Why We Could See Black Krrsantan In the 'Obi-Wan' Disney+ Series
Would You Like The Warrior Wookiee To Show Up?
With an ever-expanding Star Wars Universe, characters, both old and new, are introduced into the latest installments of all the new Disney+ shows. With the newest upcoming show being Obi-Wan, fans can expect some cameos from some of their favorite characters from the Clone Wars era and possibly from the other Disney+ shows as well. One character that may ring a bell with a lot of fans as of recently is the Wookiee, Black Krrsantan.
Black Krrsantan, within live-action, was introduced during Episode 2 of The Book of Boba Fett. Krssantan has deep roots within the comic run Doctor Aphra, with multiple other run-ins with characters like Boba Fett and Obi-Wan. Black Krrsantan and Obi-Wan have a comic book connection that many hope can be brought into the live-action realm because of how truly awesome the scene is. Hoping to bring these two together on the big screen would be unparalleled for comic book fans, and another win for the Star Wars Universe.

In Star Wars Issue #20, Krssantan and Obi-Wan have their initial duel over the life of Owen Lars. In this comic issue specifically, Obi-Wan was keeping a close eye on Luke, who, unannounced to Owen, had run away with intentions of leaving the planet. Krrsantan and Obi-Wan dealt blows to each other with each seemingly gaining the upper hand throughout different points of the fight. Krrsantan showed off his iconic electric knuckles on Obi-Wan alongside his blaster and net that were seen in Book of Boba Fett.
When it seemingly looked like Krrsantan was about to win the battle, after sending Owen Lars over the side of the mountain and delivering a massive blow to Obi-Wan, a young Luke comes out of seemingly nowhere to save the day and rescue Owen from falling off the mountain top. Catching Krrsantan off guard, Obi-Wan sees a moment to strike and lunges forward with a lightsaber attack. Almost reversing the position that Owen was in, we see Krrsantan falling off the same mountain, cast down by the Jedi Master. Krrsantan was forced to flee Tatooine to escape the wrath of Jabba the Hutt over the failed mission.
Due to this recent connection in the comics, it is entirely possible these two meetup in Obi-Wan Kenobi. One thing that is important to note though, for comic fans, the live-action Krrsantan may be somewhat different than the comic book arc that we received. We were able to see a different side of Black Krrsantan within the Book of Boba Fett and definitely somewhat of a character change, as he has now "joined the good guys" in a sense. Fighting alongside the Mandalorian, Boba Fett, and Fennec Shand was awesome to see in live-action, but could also foreshadow a possible retcon to the comic battle of Obi and Krrsantan. Regardless, viewers would still love to see more of Krrsantan, whether in Obi-Wan or a Season 2 of Book of Boba Fett.

Human Evolution and Climate Change
The Question An oft asked question relates to how humans and every other species on the planet will or will not adapt to the new environmental conditions that climate change will quite probably (and arguably already has) impose across much of the globe. For other species the answer is fairly obvious, they will either adapt or they will perish. As has been the case throughout all of earth’s history, evolution through natural selection requires that those with the traits that are best adapted to reproduce will do so and so pass them on, especially when pressed by changes in the environment. Many argue that the changes we are seeing or will soon see as a result of climate change are occurring too rapidly for many species to adapt. In essence that evolution cannot keep up with the pace of change. Mutations simply cannot occur frequently enough to supply a wide enough variety of phenotypes of different varieties to allow for at least one that can survive the new conditions any given species may find itself in. Rapid changes are the hardest for the longest lived (excluding microorganisms), and slowest reproducing creatures to deal with, and they face the greatest threat of massive population decrease or even extinction. I happen to think that adaptation can happen much faster than is typically believed, but am not naïve enough to think that even a greatly accelerated adaptation or mutation process will be enough to save all or even most animal species from the threat of habitat loss or change brought about by global warming.

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
