A few other characters attempt to give Vader a run for his money, such as Saw Gerrera, who becomes more machine than man after picking a fight with the Empire. While Saw is a great character, it’s hard to buy him as a Vader replacement, mostly because he only knows one speed — refusing to change, despite another, more positive path being available to him. Star Wars’ latest attempt at finding a Vader successor doesn’t fall into that trap, even though they’re an absolutely absurd character.
Star Wars’ Latest Show Returns to the Scene of the Crime
There are a few spots that rarely leave Star Wars’ purview. Coruscant is the center of the galaxy in both the prequel and original trilogies, so it always finds its way into the action. The only planet to outdo it is Tatooine, Luke Skywalker’s boring home planet that turns out to be a lot more than that. Of course, the prequels spend plenty of time there, as do a few of the live-action Disney+ series, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett. The latest project to travel there is Star Wars: Visions, the non-canon anthology series. In Season 3’s “Yuko’s Treasure,” the titular character spends his days on the desert planet with his best friend BILY, a droid that looks a lot like a teddy bear.
Yuko wakes up from a bad dream and wants to spend her birthday at home with BILY. That doesn’t work for the droid, though, because he needs to get his friend a gift. Unfortunately, BILY’s outing leads dangerous pirates back to his home, putting Yuko in grave danger. After hitting the droid with a couple of blaster shots, the pirates take him away so he can show them the location of the treasure they’re seeking. Yuko and her new friend, Sola, go after them and finally catch up after a run-in with a krayt dragon. But BILY isn’t happy to see the rescue team, as his pirate captors have stolen his heart.
