Characters Established characters you would like to see in (more) stories!

Got a developing Dear Diary Challenge you might be interested in, then Link in sig. It's a Jedi OC.

 

Here's my list of characters I would like to see:

Luke Skywalker's inaugural Jedi students from Legends (Kam Solusar, Tionne, Kirana Ti, Streen, Cilghal, etc.) - The Jedi Academy trilogy was my first entry into the Luke's Jedi Order, and while I might question its plot now, I always did enjoy Luke's students and how he trained them. However, they've always had cameos afterwards (barring the major students like Kyp and Corran) with no significant stories of their own.

Vima Sunrider - I liked her as a teenager in Tales of the Jedi: Redemption, and I would have loved to see her as a grown Jedi Knight, facing off whatever threats came to the old Republic and continuing the great legacy her mother left behind.

Marka Ragnos - One of my favorite Sith Lords from Legends and he's only shown up as a ghost. I'd like to a story fully flesh him out into the mighty emperor that he became.

Ajunta Pall - Another Sith Lord who just appeared as a ghost, yet his backstory as the first Dark Lord is brimming with tons of potential. Heck, I even wrote one fanfic of him on this site called The First Betrayal some years ago.

The Bendu - The mysterious and powerful Force-wielder voiced by TOM BAKER! Really, there's a lot that could be done with his character, especially with the hints Rebels left about him.

The Grand Inquisitor - We've all seen him as the evil Inquisitor that no one in Rebels expects, but we never really got anything about him before that. I'd like to see him go on adventures as a Jedi Temple Guard, acting as some detective/lone cop going after mysterious artifacts.

Tarre Viszla - only one mention in Rebels, yet there is so much that can be told from his character (the conflict between his Mandalorian heritage and Jedi teaching, the making of the Darksaber, etc.).

Captain Panaka - Strangely enough, I kinda liked his no-nonsense personality I saw in TPM and wished he appeared more often. The idea of a guard trying to protect his queen and people can show how far he would be willing to accomplish that goal.

And that's all for now.

 

Lusa (or any Chironian, really)

Seconding Anja Gallandro

 

I knew @Gamiel would like that post.

And wow, there was a lightsaber-wielder with no Force sensitivity in Legends, too? Yup, I want to learn more about Anja Gallandro now.

 

Here's my own list (It may extend if needed)-
Pao - I have a soft spot for any alien members of the rebel alliance that isn't human or some force wielder and Pao is definitely one of those characters. His background as a former architect who's dedicated to the destruction of Imperial structures and underwater espionage really hits my love of the galaxy fighting back against the Empire as we don't often see the other rim planet's reactions to being conquered. Plus, I have a soft spot for the commando-type character we sparely see in the universe.
Bistan - This little space monkey caught my eye in a few premiers and in the Ultimate Visual guide, which cemented my interest in the Iakaru door gunner. I don't know why he's my favorite, maybe it's because the universe has managed to make furry heroes endearing and comedic, or maybe it's due to the fact he's the door gunner to the in-universe equivalent of a Huey Helicopter. When he popped open the door of the U-Wing and opened covering fire on the AT-ACT, how could anyone not love the action and feel the urge to blast "Fortunate Son".
Raddus - The Mon Cal hybrid of Winston Churchill, George S. Patton, and Douglas MacArthur. What's not to love about this guy that hasn't been said already, Raddus told his own rebel superiors to get stuffed and watch him go over to aid Rogue One in actually stealing the Death Star plans without bureaucratic red tape hampering their campaigns. As you can tell by my writing, I'm one for characters who decide to take action and do what's right without the force or some legal foolery getting in the way. An added bonus with this guy is that he's practically up their Admiral Ackbar as one of the canon rebel's best leading military figures, at least until his belated passing.
Sugi - Admittedly, I liked her mainly due to her reminding me of my previous girlfriend at the time (What can I say, I like girls who can speak Russian) but after some time, my interest mainly stemmed from her empasis on honor and comradery in the bounty hunter trade. Her relationship with Embo, Seripas, and many others brightens up the dim underworld in a galaxy far far away.
Terak - Sanyassans, what's not to love about these delightfully evil brutes who tromp around committing barbarism and setting fire to small furry villages, what's not to like about them as villains? King Terak himself is a shining answer to this. In an age where sith or other villains are made sympathetic, Terak provides a enjoyable return to the black-hearted foe we need nowadays. Also, the guy managed to salvage his army of thugs from their situation on Endor and get a sweet castle out of the deal; plus he gets a Nightsister witch as his aide-de-camp, how awesome is that.
Bubo - All hail the frog-doggo, that is all.

