Beginning in the late 1970s, George Lucas told us a story taking place in a galaxy far, far away. Little did he know how massive his Star Wars franchise would be. What spawned a successful trilogy of films quickly grew into a massive universe of movies, TV shows, comics, and books. The franchise is still growing to this day, with Solo: A Star Wars Story hitting theaters and Episode IX slated for release next year.
Since the introduction of timeless heroes like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo as well as memorable villains like Darth Vader and Boba Fett, the series has only gotten bigger, bringing more characters in the galaxy to tell amazing stories. While not all of the stories Star Wars has to offer land all that well, there's a lot to love with their various characters.
Now that the franchise is starting to grow in the mainstream once again (due to the release of the new trilogy and a few spin-off movies), we'll be taking a look at most of the characters that have been created up to this point. Your job will be to rate them. After that, we'll tell you whether you fall on the Light or Dark Side of the Force.
Rate these characters and we'll tell you if you're a Jedi or Sith at the core.
How would you rate Padme Amidala?
Padme Amidala was a fairly controversial character from the prequel trilogy. Being the ruler of Naboo, she would later become a Senator who fell in love with Anakin Skywalker. She would die giving birth to twins who would later help restore the galaxy to its former glory and bring balance to the Force.
How would you rate Kylo Ren?
Kylo Ren is the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa. He was trained by Luke in the ways of the Light Side of the Force, but he was quickly seduced by the Dark Side. However, he constantly walks the line between good and bad, only operating to see his own ideals met and the death of the old ways.
How would you rate Kit Fisto?
Kit Fisto is one of the Jedi who operated during the Clone Wars and appeared in the prequel trilogy. He didn't do much other than help the other Jedi fight during the Battle of Geonosis. He would meet his end in Revenge of the Sith when the Jedi Council confronted Chancellor Palpatine as the Dark Lord of the Sith.
How would you rate K2SO?
K2SO was one of the characters in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Played by Alan Tudyk, he is often cited as the best part of the movie. Being a sarcastic robot, he says the first thing comes to his mind and doesn't apologize for it. Unfortunately, he reaches the same fate that the rest of Rogue One does.
How would you rate Jar Jar Binks?
If you could sum up the problems with The Phantom Menace in three words, it would be Jar Jar Binks. This Gungan was the most ridiculous and irritating character ever part in the Star Wars saga. With silly dialogue and moments that never service the films, it wasn't long before George Lucas removed the character from the series.
How would you rate Princess Leia?
Princess Leia was one of the first women in film to be strong-willed. Despite being a princess, she subverted the expectations of females in movies at the time. She was excellent with a gun and wasn't afraid to take the fight straight to the Empire. She also had a knack for sticking it to the man.
How would you rate Wicket?
Wicket is the only Ewok to ever be given a name. First appearing in Return of the Jedi, this killer teddy bear would reappear in other Star Wars media. He even had his own TV show that no one likes to talk about. At least he was helpful during the Battle of Endor.
How would you rate Cad Bane?
Cad Bane was the second-best bounty hunter during the Clone Wars, only behind Jango Fett. That said, he was excellent at taking the fight to the Jedi and coming up with creative ways to get the job done. After Jango died at the Battle of Geonosis, Cad Bane quickly became the most desired bounty hunter in the galaxy.
How would you rate General Hux?
General Hux is the leader of the First Order, only behind Supreme Leader Snoke. Together with Captain Phasma, he designed a new training regimen for Stormtroopers that would create more effective soldiers than the Galactic Empire. He was the one who suggested taking in new recruits as opposed to just creating clones over and over again.
How would you rate Poe Dameron?
Poe Dameron is easily the best pilot in the Resistance. With the help of his droid, BB-8, he has conquered a lot of enemy ships in his day. Unfortunately, his excellent skills have turned him into a cocky hotshot. His decisions wound up in the deaths of several people at the hands of the First Order. He also doesn't take orders well.
How would you rate Grand Moff Tarkin?
