It's been 3 years since Yellowjackets star Sophie Thatcher made her Star Wars debut in The Book of Boba Fett, and despite the reception the show and her role in it received, she's ready to make a return. The Mandalorian spin-off series following Temuera Morrison's Boba Fett ultimately earned mixed reviews, and one of its most controversial elements focused on a group of young bikers named the Mods. Led by Drash, Thatcher's character, this group, named for their droid modifications, were heavily criticized for bringing their bright-colored bike aesthetic to Star Wars' iconic ruggedness - but that hasn't deterred Thatcher.

Speaking to Inverse, Thatcher insisted that she would make a return to the Star Wars galaxy "in a heartbeat." Her motivation for this is twofold; firstly, it's because "the Star Wars universe is so vast and so dense and so interesting, and Jon Favreau made it feel very political and very timely." Additionally, however, Thatcher wants a chance to truly unite with her former Prospect co-star, who also happens to be the Mandalorian himself: Pedro Pascal. "I haven't seen Pedro Pascal since we worked together in Prospect," she says, hopeful for Drash and Din Djarin to truly interact some more.

While Din Djarin and Drash do share several scenes in The Book of Boba Fett, the pair never actually speak to one another, and Pascal wasn't able to be physically on set for the spin-off series - which prevented the two actors from actually working with each other on this project.

A Chance For Redemption & Reunion

Bringing Drash back to the Star Wars galaxy, amongst some of the other ing Pascal's Din Djarin would also be a perfect hat-tip to their 2018 indie sci-fi film.

Many Of These Boba Fett Characters Deserve True Justice

From Drash & The Mods To Boba Fett Himself

Of course, Thatcher's Drash is just one of the many characters from The Book of Boba Fett who deserve proper justice - including Morrison's Boba Fett himself. While this TV show has, thankfully, been garnering more and more love and respect from fans over the years, it's still clear to see just how much potential was missed as this show was developed. Many of these characters didn't get a chance to be fully developed, much of which had to do with the fact that the story pivoted midway through to accommodate for Din Djarin and The Mandalorian season 3 setup.

Drash is an especially extreme case of underused potential, given how interesting she and the Mods really could have been if they were given more focus. Instead, they felt more like a mere asset in building up Boba Fett's army for the Battle of Mos Espa. It would have been extremely meaningful to see more of the connection between Boba Fett and the Mods, as the latter became highly dedicated to the former, beyond simple payment via credits. If The Book of Boba Fett gets any kind of chance for expanded storytelling, these characters will hopefully receive their proper justice.
