Star Wars It is now a massive franchise that spans more than four decades. Characters have been introduced and lost, and others have stood the test of time to become fan favorites. And with Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm, the franchise has continued to grow in recent years, especially with the debut of Disney +.
Now there are tv series out of The Clone Wars and Star Wars rebels. The Mandalorian opened the franchise to live-action series, with many more in the works. There are the Cassian Andor and Obi-Wan series, along with one rumored to be Lando Calrissian.
While all of this sounds great and continues to look at beloved characters, there is none that is directed by women (that we know of). So here are seven fantastic Star Wars characters who also deserve their own show too.

1. Mara Jade
Mara Jade has one of the best stories and fans have been eager to see her in action for a while. She has only existed in Legends books and comics, which are no longer canon, but there is definitely an opportunity to take it to the world Star Wars universe. Mara Jade was once a smuggler to Emperor Palpatine and was sent to kill Luke Skywalker after Palpatine’s death in Return of the Jedi.
However, she became mischievous. Force-sensitive Mara Jade ends up meeting Luke and they fall in love. In Legends, they get married and she took the Skywalker surname too. To bring her into the canon, the franchise would have to modify her story because her son was Ben (and since Ben Solo already exists, they would have to cross that out). But there are many fans of Luke’s life who have not seen. Also, the series could be about his life before Luke. It’s the perfect opportunity to catch a glimpse of this different type of Force-sensitive individual, someone who worked closely with Palpatine.
2. I saw Moradi
Vi is one of the least known Star Wars characters because their existence is linked to the Galaxy’s Edge of Disney Park. She is a spy for the Resistance, and exists in the time period around the sequel trilogy (which is also the time period in which the Galaxy’s Edge story exists). She has encounters with Captain Phasma and Kylo Ren, and is a good spy. While fans get a spy narrative with the Cassian Andor series, this would be a good opportunity to see a similar story in a different war.
3. Rae Sloane
Rae Sloane is a faithful captain of the Empire, and after the First Order, and her story would be a total look of 180 returns to the conflict. It is no secret that Star Wars It has some of the best Big Bads of all time. But when it comes to the protagonists or the stories told, it is mainly from the point of view of the “good” side. And while the Dark Side is inherently bad, and the Empire is the symbolism of a fascist regime, taking a look at that bad side might be great.
There are comics and books on that side, like the ones in Rae Sloane (Aftermath series, among others). But in TV or movie form, it is not often explored. Sloane’s history is a great place to do this. She is a determined and ambitious member of the Empire, and then First Order; she is humanized and developed. A series about her would give her that other perspective and focus on a truly highly decorated member of the Empire’s army.
4. Threshing Suduri
This would be another series that would see someone on the Dark Side. Trilla made its first appearance in the 2019 video game Jedi: fallen order and she is the inquisitor, second sister. But she started out as a Jedi. She was a Padawan de Cere when Order 66 occurred and the Clone Wars ended. They were trying to hide Jedi Youngling from the Empire, but were captured.
While Cere escaped, Trilla was brought to the Inquisitorius. This was a typical practice once the Empire took over, where Force-sensitive people became Jedi Hunter Inquisitors. Sometimes they were Jedi they converted (like Trilla), but not always. A series on it would be interesting and would take a look (again) at the inner workings of the Empire.
5. Rose Tico
Despite being the subject of hate comments online, Rose Tico is quite a heroic character. She honored her sister’s memory by jumping on a mission with Finn, and literally lives and breathes for the Resistance. Her character was paid dust in Star Wars: The Rise of SkywalkerBut a series would be a great way to continue the character’s legacy (and give him some good stories).
6. Asajj Ventress
One of the saddest parts of The Clone WarsThe cancellation in 2013 was that the Asajj Ventress story was never finished. Now, the cancellation meant that nobody’s stories were over, however Asajj is particularly sad because she was such a complex villain. And with the seventh season, Ahsoka and Rex’s Clone Wars the trips could be concluded.
However, the moment fans didn’t see her, she had some really interesting adventures. After helping Ahsoka in Season 5, she ended up having an adventure and a very intriguing relationship with Jedi Master Quinlan Vos. It’s all in the Dark Disciple novel that was created with Ventress’s remaining 8-part story arc for The Clone Wars. She really is one of the coolest characters she ever comes out of Star Wars and is in dire need of this series. Live or animated action would work fine.
7. Ahsoka Tano
Lastly, Ahsoka Tano needs to have her own show. Blank point. She has proven to be one of the franchise’s most vital characters, with arcs spanning decades, which is something that only a few characters can claim. Being Padawan of Anakin Skywalker, it has an important place in Star Wars Canon, but also created its own law as an important part of this world.
With this place in the franchise, there are so many rumors surrounding the character. It’s only a matter of time, at this point, until you get your own series, but what is it about? His novel Ahsoka, follows her a year later The Clone Wars He finished, so that a series could see his first days as a spy in the Rebel Alliance. And the 15 years between then and Star Wars rebels it is intact, too. Or maybe a series could be after season 4 of Rebels, showing what he did after Malachor.
Whatever they choose, Ahsoka’s story will continue to add to the intricacy Star Wars franchise. Any of these characters would also be a great addition.
