Star Wars: The Clone Wars/Characters

Anakin Skywalker AnakinCW1a_323.jpg
"Voiced by: Matt Lanter"

The main hero  of the Star Wars saga. "Rex: What's our plan of attack, sir? Anakin: Follow me."
 * Ace Pilot
 * Adaptation Distillation: He's much more likable here.
 * Aggressive Negotiations: The trope namer.
 * Anti-Hero: In Season 4, when his aggressive tendencies become more prominent, he starts slipping into a Type II or III.
 * Badass
 * Bash Brothers: With Obi-Wan and Ahsoka.
 * Berserk Button: Do not threaten Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, R2 or Padmé. Also, for the love of the Force, do not threaten a slave in front of him.
 * Blue Eyes
 * Eyes of Gold: In "Ghosts of Mortis", when  and in the Zygerrian arc, where his eyes turn Sith gold for certain scenes.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?: The Father, embodiment of the Balance of the Force, having Anakin as a guest on a stormy night.
 * Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Taming the Daughter and the Son, embodiments of the Light and Dark Sides of the Force simultaneously certainly counts.
 * A Father to His Men: Inverted. He's pretty caring towards Rex and Ahsoka, but he usually comes up with reckless plans that send both of them into serious danger. Then again, given they are in the middle of war, his plans could be argued as the lesser of two evils: he doesn't send his men into situations he knows they won't survive.
 * He also leads from the front and seems unwilling to order his men to do anything he wouldn't do himself.
 * Indy Ploy: Most of his plans.
 * Indy Ploy: Most of his plans.


 * Overprotective Master: Played with. Usually he has no problem with bringing Ahsoka into a combat situation, since it is part of her training after all (and he's usually there to keelhaul anything that so much as thinks of killing her). But, when a mission is so dangerous that even he overthinks every plan going into it, he justifiably wants her to stay out of it.
 * Papa Wolf: Don't endanger Ahsoka's life. Unless you're either massively suicidal.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Obi-Wan's Blue.
 * Voice of the Legion: In "Overlords", when he.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Obi-Wan, but the vitriol is definitely of a deadpan variety.

Obi-Wan Kenobi obi-wan-CW-tl_250_3330.jpg
"Voiced by: James Arnold Taylor"

Anakin's former master and his best friend. Has a reputation as "The Negotiator" on the battlefield.

"Obi-Wan: That's your plan? Just fly in there, land, hope they don't spot us, and walk in the door? Anakin: Basically. Obi-Wan: Oh, brilliant. Let's get going."
 * Badass Beard
 * Badass Teacher
 * Back-to-Back Badasses: Seems quite prone to this, even managing to pull it off with a) an Actual Pacifist (Satine) and b) one of his enemies.
 * Bash Brothers: With Anakin.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Polite, kind-hearted and fatherly Jedi Knight who mercilessly and repeatedly beats the crap out of the Separatists. And even though he's called the Negotiator, that doesn't mean he does it by just talking them to death.
 * Blue Eyes
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Duchess Satine.
 * Deadpan Snarker

"Obi-Wan: You seem a bit on edge. Anakin: There's a good chance that we're about to destroy all life on this planet, including ours and the senator's. So yes, I'm a bit on edge! Why aren't you? Obi-Wan: (shrugs) I'm better at hiding it."
 * Also:


 * Enemy Mine:
 * Friendly Sniper: . From the man who refers to blasters as "Uncivilized".
 * Not So Different: To Anakin, given that both of them have politicians for love interests. Anakin really enjoys pointing this one out.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to Anakin's Red.
 * Snark Knight: He could be the poster boy of the trope.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Anakin, but it's the deadpan type of vitriol.

Ahsoka Tano Ahsoka_2a_6373.jpg
"Voiced by: Ashley Eckstein"

Anakin's Padawan. She is initially foisted on him without his consent, but they soon develop a rapport, helped by their similar personalities.


