Anakin Kills Younglings During Order 66
The following sequence is one of Star War's saddest moments as we see Jedi after Jedi fall and witness Yoda's devastation as he feels his comrades die. Even worse, a now-turned Anakin leads a battalion into the Jedi Temple, and they begin slaughtering everyone in sight.
The most popular Star Wars character is Darth Vader. With his imposing presence, iconic black armor, and unforgettable deep voice, he has become an enduring symbol of the Star Wars franchise.
Legend had it that Yoda—a Jedi who became Grand Master—was trained by N'Kata Del Gormo. A Force-sensitive Hysalrian, N'Kata Del Gormo was trained in the ways of the Force and achieved the rank of Master within the Jedi Order.
1. Emperor Palpatine. Darth Sidious infiltrated the heart of the Republic and twisted it into the Empire, sparked a terrible war that engulfed the entire galaxy in fire and ash, corrupted once-noble Jedi to his cause, and executed Order 66 to erase the Jedi Order from existence.
Jar Jar Binks first appears in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace as a bumbling, foolish Gungan from the planet Naboo who is banished by his tribe as punishment for his clumsiness. He is nearly killed by a Trade Federation transport, only to be saved at the last minute by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson).
#1 – Yoda. Yoda is widely considered to be the greatest Jedi of all time, and with good reason. He is a master of the Force, a skilled warrior, and has an unmatched wisdom that comes from centuries of experience.
Anakin Skywalker completed his journey to the dark side in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith with the slaughter of the younglings at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
Darth Sidious was able to cheat his upcoming death by transferring his spirit into a clone body while falling into the reactor core of the second Death Star. He later sought to prolong his existence by futilely manipulating his grandchild Rey into killing him so he could live further by possessing her body.
Thousands of Jedi throughout the galaxy were killed, including Ki-Adi-Mundi on Mygeeto, Aayla Secura on Felucia, Plo Koon in the skies of Cato Neimoidia, Stass Allie on Saleucami, Depa Billaba on Kaller, Jaro Tapal in the Bracca system, and even Jedi younglings.
Star Wars fans were first introduced to Rotta the Hutt in The Clone Wars movie, during which Ahsoka and Anakin must return the huttlet to his father, Jabba the Hutt. You may best know him as “Stinky,” the nickname Ahsoka gave him for presumably obvious reasons.
Jabba the Hutt — whose name has become a taunt for real fat people in the real world — appeared in the original film trilogy for the sole purpose of repulsion.
The dread lord Darth Sidious -- also known as the Emperor, formerly known as Sheev Palpatine, Supreme Chancellor of a long-dead Republic -- has been the galaxy's key proponent of evil, fear, and terror for a long, long time.
Much like Palpatine, Darth Caedus was able to take control of the galaxy but he didn't lead nearly as long. However, his reign was still full of brutality and in a lot of ways, he was worse than Palpatine.
Boba Fett was definitely dead. We all saw it: a partially blinded Han Solo unknowingly whacked him with a stick in Return of the Jedi, his jetpack malfunctioned, and then he fell into the mouth of a massive sand monster. You could tell by the way it swallowed and belched.
Yoda was a wise, experienced, and powerful Grand Master of the Jedi of an unknown species and the oldest known prophet in existence (having lived at least 900 years), considered the wisest and most powerful Jedi Master within the Star Wars universe.
The Prime Jedi was an individual who became the first Jedi to ever use the Force. The Prime Jedi was also the founder of the Jedi Order. The Prime Jedi established the Order on the planet Ahch-To, around 25,025 BBY.
Chewbacca is the loyal friend and first mate of Han Solo, and serves as co-pilot on Solo's spaceship, the Millennium Falcon; together they help the Rebel Alliance defeat the Galactic Empire and restore freedom to the galaxy.
Disney-era Star Wars like The Force Awakens offer a diverse set of heroes for kids to identify with. In terms of role-modeling, there are plenty of great heroes for boys and girls.
