Elia Kane
It would honestly be a bit of a wild move to make the villain of your big movie a supporting character from a couple of episodes of the streaming show it’s based on, but hey: if Ysanne Isard is a way to deal with the shadow of Moff Gideon’s death by re-introducing a classic legacy character from the EU, Katy O’Brien’s Elia Kane would be a way to do that with an already established face—and one with personal interest in wanting to go up against Din and Grogu. Plus, it’d help pare back the stakes of Din’s world a bit again to make his “big bad” a former minor character. Maybe not what you want to hear for what is now going to be the first Star Wars theatrical release in seven years, but it’d be nice to sort of tone down Din and Grogu’s importance to the galaxy and tell smaller stories again.