 * Action Girl
 * Little Miss Badass: Pre-timeskip.
 * Hot Chick with a Sword: Post-timeskip,
 * Age-Inappropriate Dress: She is a member of an alien society that might have different standards, but that tiny tube top Ahsoka wore is still highly questionable. She gets a new outfit in the third season which is a bit more reserved, but it still is a Sexy Backless Outfit with a Cleavage Window.
 * Badass Adorable
 * Bare Your Midriff: Her first costume.
 * Blue Eyes
 * Eyes of Gold:
 * Dating Separatist Boy: She's attracted to Lux Bonteri, the son of a Separatist leader.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Seems to have picked this up from Anakin and Obi-Wan.
 * Designated Girl Fight: She has had one in each season.
 * Dual-Wielding: Starts doing this in Season 3.
 * Generation Xerox: To Anakin and possibly Starkiller. She has an attitude similar to Anakin's and even lost her lightsaber once.
 * Kid Appeal Character: At the beginning, but she's since grown out of this role.
 * The Nicknamer: She calls Anakin "Skyguy" and refers to R2 as "Artooie".
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Barriss's Blue. She even has the skin color to match!
 * Reverse Grip: Her fighting style.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: The tomboy to Barriss's girly girl.
 * Took a Level In Badass: She's taken several over the course of the series.
 * Well Done Padawan Girl She tried to cover it for most of the time, but Anakin's acknowledgement means very much to her, as seen in The Movie and.

Senator Padme Amidala Padme1b_7199.jpg
"Voiced by: Catherine Taber"


 * Action Girl
 * Brown Eyes
 * Damsel in Distress: Depending on the plot. She spends more time as an Action Girl, however.
 * Took a Level In Badass: In "Pursuit of Peace".
 * Unlimited Wardrobe: Well... not quite "unlimited," but she is among the few characters who has more than a couple of outfits.

C-3PO C-3PO_1b_2825.jpg
"Voiced by: Anthony Daniels"


 * Non-Action Guy
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive guy to R2's manly man.
 * Those Two Guys: With R2-D2.

R2-D2 R2-D2_1b_7077.jpg

 * Badass Adorable: It's amazing how such a sweet, cute little droid can cause so much trouble for the Separatists.
 * Companion Cube: To Anakin.
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Manly man to C-3PO's sensitive guy.
 * Those Two Guys: With C-3PO.

Yoda Yoda_1b_8501.jpg
"Voiced by: Tom Kane"


 * Badass: The biggest one in a show full of them. "Size matters not!"
 * Badass Adorable
 * Badass Grandpa: Even more so than Dooku himself.
 * A Father to His Men: He encourages the clones to develop self identity. Which is pretty ironic when
 * Old Master
 * One-Man Army: He totally owns Ventress's droid army on Toydaria pretty much singlehandedly.
 * Pint-Sized Powerhouse

Mace Windu MaceWindu_1a_7931.png
"Voiced by: T.C. Carson"


 * Badass: Among the Jedi, second only to Yoda.
 * According to the Expanded Universe, Mace Windu's skill is beyond that of Yoda's in terms of dueling, due to Mace's own unique style of lightsaber combat.
 * Bald of Awesome
 * Bald Black Leader Guy: Technically outranked by Yoda, Mace is the most assertive and dominant personality in the Council, with Yoda seemingly content to let Mace run the show.
 * One-Man Army: While not as exaggerated here as in the other show, Mace is on par with Yoda in his ability to devastate Separatist infantry as seen in the Ryloth arc.
 * Scary Black Man: His implacable nature and fierce disposition are such that in the Ryloth arc, Dooku ordered Wat Tambor and his army to retreat rather than face Windu.

Plo Koon PloKoon_1a_7913.jpg
"Voiced by: James Arnold Taylor"


 * Ace Pilot
 * A Father to His Men
 * Author Appeal: He is one of the Jedi Masters that makes the most appearances. According to Lucas, he's Dave Filoni's favorite character.
 * Lucas even joked that if it was up to Dave, Plo Koon would appear in every episode.
 * Cool Mask: His breathing mask.
 * Gratuitous Foreign Language: "Ko-toh-ya" is a Kel'dor greeting he and Ahsoka uses towards eachother.
 * Parental Substitute: To Ahsoka.
 * Gandalf in Space: According to Dave Filoni.
 * Starfish Language: Averted, in his premier episode the creators originally planned him to be speaking on his native language, but ultimately decided against it, as the episode was rather dialoge heavy.

