Prolific writer of StarWars novels and comics Charles Soule agrees with one fan's suggestion that Nick Offerman would be a great fit for Jedi Porter Engle. Should Nick Offerman join the Star Wars universe?
Star Wars novels writer Charles Soule agrees with one fan regarding who Nick Offerman should play in the franchise. Stemming from George Lucas' A New Hope in 1977, the Star Wars franchise now consists of a number of films, TV shows, novels, and comics, which collectively span hundreds of years. After Disney's most recent sequel trilogy, which concluded in 2019, the future of the franchise's feature film division has been less clear.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY After Offerman's recent dramatic appearance on The Last of Us, Who's The Bossk – Star Wars Podcast tweeted that the actor would be a great fit as Porter Engle in the Star Wars universe – and Soule, the character's creator, agrees! The original post includes images of Offerman and Engle side-by-side, and it's certainly not difficult to see why the actor would be fan-cast in the role due to his physical appearance alone. Engle has yet to make his live-action debut in the Star Wars universe, but Offerman's poignant turn as survivor Bill in The Last of Us is further proof that he would be a strong addition to Lucas' franchise.
During his early career as a Jedi, Engle spends much time exploring the far reaches of the galaxy, fighting, teaching, and serving as a diplomat at different periods of his life. Eventually, however, Engle becomes disillusioned with the violence that accompanies his life as a Jedi and becomes a humble cook on an outpost on the planet Elphrona.
How Porter Could Be Introduced To Star Wars Outside of novels, the High Republic Era has yet to be fully explored in live-action, but that is set to change with the upcoming new Star Wars TV show, The Acolyte. While many details regarding the show remain unknown, The Acolyte chronicles the final days of the High Republic era with a cast that includes Amanda Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Dafne Keen, and Carrie-Anne Moss, among others.
