Re: Names Of All Star Wars Characters
Towanda Tuning
This incomplete list of characters from the Star Wars franchise contains only those which are considered part of the official Star Wars canon, as of the changes made by Lucasfilm in April 2014. Following its acquisition by The Walt Disney Company in 2012, Lucasfilm rebranded most of the novels, comics, video games and other works produced since the originating 1977 film Star Wars as Star Wars Legends and declared them non-canon to the rest of the franchise.[1][2][3] As such, the list contains only information from the Skywalker Saga films, the 2008 animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and other films, shows, or video games published or produced after April 2014.
The list includes humans and various alien species. No droid characters are included; for those, see the list of Star Wars droid characters. Some of the characters featured in this list have additional or alternate plotlines in the non-canonical Legends continuity. To see those or characters who do not exist at all in the current Star Wars canon, see the list of Star Wars Legends characters and list of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic characters.

In the fourth draft of The Empire Strikes Back, Bossk was written as a slimy, tentacled monster with two huge bloodshot eyes in a soft baggy face.[10] Concept art of Bossk was drawn by artist Ralph McQuarrie in either late 1978 or early 1979.[11]
The head, feet, and arms of the character were recycled from the Mos Eisley cantina scene in A New Hope and sculpted by make-up artist Stuart Freeborn.[11] The outfit used for the character was a High-Altitude Windak Pressure Suit used by the Royal Air Force in the 1960s and was recycled from the 1966 Doctor Who serial The Tenth Planet.[12][13] An insignia was applied to the shoulder of the costume to give the appearance that Bossk was a part of an "organized unit."[11] His weapon was made from a Webley-Schermuly Riot gun with various add-ons.[14]
Bossk is mentioned in Solo: A Star Wars Story, when Val complains to her husband Tobias Beckett about hiring Han Solo and Chewbacca instead of experienced mercenaries such as Bossk.[15] In earlier drafts, Bossk was written in as a member of the Enfys Nest's Cloud Riders who abandons her at the end of movie. Screenwriter Jonathan Kasdan "fought long and hard" to include this in Solo but was overruled.[16]

He along with Grand Admiral Thrawn went deep into space going missing. It wouldn't be after the fall of the Empire and the Rise of the New Republic when Ezra was finally found by Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren and was able to make it back home.