Luminara Unduli
"Voiced by: Olivia d'Abo"


 * Action Girl
 * Badass in Distress: Happened to her twice.
 * The first time was in "Cloak of Darkness", where she has at a disadvantage against Ventress and needed Ahsoka to win.
 * The second time was in "Legacy of Terror", where she got kidnapped by  and needed to be rescued by Anakin.
 * The Stoic

Barriss Offee
"Voiced by: Meredith Salenger"


 * Action Girl
 * Blue Eyes
 * Can't Catch Up: To Anakin. She first met Anakin when he was a Padawan. She still is one while he has since become a Knight and gained his own Padawan.
 * Damsel in Distress: A rather epic subversion. Ahsoka had to save Barriss's life... when Barriss was overtaken by a Geonosian zombie-worm and trying to kill Ahsoka.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to Ahsoka's Red. She even has the eye and lightsaber colors to match!
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: The girly girl to Ahsoka's tomboy.

Ki Adi Mundi
"Voiced by: Brian George"


 * Badass Grandpa
 * Cool Old Guy
 * Kill It with Fire: Once ordered his troops to use flamethrowers against the Geonosians.

Kit Fisto
"Voiced by: Phil LaMarr"


 * Badass
 * Cat Grin
 * Dual-Wielding: He picks it up on the fly against General Grievous. And it. Is. Awesome.
 * Mr. Fanservice: He's the only male character so far to gain a completely gratuitous, non-justifiable shirtless scene in this series. The directors joked that it was something of a Twilight reference.
 * Shirtless Scene: Let's just say was there was a good reason all the fangirls looked forward to Season Four.

Aayla Secura
"Voiced by: Jennifer Hale"


 * Action Girl
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Everything Sounds Sexier in French: Like the rest of the Twi'lek characters, she speaks with a French accent.
 * Blue Skinned Space Babe
 * Ms. Fanservice: Uh-huh.
 * Hartman Hips: Especially noticeable in the second season episodes featuring the Zillo Beast. And by noticeable, we mean the "impossible to miss unless you're not looking at the screen in the first place" kind.

Qui-Gon Jinn
"Voiced by: Liam Neeson"


 * Badass Beard
 * Badass Long Hair
 * Blue Eyes
 * Looks Like Jesus
 * Posthumous Character
 * Spirit Advisor: To Obi-Wan and Anakin during the Mortis arc.

Pong Krell
"Voiced by: Dave Fennoy"


 * Attack! Attack! Attack!: Summary of his strategy.
 * Dual-Wielding: With double-bladed lightsabers.
 * Expendable Clone: What he thinks of the clones.
 * Fantastic Racism: He treats clones with nothing but utter contempt.
 * General Failure: The way he commands, you'd think he's trying to lose.
 * General Ripper
 * Informed Ability: Said to be a highly successful military strategist, but mostly just gives orders that seem intended to get as many clones killed as possible. Not surprisingly, he's also stated to have the record for highest clone casualty rate.
 * Large Ham: From the start.
 * Lightning Bruiser
 * Multi-Armed and Dangerous
 * The Neidermeyer: Even before, the clones hated him.
 * Token Jerk Teammate: He treats his clone troopers worse than any Jedi so far.

Captain Rex
"Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker"


 * Badass Normal
 * Bald of Awesome: He seems to dye his hair blonde, making his shorter hairdo look "bald." He's no less awesome, however.
 * Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough: The Sergeant Rough to Cody and Bly's Captain Smooth.
 * Clones Are People, Too: His speech towards Master Krell.
 * Guns Akimbo: Seems like Rex has a bit more of Jango in him than most clones.
 * Talking to Himself: He has the same voice actor as the rest of the clones.

