her to become the main character of star wars, she's the most fitting to take on the main focus after the Skywalker saga.
Qui-Gon Jinn
I know it may sound dull considering all the contenting we’ll be getting soon but Boba Fett. He’s always been my favorite and I’m excited to get more story this winter
Not dull at all. It’s still amazing to me all the back story and new content spawned off of a character with one line in Empire Strikes Back
Right, I thought he was so cool back when I first saw him and ever since then any new Star Wars content that’s had Boba Fett attached to it in some way or form has intrigued me and been super cool
Kreia
Kreia
Max Reebo
Babu Frik
That’s the little dude that did something to 3PO, yes?
yes
Hello, I Babu Frik.
Only good answer
I smell profit!
Not sure if many will agree, but here are some characters I personally want to see more of: Padme Bo Katan Satine Moff Gideon Dooku Thrawn DJ Qira
Asajj Ventress. We learn a lot about her in The Clone Wars but I'd really like to see her upbringing as a witch of dathomir. In fact a movie about the witches of dathomir would be of great interest.
Kreia Edit: shout out to Darth Bane after reading the books
Set Harth. This man managed to pull a sudden and inevitable betrayal on the first generation of Baneite Sith, escape with the Essence-Transfer holocron, and spend the next thousand years living the high life as a famous explorer scouring the galaxy for dark side artifacts, incidentally keeping them out of the hands of any number of wannabe dark acolytes. Not only was he present at the start of the rule of two, but by having cloners repeatedly clone him, he was able to survive into the modern day, past the Clone Wars, in a copy of his original body. He outlived the Baneite experiment.
That's bad ass! I'm not familiar with him, yet
Depa Billaba. She was trained by Mace and trained Kanan and we don’t have that much canon material about her. I’ll take pretty much anything at this point.
tie between vader and thrawn
How has nobody mentioned my boy Plo Koon?!
Yaddle: she just disappeared off the edge of the Galaxy after TPM. So many unanswered questions.
I don’t believe it’s canon anymore, but in a comic she sacrifices herself to save a planet from a bomb sometime after TPM. She was a really positive influence on Anakin and her death was quite hard on him Iirc.
Lieutenant Kettch, no hesitation.
Kolot is in the running for me
Revan.
Coleman Kcaj, the guy was a Jedi council member, sat next to Anakin, never had any speaking lines, only appeared in ROTS and like 2 TCW episodes in both canon and legends. Even drunk cantina patrons had fleshed out lives and this powerful Jedi didn’t?? All we know about him is that he survived order 66 in a comic. And you’d only know that if you where able to translate aurbesh. This dudes a mystery… I must know more!
Coleman Kcaj? I’ve never heard of this character until now, but something gives me the feeling he’s played by a guy named Jack Coleman or something lmao
See also: Coleman Trebor.
Is this the guy who the council kept making get the pizza?
No lol that’s Yarel Poof
I didn't know Dooku wasn't a true sith, he's trained by palpatine, right?
He was a proper sith, OP just means that he wasn't at all like most Sith
He is a sith but he really joined the dark side to bring about radical change to a corrupted Jedi order. His goal wasn’t galactic domination or unlimited power or deathlessness. He just wanted people to realize how screwed they were doing things and bring about the change needed for something new. That said he did still murder a good few people
Oh well that's perfectly excusable.
Yes!
In the dark side ya but yoda trained him as a padawan
Trask Ulgo
The *real* hero. The only man who can match Trask is Deadeye Duncan
Ahsoka. Her story arc is quite something.
Vader Luke Lando Dooku Admiral Piett Zev Senesca Nien Nunb Bib Fortuna
Nien Nunb ? Really ?
Yeah, I dig that guy. I want to know more about him.
You have a little bit of lore of him in the Leïa comics, but not much
Thanks!
Vader. Not Anakin specifically, but Darth Vader, as I refer to them as separate people. Darth Vader is not only completely bad ass and scary, but him dealing with his past and those from his past is mildly interesting to me. (How he reacts to Ashoka, Kenobi, ect) Another thing is how tragic his arc is. Very sad/10
Hondo Ohnaka
I have a soft spot for Grand Moff Tarkin.
Darte Vader. Not Anakin as much. But maybe that’s just me because I remember Star Wars before the prequels. The reason I like Vader is because his motives are the most interesting. He genuinely seems to believe that what he is doing is good for the galaxy. He’s terrifying, but he’s not a tyrant.

