=== Luke Skywalker ===
[[File:
{{quote|
{{quote|
A [[Farm Boy]] from a [[Single Biome Planet|desert planet]], Luke discovers that his father was a Jedi and that he can be one too. This led to him becoming a major figure in the [[La Résistance|Rebel Alliance]], the savior of the galaxy, leader of the reborn Jedi Order and all-around [[Badass]].
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Even before he blew up the Death Star, [[Improbable Aiming Skills|He was capable of bull-eyeing 6 and-a-half foot targets at supersonic speeds.]]
* [[Adorkable]]: His ''awful'' 1970's hairstyle really helps.
* [[Artificial Limbs|Artificial Hand]]: Replaces the one he lost fighting Vader in ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Skywalker.
* [[Badass]]
** [[Ambadassador]]: At the beginning of ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
** [[Handicapped Badass]]: Played with in ''[[A New Hope]]'', when he trains with a blindfold and then refuses to use his targeting computer when shooting the Death Star. Played straight in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'', after he's lost his hand.
** [[Took a Level
* [[Berserk Button]]: Threatening to turn Leia to [[The Dark Side]].
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Luke is overall a [[Nice Guy]] who manages to keep any feelings of strong anger in check most of the time (as it is the Jedi way). However when Luke ''does'' get severely pissed while dueling Vader near the end of Return of the Jedi, his rage overwhelms Vader, a ''sith lord'' whose fighting style involves channeling feelings of pure hate. Beating a Sith at their own game by summoning rage within yourself and using it to beat them, that's quite something.
* [[Big Good]]: After the foundation of the New Jedi Order in the Expanded Universe.
* [[Big No]]: A classic one in ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''
** Also [[Mentor Occupational Hazard|when Obi Wan]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3IVpiO7zZo is killed] in ''[[A New Hope]]''.
** Another one in [[Return of the Jedi|the final duel]] when Vader suggests to turn Leia to the [[Dark Side]].
* [[Black Cloak]] / [[In the Hood]]: This is how he makes his entrance to Jabba's palace in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
* [[Conveniently an Orphan]]: He was raised by his aunt and uncle because his father died during the Clone Wars [[The Reveal|or at least he was told that.]]
* [[Cool Spaceship]]: The Incom T-65 X-wing starfighter.
* [[Did Not Get the Girl]]: Considering the girl is later revealed to be his sister, this [[Justified Trope|is a good thing.]] He has to wait for the [[Expanded Universe]] for his own chance at romance.
* [[Don't Think, Feel]]: A major part of his Jedi training.
* [[Dork Knight]]: Before he [[Took a Level in Badass]]
* [[Farm Boy]]: He was a moisture farm hand on Tatooine before he recieved the [[Call to Adventure]]
* [[Generation Xerox]]: To Anakin Skywalker.
** Also, he's alot like Padme with his almost messianic sense of compassion.
* [[The Gift]]: Luke has tremendous force potential that he inherited from his feather [[The Chosen One|Anakin Skywalker]]. Before his Jedi training, he was able to instinctively reach out and allow the force to guide his hand in blowing up the deathstar. On Hoth, he could telekinetically pull his lightsaber from Ice with some effort and in the reboot comics (current Disney canon) made an entire spaceship shake from an emotional outburst while fighting the leader of the Scar squadron of storm troopers. Vader happened to be close by in his Tie-fighter and even mentioned it.
{{quote|'''Darth Vader:''' The force is ''definitely'' strong with young Skywalker.}}
** While being trained by Yoda in only the span of a few weeks/months, Luke's powers grew so strong that he was capable of feats most Jedi need years of training to perform. Even without any formal combat training or experience using the force in a duel, he was still able to put up a good fight against his father on Bespin. Keep in mind Vader can casually [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomp]] most experience Jedi that engage him in combat. He had to put in real effort(though not his best) in his first duel with his son.
* [[Grew a Spine]]: When he leaves Yoda's training to rescue Han and Leia on Bespin.
* [[The Heart]]: Why Han [[Changed My Mind, Kid|came back to save him.]]
* [[The Hero]]: For the Original Trilogy trilogy and much of the Expanded Universe
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Decides to rescue his friends from Vader although he has little chance against him.
** Also, joining [[La Résistance|the Rebel]] attack on the Death Star despite its low chance of success, as [[Lampshaded]] by Han.
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: His last fight with Vader in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: [[Refusal of the Call|Not at first,]]<nowiki/>but [[The Call Knows Where You Live|then his aunt and uncle were killed.]]
* [[Kung Fu Jesus]]: Since he's a [[Messianic Archetype]] who's also a Jedi.
* [[Last of His Kind]]: He is the said to be the last Jedi knight to be alive from Yoda's death to the foundation of a new Jedi Order.
{{quote|
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: In ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' and to a lesser extent in ''[[A New Hope]]''.
* [[The Load]]: In ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''. Over the course of the film, Luke is actually the cause of the invasion of [[Single Biome Planet|Hoth]] (Vader sensed him and immediately determined it was a [[La Résistance|Rebel]] stronghold); the ambush on Cloud City and subsequent torture of Han; and the crew of the ''Millenium Falcon'' had to go back to rescue Luke.
Line 58 ⟶ 62:
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Luke has mastered them by the start of ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
* [[Reckless Gun Usage]]: Watch very closely as Luke Skywalker [http://irregularwebcomic.net/373.html first ignites his lightsaber] in ''[[Star Wars]]: [[A New Hope]]'' — he doesn't know how long the beam is and yet is pointing it at Obi-Wan.
* [[Sneaky Departure]]: When he goes to confront Vader in [[Return of the Jedi]]
* [[Sword and Gun]]: He uses both his blaster and lightsaber in ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' before only using his lightsaber in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
* [[Tell Me About My Father]]: Once he learns his father was a Jedi he asks several questions about him.
* [[Training
* [[Unskilled But Strong]]: Luke has a high level of force potential that he inherited from his father Anakin Skywalker and his potential is much higher than even normal Jedi. With only a few weeks/months of training Luke could perform feats most Jedi take years to be able to do. By the time he leaves Yoda on Dagoba, he is connected to the force and can feel it unconsciously, He can sense people and communicate telepathically with others, and he was able to hold his own against his father who has decimated armies single handedly. In spite of that, he had then yet to achieve full control, had no experience using the force in battle-especially against another trained force user-and often struggled to adapt when using the force in combat.
** [[Strong And Skilled]]: Much later partially during Return of the Jedi and definitively after, Luke had gained full control over his powers and was able to decimate and entire platoon of [[Elite Mooks|Dark Troopers]] on his own, casually, and even managed to force crush the last one with a gesture.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: His father's blue lightsaber until he lost it against Vader. He made himself a green one afterwards.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Believe it or not, ''he'' was the character originally [[Sacrificial Lion|slated to die]] in ''[[New Jedi Order|Vector Prime]]'' to show that the [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|Yuuzhan Vong]] meant business, but Lucasfilm put a moratorium on visibly killing him, Han, or Leia.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: A major plot point of the EU is how a ''lot'' of people (including Leia) are pissed at him for forgiving Vader after everything he had done.

