10 Underrated Star Wars Legends Characters That Deserve A Second Chance
2. Durge
Surprisingly, Durge has not already returned to the new canon. He is one of those characters that just screams cool factor. He was introduced in the same Clone Wars show as Fordo, and had a fair few comic appearances to boot.
His design alone should convince you enough of why he should make a comeback. He first appears leading a cavalry of droids on speeders wielding a lance and proceeds to give Obi-Wan and his troops a run for their money.
There is substance to his character however: a member of the Gen’Dai species, Durge is almost invincible as he can regenerate himself after sustaining injuries that would kill most beings. He is thousands of years old and utilises an array of weapons including blasters, flamethrowers, and energy shields. He holds a grudge against the Mandalorians as they were responsible for the death of his mentor.
Durge is effectively Star Wars’ answer to The Terminator. If this bounty hunter is on your tail, you are in serious trouble. He would best be suited to return in animated form. With news of the Bad Batch show releasing in 2021 it would be interesting to see Durge square off against them in a Predator style fashion.
