20 best Star Wars characters who've never appeared on the big screen

The Star Wars galaxy is so much bigger than just the movies. Here are 20 of the best SW characters who've never appeared on the big screen...yet. rnIf you've watched all nine mainline Star Wars movies, plus side stories Rogue One and Solo , then you’ve heard all about Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Princes Leia, Jar Jar Binks...you know, the usual suspects. However, there are many other Star Wars characters who have never made it to the big screen who are worth knowing, too.rnrnWe could easily spend days or even weeks talking about the many Star Wars characters featured in TV shows, comics, games, books and more. This is a vast universe of people, and while not all of them are going to make it to the big screen, some will...and a few will even deserve it. But for whatever reason it hasn't happened...yet. To honor these undersung figures, we're highlighting 20 of the most memorable, interesting figures from the Star Wars canon who still haven't shown up on the big screen.rnrnBefore we dive into the list, let’s go over a couple of ground rules. First, to be eligible, characters cannot have not appeared in any Star Wars movies released into theaters as of 2020. This includes voice-only roles as well. So I'm sorry, Ashoka Tano fans, but everyone's favorite Jedi-in-training will not be showing up, since we heard her voice in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker . rnrnBoth "Legends" and "Canon" material is acceptable. If you're unfamiliar with the difference , Legends is the Star Wars material created by George Lucas and Canon material is created by Disney. Since Disney bought the rights to Star Wars in 2012, most of the Legends material was transferred and is now considered Canon, but not all. The material that did not make it across is still widely available, and there are lots of characters in there worthy of a good movie.rnrnAnd that’s it! Let’s kick things off with a character you may already be familiar with. He’s blue-skinned, red-eyed, and a tactical genius...rnrn[nextslide teaser="Grand%20Admiral%20Thrawn" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://twitter.com/raulmares72/status/1299154901914746880rn 1. Grand Admiral Thrawn rnFirst introduced in the 1991 Star Wars Legends novel Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn, Grand Admiral Thrawn -- or Mitth’raw’nurodo, as he is known among his own people -- is one of the most well-known and popular Star Wars character who is yet to appear on the big screen.rnrnA master tactician, Thrawn made a name for himself as a warrior and commander. Rising through the ranks of the Imperial Navy at an unprecedented rate and reaching the rank of Grand Admiral, Thrawn took command of the Seventh Fleet with his flagship the Chimera.rnrnThrawn is originally from the Outer Rim world of Csilla. Before he joined The Empire, Thrawn was an officer of the Chiss Ascendancy. This part of Thrawn’s life is explored in the 2017 Thrawn trilogy book series by Timothy Zahn, which looks at how he came into the service of The Empire, his rise up the ranks, and his motivations/allegiance to both The Empire and his home world. The series takes us up to when Thrawn was introduced in the animated series Star Wars Rebels .rnrnWhile much of Thrawn’s story has been told, there are still plenty of questions unanswered. We don't know what he doing after the end of Star Wars Rebels , and there's his time before The Empire when he was just Mitth’raw’nurodo.rnrnThese stories are being explored. Timothy Zahn is set to release a prequel book series about Thrawn later this year. There's also rumor of Star Wars TV show about the character .rnrnFans eagerly await both. At one point the character was rumored to appear in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and everyone went nuts with excitement.rnrnSo let’s get the man on the big screen! Fans clearly want it, and Star Wars doesn’t even have to create a new story. A movie adaptation of the Timothy Zahn series would be more than good enough.rnrn[nextslide teaser="Heroes%20of%20the%20Old%20Republic" /]rnrn rn rn (2) Ten years later, the mask was pivotal in the Jedi Knight Revan's efforts to find evidence of the Cathar species' genocide; Revan claimed the woman's mask as his own, vowing not to remove it until the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders were defeated permanently.

