10 Star Wars Expanded Universe Characters Who Deserve A Second Chance On Disney+

During the era of the Galactic Republic, few Jedi were as legendary or respected as Nomi Sunrider. This was due in no small part to the fact that she was apparently one of the rare Jedi who didn't switch to the Dark Side. That being said, she did face more than a few such people during her life.

Nomi played a huge role in Great Sith War, an attempt to stall the rise in power of Exar Kun. She personally took out his apprentice, Ulic Qel-Droma, yet another Jedi wooed to the Dark Side. Nomi used her abilities to permanently sever his connection to the Force, leaving him powerless. This was the beginning of the end for the Sith in that era.

The reality is that the story of Nomi Sunrider is the history of the Jedi Order. With the vast majority of the Expanded Universe being culled and left behind, that history has been lost and has yet to have a significant replacement installed. Bringing back Nomi and her adventures would play a key role in fleshing that out once again.
