8. Hondo Ohnaka
Although he hasn’t been flying an X-Wing, by any means, Hondo Ohnaka has been a valuable ally to the Rebellion in taking down the Empire throughout the Star Wars story.
The smuggler now has a prominent role at the Disney Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge theme park on the Smuggler’s Run ride, so we have also technically seen him in live-action already in that respect.
But an on-screen role in live-action has never been done before for Hondo, whose inclusion in The Mandalorian has always made a lot of sense.
This is precisely the kind of story Hondo would be part of with all of the bounty hunters, smuggling, and activity going on under the table, it would almost be surprising if Hondo didn’t have some kind of role throughout The Mandalorian, especially since we know and it has been confirmed that he’s alive and well at this point in the timeline.
Maybe Hondo and Mando already have some kind of history together we don’t yet know about.
