And, yet, in this very thread people were commenting on how much they would love to see Han Solo pop-up, just like Luke, in TBOBF…
Fans are really a cause of why we see the same improbable characters and plots popping up over, and over, and over again in the Star Wars galaxy.
Fandom subsists solely on a steady diet of “Nostalgia Nuggets”, as far as Disney believes. “Just give us more of the same…”
I am certain we will see Darth Maul pop-up in the Kenobi series, as well as “You’ll Be Dead Guy”, and maybe Mace Windu (with a mechanical hand and heavy back brace), and perhaps even Jar Jar…
Didn’t I hear that Vader is slated to show-up; despite the dialogue in ANH indicating that their duel on the Death Star was the first time they had seen each other since Vader was “…but a learner”?