rn— Raul Mares (@raulmares72) October 27, 2019 rn rn 2. Jedi Knight Revan rnGamers will know who this guy is. And if you haven't heard of him, prepare to meet one of the most intriguing Star Wars characters ever created.rnrnRevan was introduced in the 2003 video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic , where he was a playable protagonist. He has also featured in the Legends novel Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan . Jedi Knight Revan has not only been on a journey like no other, but he also questions the very ideology of the franchise.rnrnShowing great promise from an early age, Revan did not always see eye to eye with the Jedi Order. When worlds were being conquered and many innocent lives were being destroyed by the Mandalorians, the Jedi were hesitant about what to do. Revan decided to step up and defy them. He, along with his friend Malak and those who would follow him, created an army and took the fight to the Mandalorians, battling a force led by Mandalore The Ultimate.rnrnIt was during this war that Revan would emerge as a figure both praised and feared across the galaxy. The war also started Revan on a path that would shock and surprise fans, as the story continually twisted and turned in ways we didn't initially think was possible.rnrnThere are rumors that an Old Republic Star Wars movie , potentially a trilogy, is going to be made. So there is the possibly of seeing Jedi Knight Revan on the big screen one day.rnrnAnd if this happens, we will more than likely see other great characters from the KOTOR series, such as this guy...rnrn[nextslide teaser="Villains%20of%20the%20Old%20Republic" /]rnrn rnrn[caption id="attachment_831926" align="aligncenter" width="3200"] Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian in THE MANDALORIAN. Image Courtesy Disney+[/caption]rn 3. Mandalore The Great rnYou can’t have a Star Wars movie featuring Jedi Knight Revan and not have Mandalore The Great. An antagonist who was within reach of conquering the galaxy, it took not one but two ridiculously powered Jedi to bring this guy down. And after he did, Mandalore fell into disarray.rnrnHaving Mandalore and Revan in a movie would give us more of a window into Mandalorian culture. And clearly, that's something people want. Fans have been fascinated with Boba Fett since his character appeared in The Empire Strikes Back , not to mention a long line of Mandalorians who followed him, including Jango Fett, Sabine Wren, Gar Saxon, and everyone’s new favorite bounty hunter , Din Djarin. Star Wars fans cannot get enough of the Mandalorians.rnrnHowever, the story of Jedi Knight Revan and Mandalore the Great only works if you include the third member of the Knights of the Old Republic trifecta:rnrn[nextslide teaser="Malak%2FDarth%20Malak" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L-MI8wqrwQrn 4. Malak/Darth Malak rnA member of the Jedi Order and close friend of Jedi Knight Revan, Malak was introduced alongside his buddy in Star Wars: The Knights of Old Republic . Like Revan, Malak also defied the Jedi Order and fought in the war against Mandalore The Great and his Mandalorian army.rnrnHowever, what's most important isn't the role Malak played int he war; it's what happened after. Following the fall of Mandalore The Great, many warriors returned home, but others fled into unknown regions of space. Malak and Revan pursued them, and when they returned, they weren't the same Jedi Knights who first set out to save the galaxy.rnrnFor Malak had become...Darth Malak. During his journey, he encountered an ancient Sith Emperor and was convinced to join the Dark Side of the Force. He was given a mission to find the Star Forge, a weapon that could end the Jedi Order for good. After finding it, Malak began a new war against the Republic that would come to be known as the Jedi Civil War.rnrnEventually, Malak betrays his Sith Master (who is different than the Sith Emperor who turned him tot he Dark Side) and proclaimed himself the new Dark Lord. He's finally defeated at the hands of his former friend Revan.rnrnMalak’s story is long and complicated, with lots of twists and turns that have long captured the attention of Star Wars fans. This is a story that many fans would love to see play out onscreen, and Malak isn't even the most important character in this drama:rnrn[nextslide teaser="A%20fallen%20Jedi" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://twitter.com/DarthXander_/status/1298224203611566082rn 5. Darth Revan rnRemember when we said that Malak betrayed his Sith Master and declared himself a new Dark Lord? It turns out that the Sith Master was none other than