7. POP Star Wars: Rogue One – K-2SO:

K-2SO from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was easily one of the more popular characters from the film. From his smart-aleck attitude to his hilarious one-liners, Kaytoo quickly became one of the most beloved droids in Star Wars history.

Author Timothy Zahn is back with the blue-skinned Chiss that we all missed, Grand Admiral Thrawn. If you’ve read Heir to the Empire and you think you can skip this book because you think it’s a retelling of that story, then think again.
