8 Star Wars Characters Who Are Master Manipulators

These Star Wars characters have managed to get what they want not through strength in combat, but by powers of manipulation.

As such, a plethora of characters, both scary and fun, have been introduced to new stories set in various parts of the Star Wars timeline. However, this can come at a cost to older characters, as their stories get left unfinished, and fans wonder what became of them since their last appearance. As such, many promising characters have seemingly vanished from Star Wars continuity, with no apparent explanation.

7 Figrin D’an

First Appearance: Star Wars: Episode 4 – A New Hope

Star Wars cantina band episode IV A New Hope Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes

Release Date: 1977-05-25
Director: George Lucas
Rating: 8.6/10
Runtime: 121 minutes

This Bith musician, leader of his band the "Modal Nodes", quickly became one of the original trilogy’s most iconic minor characters. His band plays the iconic background music during the famous Mos Eisley Cantina scene in A New Hope. However, Figrin has not appeared in any other films or canon on-screen media since, despite his apparent popularity.

Despite his minor role, the Bith has left an impact on the franchise via his incredibly well-known music. Though he became a playable character in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, he and his band could’ve easily appeared in series like The Book of Boba Fett.

6 Korkie Kryze

First Appearance: Star Wars: The Clone Wars – S3E6 (The Academy)

Release Date: 2010-11-10
Director: Giancarlo Volpe
Rating: 6.9/10
Runtime: 23 minutes

A young cadet, Korkie was introduced as the nephew of Duchess Satine Kryze, and he played an important role in solving the food shortage crisis in Mandalore. Under Ahsoka Tano’s leadership, Korkie and his friends discovered it was due to the Prime Minister’s shady dealings with criminals. This wouldn't be the only strong impression that the character made, as fans quickly began to speculate that Korkie was not actually the nephew of Satine, but instead, the secret son between her and Obi-Wan Kenobi, as the two had a tragic love story long before Obi-Wan became a Jedi Master, and Korkie and Obi-Wan share some striking similarities.

Korkie continued to prove his bravery after the takeover of Mandalore by Pre Vizsla of Death Watch and Darth Maul, with Vizsla imprisoning the former Duchess Satine. Korkie stages a bold rescue attempt. Unfortunately, it goes awry, and the cadet is ambushed. It's unclear if he perished or was simply imprisoned, but so far this is Korkie’s last appearance. Yet, with speculation running wild, is this forgotten son of Mandalore's story over?

5 Enfys Nest

First Appearance: Solo: A Star Wars Story

Release Date: 2018-05-25
Director: Ron Howard
Rating: 6.9/10
Runtime: 135 minutes

A skilled resistance fighter, Enfys Nest was the leader of the "Cloud-Riders". This rebel group fought against Crimson Dawn, Darth Maul’s crime syndicate established during the Clone Wars. Enfys was only sixteen when she was forced to take her mother’s role as leader of the group and wear her iconic set of armor. With her identity concealed, she sought personal revenge against Crimson Dawn, for terrorizing her home planet.

Star Wars: 8 Alien Languages and How They Were Created

In a galaxy filled with different alien species, Star Wars features multiple interesting alien languages, each with its own history and creation.

In the movie, the Cloud-Riders meet Beckett and his crew, which includes Han Solo. After revealing her true motives and identity, Solo is moved and changes his allegiance, deciding to double-cross Dryden Vos and help her instead. Enfys Nest was known for her strong sense of justice, with the Cloud-Riders considered a faction of the Rebellion. As such, she could’ve made an appearance in the first season of Andor, but unfortunately didn’t.

4 Lux Bonteri

First Appearance: Star Wars: The Clone Wars – S3 E10 (Heroes On Both Sides)

Release Date: 2010-12-18
Director: Kyle Dunlevy
Rating: 7.5/10
Runtime: 23 minutes

The son of the unfortunate senator Mina Bonteri, Lux realized it was Count Dooku who eliminated her after discovering her peace proposal with the Republic. After seeking revenge on Dooku, Lux was eventually caught up in the planet Onderon’s struggle against the Separatists. An ally of Saw Gerrera, he eventually becomes the Senator of Onderon, promising to bring the planet “back to the Republic.”

However, he hasn’t been seen again on-screen. Lux could’ve been referenced or appeared alongside Saw, or the Imperial Senate, in media like Rogue One or Andor. The senator is featured in the novel Star Wars Battlefront 2: Inferno Squad, but this also leaves his whereabouts a mystery. He’s not apparently killed but gets stunned, however his body disappears.

3 Temiri Blagg

First Appearance: Star Wars: Episode 8 – The Last Jedi

Broom Boy on Canto Bight at the end of The Last Jedi

Release Date: 2017-12-15
Director: Rian Johnson
Rating: 6.9/10
Runtime: 152 minutes

A degree of mystery surrounds this child, first seen in the stables on the planet Cantonica. Belonging to a group of abandoned street children, Blagg looks after the fathiers; large-eared animals used for racing. During the film’s events, the boy meets Finn and Rose, and helps them escape the planet. Rose gives him her Resistance ring.

However, he’s also shown to have Jedi abilities. The last scene of the movie focuses on him, which highlights how he could have great potential. Since his appearance though, Temiri Blagg has yet to have another role in additional media set before or after The Last Jedi, despite the abilities he has. This is consistent with most Star Wars content from the Sequel Trilogy, with characters and themes since unexplored and forgotten, perhaps for better or worse depending on how people view the controversial film trilogy.

2 Lobot

First Appearance: Star Wars: Episode 5 – The Empire Strikes Back

Lobot Star Wars Original Trilogy Unused Characters Concepts

Release Date: 1980-05-17
Director: Irvin Kershner
Rating: 8.7/10
Runtime: 124 minutes

A close friend and aide of Lando Calrissian, Lobot is a recognizable character despite his brief appearance. He has the ability to communicate with Cloud City’s central computer system, due to the device attached to the back of his head. Following Calrissian’s orders to galvanize the city’s forces to fight the Stormtroopers, he doesn’t reappear in the movie. The scene of his capture by the Stormtroopers was deleted from the film.

Lobot has a solid presence in comic books but had the possibility to appear in Return of the Jedi. However, this was also scrapped. Similarly, Lobot could’ve returned with Lando in The Rise of Skywalker, as it's unclear if he’d died by then or not.

1 Sebulba

First Appearance: Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace

Release Date: 1999-05-16
Director: George Lucas
Rating: 6.5/10
Runtime: 136 minutes

The skillful, albeit notorious Podracer had quite a presence in The Phantom Menace, wherein he sabotaged Anakin’s pod and was furious when the boy won the race. Years later, Sebulba’s main rival was Ben Quadinaros, as seen in cameos in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, wherein the two racers are depicted on posters. The arrogant racer was also in a comic, shown to have taken up a new sport: battle racing.

Star Wars: 6 Best Planets To Live On

Star Wars houses thousands of interesting planets within the galaxy far, far away. Yet, which would be the nicest to live on?

Despite this, Sebulba doesn’t feature in any on-screen shows or other films. He could’ve had the potential to meet Anakin again upon the Padawan's return to Tatooine in Attack of the Clones. The Book of Boba Fett is also set in the town of Mos Espa, and seeing that Sebulba was still alive five years prior, at the time of Return of the Jedi, he could’ve featured in the series.
