There are so many memorable characters from Star Wars games – we could easily list them all day! Think of the members of Delta Squad from Star Wars: Republic Commando, or the funny and brutal droid HK-47 from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. But generally, the most impactful original characters are the main heroes and villains whose stories drive the games themselves.
The movie Project Hail Mary continues to perform well at the box office.

The Netflix series Santa Clarita Diet first appeared on February 3, 2017. Created by Victor Fresco, it starred Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant as a couple whose ordinary life is turned upside down when Sheila unexpectedly returns from the dead as a zombie with a craving for human flesh. The show also featured Liv Hewson as their daughter, Abby, and Skyler Gisondo as Eric, a neighbor who becomes a key confidant as the Hammond family keeps increasingly dangerous secrets. Though centered around a zombie storyline, Santa Clarita Diet was really about a marriage that became more open, passionate, and risky after Sheila’s death freed her from social constraints. The horror-comedy ran for three seasons of ten episodes each – the second season arrived on March 23, 2018, and the third on March 29, 2019. Unfortunately, Netflix canceled the show just a month after the third season was released, intentionally leaving some plot threads unfinished.

However, when asked about potentially reprising the role, actor Andrew Starr seemed surprised. He told ComicBook he wasn’t sure why people were asking and joked that his only similarity to Wesker was his blonde hair, which he’s since dyed. He also pointed out he’s 50 years old, implying he’s too old for the part, despite Wesker being only 48 in the original story.
