Luke Skywalker's introduction early in the first movie was rewritten to establish this. The presence of ordinary humans in the story is important dramatically and the first movie establishes their vulnerability and weakness. Star Wars humans are mostly biologically identical to real-life humans. They are the only race accepted as pure by Emperor Palpatine.īy the time the hyperdrive was invented, humans were already present on a few scattered worlds throughout the galaxy according to the New Essential Chronology, the humans of Coruscant managed to send out a number of 'sleeper ships' between the fall of the Rakatan Infinite Empire and the invention of the hyperdrive. Humans are native to many different worlds, and they are characterized by multidimensional complex personalities that are both individual and unique. They are the most numerous and dominant species, with apparently millions of major and minor colonies galaxy-wide. Humans are a sentient, sapient species in the fictional Star Wars universe.

To see those or characters who do not exist at all in the current Star Wars canon, see the list of Star Wars Legends characters and list of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic characters.

Some of the characters featured in this list have additional or alternate plotlines in the non-canonical Legends continuity. No droid characters are included, so for those, see the list of Star Wars droid characters. The list is organized in humans and various alien species. As such, the list contains only information from the Skywalker Saga films, the 2008 animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and works published after April 2014. Following its acquisition by The Walt Disney Company in 2012, Lucasfilm rebranded most of the novels, comics, video games and other works produced since the originating 1977 film Star Wars as Star Wars Legends and declared them non-canon to the rest of the franchise. This incomplete list of characters from the Star Wars franchise contains only those which are considered part of the official Star Wars canon, as of the changes made by Lucasfilm in April 2014.