Grand Moff Tarkin was the head honcho of the first Death Star during A New Hope. When Princess Leia was captured by the Galactic Empire, he was the one who interrogated her about the Rebel base. When she refused to give him the coordinates, he had the Death Star set its sights on Alderaan and have it destroyed in a matter of seconds.
How would you rate Han Solo?
Han Solo is the trademark outlaw character. First appearing in the Mos Eisley Cantina (where he shot Greedo first), Han Solo would reluctantly travel with Luke, Leia, and Obi Wan to help save the galaxy. He goes on an arc throughout the original trilogy to go from a morally grey smuggler to a true hero willing to risk his life.
How would you rate Emperor Palpatine?
Emperor Palpatine is known as the guy who won. After orchestrating a long-term plan for decades, he managed to sneak his way into the Republic and take over from within. Then, once people discovered who he was, he seduced their greatest apprentice to the Dark Side and killed all of the Jedi in one swift blow.
How would you rate Lando Calrissian?
We first met Lando Calrissian in The Empire Strikes Back. Being the leader of Cloud City, it was clear that he and Han Solo had some history (which is explored in Solo: A Star Wars Story). Lando, unfortunately, was compromised by Darth Vader and Boba Fett and set up the galaxy's heroes to be beaten by the Galactic Empire.
How would you rate Darth Vader?
Darth Vader is not only one of the best Star Wars villains, but one of the best movie villains. Making his grand entrance in A New Hope, he had a terrifying presence throughout the entire original trilogy, including one a classic plot twist. Vader was scary, powerful, and everything anyone could possibly want from an antagonist.
How would you rate Count Dooku?
Count Dooku was once a Jedi and the apprentice of Master Yoda. However, he was seduced by Darth Sidious and turned to the ways of the Dark Side. He took the name of Darth Tyranus and became one of the most dangerous leaders in the Clone Wars. He even trained General Greivous in the ways of the Force and how to counter it.
How would you rate Chirrut Imwe?
Chirrut Imwe was the most interesting cast member in Rogue One. Being a blind warrior, he made himself known by solely relying on the Force to guide him. He was able to fight in impressive ways due to this connection. However, he didn't work alone and had a friend to watch his back and keep him out of danger.
How would you rate Chewbacca?
Chewbacca, when we first meet him, is a companion of Han Solo and a fellow smuggler. While he never says actual words, Chewie is understood by those who get to know him. He also carries a crossbow that happens to be one of the most powerful guns in the history of Star Wars (Battlefront players can attest to it).
How would you rate Captain Phasma?
Captain Phasma was the leader of the Stormtroopers of the First Order. Her training methods were brutal yet effective. She was a character who showed no mercy and was willing to snuff out any non-compliance in the entire regime. She was known for breaking down her soldiers' sense of self, so that they only saw themselves as expendable warriors for the First Order.
How would you rate Asajj Ventress?
Asajj Ventress had a rough life. She was trained in the ways of the Force and was the best apprentice that Count Dooku ever had. However, her rising power concerned the Emperor, who forced the Sith to betray her. Ever since that day, she became a Grey Jedi and a bounty hunter, constantly looking for her own place in the galaxy.
How would you rate Anakin Skywalker?
Anakin Skywalker was seemingly born of the Force. Having a knack for understanding the supernatural, he was taken in by the Jedi Order and trained in the ways of the Light Side. However, he was a volatile young man and easily seduced by the Dark Side of the Force to become the greatest Sith Lord in history: Darth Vader.
How would you rate Ahsoka Tano?
Ahsoka Tano was the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars. After she was framed for bombing a Jedi Temple, the Council convicted her and she left the Order for good. Becoming a Grey Jedi, she would later return to the fight during Star Wars Rebels to go against her old master in a duel to the death.
How would you rate Admiral Ackbar?
