Expanded Universe characters

If Sam Witwer’s suspicion is right then this would not be the first time that Disney has introduced a character from the old Expanded Universe as a part of the new official canon. Apart from this, the classic villains Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress and Grand Admiral Thrawn have also appeared as antagonists in the animated shows previously. Fans also say that Kylo Ren also shares many similarities with Darth Caedus, who is the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia. It is said that Starkiller’s identity was the same as George Lucas.
