The Star Wars universe includes a wide range of interesting characters of all shapes and sizes. Names such as Yoda, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader have been etched into pop culture over the years. However, there is no denying that some of these characters are more beloved than others. Let’s take a look at some of the most memorable Star Wars characters, ranked from worst to best. Warning – Spoilers ahead!

We couldn’t have a list of Star Wars characters without everyone’s favorite (or least favorite) Gungan, now could we? When George Lucas first revealed Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace, he was convinced that he’d be the key to the film’s success.

However, the motion-capture character, played by Ahmed Best, was instantly hated by the masses. With time though, Jar Jar has developed a cult following, especially from those who were kids when they first saw him on the big screen.

Oh, poor Rose. Kelly Marie Tran did everything she could with that character and for a minute there, it seemed like she could have been the most interesting female character in the Star Wars universe since Princess Leia.

However, her role in The Last Jedi as the Resistance mechanic-turned-fighter was fairly insignificant and after some harsh words from many fans, Disney decided to sideline her in The Rise of Skywalker. She only has one minute of screen time in the entire movie!

Fans seem to have a complicated relationship with General Hux. After his terrifying speech in The Force Awakens, many thought that the First Order general was going to be a fierce rival to Kylo Ren.

However, he eventually became a comic relief character in The Last Jedi, being thrown around by his superior and in The Rise of Skywalker, he betrayed the First Order before being unceremoniously discarded.

You can’t deny that Vice Admiral Holdo made a big impact in the one movie she was in – The Last Jedi. Laura Dern’s character starts off as a passive leader in the Resistance, who Poe Dameron is compelled to start a mutiny against.

When all seemed lost, Holdo did the unthinkable, sending her ship into lightspeed through the First Order’s Supremacy. Without this pink-haired heroine’s wild, kamikaze move, the Resistance might not have won in the long run.

Responsible for one of the most iconic Star Wars lines in recent memory, Chirrut Imwe was a breath of fresh when he showed up in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Despite being blind, it appears that Imwe’s belief in the Force was enough to show how powerful he could be.

Fans around the world can’t stop reciting his line, “I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me.” He also has an interesting relationship with his fellow Guardian of the Whills, Baze Malbus.

Another sequel character who seemed to have so much potential was Maz Kanata. Voice by Lupita Nyong’o, this alien is the head of a pirate cove in Takodana. It turns out that Maz had somehow found Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber and had been safeguarding it for years.

Like other characters introduced in The Force Awakens, Maz was unfortunately sidelined for much of the remaining two movies in the trilogy, which is a shame, especially since it was implied that she was Force-sensitive.

As if Boba Fett wasn’t enough. When the prequels came around, we were introduced to the bounty hunter’s “father,” Jango. Played by Temuera Morrison, this bounty hunter was cloned on the planet Kamino, which ended up creating the infamous clone army.

Despite perishing at the hands of Mace Windu, the clones of Jango are prominent in both Revenge of the Sith and the Clone Wars animated series. Of course, the clones turn on the Jedi after Order 66 is executed by Chancellor Palpatine.

Maybe the most wasted character in the entire sequel trilogy is Captain Phasma. With Game of Thrones‘ Gwendoline Christine underneath that chrome armor, fans were excited to see what Phasma would bring to the story moving forward.

She proved to be a worthy adversary to Finn, but ultimately, Rian Johnson decided to write her out of the story pretty quickly, with Finn shoving her “chrome dome” into a fiery pit in The Last Jedi, never to be seen again.

General Grievous might be the best-looking, yet worst character on this list. OK, truth be told, the CGI for this character hasn’t held up that well over the last 15 years. However, fans were excited to see what he was capable of in Revenge of the Sith.

Grievous “kidnaps” Chancellor Palpatine at the beginning of the movie, but it turns out that it was just a ruse. Eventually, Obi-Wan Kenobi confronts Grievous in a pretty epic lightsaber duel, before defeating him with an “uncivilized” blaster.

Arguably the unsung hero of the original trilogy, people underestimate the contribution that X-Wing pilot Wedge Antilles made to the fall of the Empire. Not only was this talent pilot in the trench run during the first movie, but he also fought during the Battle of Hoth.

