Lucasfilm has been successfully blending its existing characters in a way that both rewards longtime fans and introduces classic figures to new audiences. We can expect even more familiar faces in future projects. For example, the well-known character Rotta the Hutt will be featured in the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, and rumors suggest the dangerous assassin Asajj Ventress will appear in season two of Ahsoka. Even without considering these upcoming appearances, many characters who first appeared in animated Star Wars series have already made the jump to live-action.

I’m talking about Highguard, the hero shooter that unfortunately failed after only 45 days. Several things worked against it – it launched right after the 2025 Game Awards, and players quickly stopped playing.

Interestingly, Highguard’s struggles might actually help other games avoid the same problems in the future.
