The 'Rogue One' prequel could bring in favorites from all parts of the larger franchise.
Tea Star Wars galaxy may be poised for a blast from the past in more way than one.
On Thursday, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced the forthcoming Disney + streaming service would feature a new Star Wars live-action series starring Diego Luna's spy rebel Cassian Andor, first introduced on the big screen in 2016's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The prospect of seeing Cassian Andor at the dawn of the Rebellion was something greeted with excitement by fans, not least for the opportunity to see more of one of the more compelling members of the Rebel Alliance in happier times.
The new series will not be a chance to see more Cassian Andor, however; by setting the show between Revenge of the Sith and In New Hope, all manner of cameos and guest appearances from existing Star Wars characters will be possible. Here are five faces of a galaxy far, far away that should show up on the new series, which joins on Favreau's The Mandalorian as the second Star Wars series coming for Disney +
K 2 SO
If any existing character from Star Wars Cassian, it's his surly robot companion played by Alan Tudyk in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Depending on what is happening in the world, it may be a problem for you, Cassian might have already been reprogrammed by the Imperial Security Droid (Odd Couple-esque working arrangement. Depending on the cost of animating the droid for every episode, using K-2 as a regular foil for Andor only makes sense; after all, it's not like, and the droid sidekick makes it more appealing, charming lead. More … would not it just be more Star Wars-y?
Ahsoka Tano
As a prequel to Rogue OneThe new series is likely to be set in the same time period as the animated Star Wars: Rebels, making all of that show up for grabs in what would be their live-action debut. Of the many characters in the show, one is particularly deserving of a cameo in Cassian's series: Ahsoka Tano, who actually debuted in the earlier Clone Wars animated series, and has been a firm fan-favorite ever since. Even better: In existing mythology, Ahsoka was a secret informant of the Rebellion, working under the Fulcrum codename. Does not that sound like someone an intelligence agent like Cassian would run into? For bonus points, it's worth remembering that Ahsoka is also a Jedi Padawan, and it could never hurt to have someone who knows how to use a lightsaber on the show.
Grand Admiral Thrawn
Originally part of the (now-expunged) Expanded Universe, Thrawn was brought into official Star Wars cannon in the Star Wars: Rebels animated series, as one of the few non-humans in a high-ranking position in the Empire – a sign of just how ruthless and evil he is. Another long-standing character beloved by fans, Thrawn has also appeared in two novels from Del Rey Books, but he still has never seen a live-action project. The Commander of the Seventh Fleet, he's powerful enough to act as a big bad guy in his life. lenses. But could he be too far up the Imperial food chain to make it into the show?
Darth Maul
The last-minute reveal at the end of Solo: A Star Wars Story has established that Darth Maul is the head of a criminal empire during the period before the original Star Wars movie, while the failure of Solo at the box office has meant that we're unlikely to see Surely this makes him – and the integrety of the Crimson Dawn syndicate – fair game to explore elsewhere, and where would a crime syndicate be thrive in? Those who've paid attention to the Star Wars: Rebels series know that he got to get to the world of Malachor Somehow; the only question is, how did it happen? If we're lucky, maybe we're going to have a break.
Nest Enfouse
Another dangling thread from Solo is one of the most successful games in the world, and one of the most popular games in the world. It's a gun that she gives the stolen coaxium to Saw Gerrera from Rogue One, but what happened to Nest and her fellow Cloud-Riders after that? There's a reason why nothing is said of Enfys Nest after the events of Solo – it was not created until the most recent movie – but it does not mean that it can not be told in the universe.