 

Established List Part 2 (Couldn't resist an extension)
Moroff- Same as for Pao, Bistan, and Raddus from my first list; I found this guy to be majorly underutilized in a film about the grimy and more action-filled side of the early rebel causes. Moroff hits my favorite tropes of being a mercenary for hire; he's there to get paid in credits and violence which his employer, Saw Gererra had plenty to spare. Also, the guy has plenty of potential to be Benthics answer to Chewbacca if he survived in a fanfic or two, mix that with Weeteef and we have doppelgangers for both the wookie and Wicket the Ewok.
Oola- Admittedly, I first thought about putting this in due to my unabated love for Twileks (Rest in Peace, Aayla...) but now, Oola was chosen simply for the concept of her surviving her ordeal with Jabba. If she avoided being fed to the rancor, what's not to say she would aid the alliance by opening up to them about Ryloths growing slave trade and the current whereabouts of Cham Syndulla (Maybe have her family be connected to the freedom fighter somehow), by doing this, maybe she could lead to Bib Fortuna's starting empire in Legends to crumble at the moment she opens up. Overall, I'm a sucker for giving woobie characters like her a chance to live; I'm not one for seeing a poor character getting axed so quickly and she's one of them.
Cham Syndulla- Unlike Oola, I always envisioned Cham actually continuing his crusade in the Legends verse and maybe having a pact with the Rebells as a splinter cell, the old man has some experience with the Republic of old and could exchange to the younger freedom fighters taking it to the empire. Frak, maybe have him bring in a legends version of Hera into the mix, since there's nothing about her not turning to the rebels in Legends to say no.
The Pyke Syndicate- I love these guys, unlike the organized Black Suns or chaotic Hutt Cartels; the Pykes themselves run their operations like a well-oiled machine and they don't take jack from anyone in the underworld. If they weren't snubbed so much as a group given their rep in certain expanded universe adaptations and given proper light as a credible threat, I imagine a fic or two showing them as a danger to the galaxy would be awesome. Plus, they managed to survive Maul's eventual downfall as a mob boss and went on to continue their merry way into fighting against Boba Fett, how awesome.

 

Here's a Palpatine for you ...

Here's a Palpatine for you ...

Edit: All Palpatine stories linked below.

 

I wanna read the rest of it.

I wonder if he really cares anything for Amne or not? He gives a good impression of it ... once in a while.

 

OMG. I had a whole Piett novel planned out once. Never wrote it, though.

 

The Jedi Council, or more specifically some of the more obscure members like Omo Bouri, Tyvokka, Poli Dapton, Alxa Kress, etc.

 

Oh. Sorry.

 

Hey, it's never too late....

 

Man, I don't know. It's sooooo much military stuff. I don't know how to write that. It's intimidating.

 

You could always start it and see how you go, or leave some of the excessive military detail blank and write Piett's character around it until you're more comfortable to take the plunge. It might just suddenly start to flow one day!

 

Hm. Possibly. Except,

Palpy. On. The. Brain.

*curses DarthIshtar for writing Wife of Deceit*

You know ... there IS one GOOD SW military writer on Wattpad who might be able to help me out with it, though ...

 

@LLL I got a good way into writing Piett at one point and then lost the thread, motivationally speaking.

I want to see more with Tionne.

 

Not sure who Tionne is, but love me some Piett. Ken Colley just goes to show you how a talented actor can make even a tiny part shine.

 

I recall she appeared in the Han Solo Trilogy on Nar Shadaa as an elderly fortune teller.

I'd certainly wonder how folks would tackle Jorus C'baoth.

 

He’s little more than a set of bullet points, but I would love to read stories about Biel Ductavis. What if the Jedi Grand Master did arrest the Chancellor and took over the Republic’s leadership? Seems like such a great prompt for a story!

Love the Aphra comics, especially the early volumes, and I think she’d be a real fun character to read in assorted stand-alone adventure fics.
