Remember when we mentioned Isard a few entries ago? She’d be another fascinating, Gideon-esque foil to Din, too. The head of Imperial Intelligence at the time of Palpatine’s death, Ysanne Isard established a coup against Grand Vizier Sate Pestage and the Imperial Ruling Council to pretty much lord over Coruscant herself, the face of the Imperial Remnant. A major enemy of Rogue Squadron in the EU, she’d be a great character to bring back as a rival to Din that leans on Gideon’s own status as an Intelligence agent—perhaps he was one of her closest commanders or something, to give her that personal connection worth seeking a lone Mandalorian out for?
