8 Elements Of The Star Wars Expanded Universe That Need To Be Canon

4. Boba Fett Escaping The Sarlacc

Now this one's super-duper obvious. If Boba Fett, one of the most popular Star Wars characters ever, isn't revealed to have survived his encounter with the Sarlacc in the Great Pitt of Carkoon like he did in the Legends continuity, then it's hats and shoes on the menu. In addition to a rumoured appearance in Rogue One, the constant speculation of a Boba Fett spinoff movie has been so prevalent that they're now hard to ignore. It seems almost certain that the Mandalorian armour clad hunter will be showing up again soon, and why not take him into new territory and set it post-Jedi? This is also probably the only instance on this list where Disney literally have no choice; Fett is so popular among fans that there will probably be mass riots (online, of course) if he isn't somehow revealed to still be out there doing what he does best: hunting bounties.