{{quote|
A smuggler originally hired by Obi-Wan to provide him transport to [[Doomed Hometown|Alderaan]], Han (and his [[Cool Ship]], the ''Millenium Falcon'') became central to the fate of the galaxy. An [[Ace Pilot]] with a [[Deadpan Snarker|sarcastic streak]] and [[I Work Alone|no particular loyalties]] ([[Character Development|initially]]), Han was played by [[Harrison Ford]], who [[Throw It In|improvised many of the character's best lines]].

=== Princess Leia Organa {{color|white|S}} ===
{{quote|
{{quote|
Leia was the (adopted) daughter of Bail Organa and followed his footsteps in becoming the Senator of the [[Doomed Hometown|planet Alderaan]]. She also followed him into the [[La Résistance|Rebel Alliance]], which led to her imprisonment on the Death Star, where two young men and a Wookiee [[Honor Before Reason|with more heroism than sense]] (Luke and Han) broke her out. Then it became clear that she's an [[Action Girl]] in her own right, and things got ''really'' interesting.

=== Obi-Wan Kenobi ===
{{quote|
{{quote|
Introduced in [[A New Hope|Episode IV]] as "Ben Kenobi," Obi-Wan begins Luke's Jedi training and sets him on his course as savior of the galaxy. He fought in the Clone Wars and, as Anakin's teacher, was deeply involved in Anakin's [[Face Heel Turn|fall]] to [[The Dark Side]]. While Anakin is indisputably the [[Main Character]] of the series, Obi-Wan [[Deuteragonist|runs a close second]], and is one of only four characters to appear in every [[Film]] of the series.
* [[Ascend to
* [[The Atoner]]: For training the man who destroyed the Jedi Order.
* [[Badass]]: The only Jedi to have fought ''three'' powerful Sith warriors and lived to tell the tale, of which he defeated two.
**
** [[Badass Beard]]: He had one since his time as a Jeid Knight.
** [[Badass Grandpa]]: Still retains some fighting skill despite his age in [[A New Hope]].
** [[One
** [[Retired Badass]]: By the time of [[A New Hope]].
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Described in the [[Revenge of the Sith]] novelisation as "the ulitmate Jedi" partially because he is "modest, centered and always kind". Nonetheless, if you push him far enough (like {{spoiler|taking part in the murder of almost his entire "family", ie the Jedi Order, including innocent children}}), he is prepared to hack off your limbs and leave you alone to slowly burn to death (although he seems to show some remorse while doing so).
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: To Anakin.
* [[Bond One
* [[Chessmaster]]: Subverted in that he is 1) a good character and 2) his attempts to steer the plot in the direction he wants by keeping information from Luke end up not working, as Luke [[Spanner in
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: From ''[[A New Hope]]'' to ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
* [[Cool Starship]]: ''Delta-7 Aethersprite-class'' light interceptor in ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'' and ''Eta-2 Actis-class'' light interceptor in ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]''.
Line 279 ⟶ 192:
* [[Deuteragonist]]: Especially in the prequels.
* [[Does Not Like Guns]]: Until he's [[Combat Pragmatist|forced to use one]] against Grievous.
* [[Doomed
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Refers to Jar Jar as a "lower life form".
* [[Foreshadowing]]: {{spoiler|"Why do I think you're going to be the death of me, Anakin?"}}
* [[From a Certain Point of View]]: The [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Glory Days]]: Only a pale shadow of the warrior he once was, much like Anakin is.
* [[Guile Hero]]: His in-universe nickname is ''The Negotiator'' (which is slightly ironic when one of the senior Jedi that he reports to is played by [[The Negotiator
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Anakin, after the later becomes a Jedi Knight. The novelization of [[Revenge of the Sith|Episode III]] in particular really brings out the closeness of their friendship.

