1. Yoda
   Obi-Wan Kenobi
2. Mace Windu
   Plo Koon

1. Wicket
   Bib Fortuna
2. Sy Snootles

1. R2-D2
   BB-8
2. C-3PO
   K-2SO

The fastidious protocol droid tends to aggravate his companions in stressful situations, but he's gotten them out of a jam or two. He and R2-D2 also make an unforgettable droid duo.

1. Bossk
   Boba Fett
2. IG-99
   Zam Wesell

Boba Fett became a fan favorite even before his film debut, first appearing in the infamous "Star Wars Holiday Special." The ruthless bounty hunter with all the cool gadgets radiates attitude!

1. Han Solo
   Lando Calrissian
2. Kylo Ren
   Finn

Scoundrel. Scruffy-looking nerf herder. Han Solo's been called a name or two, but there's no tougher smuggler turned rebel general in the galaxy! Also, fans know he shot Greedo first.

1. Maz Kanata
   Lor San Tekka
2. Cassian Andor
   Poe Dameron

Poe Dameron's kind of the new Han Solo for the latest trilogy: cocky, sarcastic and doesn't take orders from anyone. But he's fully behind the Resistance in standing up to the First Order.

1. Orson Krennic
   Bail Organa
2. Saw Gerrera
   Owen Lars

Played by Forest Whitaker, Saw Gerrera leads the Partisans, an extremist faction of the Rebellion. And like another famous Star Wars character, he relies on machines to keep him running.

1. Rose Tico
   Beru Lars
2. Mon Mothma
   Sabé

Aunt Beru, Owen Lars' wife, raises Luke from infancy on the harsh desert world of Tatooine. And when she's not serving blue milk at meals, she's mediating between her husband and nephew.

1. Rey
   Paige Tico
2. Amilyn Holdo
   Breha Organa

Rey's the heroine of the new Star Wars trilogy, a model for aspiring Jedi. The scavenger girl with the mysterious past hurtles headlong into the center of the fight against the First Order.

1. Yaddle
   Aayla Secura
2. Jocasta Nu
   Amilyn Holdo

Vice Admiral Holdo, portrayed by Laura Dern, serves as a leader of the Resistance, despite some resistance from her own people (cough, cough, Poe). Her sacrifice shocked audiences.

1. Watto
   Boss Nass
2. Sebulba
   Wald

With his little wings, Watto hovers over the dusty Tatooine ground like an annoying gnat. The unpleasant junk dealer owns Shmi and Anakin Skywalker but loses the boy in a bet with Qui-Gon.

1. Ephant Mon
   Oola
2. Salacious Crumb
   Beedo

The green-skinned Twi-lek slave dancer had the unfortunate fate of ending up at Jabba the Hutt's palace. No one will forget her blood-curdling screams when she came face-to-face with the rancor.

1. Mon Mothma
   Princess Leia
2. Admiral Ackbar
   Nien Nunb

Mon Mothma leads the Rebel Alliance, appearing in both "Return of the Jedi" and "Rogue One." It's hard to forget her solemnity when she announces that "many Bothans died" delivering a message.

1. Kitster Banai
   Jek Porkins
2. Luke Skywalker
   Biggs Darklighter

Luke undergoes the classic hero's journey in the original trilogy, transforming from a naive farm boy to a seasoned Jedi Knight. His story wraps up in "The Last Jedi." You may need a hankie.

1. Yarael Poof
   Greedo
2. Max Rebo
   Chewbacca

Peter Mayhew said in interviews that he got the part of Chewbacca when he stood up to greet the filmmakers. The 7 foot 2 actor brought warmth, gentleness and humor to the gigantic Wookiee.

1. Emperor Palpatine
   Supreme Leader Snoke
2. Kylo Ren
   General Hux

In the prequel trilogy, Palpatine seems like a nice enough guy at first, slowly gaining power. By the time he seduces Anakin Skywalker to the dark side, it's too late for anyone to stop him.

1. Wilhuff Tarkin
   Kendal Ozzel
2. Lorth Needa
   Firmus Piett

Tarkin represents the cold cruelty of the Empire, calmly explaining his reasons for destroying Leia's home planet. It's hard to believe the actor Peter Cushing wore slippers during shooting!

1. Tagge
   Dodonna
2. Motti
   Rieekan

Motti is so smug and smarmy when he mocks Darth Vader's belief in the Force that audiences are glad when Vader cuts off his oxygen for a bit. We, too, find his lack of faith disturbing.