Commander Cody
"Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker"


 * Badass Normal
 * Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough: A Smooth to Rex's rough, in the episodes they appear in together.
 * Talking to Himself: He has the same voice actor as the rest of the clones.
 * Talking to Himself: He has the same voice actor as the rest of the clones.

Admiral Yularen
"Voiced by: Tom Kane"


 * Ascended Extra: He appeared in A New Hope in the scene where Tarkin has a meeting with the admirals on the Death Star (he is the guy in a white uniform).
 * Badass Mustache
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Hidden Heart of Gold: He rarely shows it, but he does care for Anakin and his friends. In Clone Wars Gambit: Stealth, he gave a strict yet warm speech when Obi-Wan wanted to get back to duty while seriously injured.
 * Officer and a Gentleman
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: This guy deserves a medal for just having to work with Anakin and Ahsoka.
 * The Stoic

Commander Bly
"Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker"


 * Badass Normal
 * Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough: Has this dynamic with Rex in the one episode they share.
 * Talking to Himself: He has the same voice actor as the rest of the clones.
 * Talking to Himself: He has the same voice actor as the rest of the clones.

Captain Tarkin
"Voiced by: Stephen Stanton"


 * Jerkass
 * Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like
 * Screw the Rules, I Have Connections: Sort of. His constant complaining to his superior officer's face puts him into this trope. It's also hinted that he got his position from his connection with Palpatine as well.

Supreme Chancellor Palpatine/
"Voiced by: Ian Abercrombie"


 * Big Good:
 * Cool Old Guy: To Anakin.
 * Cool Teacher: To Anakin, again.
 * The Good Chancellor: To the Senate.
 * Late Arrival Spoiler:
 * Non-Action Guy: He’s a politician by trade,
 * Permanent Elected Official:
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: To the Republic citizenry and to most Jedi
 * Xanatos Speed Chess: Episodes like 'Destroy Malevolence', ‘Children of the Force’, ‘Duchess of Mandalore’, 'Heroes On Both Sides', and 'Pursuit of Peace' show that the Chancellor can play a mean game.

Senator Bail Organa
"Voiced by: Phil LaMarr"


 * Non-Action Guy: Compared to Padme and his step-daughter.

Duchess Satine Kryze
"Voiced by: Anna Graves"


 * Actual Pacifist
 * Badass Pacifist
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Obi-Wan Kenobi.
 * Shout-Out: To Satine from Moulin Rouge, another romantic interest to a character played by Ewan McGregor.
 * The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask: Fit this trope to a T.

Jar Jar Binks
"Voiced by: Ahmed Best/B.J. Hughes"


 * The Beast Master
 * Cowardly Lion: See Took a Level In Badass below.
 * Fluffy Tamer
 * The Fool
 * The Friend Nobody Likes
 * Lethal Klutz: Ooh boy...
 * Spanner in the Works: As someone in Hondo's gang said it best: "He's no representative, he's a plague!"
 * Took a Level In Badass: Here, he shows himself to be a much more brave and effective character than in the movies. It's helped by putting greater emphasis on his acrobatic abilities (he gets mistaken for a Jedi at one point) and affinity with animals.

Boss Lyonie
"Voiced by: Ahmed Best"


 * Identical Stranger: He looks exactly like Jar Jar with a Boss Hat and even has the same voice actor.

Chewbacca

 * Badass
 * Mr. Fixit

Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus
"Voiced by: Corey Burton"


 * Authority Equals Asskicking: He's a nobleman and the political leader of the Separatists as well as one of the galaxy's deadliest fighters.
 * Bad Boss:  found this one out the hard way.
 * Badass Grandpa: He's one of the oldest characters in the show and, perhaps unsurprisingly, one of the toughest.
 * Beard of Evil
 * The Dragon / Dragon with an Agenda: To Darth Sidious.
 * Evil Mentor: To Ventress, and, briefly, to Savage.
 * Evil Sounds Deep: He is voiced by Corey Burton using his Christopher Lee voice.
 * Fallen Hero: He was once a legendary Jedi and Yoda's Padawan.
 * The Heavy: Dooku's actions drive the plot, while Sidious plots from behind the scenes.
 * If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten:  is hardly a kitten, but...
 * Klingon Promotion:
 * Master Swordsman
 * Neck Snap: In a brutally epic fashion to one of Hondo's pirates.
 * The Starscream:
 * You Have Failed Me: To  somewhat reluctantly.
 * You Have Failed Me: To  somewhat reluctantly.

