Star Wars is one of the world’s biggest franchises. Starting in 1977, Star Wars introduces audiences to an astounding world where evil looms over the universe. It’s a series about good prevailing and keeping hope alive. Over forty years later, the franchise is still going strong.
Even though some of the recent movies aren’t as beloved as they could have been, Star Wars has success in other mediums. Comic books, novels, animated series and video games are littered with Star Wars characters who are universally loved.
If you don’t want spoilers for the recent episodes of The Mandalorian, look away now.
Bo-Katan Kryze, portrayed by Katee Sackhoff, is a major player of the Mandalorian lore. She’s a creation of Dave Filoni for the animated series Clone Wars and Rebels.
However, a recent episode of The Mandalorian brought her to live-action. This is something that made a lot of fans happy.
Although, Bo-Katan isn’t the first character to make the jump from other media to live-action. Saw Gerrera (Forest Whittaker) also started in Clone Wars then crossed over to Rogue One and the video game Jedi: Fallen Order.
Furthermore, a name drop from Bo-Katan in The Mandalorian confirms a fan-favorite Jedi is finally coming to live action. While Ashoka Tano’s impending arrival is amazing, there are plenty of other characters who should make the jump to live-action.
Here are six characters from the expanded world of Star Wars who deserve to be seen in live-action.