It's a trap! Those are the famous words of Admiral Ackbar, who served with the Rebel Alliance during the days of the Galactic Empire. His claim to fame would come in Return to Jedi, when he was fighting alongside Lando Calrissian. He would later reprise his role in The Force Awakens before meeting his end in The Last Jedi.
How would you rate Bossk?
Bossk was another famous bounty hunter. Working with Boba Fett at a young age, he would become known across the galaxy. His skills would precede him so much that Darth Vader would call upon his efforts when he needed bounty hunters to bring in Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. Apart from that, Bossk didn't do much in the films.
How would you rate Jabba the Hutt?
When it came to running the criminal underground in the city, none were better than Jabba the Hutt. This ugly creature had the entire galaxy in the palm of his hand. Having dealings with bounty hunters, smugglers, and politicians, there was no battle that he couldn't win just with his resources alone. He also had a beautiful pet.
How would you rate Yoda?
Yoda is one of the greatest Jedi who ever lived. He was also one of the few who saw the error in the Jedi Council's ways during the days of the Republic. Living out the rest of his days on Dagobah, he would train Luke Skywalker as his last apprentice before becoming one with the Force and turning into a ghost for the rest of eternity.
How would you rate Wedge Antilles?

How would you rate Watto?
Watto was a character in The Phantom Menace. He had both Anakin and his mother in slavery. It wasn't until Qui Gon Jinn made a special bet that he was able to get Anakin out of bondage. Watto was extremely greedy and had his own set of droids to do his dirty work at all times. He was also renowned for being extremely ugly.
How would you rate the Grand Inquisitor?
The Grand Inquisitor was one of Darth Vader's deadliest servants. Pledging his life to the Dark Lord of the Sith, he led a group of Jedi Hunters known as the Inquisitors. The big draw to him was that he had a lightsaber hilt that could spin around at his command. He would eventually meet his end, but not without taking down a significant number of Jedi.
How would you rate General Grievous?
General Grievous was introduced in Revenge of the Sith. Being a cyborg trained in the lightsaber arts by Count Dooku, he posed a serious threat to the Jedi. He had killed several Jedi in his time and took their lightsabers. When fighting Obi Wan Kenobi, he whipped out 4 sabers of different colors, seemingly having the upper hand.
How would you rate R2D2?
R2D2 is one of the most courageous and resourceful R2 units in the entire Star Wars saga. Carrying the message from Princess Leia to Obi Wan Kenobi, his legacy was cemented in the universe. He would later carry the map to Luke Skywalker and help the Resistance in their efforts to save the galaxy from the First Order.
How would you rate DJ?
DJ was a character who appeared in The Last Jedi. He met up with Finn and Rose while they were on Canto Bight.

How would you rate Jango Fett?
Jango Fett was the best bounty hunter in the galaxy during the Clone Wars. Being the prime specimen of a man, it was his template that was used to create the Clone Army. He fought the Jedi Order during the Battle of Geonosis, where he lost his head. However, his death would spawn the rage and fury of his son, Boba Fett.
How would you rate C3PO?
This is C3PO: human cyborg relations. Built by Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace, this brilliant droid has had a hand in just about every conflict in the Star Wars saga, appearing in every film in the series (except for Solo: A Star Wars Story). That said, many people think he's fairly annoying.
How would you rate Boba Fett?
Boba Fett is the best bounty hunter there ever was, bar none. After the death of his father, he took up the family legacy and became excellent at his trade. Having a vendetta against the Jedi, he spent many years hunting them down and taking their lightsabers as trophies. Unfortunately, the movies would never show us this version of the character.
How would you rate Rey?
Rey is the protagonist of the newest Star Wars trilogy and the one that is supposed to keep the Jedi legacy alive. Born and abandoned on the waste planet of Jakku, Rey would lead a mild life until she rescued BB-8 and ran into the former Stormtrooper, Finn. She would train in the ways of the Force, but also be extremely tempted by the Dark Side.
How would you rate Finn?
