To do this, we will narrow them down into three categories and an additional “curious case” category.

Every Stormtrooper Variant And Their Role In The Empire (Part 2)
Imperial Heavy Troopers Imperial heavy troopers do get their own spot on the list because they actually have some major differences from the other heavy trooper variants despite the fact that there is little info on them. They wear bulkier armor than other heavy troopers, and they are typically armed with electrostaffs. The bulkier armor seems to suggest that it would provide more protection and allow them to hit harder. Their melee focus also seems to suggest that they typically fight in close proximities. However, that is all speculation as there is no information that can confirm or deny this. Still, they are a unique part of the Empire.

Where Could Qi'ra Return Again?
Solo: A Star Wars Story, in my opinion, is in a category of its own making. It is a favorite of mine due to its unique direction and refreshing ideas away from the heavy-hitting events of the main storyline, much like how the future project titled The Acolyte could be. I think the origin of Han was done well and I wish we would get to see Alden Ehrenreich play the smuggler again (we won't, however, as Lucasfilm just announced this week that they are straying away from recasting iconic characters). That is not who I am here to talk about. The question that has been on my mind since I first saw Solo has always been "When will we see Qi'ra again?"
