Lucasfilm is keeping story details about its next movie under wraps to avoid spoiling any surprises. However, it’s fair to assume it will advance the story Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau have been telling across their various shows, which all feature familiar faces from a galaxy far, far away. Here are three Star Wars characters who need to meet the Mandalorian — and fast — if the powers that be want to move things in the right direction.
3) Hera Syndulla
The crew of the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels is getting a second crack at it on Disney+, with Ahsoka Tano getting a solo series that features all her old friends. But when she makes it big, she fails to reach out to one of her other buddies, Din, whom she meets with about Gorgu in The Mandalorian Season 2 and Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett. That lapse in judgment means Ahsoka doesn’t have enough backup when traveling to another universe to rescue Ezra Bridger.
With both Ahsoka and Sabine stuck in another galaxy, Hera Syndaulla, a general in the New Republic, will need all the help she can get. Din finds himself in a similar situation because the Empire is after him and Grogu, which means it’s only a matter of time before Grand Admiral Thrawn comes knocking as well. Din and Hera joining forces means the good guys won’t make the same mistake twice and could lead to some great space action, since they’re both talented pilots.
2) Ezra Bridger
Ezra and Hera reunite after years apart at the end of Star Wars: Ahsoka. However, there won’t be much time to catch up, because there are battles to win. Hera is sure to lean on Ezra for support because he’s one of the few Jedi in the galaxy at the moment. Still, she shouldn’t underestimate how much damage a Force user and a Mandalorian can do together.
