She kills Jabba the Hut, one of the most notorious crime lords in the galaxy; and she has a wit that matches Han Solo's. She is more than a princess and a general; this hero is an inspiration.
General Leila Organa
This clunky blue astromech is one of the only Star Wars characters to appear in every single one of the main Skywalker films (plus a cameo in Rogue One). He's smart, he's resourceful, and he's got a little bit of a temper.
R2D2
A harsh desert world orbiting twin suns in the galaxy’s Outer Rim. This planet is also known for its dangerous Podraces, rampant gambling, and legalized slavery.
Tatooine
This villain isn't just the best villain of the "Star Wars" universe, he's one of the best in film history. The mystery surrounding him in "A New Hope" elevated his persona, and the "I am your father" reveal in "Empire Strikes Back" cemented his legacy.
Darth Vadar
“I’ll never turn to the dark side. You’ve failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me.”
Luke Skywalker
Episode I - The Phantom Menace
A legendary Jedi Master and member of the Jedi High Council during the fall of the Republic who has all of the characteristics of a cliché mentor (patient, wise, loyal).
Obi Wan Kenobi
This anxious droid frequently gets into trouble (and frets loudly about it), but he just as frequently is there to help save his friends.
C-3P0
If ever one needed an example of the irredeemable evil that was the Empire, turn to the shattered remains of this planet which was targeted as soon as the Death Star was operational.
Alderaan
He may come off as a spoiled brat, but this villain’s temper tantrums are a key part of his personality. He has a lot of anger inside of him that he constantly struggles with -should he embrace the Dark Side, or turn toward the light?
Kylo Ren
“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.”
Yoda
Episode III - The Revenge of the Sith
He can be annoying, and he ate a Porg, but he's one of the most iconic characters in the universe. This hero is a loyal friend, a good soldier, and has saved his friends (including Han) on many occasions.
Chewbacca
This sassy, spherical astromech droid is the unexpected heart of the new films, injecting the series with both comedy and some surprisingly poignant moments. Also, he's just adorable, with his roly-poly body and big bug eye.
BB-8
This lush, forest home of the Ewok species is the gravesite of Darth Vader and the Empire itself. It was here that the Rebel Alliance won its most crucial victory over the Galactic Empire.
Endor
He somehow managed to gain a role as a representative for his people in the Galactic Senate. In this role, this villain encourages the Senate to grant Palpatine emergency powers that ultimately give Palpatine the ability to carry out his dominance as Darth Sidious.
Jar Jar Binks
“The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."
Chancellor Palpatine
Episode II - The Attack of the Clone Wars
He doesn't like to follow the rules, he's a great pilot, and he will do anything for the Alliance. This hero is a commander in the Resistance's Starfighter Corps and one of Leia Organa's most-trusted operatives.
Poe Dameron
A reprogrammed Imperial security droid is a snarky cynic who hates everyone and everything. Yes, he'll help you on your mission to steal the Death Star plans, but he's going to complain the whole time.
K-2SO
This planet is inhabited by peaceful humans and an indigenous species of intelligent amphibians called the Gungans who have a weird habit of electing teenage girls to rule them.
Naboo
We know little about this villain based on his one movie appearance, "The Phantom Menace," but he makes a big impact in the little time we see him. For starters, he has the coolest lightsaber, by far. And he manages to kill Qui-Gon Jinn.
Darth Maul
“So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause.”
Padmé Amidala
Episode VII - The Force Awakens
She is more than a thousand years old, a diminutive being with vast experience at surviving in the underworld. From her castle on Takodana, she has seen galactic powers rise and fall and felt the Force ebb and flow, seeking an elusive balance between darkness and light.
Maz Kanata
Long before clones and stormtroopers roamed the galaxy, these droids were a staple of galactic warfare. They’re not known for being particularly sturdy. Or accurate. Or bright. Roger roger, indeed.
Battle Droids
This city-covered planet is the seat of government for the Galactic Republic and the Empire that followed, and was the site of numerous historic events during the Clone Wars.
Coruscant
He isn't afraid to blow up an entire planet to get what he wants and send a message. This villain is ruthless and cunning — everything you could want in a good villain.
Grand Moff Tarkin
“I’m one with the Force. The Force is with me.”
Chirrut Îmwe
Episode IV - A New Hope