Revan, one of the most powerful Jedi to ever fall to the Dark Side.rnrnTogether, Darth Revan and Darth Malak with with the intent of bringing down the Old Republic and the Jedi Order, and they nearly succeeded. The turning point and beginning of the end for both of them was when the apprentice betrayed the master, which is standard practice for Sith.rnrnMalak attempts to destroy Darth Revan and fails in spectacular fashion. This gives the Jedi Order the chance to bring Revan back to the light. They're successful, and Revan goes on to defeat Malak once and for all and bring peace to the galaxy...at least until the next big threat came along.rnrnSo to recap, Revan was a legendary Jedi who became a feared Sith Lords who again became a Jedi Knight. There aren't many characters who have made the full circuit like that, and none whose stories are explored in as much detail as Revan's. It's a story that begs for the big screen treatment.rnrnOf course, Revan's redemption wouldn't have been possible if someone hadn't had his back...rnrn[nextslide teaser="Bastila%20Shan" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://twitter.com/kalinka_fox/status/1297992529682497536rn 6. Bastila Shan rnBastila Shan was a Jedi Knight during the Jedi Civil War, when Darth Revan and Darth Malak were wrecking havoc across the galaxy. She was known for a unique Force ability known as Battle Meditation, which allowed her to boost the morale, stamina, and battle capability of those who followed her.rnrnDue to her unique ability, Bastila was given the task of leading a team to either kill or capture Darth Revan. This was around the time Darth Malak betrayed his master, and Bastila was successful. Afterwards, it was Bastila who convinced the Jedi Order to retrain Revan and ultimately pulled him back to the Light side of the Force.rnrnBut the drama wasn't over. In the process of trying to defeat Malak, Bastila allowed herself to be captured so Revan and his compatriots could escape an attack. Bastila was then turned to the Dark Side and became Malak’s new apprentice.rnrnSome time later, Bastila would come face to face with Revan. Revan wins their duel, and helps bring her back to the Ligth. Together, the two of them defeat Malak. Afterwards, the two get married. They have a son and enjoy a relatively peaceful life.rnrnRevan goes on a new adventure as detailed in the novel Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan , but Bastila’s journey pretty much comes to an end following the death of Darth Malak. She's easily the most undervalued character from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic , and fans would love to see her in a movie or three.rnrn[nextslide teaser="C-3P0%20if%20he%20killed%20more%20people" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPeI4mX8Nusrn 7. HK-47 rnWho doesn’t enjoy the adventures of a murderous assassin robot? The IG bounty hunter droid introduced in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back became an iconic character and he only appeared for a few seconds, and we’re still not over how the IG unit from The Mandalorian series gave his life for Mando and The Child. Star Wars fans definitely have a soft spot for droids.rnrnThat brings us to HK-47, an assassin droid created by Darth Revan meant to hunt Jedi. That idea is awesome enough by itself, but what really set HK-47 apart is his demeanor. He's sort of similar to C-3P0: very direct and official. Except when C-3P0 is done talking, you're just annoyed. When HK-47 stops talking, you're probably dead.rnrnAs HK-47 has famously said, "It is my primary function to burn holes through meatbags that you wish removed from the galaxy." And he means it.rnrnHK-47’s journey does not end when Darth Revan is redeemed. The droid bounces around the galaxy and worked for a variety of different Masters, most of whom turned up dead. Eventually, he finds his way back to Revan, then a part of the Jedi Order. Their unique friendship continued even though Revan no longer followed the Dark Side. In the novel Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan , HK-47 even seeks out Revan when he goes missing.rnrnA lot of Star Wars droids can come off as irritating, but HK-47 has a special connection with fans we want to see realized on film. He could appear alongside Revan, Malak, Mandalore The Great, and Bastila in an adaptation of Knights of the Old Republic or hold up his own story, perhaps introducing us to those other characters.rnrnOkay, it's time to move away from KOTOR and look at some wonderful characters from elsewhere in the Star Wars timeline.rnrn[nextslide teaser="Lord%20of%20Pain" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHisfFhYAg8rn 