Star Wars Rise of Skywalker’s OTHER basic character you missed

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was filled with fan service and cameos from throughout the sequence, however there’s positively one you’ll have missed.

When Rey, Finn and Poe head to Kijimi to get C-3PO rebooted, they go to the Thieves’ Quarter with Zorii Bliss to see Babu Frik. It’s no Mos Eisley cantina, however there are a handful of dodgy people hanging on the market.

And one such particular person they stroll previous is a hunter utilizing the alias Rothgar Deng. This is him on the fitting, does he appear acquainted?

Some extra data on the hunter was launched in The Rise of Skywalker Visual Dictionary.

“Rothgar is an old and experienced Corellian bounty hunter, who is likely operating under an alias. He has been subjecting himself to cybernetic replacements in a poorly planned bid to live and work forever,” they clarify.

“As age began slowing his reflexes and dulling his senses, Rothgar turned to black-market surgical clinics to replace damaged or wizened body parts with ones that will give him an advantage in his dangerous trade. Poor decision making has led to a ghastly appearance.”

Ringing any bells but?

Rothgar Deng is the one and solely Dengar from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

Dengar was one of many bounty hunters, alongside Boba Fett, employed by Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back to search out the Millennium Falcon.

He solely had a short look in that film and in Return of the Jedi, however Dengar had an extended life in The Clone Wars sequence and numerous canon (and non-canon) Star Wars comedian books and novels.

Life has clearly been powerful on Dengar although and Rothgar Deng is unquestionably him, as confirmed (in a roundabout means) by StarWars.com.

“Like how Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba have been hinted at however by no means talked about outright within the Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide, we get hints right here of somebody we must know,” the part on Rothgar Deng reads.

“But I can’t seem to place a name to this now-hideous monstrosity of low-budget-augmentation who we might have seen during the Clone Wars and chasing the Millennium Falcon after Hoth. Deng it!”

We simply hope Dengar managed to get his cybernetic limbs off of Kijimi earlier than the planet was blown up by a Star Destroyer.

No quantity of augmentation would convey Dengar again from that.