General Grievious
"Voiced by: Matthew Wood"


 * Bad Boss: Hates the battle droids under his command, deeming them useless (who can blame him?) and regularly destroys and abuses them when he loses his temper. On one occasion, he even throws one from an escape pod in order to save himself.
 * Body Horror: Only his head and heart are still organic. Judging from The Un-Reveal below, it's obvious his face is probably mutilated too.
 * Combat Pragmatist
 * Dirty Coward
 * The Dragon: With, Grievous has now become one to Dooku.
 * Dual-Wielding: Times two.
 * Evil Is Hammy: What the good general may lack in dueling skill, he makes up for in evil delivery.
 * Firing One-Handed: How he uses his blaster.
 * Four-Star Badass: He's one of the highest ranking Separatist military leaders.
 * General Ripper: Definitely.
 * Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Grievous is at his deadliest when he busts out all four arms; then he can hold his own against top tier Jedi.
 * Took a Level In Badass: In "Grievous Intrigue". He defeats a Jedi Master, predicts Obi-Wan's entire battle plan (doesn't quite work, but he gets points for cleverness), fights his way through two more Masters, and a legion of clones in order to escape, and manages to flee Saleucami while under fire and despite Obi-Wan's attempts to stop him, laughing as he escapes.
 * He took another in "Massacre", where he
 * The Un-Reveal: His face.

Asajj Ventress
"Voiced by: Nika Futterman"

""I'm not part of any team""
 * Bald of Evil
 * Bald Woman
 * Character Development/Hidden Depths: Asajj is not easy to pin down. She is a very complex character, undergoing many changes as the continuity goes on. She was a Jedi apprentice early in life, yet was turned to the dark side for a while, courtesy of Count Dooku. After he, she gradually realizes the error of her previous ways of aspiring to become a Sith Lord. Various Star Wars fan sites label her as a Dark Jedi because, while she is overall a dark side force user, she ultimately is not a Sith.
 * The Coats Are Off: Seems to do it often.
 * Dark Action Girl
 * The Dragon: To Dooku, prior to.
 * Dual-Wielding
 * Enemy Mine:
 * Even Evil Has Standards: She returned a girl that had been kidnapped as a bride for a warlord, though she did insist on being paid for the trouble, first.
 * Evil Albino
 * Noble Demon: Though she's often a cold-blooded killer, Asajj clearly has lines she won't cross, and even has moments of borderline kindness; she decides to help Ahsoka track down the real killer of Letta Turmond, after Ahsoka was wrongfully blamed for it (maybe she's got other reasons, but that's speculative). When they are confronted by a group of clone troopers, Ahsoka insist that Asajj not kill any of them during the battle. She actually listens and simply knocks them out.
 * She's Got Legs: And likes to show it.
 * Her Nightsister outfit is a Hell-Bent for Leather Zettai Ryouki.
 * Wild Card: From Jedi apprentice, to aspiring Sith, to Nightsister, to Bounty Hunter,... Ventress shifts sides very often. Eventually she ends up admitting that she's destined to never truly stick to only one side.

