A smuggler who accidentally gets caught up in the affairs of Project Blackwing. They're not interested in the grand battles between good and evil at first, but as they learn more about the project, they find themselves in a position where they have to choose a side and use their skills to either help or hinder the progress of those involved with Project Blackwing.
A scientist who was involved in Project Blackwing from the start could be a main character. They might have a change of heart and try to stop the project.
One idea could be exploring the origin of Project Blackwing. Maybe it was a secret experiment by the Empire to create super - soldiers. Another could be a story about a rogue agent who discovers the truth behind Project Blackwing and tries to expose it to the galaxy.
Maybe a smuggler. Smugglers have always been an interesting part of the Star Wars universe. They often get caught up in bigger events and have their own set of skills and motives. So a new smuggler character could be a main character in the new story.
A character could start as a healthy and confident person, but once infected with the Blackwing virus, they gradually become more paranoid and desperate. Their physical and mental decline due to the virus could be a way to show their transformation and the harsh reality of the virus's effects.
There is a possibility that it's a team of soldiers. In Star Wars, soldiers are often deployed to different planets, and their landings can be a significant part of the story. They might face unexpected challenges during the landing and have to fight their way out once they touch down.
Perhaps a brave Jedi who has a special connection to the dune sea. It could be someone who can use the Force in unique ways related to the sandy environment.
Darth Maul could be a great character. His unique appearance and his thirst for power would make him an interesting addition to a Sith harem. He could be the enforcer, using his double - bladed lightsaber to protect the group.
A young, tech - savvy orphan who has a natural ability with the Force but doesn't know it yet. They could be living on a war - torn planet and get discovered by a wandering Jedi. Another could be a grizzled veteran of some other conflict who decides to join the fight in the Shadow Wars for personal reasons.
A young inventor could be a main character. He is full of new ideas and is trying to make Star City a better place with his inventions.
Perhaps the virus was created by an ancient Sith as a weapon, but it got out of control. A Jedi Knight discovers the origin of the virus and has to embark on a journey to find a way to stop it. Along the way, he has to face his own inner demons and resist the dark side that the virus seems to enhance in some way.
A young dreamer could be a main character. This person is always looking at the stars and has a big imagination. They are the one who first makes the wish upon a star and sets the story in motion.
