A Force-being with a long lifespan should be used for more than narrating other characters’ stories. A little while ago, I reread through the entire collection of Age of Comics. The series collection of one-shots explored characters through the Republic, Rebellion, and Resistance Ages. The usuals were the characters that…

Let’s play the cameo game. — Tony Gilroy is not about Easter eggs, but there is a difference between an egg hunt that Filoni likes to play and cameos/appearances that make sense in the timeline. None of these characters are on the cast list, so there is a chance that none of them will appear. …