Savage Opress
"Voiced by: Clancy Brown"

""Evil is not born. It is taught.""
 * Anti-Villain: Type I/Type II. Savage didn't choose to be evil, and most of his evil acts were undertaken while he was brainwashed, leaving the degree of control he had over his actions ambiguous. Even the moral of his debut episode lampshades this particular quality:


 * Brainwashed and Crazy
 * Body Horror: During Savage's transformation, you can hear his bones cracking as they expand, and his horns visibly extend from his skull.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: He tears clone troopers apart like tissue paper and slaughters two Jedi with little more difficulty.
 * Determinator: He's half-dead before he finally runs from a losing fight in "Witches of the Mist".
 * The Dog Bites Back: He pays back Dooku and Ventress for their abuse and torture by throttling them both. Had they not escaped, he would have done a lot more.
 * The Dragon: Briefly, to Dooku, and even more briefly, to Ventress.
 * He now appears to be acting as one to
 * Evil Makeover: One of the more extreme cases: The Nightsisters' ritual causes Savage to get much bigger physically, elongates his horns, and gives him inhuman strength.
 * Evil Sounds Deep: His voice gets deeper following his transformation. It helps that he's voiced by Clancy Brown.
 * Expy: To Darth Maul both in and out of universe.
 * If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten: His last test of brainwashed loyalty was to kill his brother. He hesitates, but ultimately obeys.
 * Lightning Bruiser
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Seems to be a family tradition.
 * Neck Snap: How he kills his brother, Feral. He does it with one hand.
 * Noble Demon: Before his transformation, Savage was a noble warrior who cared about his brother, even giving himself up to Ventress to protect Feral. Even after his transformation, Savage displays a great deal of loyalty to, a brother he's never even met, even strangling a local creature for taking advantage of   condition instead of helping him.
 * Unskilled but Strong: Savage has little formal training, and, as Dooku says, "no technique", but he's so strong that he can destroy a dozen droids with a single Force wave, and a blow from him sends Dooku flying across a room.
 * Unwitting Pawn: He's fairly gullible, which has allowed others to manipulate him to their whims.

Osi Sobeck
"Voiced by: James Arnold Taylor"


 * Ax Crazy
 * Bad Boss: He's been known to shoot droids just for mentioning the word "escape".
 * If I Can't Have It: He tries to kill Tarkin when it seems that he won't be able to recapture the escaped prisoners, and the intel they carry.
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice is based off of Christopher Walken's.
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice is based off of Christopher Walken's.
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice is based off of Christopher Walken's.

Riff Tamson
"Voiced by: Gary Anthony Williams"


 * Bad Boss
 * Everything Is Even Worse With Sharks
 * Shout-Out: To Jaws.
 * Shout-Out: To Jaws.

Cad Bane
"Voiced by: Corey Burton"

"Cad Bane: If you're gonna kill him, do it like a man!"
 * Badass Longcoat: He sports a very spiffy trench coat.
 * Badass Normal: He doesn't have any superhuman powers or abilities and still takes on Jedi. And wins.
 * Bald of Evil
 * Combat Pragmatist: The key to how he successfully battles Jedi Knights.
 * Crazy Prepared:
 * Dangerously Genre Savvy: When Obi-Wan, disguised as bounty hunter Rako Hardeen, aids in his escape from prison with a terrorist, Bane is quick to call attention to how convenient it was that he could bypass security so easily. He even tried to ditch Hardeen later, though it didn't take. Obi-Wan eventually manages to win a measure of trust out of him, insofar as Bane is no longer trying to off him. He's still suspicious, though.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: He saves "Rako Hardeen" from dying in The Box, but only because Moralo Eval fixed the last challenge so he would lose, and Bane thought Hardeen at least deserved a fair fight.


 * Guns Akimbo: His (initial) weapons of choice.
 * Amoral Bounty Hunters Like Swords: The laugh he lets out when he steals Vos' lightsaber and briefly duels Obi-Wan Kenobi with it is sheer "OMG this is so cool!"
 * Jet Boots
 * Nice Hat: A broad-rimmed fedora. Taken to extremes later on, where he insists on getting a new nice hat after losing his first one, even though it makes him stand out, then kills another bounty hunter for his fedora because it was nicer.
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed: He was based on Lee Van Cleef.

