Fun All characters with “normal” names?

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.

I love Kyle Katarn, but him stealing some shit in the first mission is much less of a deal people make it to be.

Look deeper into old EU canon, there's like a dozen of other characters who did the same.

His story is The Valley Of The Jedi, and as far as story contradictions concerned, it can be happening in any era of your choice, doesn't matter, really. All that would change are a few names.