8. Darth Sion rnDarth Sion, known as the Lord of Pain, lived during the Old Sith Wars. Like most Sith, he came to bloody end. However, unlike most Sith, Darth Sion didn't stay dead. Upon being struck down, he embraced all of his pain, hatred and anger and achieved immortality.rnrnBecoming immortal leaves Darth Sion disfigured. One of the most recognizable characters in Star Wars , he looks like a zombie on steroids.rnrnDarth Sion was able to rise back up no matter how many times he was struck down. He even lived long enough to allay himself with Darth Revan. It was around this time that Darth Sion did what he is best known for: Forming the Sith Triumvirate with two other Sith Lords, which brought the Jedi Order to the brink of extinction. He and his fellow members made their first appearance in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords .rnrnA Darth Sion movie, or even just a Star Wars movie featuring Darth Sion, would take fans on a journey not only across the galaxy, but through time as well. And there are plenty of fans who would love to see the Sith Triumvirate onscreen.rnrnSpeaking of the Sith Triumvirate, the other two members are pretty interesting in their own rights:rnrn[nextslide teaser="Lord%20of%20Hunger" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toiAE2roH5grn 9. Darth Nihilus rnNicknamed the Lord of Hunger, Darth Nihilus is one of the other founders of the Sith Triumvirate. Recognizable by the skull-like mask he wears, Darth Nihilus is described as a wound in the Force, and is more spirit than actual flesh.rnrnDarth Nihilus' isn't as long-lived as Darth Sion, but his story is just as fascinating. Before he took the name "Darth," he felt the life force being drained from his planet by a weapon called the Mass Shadow Generator, which was used in an attempt to put an end to the war between the Galactic Republic and the Mandalorians. As a result, Darth Nihilus craved Force Energy; it devastated his body and put him on the path to becoming the Lord of Hunger.rnrnAt first, Darth Nihilus was lost. It was not until he was found by the one who would become his Master that he learned how to control his endless hunger and use this as a weapon. He developed a technique called Force Drain, which allowed him to leech the life from another. While others have learned this skill, no one does it better than Darth Nihilus.rnrnAfter he became more powerful, Darth Nihilus formed the Sith Triumvirate with his Master and Darth Sion. As with Darth Sion, Darth Nihilus' story is definitely worth exploring in full onscreen; his origin story alone could make for a fascinating movie.rnrnSo both Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion are impressive figures. But they're still the babies of the group...rnrn[nextslide teaser="Lord%20of%20Betrayal" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://twitter.com/DeggialNox/status/1297926644036902915rn 10. Darth Traya rnBefore becoming the master of Darth Sion and Darth Nihilus, Darth Traya was a Jedi Master himself. Known as Kreia back then, she was unconventional in that she routinely questioned the teachings of the Force.rnrnKreia was cast out of the Jedi Order for her beliefs and for her hand in teaching the Jedi Knight Revan lessons the Order believed influenced him to defy their commands. And so began her journey to the Dark Side of the Force.rnrnAfter traveling the galaxy and finding herself on Malachor V, Kreia shed her old name and became Darth Traya. She became the head of the Trayus Academy, where she trained Sith Assassins. While teaching a new generation of Sith, Traya took two apprentices: Darth Sion and Darth Nihilus. Together, the three of them formed the Sith Triumvirate, and Darth Traya gave herself another name: Lord of Betrayal.rnrnTogether, these three began the Jedi Civil War. Ironically, Darth Traya was eventually betrayed herself; her apprentices stripped her of her ability to connect with the Force and she was cast out by the Sith.rnrnBut Traya’s story did not end there. Effectively an exile of both the Light and Dark sides of the Force now, she returned to her former name, Kreia, and took on a new mission: to extinguish the Force completely, both the light and the dark.rnrnUltimately, Kreia/Traya did not accomplish her goal, and died in the attempt. Her story, together with the stories of her apprentices, makes for a riveting tale, and would look unbelievable on a 45-65 foot screen.rnrnIt's time to hit fast-forward on the Star Wars timeline and look at a character who, unfortunately, will never appear on the big screen. Say hello to Luke Skywalker’s wife!rnrn[nextslide teaser="Mrs.