* [[My Greatest Failure]]: Anakin's fall.
* [[My Death Is Just the Beginning]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Sneaking aboard Padme's ship as she leaves to Mustafar fills Anakin with such an anger when he sees him that Anakin {{spoiler|Force chokes Padme, ultimately killing her.}}
* [[The Obi
* [[Officer and
* [[Old Master]]: In [[A New Hope|Episode IV]].
* [[The Paladin]]
* [[Politically Incorrect Hero]]: Doesn't have much respect for Gungans or Droids.
* [[Psychic Powers]]
* [[The Stoic]]: Has one of the suckiest lives (and [[My Death Is Just the Beginning|afterlife?]]) of any character in fiction, but remains calm, never complains, and usually keeps his emotions well in check. When he starts screaming or gets visibly upset, you know shit just got real.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Anakin's red.
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: To Luke after his death.
* [[Stone Wall]]: The EU establishes that Obi-Wan is the definitive master of Soresu, the defensive lightsaber style. This allows him to perform feats like (during his fight with Grievous) blocking ''twelve lightsaber strikes a second''.
* [[Universal
* [[Tragic Bromance]]: He never gets over what happened to Anakin Skywalker.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Blue lightsaber.

{{quote|
Han Solo's co-pilot aboard [[What a Piece of Junk!|The Alleged Freighter]] ''[[Cool Starship|Millenium Falcon]]'', which he and Han seem to spend more time repairing than flying. Chewie is a Wookiee (read: 8-foot-tall walking carpet) who only speaks in growls and roars.

* [[The Glomp]]: What it's like to be hugged by Chewie.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: His race is intelligent overall but Chewbacca in partiuclar is a first class starship navigator, [[Smart People Play Chess|Dejarik champion]], and one of two people who can keep the Millennium Falcon in one piece.

=== C-3PO and R2-D2 ===
{{quote|
R2 played by: Kenny Baker (suit)
R2 "voiced" by: Ben Burtt }}
A pair of "droids" (short for android, even though only Threepio is man-shaped) who accompany the heroes on their various adventures. Threepio is a "protocol droid" who helps smooth negotiations and understands 6 million forms of communication; he is fussy and quick to proclaim, "[[Once an Episode|We're doomed]]." Artoo is an "astromech droid," basically making him a [[Guy in Back|co-pilot for various starfighters]], and is much more gutsy. Their (one-sided) banter is one of the franchise's main sources of [[Comic Relief]]. C-3PO and R2-D2 are the last of the four characters who appear in all six movies; they are also the only characters to be portrayed by the same ''actors'' throughout all six movies.

Then they escape to Tatooine and 9-year-old Anakin starts putting the moves on her, and we see where this is going. Her other major habit was disguising herself as one of her own handmaids, which is why her "servant" Padmé got so much attention in Episode I.

** The attempted assassination of Palpatine raises doubts as to whether he cares any more than the other Jedi about what [[Muggle|all those non-Force sensitive folks]] will think. And whether he's careful enough to consider that clouding of precognition on which Jedi rely too much could mask traps (and the entire Jedi Order already walked into the trap of Clone Wars), thus any rash moves increase risk of running into one.

The most glaring display of it is when he threatens to [[What the Hell, Hero?|murder]] senator Palpatine. Fine, he's an evildoer, but Anakin ''has a good point'' when he says Palpatine should be given a fair trial, rather than killing the guy in cold blood, which is '''not''' the Jedi way.
** Worse, earlier in the film, Palpatine makes the same justification as to why Anakin should kill Dooku ("He's too dangerous to be left alive"), ''exactly'' the same reason Windu delivers to justify murdering the chancellor. It's clear that Windu and Palpatine are [[Not So Different]] in a way.

A starfighter pilot, Wedge is one of the 9 characters who appears in all three Original Trilogy movies, and one of the ''7'' characters to live through them, despite having no particular role, importance or [[Plot Armor]]. For this reason, he is a major figure in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]], where he is often referred to as the finest pilot in the galaxy, by virtue of having survived more Trench Runs than anyone living or dead.

{{quote|
A Gungan from Naboo, whom Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan stumble upon early in Episode I. Jar Jar represents Lucas' attempt to [[Kid Appeal Character|appeal to the younger crowd]], which he had successfully courted via Ewoks in Episode VI. The problem was that, even when Jar Jar was ''trying'' to be heroic, he had a tendency to just look stupid. Thankfully, Lucas toned down his presence in Episodes II and III. Played by Ahmed Best ([[Ink Suit Actor]] and [[Voice Actor]] both), who has shown a good sense of humor about the whole thing.
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]/[[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Jar Jar is a surprisingly adept fighter, capable of taking out battle tanks '''by himself'''.
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: At his best, he will ''try'' to lay down his life for his friends, even if he is still a....
* [[Dirty Coward]]: A rare and painfully ''embarrassing'' "heroic" example. He is meant to be a [[Lovable Coward]], but they painfully failed.
Line 605 ⟶ 525:
** [[Shoo Out the New Guy]]
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Not Jar Jar himself, mind, but rather, according to him, the Naboo think they're smarter than Gungans. Then Jar Jar proves them right.

