10 Minor Star Wars Characters Whose Stories Must Be Told

The battle at Maz's castle in The Force Awakens is sparked when the First Order learns the location of the gang of rag-tag heroes and their adorable volleyball-like droid. This information is relayed to them by a spy, whose blink-and-you'll-miss-it role demands further exploration. The depths to which both sides of this war will sink could be illustrated by a glimpse into the world of an undercover agent in the employ of the First Order.

This winsome spy's first appearance is in the arms of a hulking alien creature with whom she lounges like a gangster's moll, at first glance serving as no more than eye candy. Clearly, our spy is more than willing to use sex appeal to infiltrate the closed, secretive world of Maz's associates.

There is no telling what she has done to serve her masters in the First Order. Is it just money that drives her, or does she have some personal reason to give so much of herself to the First Order's cause? Hers is a tale of secrets, betrayal, and the sense of self, as her very identity comes under threat from the pressures of working undercover.
