Sidon Ithano!
This one’s for all you Deep Canon lovers out there. The trailer suggests that we are going to be (re)introduced to pirate Sidon Ithano, AKA the Crimson Corsair, AKA the Blood Buccaneer, AKA the Red Raider, whom we got the briefest of glimpse of in Star Wars: The Force Awakens at Maz Kanata’s cantina. But his most well-known exploits to date can be found in the short story “The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku”, which sees the Delphidian raiding a downed ship for Kyber crystals (which are the core of lightsabers) belonging to the sith lord Count Dooku, AKA Darth Tyranus (played by Christopher Lee in the Prequels). What part might this pirate – and his desire for kyber crystals – have to play in this scenario?