Aurra Sing
"Voiced by: Jaime King"


 * Bald of Evil
 * Cold Sniper
 * Dark and Troubled Past: She was a problematic Jedi trainee who was kidnapped by a space pirate.
 * Evil Albino

Boba Fett
"Voiced by: Daniel Logan"


 * Badass Normal: He's working his way up there; he's currently not quite at Cad Bane's level, but his later exploits in the Star Wars saga assure us that he's well on his way.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Curiously, he was perfectly willing to let a girl be sold into slavery as some warlord's bride, while Ventress couldn't go through with it. Though to his credit, he didn't seem to realise what the girl's brother wanted to do with her; he thought he was still "protecting" her from him.
 * Guns Akimbo
 * Revenge
 * Revenge Before Reason: Debatable, since
 * Robot Buddy: His personal assassin droid, C-21 Highsinger, described by the creators as being to him what Chewbacca is to Han Solo.
 * Took a Level In Badass: As of "Bounty"; in stark contrast to his debut appearance, he now sports his own set of armor, guns down Kage warriors without hesitation, and leads a whole band of bounty hunters who are utterly loyal to him.
 * Young Gun
 * You Killed My Father

Embo
"Voiced by: Dave Filoni"


 * Badass
 * Cool Pet: His anooba, Marrok.
 * Creator Cameo: Voiced by the series' supervising director, Dave Filoni.
 * Nice Hat: Which is also blaster-proof.
 * Lightning Bruiser
 * The Unintelligible: To the viewers, although most of the characters seem to have no trouble understanding him.

Hondo Ohnaka
"Voiced by: Jim Cummings"


 * Affably Evil: During Anakin, Obi-Wan and Dooku's attempts to escape from his ship, Hondo remains his jovial self, insists that it's nothing personal, and that they can all go back to being friends once he has his money. He also has a little bit of a Pet the Dog moment when
 * Goggles Do Nothing
 * Nice Hat
 * Pet the Dog: For

Ziro The Hutt
"Voiced by: Corey Burton"


 * Camp Straight

Pre Viszla
"Voiced by: Jon Favreau"


 * Badass Cape: Complete with dramatic removal prior to dueling Obi-Wan.
 * Badass Normal: Holds his own against a Jedi Master in a lightsaber fight without benefit of Force powers of his own (though this doesn't appear to be particularly unusual for Mandalorian warriors in the series). His ability to leap roughly his own height while wearing full body armor and a jetpack is rather impressive as well.
 * Bald of Evil: Starts rockin' the skinhead look in Season Four.
 * Blond Guys Are Evil: A minor case. He's certainly not as malicious as some of the other Seperatist-aligned characters and his being both blond and an antagonist is balanced out by the fact that almost all Mandalorians in the series are blond.
 * When he shows up in season four, he casually destroys a village, whose women he had kidnapped as servants, simply because they had the gall to demand their people back while asking him to leave. Incidentally, he "returned" the chief's daughter by reuniting them and then killing her.
 * Combat Pragmatist: Will not hesitate to kick, punch or use his jetpack to gain the edge in a fight.
 * Conspicuous CG: Of a sort given it's all CG anyway - compared to everything else, his darksaber looks very strange when activated and looks even more so when it's being waved around. But that's probably the point - to illustrate just how unusual the device is.
 * Does This Remind You of Anything?: His appearance and motivations seem intended to suggest Neo-Nazi parallels.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Gives Obi-Wan his lightsaber back so that they can fight more evenly.
 * Averted when he just planned to execute Ahsoka on the spot after he captured her. She didn't have her lightsabers at the time, but he didn't even give her a sporting chance.
 * Executive Meddling: Was originally meant to fight Obi-Wan with a vibro-sword modeled after those used by Mandalorians in the Knights of the Old Republic games. However, George Lucas mandated that it must have an energy blade to maintain the "special" status of lightsabers, resulting in what's essentially a KOTOR vibro-sword with a black Laser Blade.
 * Evil Versus Evil: He and Dooku have a falling out that leads to Viszla trying to locate and kill Dooku, and Dooku making Viszla an example of Scars Are Forever.
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars
