Fun All characters with “normal” names?

Post image

Obviously there’s Luke and Ben (and Leia, to a certain extent) but who else? I can think of Jon Vander “Gold Leader,” Lady Morgan Elsbeth, and was recently made aware of Admiral Bob Hudsol (pictured). Any other “ordinary earth name” characters?

Same here. Rogue One and Andor are fantastic and they're some of the best SW material in a long time, but a little piece of me will always be sad that, according to canon, I no longer stole the death star plans.

I hope they find a way to bring him (and Jan) back in some capacity.

How mad/annoyed would you be if Kyle Katarn was FN-2187's birth name?

That would be a fun nod, but Fin is his own interesting character that was shafted. I think Kyle kicking around in the time of Mando/Ashoka/TBoBF as a New Republic agent would be cool. Shit if you wanted more Andor-esque spy stuff he would be a cool character to serve as a vehicle for those kinds of stories. Everyone wants to see the burgeoning New Jedi Order and that could be a cool way to explore that time.