* [[The Klutz]]

* [[The Millstone]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Jar Jar's the one who proposes giving Palpatine supreme power.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: ''Possibly''. [[Epileptic Trees|A wildly popular fan theory]] (which Jar Jar's actor has said [[I Knew It!|is partially true]]) suggests that Jar Jar's stupidity is just a clever ruse to fool his Jedi companions and that his [[Lethal Klutz]] behaviour during battles is more than just dumb luck, but instead a force-boosted version of [[Confusion Fu|drunken fist]]. Jar Jar being 'fooled' by Palpatine into ending the senate's democratic status could also be deliberate, rather than an idiot who simply got manipulated. Therefore implying that Jar Jar is either [[The Mole|an agent working for Palpatine]], or even worse, [[The Dog Was the Mastermind|IS a sith lord]]. At the very least, it is extremely plausible that Jar Jar is a force sensitive creature and no one has caught onto this fact. Jar Jar's stunts during TPM are moves which you'd normally only see force users in the series pull off, not ordinary creatures.
** There's also an in-universe allegation of this; in ''Clone Wars'', during a conversation between a clone trooper and CC-5869 aka Stone, when the clone trooper remarks that Jar Jar "is probably going to get himself killed", Stone reassures the clone trooper by replying with:
{{quote|'''Stone''': "Don't worry. He's smarter than he looks."}}
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: Subverted. Gungans are set up as a proud warrior race, then the audience meets Jar Jar...
* [[Serkis Folk]]
* [[The Fool]]: Jar Jar irritatingly seems to stagger his way out of every dangerous situation safely. He also ends up becoming member of the senate despite appearing highly incompetent.
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Mostly in [[Star Wars: The Clone Wars|Star Wars the Clone Wars]], however in Episode II, though still (very) naive and lighthearted, he shows to be more mature and brave than in Episode I.
* [[Unwitting Instigator of Doom]]: His one notable action in the series is to pass a motion that grants Palpatine emergency powers, thus ''causing'' the end of the Republic. In his defense, however, we're talking about [[Manipulative Bastard|Palpatine]] here.