Many years after helping to blow up the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi, Dennis Lawson amazingly reprised his role as Wedge in The Rise of Skywalker. This time though, he was in the Millenium Falcon!

If he wasn’t such a new addition to the Star Wars universe, then Baby Yoda might be closer to #1 on this list! You can’t deny that this adorable little green thing was one of the biggest cultural phenomenons in 2019.

In the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, the 50-year-old baby is discovered by the titular character, and soon, the two develop a father-son relationship that people can’t get enough of. Naturally, Baby Yoda is extremely strong in the Force.

How fitting is it that the actor behind one of the most iconic iterations of Count Dracula would play a Star Wars character called Count Dooku? The late, great Christopher Lee played the leader of the Separatists in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

While he is revealed to be the Sith Lord Darth Tyrannus, Dooku is eventually defeated in a pretty gruesome way by Anakin Skywalker, with Chancellor Palpatine more than happy to get rid of him.

Many would claim that it’s actually Jyn Erso, not Rey, who is the very best female character of the most recent crop of Star Wars movies. The main protagonist of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Jyn’s father Galen is the scientist who refuses to carry on helping the Empire.

Eventually, Jyn is recruited by the Rebellion and against their wishes, she puts together a ragtag team to infiltrate the planet of Scarif and retrieve the plans to the Death Star, setting up the events of A New Hope.

Surely there isn’t a character in the Star Wars universe more grotesque than Jabba the Hutt. The head of a crime syndicate on Tattooine, Jabba proudly holds onto Han Solo as he is frozen in carbonite after the events of The Empire Strikes Back.

In Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker and his friends go to Jabba to ask for Han back. When he declines, Jabba underestimates Luke’s powers and ultimately perishes at the hands of Princess Leia!

Fans were a little skeptical when it was announced that Samuel L. Jackson would be playing a Jedi in the prequels. However, Mace Windu ended up becoming one of the most popular characters of those movies.

The wielder of the only purple lightsaber in the entire franchise, Mace confronts Chancellor Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith when he discovers that he’s a Sith Lord. It seems though that his fate was ultimately hinted at in his own name – He was thrown out of the “windu.”

Another character who is responsible for one of the most “meme-able” phrases in all of Star Wars has to be Admiral Ackbar. Amazingly, fans weren’t particularly phased when they first saw an alien general with the head of a squid who could speak perfect English.

When it is revealed in Return of the Jedi that the second Death Star is fully operational, despite appearing to be half complete, Ackbar utters the iconic three words: “It’s a trap!”

One of the first characters we see in The Force Awakens is Poe Dameron, who has discovered information leading the heroes to the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker. As time goes on, Poe becomes a more integral figure in the Resistance and his bromance with Finn is nothing short of adorable.

Oscar Isaac certainly crushed it in every scene he was in. However, not even he could stop Poe from virtually becoming a sideline character by the time The Rise of Skywalker was released.

When it was announced that The Mandalorian would be the first Star Wars TV series, fans were convinced that it would be about Boba Fett. However, it turns out that there was another Mandalorian out there who looked very similar but was a completely different person.

Pedro Pascal from Game of Thrones plays Din Djarin, a bounty hunter who is kind of sick of his bounty hunter profession and is just doing it to pay the bills. This is until he encounters the adorable Baby Yoda.

There is no denying that the Ewoks are an extremely polarizing element of Star Wars mythology. After all, how is it possible that a tribe of teddy bears managed to take down the Galactic Empire? There’s no point in questioning it, we should just be grateful that they helped.

The main representative of the Ewoks is little Wicket, played by the 11-year-old Warwick Davis. After a chance encounter with Princess Leia, he welcomes her into the tribe, along with the rest of the crew.

Maybe the ultimate letdown in the history of Star Wars is Supreme Leader Snoke. With Andy Serkis playing the motion-capture performance of this terrifying, Voldemort-like character, fans were so excited to see what Kylo Ren’s master was capable of.

