Which Characters Would You Most Like To See Brought To Live Action

So with the new canon we've been getting characters from the animated series, novels, and comics brought over into the live action shows. So I was wondering which characters from the Disney era who have not appeared in live action yet, would you like to see brought to one of the live action shows?
For me the biggest would be Dr. Aphra, she's a really fun character, and I would love to see her pop up on one of the shows. She's been one of the big breakout characters in comics, and
I also wouldn't mind seeing Iden Versio, Gideon Hask, and Del Meeko from the Battlefront II campaign, and with them they have the advantage of having already cast actors who's voices and likeness were used for the characters in the game, so it be an easy transition. There's a pretty big gap between the Battle of Jakku to right around the beginning of the sequel trilogy where we don't know what they did, so there's plenty of time for them to pop up on one of The Mandalorian era shows.
With the direction that they seem to be going with the Ahsoka series, I think it's pretty much inevitable we'll see Ezra and Thrawn at some point. And I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for a Hera appearance.
 
I would like to see a lot of Legends characters brought over. Some that come to mind:
Mara Jade Skywalker
Ben Skywalker
Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo
Yuuzhan Vong (all of them)
Dician
Exar Kun, Dace Diath and other Tales of the Jedi characters
Darth Bane
Darth Zannah
Darth Krayt, Darth Talon, basically, all the One Sith
Wouldn't mind seeing something done with the Lost Tribe of Sith as well, and the Old Republic Jedi and Sith, like Darth Malgus
The characters from Knights of the Old Republic games and comic
 
I think at this point, unless they reboot everything back to Return of the Jedi, which they will not do, the Solos and Skywalkers are pretty much impossible.
Didn't we see Bane in the Clones Wars arc where Yoda went on his little walkabout?
 
We saw a shadow of Bane. Legacy era Sith are more or less improbable currently, unless they use them as ancient Sith or that do a massive leap forward, which will cast light on what Rey did on the subject of future Force users and the Jedi.

Mara Jade could still exist as a character, but there would be vast differences with what happens.
 
I wonder if we might eventually get a live action Hera at some point. So far, outside of Rebels, she's appeared in comics, novels, and a video game, so that pretty much leaves a live action movie or series as the only place she hasn't shown up yet.
 
It would mean recasting, obviously, but I'd like to see Wedge Antilles in some form or fashion. I guess this kind of counts since they did have him in Rebels.
 
Dave Filoni initially wanted to make remake Starkiller as an Inquisitor in Rebels, but decided against it because it would require really scaling down who he was in the EU, and he also didn't fit the story they were telling.
 
Captain Rex. Have him team up with Boba Fett for an episode or two.

And Asajj Ventress. Though I understand she died during the Clone Wars in one of the books or something. Maybe it could be a flashback scene.

None that we haven't already seen really.

If pressed, a version of Mara Jade. And Ventress (who really must be alive).

With a gun to my head, I'd add Hera and Ezra. Which would probably entail Thrawn.

In response to an earlier comment, never the Yuuzhan Vong - they finished me with the old EU.

She's dead, died in the canon novel 'Dark Disciple'.

Thrawn is probably going to be in the Ahsoka show, considering what we saw her doing in Mando Season 2.
And since the last time we saw Ezra he was with Thrawn, well...

There were preliminary ideas to bring the Vong into Clone Wars, but they would been heavily adapted for the show, for example they wouldn't have been outside of the force, because George said that was impossible. And since Clone Wars was for slightly younger audience, I doubt it would have been as dark.

The premise was doing a classic alien abduction story, with a group of Clones being abducted.

Hmm, I thought Clone Wars got rather grim and intense at times, though I never read the novels with the Yuuzhan Vong, so I'm not sure how dark those got. In comparison, "Rebels" was definitely for a younger audience than CW.
