Darth Vader Faces Deadliest 'Star Wars' Creature Yet
The Star Wars galaxy is full of a lot of monstrous creatures. The dianoga from the garbage smasher from the original film looks comparatively quaint compared to the gigantic exogorth (or "space slug") in the asteroid belt in The Empire Strikes Back. And as we come to find out in The Phantom Menace, "There's always a bigger fish." On television, we have seen the Godzilla-inspired Zillo Beast in The Clone Wars animated series and the sandworm-esque Krayt Dragon in The Mandalorian live-action series. And the creatures do not just remain in the onscreen media; they extend to other materials as well, such as the comics.

There Is Reportedly A 'Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic' In Development, But It Isn't From EA Or Bioware. Top Story - January 2021.
When it comes to Star Wars video games, one that many fans want to see have a resurgence, whether it be in the form of a video game remake or an adaptation for film or television, is 2003's Knights of the Old Republic.

The names of some of the game's characters, especially the Sith, have become staples of Star Wars lore conversations. The game was so well received that some of those who played it express that they want to see some sort of return to it in our modern era, perhaps even a remake that would be considered canon instead of Legends. Some bits of the lore have even made their way into the animated series Star Wars Rebels and the visual dictionary for Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.
