The Top 5 Things We Want To See In The New Star Wars Trilogy

4. Monsters!

On every Star Wars planet exists many weird and wonderful beasts.  As amazing to observe as they are, many will tear you to shreds as soon as look at you.  Just take Jabba The Hutt’s snarling, dribbling Rancor (pictured above) or the vicious, horned and white-fur clad wampa on the ice planet Hoth.  There are also creatures that are so dangerous that they are used as the main process of executing wayward citizens.  These include the ancient and hazardous Sarlacc pit monster to the trio of bloodthirsty creatures in the Geonosian gladiatorial arena, the brutish Reek, the Acklay with its mantis-like appendages and the lithe, feline Nexu.

Conversely, some are much more placid and simply used to traverse the more inhospitable terrain of certain planets.  One such example is Obi Wan’s veractyl, part bird, part lizard, from Episode II: Attack Of The Clones.  Another is the shaggy, docile bantha used by the sand people or the storm trooper-ridden reptilian dewback both located on the dry, barren planet Tatooine.

In essence, Star Wars fans want to see more of these fantastic critters whether they are cuddly, small and furry or muscular, teeth-gnashing killing machines.