Finn was a Stormtrooper in the First Order. Despite all of the conditioning that he went through, he still had a conscience. During his first mission on Jakku, he didn't have the heart to kill anyone at the village. Because of this, he busted Poe Dameron out of prison and helped him escape the clutches of the First Order. He's been with the Resistance ever since.
How would you rate Ezra Bridger?
Between the time of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, the Rebel Alliance was planning how they would win back the galaxy.

That said, he had to make some tough choices while being trained.
How would you rate Saw Gerrera?
Saw Gerrera first appeared on Star Wars Rebels, helping them fight off the Galactic Empire. He would later appear in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as an old man.

How would you rate Jyn Erso?
Jyn Erso was raised by people who were quite important to the Galactic Empire. After they were killed before her very eyes, she went on the run and became a bit of a rebel herself. Eventually, her skills would gain the attention of the Rebel Alliance, who drafted her to steal the plans to the Death Star and save the galaxy.
How would you rate Qui Gon Jinn?
Qui Gon Jinn was the master of Obi Wan Kenobi. However, he wasn't such a stickler for the rules. As a matter of fact, he never wanted to be on the Jedi Council in favor of a more unorthodox approach to solving problems. Because of his style, though, he ended up learning the greatest Force ability known to the Light Side.
How would you rate Orson Krennic?
Orson Krennic was the villain of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Being one of the higher-ups in the Galactic Empire, he's about as evil as you might expect. He presents a decent threat and helps get the Death Star in working order. As a precursor to Grand Moff Tarkin, he does what you would expect him to.
How would you rate Mace Windu?
One of the strongest members of the Jedi Council was Mace Windu. Having a brutal approach when it came to fighting and using the Force, he still had his head in a fog much like the rest of the Council. He met his end in Revenge of the Sith when he fought Darth Sidious. The Emperor, with the help of Anakin, through Windu out of a building.
How would you rate Maz Kanata?
Maz Kanata had her own little cafe during The Force Awakens. She also knew Han Solo, who showed up at her door with Rey and Finn. What was most interesting about Maz is that she somehow had hold of Luke Skywalker's blue lightsaber, which she would give to Rey. She never did explain how it got there, though.
How would you rate Greedo?
Greedo is another one of Jabba the Hutt's bounty hunters. When it was time for Han Solo to pay up, Greedo met him at Mos Eisley to try and get him to fork over the cash. Later edits of A New Hope showed Greedo shooting first so that Han didn't seem like such a bad guy. And, yes, it looks just as bad as you might think.
How would you rate Owen Lars?
Owen Lars lived on Tatooine and was a relative of Anakin Skywalker. After the death of Padme and the rise of Darth Vader, Obi Wan took the infant Luke to Owen and his wife for them to raise.

How would you rate Luke Skywalker?
Luke Skywalker was the first protagonist of the Star Wars franchise. Growing up on Tatooine, he quickly gets wrapped up in a tale much bigger than himself. After helping Princess Leia and meeting Obi Wan Kenobi, he quickly finds that he is Force sensitive and that his father is the terrible Darth Vader. He then has to balance the light and dark within him to win the day.
How would you rate the Jawas?
The Jawas are little scavengers that live on Tatooine. They make their living by taking droids and fixing them for resale. They travel the sands on their massive machines. However, they had their own fair share of tragedy when the Stormtroopers heard that they had gained custody of R2D2 and were going to sell it.
How would you rate Darth Revan?
Darth Revan is one of the most interesting characters. While on a mission to defeat the Sith, he was tortured to become one. Being one of the strongest enemies ever known, his memory was wiped so that he'd become a Jedi once again. Because of this shift in perspective, he was known as the Prodigal Knight.
How would you rate the Rancor?
The Rancor is a beast that lives underneath Jabba's Palace. When the greedy Hutt wants to get rid of someone he doesn't like, he simply activates the trap door and sends them down to fight the monster. The only one who managed to make it out of the pit alive was Luke Skywalker, who had the power of the Force on his side.