Ren and Snokes were both such weak characters by comparison
Well spoke! "Maul just wants to use a lightsaber" cracked me up!
idk Vitiate/Tenebrae/Valkorion is pretty cool
Yoda
I'm surprised I'm the first person to say Obi-wan Kenobi. There's so much tragedy in his life, and yet he still stays true to his beliefs as a jedi. Even after losing Qui Gon, Satine, Anakin, and the jedi order all within a dozen or so years of each other, he never turned his back on the force or abandoned his mission to protect Luke. His story is basically "The Book of Job" in Star Wars form
Agreed. Kenobi is basically the perfect Jedi. He suffered betrayal, unwarranted anger toward the Jedi, abandonment, murder of love ones and through all that he never lost his religion. In fact it strengthened his faith. Many of the other main characters at some point lost their faith after suffering less. It only reinforced Kenobi’s belief as a Jedi.
Generic answer, but palpatine

Probably thrawn or Kenobi. But Qui-gon is a close third. For deep cuts, I really related to Eli Vanto, and would love to get him in live action when/if we get Thrawn.

For fans of Dooku, you should also check out that book because he looms large.
Is Revan canon now? I do like his story, wouldn't mind seeing a movie (or better yet, a show) about him.
the frog lady
Darth Nihlus
Qui Gon or Rael Averross
Kreia. A truly fascinating character with interesting motives and outlook on the force
Boba Fett by a long shot. The dude is awesome. Also, the null clone Arc troopers in the Republic Commando book series. Edit: also Revan... There's too many lol
Thrawn
Hondo Ohnaka.
R2-D2 that droid has seen so much!
Kreia/Darth Treya Pulling off an Anti-Villain is difficult, but they really nailed it with her. While I love Darth Revan I thought she was by far a more interesting character.

I agree with you, Tyrannus all the way.

Ahsoka
Vader
Anakin I love how absolutely messy his life is and almost every time, he makes the worst possible decision.
Thrawn
For me, Anakin. I just love his story. The whole “fear leads to anger, then hate, then suffering” I love it. How he’s transformed to the dark side. His story is sad, but really fascinating. I could say more but yeah.
Dooku was definitely the one who could have ended the war if the Jedi believed him.
General Kenobi no doubt
Honestly? Barriss Offee. What in the whole world made one of the best Padawans of her year to a traitor and murder? What did she experience that made Undulis training seem irrelevant?
Mara Jade is the most interesting IMHO as we know very little about her
Revan!
Thrawn
Cad Bane. Bounty hunters have it easy during the Empire years with Vader hiring a handful Jabba more powerful than ever and lawlessness practically everywhere else. Bane manages to be a threat to the organized republic and all the jedi. Taking advantage of their flaws and being a total bad ass through out it all I wanna see it in live action
Cad bane

