Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
For a character who appeared in just one 20-minute short, Star Wars: Visions’ female Jedi Lop has left a positive impression on many fans. The problem? Lucasfilm seems content to leave her exactly where she started — in a one-off, beautiful, and tragically underutilized tale.
Let’s be honest. “Lop & Ochō” didn’t just work — it soared. The emotional tension between Lop, her adoptive sister Ochō, and their father echoed some of Star Wars’ most classic familial rifts. Add in the backdrop of Imperial oppression and the moral weight of loyalty versus rebellion, and you’ve got the ingredients of a saga, not just a short.
Yet after that single episode, Lop vanished from the spotlight.

Meanwhile, the Star Wars content machine has continued churning out stories centered around the same few faces — Luke, Mando, Rey. There’s nothing wrong with those characters, but the franchise’s universe is vast. It’s time to stop mining nostalgia and start cultivating the future. Lop could — and should — be part of that.
Beyond being a compelling protagonist, Lop represents something rarely seen in central Star Wars roles: she’s non-human. The Lepi — a rarely explored species — adds visual flair and narrative richness. Remember when people doubted that Ahsoka Tano could become a franchise icon? Look where she is now.
There’s no reason Lop couldn’t follow a similar path.

Her story remains wide open. We don’t know what happens after her final standoff with Ochō. Did she rebuild her family? Join the Rebellion? Find a new home among Force users? The possibilities aren’t just endless — they’re exciting.
In an era where Disney is reportedly pivoting back to theatrical releases, and with Rey Skywalker’s return leaving some fans lukewarm, characters like Lop offer a chance to shake things up. Give her a series. A film. Even a crossover.
What’s clear is that Star Wars needs new blood — or in this case, new fur. And the fanbase agrees. Online discussions continue to ask the same thing: why hasn’t Lop come back?
Lucasfilm, take the hint. Lop isn’t just a great side character. She’s a missed opportunity waiting to be fixed.
