Tom Bacon is Head of Screen Rant's Star Wars coverage. Although he's now dedicated to Star Wars content, he's a lifelong fan of several other major franchises including Doctor Who and Marvel. You can find him on Twitter @TomABacon.
Most viewers think of Star Wars as a live-action movie and TV franchise, but there are so many characters from other mediums who have yet to appear in that form. Star Wars has always been a transmedia franchise, with the first official tie-ins published before A New Hope had even released. This year saw Jude Law cast as Crimson Jack, one of the first characters from the old Star Wars Expanded Universe - now making his way into live-action.
Jonny Coyne is appearing in The Mandalorian & Grogu as an Imperial Warlord, reprising a role he played in The Mandalorian season 4. Although the character is currently unnamed, he's being described using Zsinj's familiar title, and his dialogue hinted at tactics that sound just like those Zsinj employed in Legends. It's hardly a stretch to imagine Coyne is in fact playing the canon version of Warlord Zsing, making this iconic character the villain of the upcoming Star Wars movie.
The High Republic is unparalleled in the history of the Star Wars franchise. It's an incredible transmedia story told in novels, comics, audiobooks, and even mangas; it's introduced a whole new era in Star Wars history, one teased in The Acolyte but still really unexplored in live-action. It would be wonderful to see Lucasfilm adapt stories from this era into a medium that would be seen by so many more people. That essentially requires Marchion Ro.
7 Mara Jade Luke Skywalker's wife began as the Emperor's Hand Close Some readers may be surprised to see me include Mara Jade in this list.
5 Darth Krayt A truly terrifying Sith Lord Close George Lucas envisioned Darth Maul as the villain of his sequel trilogy, and Disney came up with Kylo Ren. Legends' own ultimate future villain was Darth Krayt, a fallen Jedi whose life parallels that of Luke Skywalker in chilling ways. Born A'Sharad Hett, he served on the front lines of the Clone Wars, and was one of the few Order 66 survivors.
Exar Kun is confirmed to have existed in canon . What's more, Adam Christopher's Shadow of the Sith saw Luke confront a similar Sith spirit. I'd love to see Exar Kun explored in more detail, going up against Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Order in live-action.