%20Luke%20Skywalker" /]rnrn rnrn[caption id="attachment_839483" align="aligncenter" width="3200"] ANAHEIM, CA - APRIL 16: Actress/singer Emily Rose Morrison dressed as Mara Jade on Day Four of Disney's 2015 Star Wars Celebration held at the Anaheim Convention Center on April 19, 2015 in Anaheim, California. (Photo by Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images)[/caption]rn 11. Mara Jade rnNow, if you've just watched the Star Wars movies and nothing else, you're probably scratching your head and thinking, “Ummm, did I miss something? Did he say Luke Skywalker’s wife?”rnrnI did, but you're right in the be confused. In the movies, Luke did not have a wife. However, in Legends , he does. Her name was Mara Jade and she was first introduced in the Timothy Zahn 1991 Star Wars novel Heir to the Empire. rnrnDescribed as an Emperor’s Hand, Mara Jade was essentially an assassin working for Emperor Palpatine. She was able to use the Force and proved highly valuable to her master, killing many rebels and corrupt officials within the Empire under his orders.rnrnShortly after Palpatine's death, Mara was given the order to assassinate Luke Skywalker, but because the Emperor was dead, she decided to ignore it and instead became one of the best smugglers in the galaxy. However, her path did eventually cross with Luke's.rnrnWith the Emperor dead and the Empire falling to pieces, Grand Admiral Thrawn took it upon himself to restore order. To stop him, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade worked together, and Mara gained a deep respect for the Jedi Knight.rnrnOver the years, Mara continued her work as a smuggler and intermittently work with Luke. With every job, the two grew closer. When they realized they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, they got married. Afterwards, Mara decided to devote her life to the New Jedi Order, where she became a Jedi Master.rnrnThe story of Mara Jade is beloved by fans. Her exploits both with and without Luke have made her a fan favorite, but sadly, she hasn't featured or even been mentioned in any. of the sequel movies, so it seems as if she's been cut from the Canon.rnrnThere's still a slight possibility she could appear, since a lot of time passes between the sixth and seventh movie. Disney could also just take parts of her story and lose others, but either way, I wouldn't get your hopes up.rnrnNext up, we're back to Sith Lords. What? They make good characters.rnrn[nextslide teaser="Darth%20Malgus" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://twitter.com/HyperSleet0/status/1298397185202171904rn 12. Darth Malgus rnBorn on the Sith Capital World of Dromund Kaas, Darth Malgus showed signs that he was going to become a powerful Sith warrior at an early age. Malgus, along with his Master Vindican, would one day lead an assault to reclaim the Sith World of Korriban.rnrnDuring this assault, Malgus encountered Satele Shan, a Jedi and descendant of the famous Jedi Knight Revan and Bastila Shan. The two would encounter each other on other occasions as Malgus led Sith warriors into battle across the galaxy.rnrnMalgus’ most notable achievement was his attack on the Republic Capital of Coruscant. He even headed up a strike team that infiltrated the Jedi Temple. The attack was a complete success, with Malgus and his team destroying the Temple and killing at least half of the Jedi High Council. Afterwards, the Sith fleet laid waste to the city. Fans still remember this moment from the game Star Wars: The Old Republic :rnrnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdgmH9Vv2-IrnrnWith that epic a story, it's easy to see why we need Malgus on the big screen. Consider the trailer above as a kind of pilot episode or movie preview and you'll be convinced. Alas, we’re still waiting on some big wig at Disney/Lucasfilm to give the go-ahead. Fingers crossed.rnrnNext, we have another character from the video games, but one from a more familiar time period:rnrn[nextslide teaser="The%20man%20who%20created%20the%20Rebel%20Alliance" /]rnrn rn rn That’s not starkiller this is pic.twitter.com/7uWTHobPrY

