    Well as we know, TLJ is upon us. Since The Force Awakens RE-AWAKENED the world of Star Wars, we've seen several characters from the old EU that have been brought into the light of SW canon.

    As sad as it made me (I was pulling for Mara Jade), we witnessed the canon-birth of the genius Chiss tactician...THRAWN. While he shared the top of the list of fan fav's to become canon, we then seemed to get a few (as I like to call them) incidentals, or "filler characters", planets, and more, from the EU.

    Even if we want to argue the point, there's always our favorite Ren, Ben "Skywalker" Solo that KIND OF crossed over, but the big question begs to be answered:

    Is that it...are there more...(and/or) is it over for characters that we read about 20 (or more) years ago???

    I think so. Especially in novels and comics. I wouldn't be surprised if you see some Old Republic characters back in movies post episode 9

    I am kind of bummed that there isn't a Mara Jade (or someone else that takes her place) in the ST. It's sad knowing Luke didn't have a love interest yet that we are aware of. Would of been cool if Jyn some how made it out alive and her and Luke hitched up at some point.

    I'm sure they will, but still something wish we could see on the big screen. Or at least Luke gives a name drop on big screen would make me happy.

    As far as I know it hasn't been ruled out. All it will take is Luke mentioning his family or lost loved ones and BAM. Door swings wide open.
    And maybe it leads to a Mara Jade spin off film culminating with her meeting Luke.

    I love to see Mara Jade, Revan and Bastila in a old republic series. Plus more than enough fan favorites like HK-47 hehe. Meatbags lol

    after seeing how much ppl loved K-2SO in Rogue one... imagine the popularity of HK-47 if they got him onto the big screen!

    He could theoretically even be in the ST. The beauty of being a droid!

    Yeah, the Tag and Bink thing kinda already answers this question, but if we're to see more I'd say the precedent is at least set. I like the idea of reimagined characters- maybe Luke doesn't know Mara Jade yet even, for instance, but encounters her in epIX where she still believes she serves the Empire.
