Star Wars 7: 10 Supporting Characters Who Should Cameo

5. Wicket

There are zero reasons why we shouldn't have Wicket in the new films. After all, Warwick Davis is still an active actor (who has shown an interest in returning to the Star Wars world, having performed three separate roles in The Phantom Menace), Return of the Jedi ends on Endor, and it's a logical jump to assume that the Ewoks would maintain a relationship with their newfound friends, especially Wicket, who was a particular favorite of our main trio. Maybe Wicket could serve as an ambassador for the moon world in the New Republic - we tend to doubt that the Ewoks are well-represented in government. More to the point, Wicket was adorable, and no matter your opinion on the Ewoks as a species, he deserves to at least have a few seconds of screen time in the new films. Can't you just picture him in a little ambassador's ceremonial sash? This is Disney, after all - do you really think they would miss out on that merchandising opportunity?