rn— Caleb Stewart (@haywire4fun) August 27, 2020 rn rn 13. Starkiller rnReal name Galen Marek, Starkiller was first introduced in the 2008 video game Soulcalibur IV , a fighting game that otherwise had very little to do with Star Wars . rnrnBut Starkiller didn't let that stop him. Most Star Wars fans know Starkiller from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed , which came out just a couple months later. In this game, Starkiller is the protagonist.rnrnA secret apprentice of Darth Vader, Starkiller was trained as the Dark Lord's personal assassin. As Marek grew stronger, both he and Darth Vader plotted to kill Emperor Palpatine.rnrnHowever, when Palpatine learned of Vader’s intention, he convinced Vader to kill his secret apprentice instead. The betrayal inspired Starkiller to start a rebellion against the Empire, although the itself was a ruse; he remained loyal to Darth Vader. Key members of the future Rebel Alliance, including Mon Mothma, joined Starkiller, only for them to be arrested by Darth Vader.rnrnVader eventually betrayed Starkiller once again and left him for dead. This time, Starkiller realized he was not wanted and he decided to undo the wrong he'd done. He boarded the Death Star and freed Mon Mothma and the other rebels, and died in the escape attempt.rnrnHis sacrifice was not forgotten. The Rebel Alliance rose out of the ashes of Starkiller's sacrifice. The symbol of the Rebellion that we have all know is the family symbol of Galen Marek.rnrnSo in a way, Starkiller, the secret apprentice of Darth Vader, was responsible for creating the Rebel Alliance. Does that mean that Darth Vader started the Rebellion? Maybe Vader intended for it to happen all along? That's be a great question to explore in a movie...rnrnBy the time of Darth Vader, there weren't many Siths around. Let's visit with the man responsible for that:rnrn[nextslide teaser="The%20man%20behind%20the%20Rule%20of%20Two" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://twitter.com/AaronQuinton316/status/1298024569899540481rn 14. Darth Bane rnIf it wasn’t for Darth Bane, the Sith would more than likely have wiped each other out by the time Anakin Skywalker came into the picture, so famous were they for infighting. Darth Bane saw this and decided to do something about it: he created the Rule of Two.rnrnThe rule itself is fairly simple. To quote Darth Bane himself:rn Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody power, the other to crave it. rnUnder this rule, the Sith stabilized and actually grew more powerful over the succeeding generations, as in order to become the new Master the Appreciate had to become more powerful than the Sith who taught them, who had to become powerful than the Sith who taught them, and on and on.rnrnAs is the way with Sith, the Apprentice only took the top job when they killed their Master. They're a violent folk, Sith, but at least with the Rule of Two, that violence was kept carefully managed. Then the two Master would take on an apprentice of their own, and the cycle would repeat itself.rnrnThe Rule of Two had another advantage: it allowed the Sith to remain secret from the Jedi. It lasted for thousands of years, during which the Sith laid their complex plans.rnrnA lot of fans are aware of the Rule of Two, but fewer know its origin. Darth Bane deserves to be on the big screen on account of how important he is to the mythology.rnrnDarth Bane has been a part of Star Wars stories for a long time. This next character, however, is fairly new:rnrn[nextslide teaser="Where%20do%20you%20get%20a%20PhD%20in%20a%20galaxy%20far%2C%20far%20away%3F" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://twitter.com/thehobbem/status/1296365430139949057rn 15. Doctor Aphra rnIntroduced to fans in the 2015 Darth Vader #3 comic, Doctor Aphra was such a hit that she got her own spinoff, and there are even rumors of a TV show being developed for Disney+.rnrnAn archaeologist by trade, Doctor Aphra was recruited by the one and only Darth Vader and given several missions, which she carried out alongside her companions 0-0-0 and BT-1, assassin droids both. As we established earlier, everyone loves assassin droids.rnrnEventually Doctor Aphra fell out of favor with Darth Vader, which meant it was time to disappear before she wound up on the wrong end of a lightsaber. She faked her own death and continues to travel around the galaxy with 0-0-0 and BT-1.rnrnDoctor Aphra’s story is rich and edgy, and best of all, still largely untold. She's a relatively new addition to the Star Wars universe; creator Kieron Gillen is still exploring her journey, which means we have a lot to look forward to.rnrnLike I said before, there's a rumor that Aphra may feature in a new Star Wars show coming to Disney+. Doctor Aphra is interesting enough to get a standalone movie of her own, but a TV series might suit her continuing adventures better.rnrnNext up are a pair of characters introduced the same year as Doctor Aphra, but who lived quite a long time before:rnrn[nextslide teaser="Twin%20Sith" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzq9epS2b1Arn 16. The Eternal Twins (Arcann and Thexan) rnThe