Also known as Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith. [[Big Bad|The man pulling the strings]] [[Magnificent Bastard|from the very beginning]]...and working, all the same time, to subvert Anakin to [[The Dark Side]]. Originally a Senator from Naboo, he was eventually nominated Chancellor of the Republic and ruled with great popularity and acclaim. During the Clone Wars, he began to take emergency war-time powers on himself. All of this would've been pretty [[Winston Churchill]] if he hadn't secretly been [[Adolf Hitler]]; he played both the Republic and the Separatists against each other, wiped out the Jedi, and came out on top. It's interesting to note that, though Palpatine is one of the most important characters in the franchise, he doesn't appear in all six films; he missed Episode IV, just like Yoda did.
* [[
*[[Adaptational Villainy]]: [[Inverted Trope]] for the new Disney canon. Palpatine was much more evil and monsterous in the Legends canon. He had virtualy no redeeming qualities or even principles of any kind. He only saw being a Sith as a means to an end and he could never resist the chance to be a [[Card-Carrying Villain]]. He constanly toremented Vader and purposefully kept him from becoming a threat with a hobbling life support suit and overall could not stop himself from being a big evil bastard. In the new Disney canon, he is a true Sith, a [[Man of Wealth and Taste]], had at the least [[Blue and Orange Morality]] as opposed to no morality, earnestly took to teaching and training Vader, and would only be abusive to Vader if he got out of line or started to weaken and turn away from the darkside. While Palpatine was still a sadist, he would only indulge in his evil whims after succeeding in his more practical goals.
* [[A God Am I]]: Inverted, he believes himself [[God of Evil|to be the Dark Side incarnate.]] Given the little amount of the story revealed for the upcoming Darth Plagueis novel (where he felt a shift in the Force shortly after {{spoiler|murdering Plagueis}} and communicates with it), it's very likely that his belief is well-founded.
** By the time of [[Dark Empire]], however, he's pretty much become the closest thing to a [[Physical God|Phyiscal]] [[God
* [[A Nazi
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Inverted: He actually bullies his dad and mom to get what he wants when his father bans him from racing ever again (and [[Drives Like Crazy|for good reason]]).
* [[The Antichrist]]: Heavily implied to be this in various sources, including the ''Darth Plagueis'' novel. Reading his childhood background on Wookiepedia feels like reading something from Omen.
Line 777 ⟶ 570:
** [[Badass Bookworm]]
** [[Badass Grandpa]]: By this point in time, he's in his 60s.
** [[One
* [[Bad Boss]]: Vader implies in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' that the Emperor is even worse of a boss than himself. The [[Expanded Universe]] confirms it, actually killing an engineer seven times, each more horrifying than the last, just because he made a mistake with the Death Star that resulted in it being blown up.
* [[Big Bad]]: The definitive one for the movie saga, and arguably the most recognizable of all cinematic [[Big Bad
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Who would've guessed that kindly old Chancellor Palpatine was in fact the most evil Sith Lord in the galaxy?
* [[Black Cloak]]
*[[Blue and Orange Morality]]: Palpatine may be a morally bankrupt [[Complete Monster]], that doesn't mean he has no standards or personal principles. Palpatine's greatest trait is his pride due to being so gifted and powerful while being a natural prodigy that can excel in almost anything he does. His standards and principles reflect that.
**In the Legends continuity, he was pure ambition and wasn't afraid to take risks if it meant gaining more power. While he only regarded the Dark Side and Sith as a means to an end to gain power, he also didn't shy away from great risk. In this instance he was not a coward and not above risking himself if needed.
**In the current Canon, Palpatine is a true Sith and believer of Sith philosophy. While he wanted to gain immortality and ultimate power, he also believed in training Vader as a true Sith and even set things up so that if he was destroyed by Vader's hand, Vader would inherit the Empire as per rule of two. He was also more pragmatic in this iteration while being [[Crazy Prepared]], and while still very egotistical and self-assured would give the proper level of weight to any given threat. He also prided himself on being a [[Man of Wealth and Taste]] so he was capable of genuinely praising people for their work like artists and musicians along with rewarding loyal subordinates who have earned his notice while running things day to day.
* [[Boomerang Bigot]]: A Force user who builds a society that persecutes and denies the existence of Force users.
** Inverted. He only did that to [[Irony|prevent]] the [[Return of the Jedi]].
* [[The Caligula]]: Although he was a tyrant by the original trilogy (and expanded universe materials taking place within that time period and/or in-between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope), it was subverted in that Palpatine at least was sane enough to rule his empire effectively enough to actually have a stable, tight gripped rule over the Empire even with the Rebel Alliance until his first death at Endor. However, his resurrection in the Dark Empire arc afterwards has him playing this trope very much straight from then onwards, as he has pretty much become so insane that he ends up not having his empire being successful under his reign. It is also heavily implied that the reason for his increased insanity had to do with his constant transference of his soul into clone bodies.
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Palpatine hated his father because he viewed his father as being grossly incompetent and responsible for his misfortune. Eventually, [[Self
* [[The Chessmaster]]: The way he became Emperor.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Has betrayed everyone who placed trust in him.
Line 797 ⟶ 593:
* {{spoiler|[[Disney Villain Death]]: Vader throws him down the shaft of the second Death Star in Episode VI. We also see him ''explode'' before he hits the bottom into dark side energy.}}
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: He ended up crashing his speeder as well as committing manslaughter against two pedestrians.
* [[Drunk
* [[Eldritch Abomination]] / [[Humanoid Abomination]]: When Darth Tenebrous briefly merged with Darth Plagueis after the latter "betrayed" him had him accessing the witnessing of Plagueis' death at the hands of Palpatine, his future apprentice, and it is also strongly implied that he was genuinely horrified at how evil Palpatine was, given that his first action upon seeing it was to escape from Plagueis' body in a panic.
* [[Electric Torture]]: He ''loves'' him some Force Lightning!
* [[The Emperor]]
* [[Enfant Terrible]]: He went to some of the most prestigious schools in the galaxy, but usually ended up expelled shortly after joining up for petty misdemeanors, and his crimes, regardless of whether they are minor or not, were extensive enough that, had he not been the son of a nobleman nor his father bribe the authorities, he would have spent time in a correctional facility. Then he committed manslaughter while driving his speeder recklessly. This might imply that he is a [[Psychopathic Manchild]] as an adult, albeit a high-functioning type.