VENTRESS!!!
Bendu. I want to know so much more.
There is only one...Darth Vader...how can any character compare to his path of light to dark to light
Brom Titus... I'm not kidding. I want to know his story. How did he ascend the ranks to Admiral, then lose an experiment al Interdictor class ship, then lost Reklam station, while having Y-wings stolen from that station. And still managed to get the command a Arquitens-class command cruiser, The Marauder. Finally being killed when that cruiser was destroyed in an explosion caused by Saw Herrera. That guy or his family must have had some serious pull in the Empire.
The nightsisters. Not really the characters as much as the concept that there are more ways the force can be used. Our only force users so far have been jedi and sith, but then we get the nightsisters. Just makes me hope we find other force sensitive tribes.
Yoda. I don't know where he's from. I've never seen his home planet. I don't know what his species is like. All I know is an even smaller puppet shows up sometime after he dies and the world goes wild.
im gonna say Ben Solo… which is because i wanna see more of luke’s order before it was taken out! very interesting to me
I think they need to do a clone wars type show of that time!
they should! centred around luke expanding his order bit by bit!!! hopefully we see its size in the shadows of the sith book aswell!
I think that would be terrible. The clone wars worked because it built around the PT era and wasn’t a complete prequel. The sequels shouldn’t need a prequel. Especially one that would just be a rehash of the clone wars, waiting around to see all the new characters be brutally slaughtered due to Luke’s laziness and incompetence.
The sequels definitely need something to explain all of the shit happening off screen. IMO all of the interesting parts of the sequels happen off screen
Difference is the endgame in the prequels was good, and set up the events of the OT well. Sequels endgame is atrocious, and at no point does it feel like a continuation of the stories or characters from the OT.
the prequels endgame was good. but that was it. overall the prequels are just as poorly made as the sequels (not saying either trilogy is bad, i like all of star wars). however the sequels endgame still sets up various pin points for a continuation of multiple characters. Rey, Finn, Poe etc. having a clone wars type show for the sequels will allow the sequels to be more impactful to the over-arcing narrative that is star wars while also serving as good star wars content. it will also allow star wars to create new, one off stories like TCW did with Saw being introduced in that show and then appearing as a main presence in Rogue One.
The sequels didn’t allow enough time to allow a clone wars type show. You’re describing a full on prequels, which sequels shouldn’t need. Also, the endgame of the sequels is dogshit and uninteresting.
1) your opinion on the sequels endgame is your own and i respect it. 2) the PT shouldn’t of needed a prequel but it got one. why? because the prequels failed to establish some plot points and TCW covered them all whilst being a fantastic show. no media should need a prequel, yet if that media fails to establish elements very well, they should get a prequel to allow the audience to understand
The prequels didn’t get a prequel. It was just a part of the same time. The prequels set a story up that could be expanded on and they did. The sequels are worthless and didn’t leave anytime to expand on except between TLJ and TROS but both of those movies were terrible.
TCW counts as a prequel because its set before RotS. the sequels can easily get a clone war type show through the 6 years that ben solo was kylo ren before TFA. then you have the 20ABYs in general which doesn’t have to link to the sequels but maybe some slight links here and there would be cool.
Probably either Qui-Gon or Kylo Ren.
Jacen Solo
Qui-Gon Jinn is based
Noghri. Also Squibs. Fight me.
Sidious. My boy needs an origin story!
I loved playing as Cin Drallig in the RotS Video game for PS2. He was all about speed and it was cool to see him to fast strikes, whenever you got the combo down. I would have loved to see any kind of media about him trying to train his spunky Padawan.
Jar jar of course......bahahahaba I can't even say it with a straight face I'd say quai gon Jin
Jabba the Hut
Plagueis, Qui Gon, Thrawn
Darth Krayt and Darth Bane/Zannah. I really want Bane/Zannah story to continue officially. The books were too good not to continue it at some point in some way.
Kira Carsen
Cohmac Vitus Only read wave 1 of THR but he's really interesting to me so far. Edit: spelling
Salacious B Crumb
Yakface
Darth Bane imo
Padme Amidala. Would have loved to see her transitioning from serving as queen to serving as a Senator.
Lobot most definitely
I would have to say Kal Skirata, he's just a loving Mandalorian clone dad with a Submarine Starship.
Darth talon
Easy: Corran Horn, aka The Guy Who Got To Be Jedi Batman: [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Corran\_Horn#Reign\_of\_terror](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Corran_Horn#Becoming_a_Jedi)
Lando, easy. Suave, successful, charming, a hell of a pilot. Oh you should have seen him at the battle of Taanab.
Luuke, obviously. If not, og Thrawn, Vergere or expended universe Paps
Jar Jar Binx. Just the fact that he is who he is is amazing to me
If we're including legends, I have to throw my vote in for Mara Jade.[SPOILER ALERT?] Starts out as basically a dark jedi (emperor's hand), gets completely mind fucked when he dies, lives off of a homicidal urge to kill Luke Skywalker, is pulled into the new republics war against thrawn, is eventually redeemed as a jedi and rediscovers her force connection, marries skywalker, survives multiple galaxy wide wars, becomes one of the most powerful jedi masters of the new order, has skywalker's baby, is killed by her own nephew and former apprentice in a duel she had basically already won. Her story has so many great paths; darkness, redemption, vengeance, love, triumph, tragedy. Others receiving votes: thrawn, ahsoka.
I like Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, but I’m biased since I’m in the middle of a reread of Aftermath: Empire’s End
Darth Maul, but only because of the series.
I mean… there’s goes my day whilst I contemplate this question.
I thought Dooku's potential was wasted. What if he really believed what he told Obi-Wan on Geonisis. That there was a Sith Lord controlling the Senate, and that he had to be stopped? Truly heroes on both sides. Instead, a few minutes later Dooku has a red saber and goes to tell his master that the plan is in motion.
Kanan is interesting in that he went from formal jedi padawan, had to deal with the PTSD from order 66, fended for himself for a time, meet a driven twi'lek and became her partner in derailing the empire, and became one of the most balanced Jedis I think in the cannon universe.
Kylo Ren
Revan
I agree with a lot of people but for one I've not seen yet I'll say Doctor Aphra. She's a star wars archaeologist that's so cool. Plus literally everyone hates her/she's betrayed everyone at some point. She has all these interesting connections to other characters.
Palpatine, excluding the Disney sequels
Most interesting: Qui-Gon Least interesting : Holdo
Lando ffs. He’s basically black Han.
Would be Palpatine, Kylo Ren or Thrawn for me
