@jasmine_tarkheena I suppose someone like Drinian or Peridan would be a good option for expansion then... they don't have a huge place in the story but I do think there's room for their backstories. Maybe give Driniaan a backstory about being kidnapped by pirates as a boy, which could serve as an explanation for his knowledge of certain islands, or just sailing in general.

Interesting thoughts. I'm not sure the one about Drinian being given a backstory about being kidnapped by pirates. That might be stretching it. Though it would probably be idea to see Drinian's close friendship with Caspian develop... I'm sure he had become Caspian's confidant. It would also be crucial where Drinian realizes that Rilian disappeared, that keeping Rilian's secret was a mistake, and tells Caspian. As Caspian gets ready to kill Drinian, Caspian realizes that he had already lost his wife and son, and didn't want to risk losing his friend. So it could be a way to have Caspian and Drinian's close friendship develop.

Carry on, fair members!  

@glimglum Noted! We will sure have fun having this discussion!  

So getting back on topic... even if the minor characters aren't given a backstory (for time sake, that is), they could be expanded to some extent.

@jasmine_tarkheena in fact, the way a minor character is shown on screen (costume, hair, makeup, voice, size,  etc), will expand him or her.

I think that I would not mind see an expanding on Sarah the maid in the Magician's Nephew. I think it might be fun to see some of the story from her point of view.

Also, I could see them expanding on Jadis' sister. Although, this would probably depend on whether Magician's Nephew was a tv series or a movie, but, I guess they could split Magician's Nephew into multiple movies.

 They could split Magician's Nephew into two movies and put in a lot of Charn backstory.