1. Wedge Antilles
   Wes Janson
2. Biggs Darklighter
   Jar Jar Binks

Played by Denis Lawson, Wedge Antilles is one of the most valuable Rebel pilots. He saves Luke during the attack on the first Death Star and helps destroy the second Death Star, too.

1. Yoda
   Jar Jar Binks
2. Ki-Adi-Mundi
   Rune Haako

Jar Jar Binks gets a lot of hate, but the clumsy Gungan was intended to entertain the kiddies in "The Phantom Menace." Weesa noticed his role got smaller in the next two films, and that's okee-day!

1. Obi-Wan Kenobi
   General Grievous
2. Darth Maul
   Count Dooku

Played by Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor, Obi-Wan Kenobi is the glue that binds the prequel and classic trilogies together. He gives us chills when he says, "The Force will be with you, always."

1. Jabba the Hutt
   Darth Vader
2. Lando Calrissian
   Jango Fett

There are not many people you can identify just by the sound of their breathing, but Darth Vader's one of them. He's the deliciously menacing villain who also has a bittersweet redemption in the end.

1. Qui-Gon Jinn
   Dooku
2. Obi-Wan Kenobi
   Quinlan Vos

Qui-Gon Jinn, played by Liam Neeson, is dead set on training Anakin to be a Jedi, confident that he's the Chosen One. And maybe Anakin is, but his Jedi career has a few rough patches.

1. Princess Leia
   Lyra Erso
2. Paige Tico
   Qi'ra

Han Solo's childhood sweetheart, Qi'ra tragically takes a dark path when she's forced into Crimson Dawn in "Solo." Their brief reunion is bittersweet, because we know it can't last ...

1. Zam Wesell
   Taun We
2. Shmi Skywalker
   Luminara Unduli

Anakin slides closer to the dark side when he witnesses his mother's death and avenges her ⁠— mercilessly. It's all the more tragic when you realize that he last saw her as a little boy.

1. DJ
   Finn
2. Baze Malbus
   Bodhi Rook

His "boss," Captain Phasma, may have once called Finn FN-2187, but now it's traitor. The stormtrooper defects in "The Force Awakens" and joins the Resistance. Will he end up with Rose or Rey?

1. K-2SO
   L3-37
2. BB-8
   U-3PO

Appearing in "Rogue One," K-2SO is one of the funniest, most sardonic droids we've met. Alan Tudyk had to wear stilts while portraying the droid in motion capture, but his efforts paid off!

1. Lando Calrissian
   Lobot
2. Tobias Beckett
   Rio Durant

Lando may always be remembered as the guy who betrayed his friend, Han Solo. But he redeems himself by joining the Rebellion and rescuing Han from Jabba. And he promises not to scratch the "Falcon"!

1. Paploo
   Moff Jerjerrod
2. Sy Snootles
   Jabba the Hutt

Despite being a disgusting, bloated slug, Jabba the Hutt is one of the most feared crime lords in the galaxy! So it's more than a little satisfying when Leia wraps her chain around his neck ...

1. Teebo
   Wicket
2. Paploo
   Wuta

Wicket is a young Ewok, and we'll go ahead and say it: He's so cute! The way he toddles along like a living teddy bear ... And let's give credit where it's due; the Ewoks help save the day!

1. Boba Fett
   Bossk
2. IG-88
   Greedo

Jabba may have only sent Greedo to collect his money from Han, but Greedo had other ideas. But in short order, Greedo's slumped on the table and Han's flipping the bartender some coins.

1. Nien Nunb
   Admiral Ackbar
2. Fodesinbeed Annodue
   Boss Nass

Admiral Gial Ackbar will always be best remembered for that particular line. Fans were happy to see him return in Episodes VII and VIII, although shocked by his abrupt departure.

1. General Grievous
   Count Dooku
2. Kylo Ren
   Shaak Ti

It was undeniably cool when General Grievous' arms split apart, allowing him to wield four lightsabers. The DVD commentary revealed that George Lucas, who had bronchitis, provided the coughing sounds.

1. Finn
   Kylo Ren
2. Poe Dameron
   General Hux

Much of Kylo Ren's backstory is still shrouded in secrecy, but we do know how much he seems to idolize his grandfather, Darth Vader. Um, hello? Can't he try to emulate his parents or uncle instead?