When The Last Jedi came around, Snoke was revealed in all of his opulent glory and it was awesome! However, with the flick of the lightsaber switch, he was unceremoniously wiped out from the picture. So much potential…

Natalie Portman was to the prequel trilogy what Carrie Fisher was to the original Star Wars movies – the strong-minded female lead who was so much more than just her royal title. Queen Amidala is revealed to be Padme, the young lady who befriends Anakin.

Eventually, the two friends fall in love and it turns out that Anakin’s determination to protect Padme is ultimately what leads him to become Darth Vader. Although Portman’s performance was critically panned, the character has a strong fan base.

Everything seemed to be going so well for Finn. In The Force Awakens, his role as a reluctant stormtrooper who defects from the First Order was a fresh, exciting storyline that we had never seen before. He even managed to strike Kylo Ren with a lightsaber!

However, the following two movies saw him become nothing more than a side character, with his romance with Rose Tico being poorly received by both critics and fans alike. Nevertheless, John Boyega was terrific as Finn.

He might not be the most compelling character in all of Star Wars. Heck, he only had one line in The Phantom Menace. There is no denying though that Darth Maul is one of the most terrifying characters in the franchise, simply due to his appearance.

Despite seemingly perishing in the first prequel, it is revealed in the Clone Wars animated series that Maul actually survived and ended up having a much more interesting character arc through this medium.

While we don’t see The Emperor until The Empire Strikes Back, it seems like the man that Darth Vader answers to is Grand Moff Tarkin. High up in the Imperial ranks, Tarkin immortalized the line “you may fire when ready” but ultimately wasn’t meant to live passed A New Hope.

Although Peter Cushing passed away back in 1994, ILM managed to bring him “back to life” through the power of CGI, with Tarkin returning in a fairly prominent role for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Before he turned to the Dark Side and became a Dark Lord of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker was a friendly boy who grew up on Tatooine as a slave. After being brought into the Jedi academy, he eventually becomes a Jedi Knight before his tragic fall from grace.

Both Jake Lloyd and Hayden Christensen played Anakin in the prequels. But we can’t ignore the late Sebastian Shaw, who played the unmasked Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi.

The original wearer of the Mandalorian armor is the enigmatic Boba Fett. A bestselling toy as well as a mysterious character, Boba Fett first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back where he captured Han Solo and froze him in carbonite.

However, he ended up falling into the Sarlacc Pit in Return of the Jedi. In the prequels, Daniel Logan played the younger version of Boba Fett, before he put on the iconic helmet and became a bounty hunter.

With time, Lando Calrissian has become one of the most beloved characters in all of Star Wars. Billy Dee Williams added some charm and flair to The Empire Strikes Back, and audiences couldn’t believe it when he sold out Han and Leia to Darth Vader.

Thankfully, he managed to redeem himself in Return of the Jedi and ended up returning decades later in The Rise of Skywalker. Donald Glover famously portrayed a young Lando in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

The robotic equivalent of the beloved dog that never speaks but always understands, R2-D2 is one of the unsung heroes in a Galaxy, Far, Far Away! The amount of times that R2 has gotten Luke and the others out of trouble is absolutely staggering.

The astromech droid also appeared in the prequels. After Kenny Baker’s untimely passing, the character of R2 took a step back in the sequel trilogy and didn’t play as much of a prominent role in the action.

One character who fans wished they could have seen so much more of was Qui-Gon Jinn. Despite firmly being on the Light Side of the Force, Liam Neeson’s character was a maverick on the Jedi Council, who would always challenge the dogmatic view of his contemporaries.

The spiritual master had complete faith that Anakin was the Chosen One from the very beginning and that he would ultimately bring balance to the force. Although things went terrible for Anakin initially, Qui-Gon was ultimately right.

Has there ever been a Star Wars character more annoying and charming in equal measures than C-3PO? Having been there from the very beginning, this protocol droid is one of the only characters to have featured in every single Star Wars movie.

Anthony Daniels brought much charisma to the character over the years and it seems like Threepio had a huge part to play in the action of The Rise of Skywalker, which is probably the last time we’ll ever see him in a motion picture.

While there have been great female characters in the Star Wars cinematic universe, it was exciting to finally see one who was strong in the Force and the protagonist of the story. Rey’s journey from the desert planet of Jakku to a fully-fledged Jedi was very similar to Luke’s.

