Okay, so, ever since we first got that cast photo last year. I kept thinking mustache man could possibly be Biggs. BUT, now that I’ve seen him in motion, something’s just tugging at me that he could be KYLE KATARN. If they did THAT my heart might explode.
My reasoning being, Kyle has always been tied pretty closely with the retrieval of the Death Star plans. I think his story was the first to depict it. Subsequently, a few years ago when they created a new game starring a female lead who then steals the plans, they also threw Kyle Katarn in the game so that he was still involved in some capacity. If they make Kyle Katarn canon, in a FILM no less, I would be the luckiest boy in the world!
Although I’m personally not too ken on Kyle appearing in the DisneyEU, I’m not trying to make a serious counter argument or anything, I just find this picture funny.
However, you could be right, I mean this film already has a Grad Admiral in it (he’s even dressed like Thrawn) and the new lead character’s name sound oddly similar to Jan Ors. And if he’s not Katarn, it’s very likely that he’s inspired by him.
