11 Underrated Star Wars Characters That Deserve Their Own Movie

Via Nme.com:

There are a lot more spinoffs coming and these are the legendary characters we think deserve their own movie.

Star Wars spinoffs we know about so far have included a direct prequel to the original trilogy, Rogue One, and next summer’s Young Han Solo film. But Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm (which produces Star Wars) has recently discussed further spinoff films, teasing that Star Wars fans are “as much masters of this franchise as we are.” Leaks recently emerged about a Boba Fett film and an Obi Wan Kenobi film, but Kennedy added: “Theories that emerge are sometimes new ideas for us that we hear, read and pay attention to.” So here’s a few suggestions for Lucasfilm of the greatest spinoff ideas they might not have considered…

1. Kit Fisto

Who he is: Originally designed as a new Sith lord, Fisto was instead a tentacle-headed Jedi Master, of the waterfaring Nautolan species, and was seen in Attack of The Clones, The Clone Wars, and Revenge of the Sith (in which he is killed by the Emperor).

What we’d see: The early years of this underused fan-favourite, who is as effective above sea level as below it. And hopefully some better prosthetics than we saw in Attack of the Clones.

Why it’d be great: You’d get cool action in sea environments – which we’ve not really seen much of in Star Wars movies so far. And because Fisto is a cheerful Jedi with a good sense of humour, you’d get none of that po-faced light-side/dark-side chat.

Likelihood: 4/10. Unless Disney could haul in a big-name actor to play Kit, they’d be unlikely to sell a huge movie on an obscure aquatic Jedi.
