It’s not easy being a wampa: 18 Star Wars characters who deserve their own spin-off

Disney isn’t about to do something as simple as just make a new Star Wars trilogy. Spending billions to acquire one of the most beloved film franchises in the history of the medium (not to mention one of the most dedicated fan bases in the anything of ever) means the Mouse House is going to get its money’s worth. Which is why, in addition to the new trilogy, Disney also announced it’s making a spin-off film centered around Han Solo (not to mention a rumored one about Boba Fett). These new films got us thinking about the characters we’d really like to see get their own spin-off movies. And so The A.V. Club presents a range of characters from previous Star Wars films—from the beloved to the “who?”—along with the type of movie we’d like to see them in, title and all. While it’s by no means an exhaustive list (and we look forward to your additions in the comments), we feel confident that any list including the difficult battle with space drugs faced by Mos Eisley Cantina musician Figrin D’an is off to a strong start.