* [[Et Tu, Brute?]]: {{spoiler|His murder of Plagueis qualifies as such, as Plagueis certainly did not intend for the Rule of Two to be followed.}}
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone Calls Him The Emperor]]: In the original trilogy anyway.
* [[Evil Brit]]: Played by Scottish actor Ian McDiarmid.
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: If he could, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic in torturing a boy with lightning ''[[Papa Wolf|right next to his father.]]''
* [[Evil Chancellor]]: It takes a bit of digging since he's been around for so long, but he starts as this and is the poster boy.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]:
** Palpatine may be something of [[The Hedonist]] and definitely [[The Sociopath]] he generally shuns and outright loathes people who engage in [[Stupid Evil]]. Say what you will about him but the man is an evil genius and believes in [[Pragmatic Villainy|doing evil right.]]
** Apparently, Palpatine would have hated himself if he used illusions to break his opponent's will, going by what Mara Jade commented upon. Although this isn't really an instance of [[Pet the Dog|Pet The Dog]] as it's probably more due to his ego. Using illusions and the construction of a fantasy would feel like cheating to someone who prides himself on being a [[Manipulative Bastard|Master Manipulator]].
** He was at least smart enough to be aware of how dangerous things could be if messed with so he would often try to be [[Crazy Prepared]] if he going to toy with things that are dangerous as hell. While he commissioned the bio-warfare section of the imperial military to study and weaponize [[The Virus|Blackwing]] which was a creation of sith alchemy that had to potential to create a [[Zombie Apocalypse]], he did have it located on Dandoran, a small world in Hutt Space the was just on the border between the mid and outer rim systems. The world itself was a smuggler's haven with no native peoples and very sparsely populated making a galaxy wide outbreak unlikely should it be released. The only thing he or anyone didn't count on was the fact that Blackwing becomes a [[Hive Mind]] controlling all of the zombies it infects and that [[It Can Think]].
* [[Evil Gloating]]
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: In Episode III in particular.
Line 815 ⟶ 613:
* [[Evil Old Folks]]
* [[Evil Overlord]]: Also a poster boy for this one.
* [[Evil Plan]]: [[Galactic Conqueror]] variety. Everything from the [[Xanatos Gambit]] in the Clone Wars and the one in his apprentice upgrading goes toward this goal.
* [[Evil Redhead]]: He had red hair during his youth. In addition, his fresh clone bodies also possessed red hair.
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Used in the [[Expanded Universe]] to explain why, in a galaxy filled with aliens, the Empire only ever hires humans. Somewhat vague on whether he himself believed this, or merely fostered it because [[Despotism Justifies the Means|it made the galaxy easier to control
** Definitely not the case in current Canon as he had no trouble interacting with and even looked favorably upon Grand Admiral Thrawne despite Thrawne being of the blue skinned Ch'iss race. There were also many more instances of aliens holding high positions in the military and bureaucracy. Most sentiments against aliens where prevalent from before the time of the empire and while Palpatine didn't try to stop racism against aliens, he didn't encourage it either.
** He did look down on non-force sensitives compared to force-sensitives while believing that those who could not use the force were inferior beings. This has more to do with his [[Might Makes Right]] mentality than underlying feelings of bigotry.
** This is [[Truth in Television]] as in real life sociopaths and psychopaths are incapable of selective discrimination and instead see everyone else as either a tool or an obstacle.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Has several. Was nicknamed Wankatine during the Dark Empire arc because of his [[Power Creep, Power Seep]] appearance, and Bowie-peror in the same series because of his resemblance to Goblin King Jareth (played by David Bowie) from Labyrinth. Was also given the fan real-name of Cos Palpatine, derived from a script where he was named Cos Dashit (this ends up being somewhat confirmed with the Darth Plagueis novel, where it heavily implies that Palpatine's full name was "'''Cos'''inga '''Palpatine''' II.")
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]/[[Affably Evil|Affably Evil:]] Palpatine is primarely the first but this only when he's being condecending to his enemies/opponents or when he's being a [[Manipulative Bastard]] and trying to sway people to his side or use them. It's a [[Downplayed Trope]] in regards to the second but he is generally polite and civil in neutral everyday situations where he's not actively being a [[Card-Carrying Villain]]. He tends to respect or at least acknowledge skill and ability in others. He can compliment chefs on their cooking or a musician on their music. He can commend and even reward people for their hard work and going above and beyond. This is [[Truth in Television]] as even sociopaths and narcissists are able to be genuinely polite to the waiter and while being devoid of traditional morality can follow some type of [[Blue and Orange Morality]]. In Palpatine's case, while he is absolutely of the [[It's All About Me]] mindset and has a [[Lack of Empathy]] for everyone else, he believes in having class and sophistication. His personal rules are governed by his pride and being a man of class. It's also one of the reasons why he hated lightsaber dueling in spite of the fact that he had a natural gift for it.
* [[From a Single Cell]]: The method in which he revived himself involved transferring his spirit into clone bodies of himself and continually doing so until his ultimate demise. This process was also heavily implied to have increased his insanity to Caligula levels.
* [[Genocide Backfire]]: He attempted to exterminate everyone in the Jedi Order, and thus made further oppressive laws against force users to prevent the return of the Jedi. It backfired, as the Jedi did return.
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: Strongly hinted at in several [[Expanded Universe]] sources, most notably ''[[Dark Empire]]''.
* [[I Am the Noun]]/[[L'État, c'est moi]]: '''"I AM the senate!"'''
* [[Immortality]]: ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]'' reveals this to be his ultimate goal.
** [[Immortality Immorality]]: The specific method in which he managed to come close to accomplishing this: He has people across the galaxy (including Alderaanians shortly after their planet's destruction) transferred to Byss, which served as a darkside conduit in order to sap their life energies to strengthen himself, he has Leminisk executed and revived seven times just so he can train himself to use essence transfer into his clones in case his original body ends up dying, and he made clones and is capable of doing so even to non-clones and overwrite their original personalities just to ensure he is ensured immortality.
* [[In the Hood]]
