Fan Casting 10 Popular Star Wars Expanded Universe Characters

3. Jason Momoa as Talon Karrde
Yes, that is Aquaman from the new Justice League movie you see above, but see how much he looks like Talon Karrde? Check out a comic book drawing of Karrde below, and you’ll see what I mean.
Uncanny, isn’t it? A bit of a trim and Aquaman, or rather Jason Momoa, would look exactly like the last character to round out the trifecta of Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire original cast. A savvy businessman (a smuggler is a businessman, right?) loyal to his friends, Karrde was the first to discover what would later become a major plot point for Thrawn, Mara, and the rest of the characters in Heir to the Empire: the Force-repellent ysalimiri. No Legends-to-film adaptation would be complete without him.
