10 Star Wars Expanded Universe Characters Who Deserve A Second Chance On Disney+

10. Vima Da Boda

A legacy character of the highest order, Vima Da Boda's family line goes all the way back to the legendary Jedi, Nomi Sunrider. Vima lost her daughter to the Dark Side, then almost lost herself to her lust of vengeance. Over time, her connection to the Force decreased, but did not fade away. It may have actually helped her survive.

Hiding from Order 66 on the streets of Nar Shadda, she met a young Han Solo and spoke to him of his future with the Rebellion. Later on, Han would return to Nar Shadda with a pregnant Leia Organa Solo in tow. There, she met Vima who gave the neophyte Jedi her first lightsaber and eventually became Leia's master.

Originally, Vima played a key role in helping Luke rebuild the Jedi Order in the wake of the purge. Much of the history she was a part of was lost when the Expanded Universe was exorcized but she could still play a role in the new continuity. Vima is an unassuming but important character.