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Literally gets away with every crime (or at least gets an extremely tiny in proportion punishment such as expulsion for delinquent behavior from various universities) that he committed, no doubt due to his father's paying off the right authorities. Even Hitler, the guy Palpatine was partly based on, had to do time for his part in the Beer Hall Rebellion.
** [[Laser
* [[Knight Templar]]: The only motivation Palpatine has besides a sociopathic lust for power and control is that he genuinely believed that a Sith-run government was in the Galaxy's best interest.
* [[Known Only By Their Nickname]]:
Line 843 ⟶ 644:
* [[The Mole]]: If only the Jedi had realised that the Dark Lord of the Sith - their sworn enemy - was hiding amongst the politicians they were working for...
* [[Mole in Charge]]: After he becomes the leader of the Republic.
* [[Monster Protection Racket]]: On a galactic scale, and by the time he's found it it's already too late to stop him.
* [[Multiple Choice Past]]: Although Palpatine claims that he hailed from Naboo, it has been speculated that the identity of Senator Palpatine and thus most of his past had actually been fabricated.
* [[My Death Is Only the Beginning]]: Strongly implied to be the cause of his power increase by the time of his revival in [[Dark Empire]].
* [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|My World Doth Protest Too Much]]: Hailing from the peaceful world of Naboo, he becomes a genocidal galactic tyrant and in the front running (if not winner of) the Galaxy's most evil person who ever lived award.
* [[Mysterious Backer]]: Portrays himself as one in the prequel trilogy.
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: If he and Darth Plagueis didn't attempt to unleash negative waves to influence the midichlorians to create the ultimate Sith weapon, the midichlorians wouldn't have essentially bit back and created Anakin to destroy the Sith.
* [[Not So Omniscient After All]]: Palpatine's speech about how everything transpiring according to his design rings a bit hollow when you realize he's talking to the guy he earlier admitted to not actually knowing would be there. Oh and then everything goes to hell for the Imperials soon after.
* [[Number of the Beast]]: The famous Order 66 was undoubtedly inspired by this. It also sounds similar to Order ''90''66, the order to arrest all Japanese-Americans during [[World War II]].
Line 864 ⟶ 665:
* [[Satan]]: Confirmed to represent this by [[Word of God]]. As if Order 66 didn't give you a clue.
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: His face after being disfigured by his own lightning.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: His father often paid off the right people to make several of his misdemeanors "disappear."
* [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them]]: "I AM the Senate!"
* [[Self
* [[Shock and Awe]]
* [[Smug Snake]]: In ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''. Luke even lampshades this by telling him, "your overconfidence is your weakness".
* [[The Sociopath]]
* [[The Starscream]]: Implied with respect to Darth Plagueis; notice his smile when he tells about Plagueis being killed by his apprentice. Of course, these are the Sith. It goes with the job description.
* [[This Is Your Brain
* [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]]: In ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]'' he openly seizes the power that he'd been consolidating up until then.
* [[Uriah Gambit]]: Does it to Maul ''and'' Dooku! It's also pretty clear that he had every intention of doing this to Vader, ordering Luke to kill Vader in front of him.
* [[Villain Ball]]: The shield generators for the newly constructed Death Star are located on the Ewok planet, which turns out to be surprisingly easy to take down, as the course of the movie proves. There ''are'' ground forces on the planet itself guarding it, but not that many; definitely not enough to fight back a bunch of Ewoks, who use insanely primitive methods to wage war. You'd think Palpatine would invest greater resources than that to guard the crucial shield devices, but nope... He is awfully [[Smug Snake|confident]] that [[Tempting Fate|they will remain operational]].
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: When he finally realizes Luke has [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]] and is not going to turn to the Dark Side, he flies off the handle a bit.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Red lightsaber in ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]''. Relies on [[Shock and Awe|Force lightning]] afterwards.
Line 880 ⟶ 682:
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Ian McDiarmid, his actor, considers this the closest thing he has to a redeeming (or at least non-evil) feature. Makes sense, since he himself is a theater actor and director, a job which naturally implies being well-read.
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: After being defeated by Windu.
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: The Clone Wars are designed so that no matter who wins, he ends up with control of the galaxy, though it's pretty clear that a Separatist victory would be Plan B. His various gambits around his apprentices most truly represent this trope, however - by pitting his current apprentice against the potential replacement, he wins no matter the outcome.
** Vader, on the other hand, takes exception to the idea. Heck, if one goes by the Book of Sith, he apparently also knowingly orchestrated Plagueis' involvement and his recruiting him (something that is also strongly implied in his [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] to Plagueis while murdering him).
* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: Likewise, even if things didn't end up going according to what he had originally planned, he manages to modify his plans to take into account the setback so he'd still come out on top regardless. This is especially apparent in ''[[Star Wars Battlefront]] Elite Squadron'', where Renegade Squadron managed to trap Palpatine in one of the Sith tombs long enough to steal a datapad that indicated that he was to personally supervise the second Death Star's completion (he had earlier sent stormtroopers to deal with them as he didn't view them as significant, only to attack them when they not only took care of the stormtroopers, but also proceeded to destroy the artifacts in the tomb he ended up sealed in).
** [[All There in the Manual]] and [[Word of God]] indicated that Amadala's successful arrival on Coruscant was not part of his original plan. He was originally supposed to have Maul retrieve her and kill the Jedi, and he would manipulate the events of the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo to turn it into an full-scale conflict where he would lead the command against the Trade Federation. Her arrival had him modify the plan to both accomodate her arrival, and so his plan becomes a lot more beneficial for him in the long run.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: It is heavily implied in [[Return of the Jedi]], and confirmed in the Expanded Universe, that Palpatine was even more horrific in how he punishes those who fail their task than even the [[Trope Namer]], Darth Vader.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: He has virtually ''everyone'' who ever helped him with his [[Evil Plan]] killed at some point, including Anakin (well, so to speak).