Eternal Twins first appeared in 2015's Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Fallen Empire . These Force-sensitive brothers were trained from childhood to be warriors by their father, Emperor Valkorion (or Vitiate, as he's known to the Old Sith).rnrnWatching the trailer for the game above really spurred fans' curiosity about Arcann and Thexan; they wanted to know more, and what better way to do it than to make a movie about them? We want to see what it was like for the two of them growing up with a father like Vitiate, who was creating a Sith Empire in secret. What did it feel like when they became adults and were sent to war?rnrnWe want to see them travel across the galaxy from one battle to the next. We want to see how, after all the battles were won, their father still did not acknowledged them, which made one brother snap and kill the other.rnrnThe story of Arcann and Thexan is long and tragic. It has all the ingredients for an awesome movie!rnrn[nextslide teaser="Emperor's%20little%20helper" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://twitter.com/StarWarsScots/status/848608969321009154rn 17. Scourge rnLike Darth Bane, Scourge is an immortal Sith warrior, but their stories are very different. Darth Bane's story is soaked in war, while Lord Scourge’s is more of a political drama.rnrnScourge was introduced in the book Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan . He served as a Sith Lord in the reconstituted Sith Empire, which was in hiding from the Jedi on the planet of Dromund Kaas.rnrnRecalled to the capital of Dromund Kaas, Scourge enters the service of a member of the Dark Council, the political leaders of the Sith Empire, all of whom are out to get each other in order to grow their own power. Different members try to influence Scourge to benefit themselves, and Scourge is unsure how to handle all of these powerful people trying to lean on him. And none were more powerful than Vitiate, the Sith Emperor and father to the Eternal Twins.rnrnScourge witnesses Vitiate's immense power and is privy to his vision for extinguishing all life in the galaxy. He eventually comes into contact with the Jedi Knight Revan, and decides to team up with the Jedi to bring Vitiate down.rnrnThat’s right, we have a Sith/Jedi team up! That’s how bad Vitiate was.rnrnUnfortunately for Revan, who had been educating Scourge in the ways of the Jedi, Scourge had a vision of what would happen when they attacked Vitiate: he sees his own death and the mission being a failure. Therefore, in the final moments of the mission, Scourge betrays Revan in the hopes of changing this future.rnrnVitiate saw this as an act of loyalty and made Scourge the Emperor's Wrath: essentially, he became Vitiate's personal enforcer. Scourge held this position for hundreds of years, all the while secreting working to overthrow Vitiate, which he eventually did.rnrnScourge’s story has something for everyone: Friendship, betrayal, action, drama, politics, lightsabers...It has the makings of a great movie.rnrn[nextslide teaser="Asajj%20Ventress" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q2TNPxSxj0rn 18. Asajj Ventress rnAsajj Ventress was introduced in the very first episode of the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series as Count Dooku's personal assistant, although this aspiring Sith warrior yearned for more. As the series evolved, so did she, and she eventually became a bounty hunter.rnrnAsajj became known for her distinctive duel lightsabers, meaning her fighting style isn't unlike Ahsoka Tano's. In a way, the two are opposites.rnrnBut while Ahsoka blew up and even had a vocal cameo in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker , Asajj seemed to just fade away, even though she would have been a natural fit for the prequel trilogy. But there wasn't even a mention of this fan favorite character, which is just bizarre.rnrnIt's a shame, because this character is extremely entertaining on the animated series, and her being a bounty hunter gave the writers the flexibility to insert her into all kinds of stories. Perhaps we'll see her on the big screen if the movies ever return to the his time period.rnrnUp next, another character from the Star Wars animated series:rnrn[nextslide teaser="It's%20a%20pirate's%20life%20for%20him" /]rnrn rnrn[caption id="attachment_839563" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] ORLANDO, FLORIDA - AUGUST 28: Star Wars character Hondo Ohnaka performs during the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Dedication Ceremony at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on August 28, 2019 in Orlando, Florida.

