I can’t be the only one thinking this. We were expecting Vader 2 in May, then it got pushed to June, and now June is basically over. Starting to feel like it just isn’t ready… again. Lol.

Star Wars books are my favorite way to get Star Wars content because of the amount of depth that naturally comes with a novel. There are a lot of characters out there that I think could carry their own book.

I’d personally love to see books focused on Baylan Skoll, Exar Kun, and Darth Krayt. I know Exar Kun’s spirit appears in a few books, and Krayt is featured in several comics, but I think both characters deserve a dedicated novel to really flesh them out.

Star Wars is huge, so there are plenty of other characters who could fit the bill. I’ll admit I prefer reading about Sith and darker Force users, but I’m interested to hear everyone else’s picks.

Who would you choose?

Is there a character in Star Wars who could have had galactic implications had they reached their full potential? (Besides Anakin)

One could say Ahsoka is to an extent, though that feels like pushing it a bit since she still strongly follows the light side. Possible Asajj Ventress now that she’s back in the new canon as well. Another top contender would definitely be Cal Kestis.

Who else in both canon and Legends would you consider Gray Jedi?

Interested to hear everyone’s opinions because “Gray Jedi” is more of a fan theory I feel like.

Darth Plagueis was probably the wisest and most experimental Sith of the Rule of Two era. If his life hadn’t been cut short, what would he have ultimately been capable of accomplishing? You have to wonder if he eventually would’ve achieved true immortality, or reached a level of mastery over the Force where he could fully manipulate life and the Force itself entirely to his will.

Maul’s mind was completely shattered when Savage Opress found him in The Clone Wars, and it took Mother Talzin using Nightsister magic to piece him back together.

What I’ve always wondered is, what kind of long-term effect did that actually have on him?

By the time of Rebels, Maul still shows signs of instability, obsession, and fractured thinking. Do you think Talzin’s magic was more of a temporary fix rather than a true healing? Like maybe it stabilized him for a time, but over the years it started to fade, and his mind began slipping again; similar to how he was right after The Phantom Menace?

Curious what others think… was Maul ever truly “whole” again, or just held together?