One of the poster children of [[Too Cool to Live]], Fett is a Mandalorian. He was introduced in [[The Star Wars Holiday Special]] but was too cool to stay there, which is saying something considering that the Holiday Special is practically the incarnation of [[Dork Age]].

Don't call him a droid: he's still got biological components. He just happens to live in a mechanical body.

=== Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin ===
{{quote|
In the movies, Wilhuff Tarkin is mostly known as the [[Smug Snake]] running the Death Star; it was he who ordered the destruction of Alderaan, [[Forced to Watch|forcing Leia to watch.]] EU materials have elaborated on his villainy; particularly, it was his idea to rule through fear, which is probably why the Death Star's outrageous [[Power Levels]] appealed to him.
Line 1,082 ⟶ 812:
* [[Big Bad]]: In ''[[A New Hope]]''.
** [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: With Vader. He orders him around a couple of times, but lets him take the initiative more often than not. His authority is probably based on the fact that he is in charge of the Death Star, and thats where Vader happens to be; in most respects they are pretty much equals.
*** Interestingly enough, [[All There in the Manual|supplementary materials]] specify that his position is only the ''sixth'' highest in the empire, behind the Emperor, the Supreme Commander of the military (that's Vader), the Grand Vizier, the Ruling Council chief, and Grand Admirals/Generals.
*** It's mentioned, especially in the Expanded Universe, that he was not only one of Palpatine's strongest and most competent supporters but became one of the main architects behind the Empire itself (which also led to the Emperor giving him the Death Star post). The repercussions of his actions, including the "Tarkin Doctrine" would cast a long shadow extending well into ''[[Star Wars Legacy]].''
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: His son being killed resulted in him becoming even more of a monster than before.
Line 1,094 ⟶ 824:
* [[Karmic Death]]
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: He ''destroyed Alderaan.'' If that wasn't enough, the [[Expanded Universe]] [[Serial Escalation|makes him worse]].
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Carrie Fisher once said he "smelled of Lavender."
* [[A Nazi
* [[Non
* [[Papa Wolf]]: In "Darth Vader and the Lost Command 5", the results of Darth Vader's mission resulted in Tarkin wanting to commit genocide against the natives of Altoa because he thought they murdered his son, and it is also heavily implied in the ending that Palpatine maniplated Vader's actions to bring this about to get Tarkin to become a more willing servant.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: A minor one: He was Gial Ackbar's master when the former was a slave, and its implied that he treated him pretty decently.
** He also promoted General Romondi to be his advisor despite the fact he was senile because they served together in the Empire's early days fighting Separatist holdouts.
* [[Sadistic Choice]]: Between betraying the Rebellion or Leia's home planet. Leia betrays the Rebellion. [[Complete Monster|Tarkin blows up her planet anyway]].
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Tempting Fate]]:"Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances!"
** The radio play had him be a bit concerned, but he wasn't going to show weakness because if he ran and the place didn't get blown to hell, he'd have been utterly humiliated.
* [[Too Funny to Be Evil]]: [[Real Life]] on-set example - when filming, Peter Cushing's [[Putting
=== Jabba the Hutt ===
{{quote|
A very, ''very'' large slug-creature (it took something like 6 puppeteers to control him), leader of a major criminal organization, and the one to whom Han is deeply in debt to after a botched spice run. He was in the script for Episode IV, but it wasn't until VI that technology progressed enough to make him look like anything more than a half-inflated balloon; the Special Edition Ep.IV restores the deleted scenes graced by a [[Serkis Folk|completely CGI]] Jabba. Also had a cameo in Episode I.
* [[Adipose Rex]]
* [[Bad Boss]]: Regularly throws people who displease him into the Rancor Pit.
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]
* [[Bilingual Dialogue]]
* [[Death
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: He had male pleasure slaves too, according to the Expanded Universe.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: He's '''[[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|600 years old]]''', people.
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: For the first act of Episode VI.
* [[The Don]]
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Two actually. First he really cares deeply about his son Rotta and is willing to anything to get him back when he gets kidnapped during the Clone Wars. Second there is is Ephant Mon Jabba's [[Only Friend]] from they used to run guns together.
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Jabba's name has since become shorthand for this in the real world.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: He's smart enough to shrug off a Jedi mind trick.
* [[Hair
* [[Hermaphrodite]]: According to the EU. [[Brain Bleach|You're welcome]].
* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: "Soon you will learn to [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|appreciate]] me."
* [[Jabba Table Manners]]: [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Non
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Jabba the Hutt in the Clone Wars movie cared quite a bit for Rotta the Hutt, his son, to the extent that should any of the two factions harm his son in any way, he will ensure they regretted it. On a related note, his love for his son was apparently strong enough to make him relent and allow Papanoida to make a case against Greedo when he appealed to his love for Rotta to have him help him find his daughters.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Had one moment of this. See [[Papa Wolf]] above.
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]
* [[Right
* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: Justified due to being a huge slug.
** [[Reclining Reigner]]

{{quote|
The [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] leader of the Trade Federation and an [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] during the prequel trilogy. Most prominently featured in Episode I, in which he makes a [[Deal
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Kind of. "Viceroy" is apparently just the title given to the leader of the Trade Federation. However, [[Mega Corp|said organization apparently controls whole planets]]. So, whatever.
Line 1,158 ⟶ 890:
* [[Greed]]: His apparent motivation. EU material (not to mention his attempt to have Padme assassinated in Episode 2) gives it as [[Revenge]] instead.
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Mostly due to being generally bullied around by the ''real'' bad guys. He's not actually a very pleasant individual and in another story might even be a [[Complete Monster]], but all we see is a man out of his depth, and fully aware of it.
* [[
* [[Killed Mid
* [[Lizard Folk]]: Along with apparently everyone who works for the Trade Federation.
** That's because the Neimodians were the only ones who were spared (unsurprisingly due to Palpatine's influence) in an assassination against the other leader races of the Trade Federation.
Line 1,165 ⟶ 897:
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Twice: First time was the aftermath of the invasion of Naboo, second time was during the Separatist wars, and at least until the near end of the conflict, he didn't even know that Darth Sidious was the true leader, or that it was even a Sith orchestrated group.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: In ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]''.

"[[You Have Failed Me...]] for the last time, Admiral Ozzel. Captain Piett?... Make way to land our troops beyond the energy shield, and deploy the fleet so that nothing gets off the system. [[You Are in Command Now]], ''Admiral'' Piett." Yep, that's the character's entire claim to fame (that,and he was the first person to see the back of Vader's head without the helmet).

A ruthless assassin droid, and one of the bounty hunters sent by the Empire to track Han Solo in Episode V. It started placing trackers on all of the bounty hunters' ships that were present and used them to find Solo.