The question surrounding her parentage though drove fans crazy for many years. So when it was finally revealed that she was a Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker, it was an answer that was never going to please everyone.

Another character who has been there from the very beginning is the one and only Chewbacca. There is no denying that our favorite Wookiee has been through a lot over the years.

From his smuggling days with Han Solo to his struggles on his home planet of Kashyyyk, Chewie’s story kept on going into the sequel trilogy. Joonas Suotamo took over the role of Chewie after it became too difficult for the late Peter Mayhew to carry it on.

The puppet master who was behind it all – Sheev Palpatine is first revealed in the original trilogy to be The Emperor, the Sith Lord who underestimates the love that Darth Vader has for his son, Luke.

Ian McDiarmid played a younger version of Palpatine in the prequels and then reprised the role in the final sequel movie, The Rise of Skywalker. It is revealed that he is the grandfather of Rey, who uses the Force to destroy him once and for all.

Arguably the most compelling character in the entire sequel trilogy is the main antagonist, Kylo Ren. Although he tries so hard to be like his grandfather Darth Vader, Ben Solo’s pull to the light is so strong and he is constantly trying to fight it.

Despite what he did to Han Solo and his complicated relationship with Luke Skywalker, Kylo ultimately returned to the Light Side and brought Rey back to life, sacrificing his own life in the process. Adam Driver was remarkable as Kylo Ren.

Many were surprised back in 1980 that the Jedi master that Luke Skywalker was looking for was in fact, a tiny green alien by the name of Yoda. Of course, he proved that size doesn’t matter and showed Luke what he’s capable of.

Frank Oz first brought Yoda to life through the power of puppetry before playing a CGI version of the character in the prequels. He also reprised the role of Yoda in a powerful scene where he reunites with Luke in The Last Jedi.

The very first glimpse we got into the Force and the Jedi was through the eyes of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke couldn’t believe that Old Ben had once fought in the Clone Wars with his father. It’s Obi-Wan who gives Luke his father’s lightsaber and ultimately sacrifices himself.

Of course, we can’t ignore Ewan McGregor’s performance of the younger Obi-Wan in the prequels. It was arguably the best thing about those three movies! With McGregor set to reprise the role in a Disney+ series, the character of Obi-Wan is more relevant than ever.

There might not be a fictional female character more iconic or more beloved than Princess Leia. Moviegoers couldn’t believe it when the Princess of Alderaan basically helped Luke and Han escape the Death Star after they tried to rescue her!

Sadly, Carrie Fisher passed away in 2016, which dealt a severe blow to Leia’s story in the final installment of the sequel trilogy – The Rise of Skywalker. Archival footage from the previous two movies ended up being used to include her in the movie.

Is there a cinematic villain more iconic than Darth Vader? We think not. Sure, Anakin Skywalker is already on this list, but many would debate that Vader and “Little Ani” are two separate characters in essence.

The Dark Lord of the Sith terrified moviegoers for years with his dark helmet, slow breathing and ability to choke individuals with the Force. It took multiple performers to bring Vader to life, with David Prowse wearing the suit and James Earl Jones providing his voice for the role.

He might not be strong with the Force, but Han Solo is that everyman that is thrown into the middle of a galactic civil war. Harrison Ford brought charm and gravitas to his role, to say the very least.

Fans lost their minds when Han returned in The Force Awakens, but we left heartbroken when he lost his life at the hands of his son, Kylo Ren. Han Solo is such a popular character that he even had his own spinoff movie – Solo: A Star Wars Story.

You can’t talk about Star Wars without Luke Skywalker – plain and simple. The young farm boy from Tattooine embarked on a truly epic hero’s journey, taking his father’s lightsaber and eventually becoming a Jedi Knight, before finally bringing balance to the Force with Darth Vader.

However, many people, including Mark Hamill, were left frustrated by the way that Luke was utilized in the sequel trilogy. After a last-minute cameo in The Force Awakens, Luke is portrayed in The Last Jedi as a deadbeat hermit, before finally sacrificing himself for the Resistance.