He was introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and also featured in the follow-up Star Wars Rebels . His gang, the Ohnaka Gang, camped out on the world of Florrum in the Outer Rim world.rnrnHondo had a knack for dealing with Jedi, and routinely came into contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ashoka Tano. He developed a unique bond with the Jedi and often found himself teaming up with them. Of course, since Hondo was a pirate, his loyalties were easily swayed, and he had a habit of double-crossing his allies. This's what made Hondo such an enjoyable character: you never quite knew which way he was going to lean.rnrnIn terms of where a movie about Hondo could go, the possibilities are endless. We could have an origin story about how he put together the Ohnaka gang, for example. And because a movie about Hondo would be set during the prequel period, you could have other figures from that time show up.rnrnA Hondo movie would be funny, fun, and could expand on an already intriguing character. Everybody wins.rnrnAnd finally, we arrive at our final entrant...rnrn[nextslide teaser="Roger%20Roger" /]rnrn rnrnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CroKKdOWBOkrn 20. Mister Bones rnEven fans who have never heard of Mister Bones may well have heard his catchphrase: "Roger Roger!" Although Mister Bones himself hasn't been in any movies, that phrase showed up in the prequels, spoken by by the lovable B1-series battle droids:rnrnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2jAwlorN30rnrnMister Bones is a member of the B1-series, with some interesting upgrades and a homicidal nature. With a sword for one arm and a blaster for another, painted red and literally covered in bones, Mister Bones is one of the most recognizable Star Wars characters out there.rnrnMister Bones, who enjoys singing and humming while he murders and maims his targets, serves as the bodyguard, friend and companion to Temmin Wesley, who created him from scavenged parts. The two traveled together across the galaxy between the time of the original trilogy and the sequels, even encountering Princess Leia Organa during one of their adventures.rnrnMister Bones lasted a lot longer than most B1 units, but his time did eventually come to an end when he was disintegrated to death. But he left behind a legacy that needs to be explored in full on the big screen. As a murderous droid with an awesome look and a flare for the dramatic who steals the spotlight from his maker, he's made for the movies. Mister Bones is awesome!rnrnFingers crossed some of these characters will appear in front of us 30 feet tall one day.rnrn[story_link_next description="All%209%20upcoming%20Star%20Wars%20shows%20(confirmed%20AND%20rumored)%2C%20ranked%20by%20hype%20level" url="All 9 upcoming Star Wars shows (confirmed AND rumored), ranked by hype level" /]rnrn To stay up to date on everything fantasy, science fiction, and WiC, follow our all-encompassing&#xA0;Facebook page and sign up for our exclusive newsletter . rnrn Get HBO, Starz, Showtime and MORE for FREE with a no-risk, 7-day free trial of Amazon Channels
