    Hello Cantina mates!

    Just out of the blue I was thinking about the criminal organizations we got to see in TFA (the Guavian Death Gang, Kanjiklub) and I was wondering first if we'd see any lingering Hutts at all in this new trilogy. But that took me back to Bloodline, where it mentions the uprising organization created by Rinnrivin Di, the Nikto crime cartel who is disrupting Ryloth's offworld trade, and was aiming to break his people free of Hutt domination.

    Do you think we will see at all any other criminal organizations? Ducain? The Irving Boys maybe?

    Please discuss.

    I wondered about that myself. You know some of them are probably financing the First Order, or the Resistance (Word was that the Hutts did both with the Empire and the Rebellion depending on their needs). It might just be an element they put in the books, but tell that to Kanjiklub.

    LOL. I see what you did there.

    I was just wondering about it, since I recall Claudia Gray mentioning there were some elements that Rian Johnson influenced in her book.

    I don't know about crime lords, but I would love to see Niktos and other familiar Star Wars aliens in Episode VIII.
    Many of the new ones in TFA just looked like off-brand versions of species we'd seen in the other movies.

    It would be interesting to see them in the movies only if they have an important role to play in them. A short cameo wouldn't do them any justice, really. Otherwise, I'd be interested in a short (5-6 issues type) comic series featuring any of these criminal organizations, either as antagonists or protagonists.
    TADAAAAAA!

    Who are these mysterious Bothans? Let's see some Bothans! (I know that will never happen).

    As much as I would enjoy learning more about criminals and gangs in the GFFA, I do not think that we will see much of them in the episodic movies, especially now that everybody's favorite smuggler is no longer around. Lando is still scheming somewhere, but the saga movies involve the force. However, I would love if we could get a netflix or hbo series about the GFFA's underworld.

    Han probably died owing half the galaxy money. They could come for Chewie, or try to steal the Falcon, or come after next of kin. They are probably supporting characters in the war, look at The Clone Wars cartoons, there were a lot of that kind of thing in there.

    Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

    Yaaay. Mandalorians would be a good thing to see, 30 years after the Galactic Civil War.

    I think they should just expand on the line of succession of the MF through Ducain and co as a small side plot involving unkar plutt before introducing new ones because TFA introduced so many new characters as it is.

    if anything i think crime syndicates and various aliens associated with them will be portrayed in the Solo film, or maybe another spin-off in the future.

    i think if anything the Solo film will be a great insight on this side of the GFFA. we'll probably even have Jabba as a character! (gamorrean) (no Jabba emoticon?? sacrilege!)

    @PrincessLeiaCB3 shouldn't be supporting it. Has she forgotten what the scum did to one of her mother's friend and most loyal supporters?!

    That would be interesting to see for sure. I definitely do find myself wondering about what story pointers were given to Claudia Gray by Rian Johnson. I could see criminal cartels making an appearance of some sort given the dire straits that the Resistance will find themselves in. Who knows what shady organisations they may look to for help.

    The Niktos though appreciate her ability to kill hutts.

    Especially since the Republic remnants have no money to fund her campaign now. All their remaining finances would most likely be directed towards bolstering each planet's measly defences.

    I'd wish to see those blokes trying to get his son or the Princess to pay Han Solo's debts LOL. (Yeah I know nobody knows Kylo is Ben - or used to be - but it would be funny. A lot of Force-choking for Kylo lol!

    To be able to fight for freedom and justice of the galaxy, we do not judge one individual for the wrongdoings done by others from the same planet or kind. Sabine Wren is Mandalorian too, for example and she was one of the finest Rebels!
