10 Minor Star Wars Characters Whose Stories Must Be Told
1. Zuckuss
Zuckuss is emblematic of the countless Star Wars minor characters who imply the worlds beyond the movies - strange planets, species and ways of life barely hinted at. He is one of the freakish bounty hunters hired by Darth Vader to locate Luke Skywalker's friends and the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back.
This much-celebrated scene gave us Boba Fett, but unlike the galaxy's most celebrated Kiwi, Zuckuss has never been seen on screen again. Even his species is left obscure in the movie series.
Zuckuss' story would help illuminate more of the galaxy's darkest, weirder corners. His life is one lived in the shadows, selling death to whoever is paying for it.
His world is a universe away from the clean-cut good and evil of the Rebel Alliance and the corridors of Imperial power. Even a sojourn in Jabba's scum-filled palace would be living the high life for a lifelong bounty hunter. This grimier side of Star Wars was hinted at in Rogue One, but the story of a creature like Zuckuss would show what the galaxy's sharp end is really like, and what weird people and things lurk in its unseen corners.
