She was able to use her powers to completely cut off Exar Kun’s Sith apprentice, Ulic Qel-Droma, from the Force, devastating the Sith forces.To make matters a bit more complicated for Nomi, Qel-Droma had once been a friend-and a love interest-before he fell to the Dark Side trying to defeat it from within. One of the earliest badasses in the Legends timeline, Nomi was vital to defeating Exar Kun during the Great Sith War. She also rides a rancor in the first Force Unleashed game, which is one of the coolest things ever put on screen. She joins a group of Force sensitives on Felucia and becomes their leader.

She sought out the survivors of Order 66, trying to find a place where the survivors could heal and carry on the Jedi tradition. When the Jedi Temple on Coruscant was attacked by Anakin and Darth Sidious, Shaak Ti was the Councilor who evacuated the survivors before the Temple could be destroyed. Like Aayla Secura, Shaak Ti was a Jedi General during the Clone Wars and fought in the Battle of Geonosis, rescuing Obi-Wan, Padmé, and Anakin. Eventually, she becomes the head of the Republic clandestine intelligence agency Alpha Blue, which works best outside the rules. During the New Republic Era, Jan works as a spy and mercenary, frequently partnering with Katarn (who has become a Jedi, and with whom she’s romantically involved). After being framed as a terrorist and expelled from the Jedi Order, Ahsoka disappears from the ranks of the Jedi-surviving Order 66-only to turn up in Star Wars Rebels as “Fulcrum,” an agent of the growing Rebellion.Īfter her cover is blown, she becomes a freedom fighter for the Alliance, recruiting Imperial Kyle Katarn into the Rebellion. Taken prisoner at one point, Ahsoka organizes a coup against her captors, freeing herself and the rest of the captive Jedi younglings. Ahsoka TanoĪ fan favorite introduced in The Clone Wars animated series, Ahsoka is Anakan’s Padawan learner and apprentice. Like her uncle, she’s the star of Rogue Squadron, and though she walked perilously close to the Dark Side, she returned to the Light and was named the “Sword of the Jedi” by Luke. Jaina Solo (Fel)įirst Appearance: The Last Command by Timothy Zahnĭaughter of Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo in Star Wars Legends, Jaina not only becomes a Jedi Master who stands against her brother when he turns to the Dark Side, she’s also an amazing pilot. She steals every scene she’s in during The Force Awakens, and we can only hope we’ll eventually find out just how she ended up with Luke’s original lightsaber. It takes a lot of awesome to compete with Yoda as one of the coolest characters in the Star Warsuniverse, but Maz, with her crazy goggles and her knowledge of the Force, is definitely in the running. It takes several books for that deep hatred, seeded into her by the worst father figure ever, to turn into love, but eventually she and Luke get married, ending the string of not-as-cool romantic interests in Luke’s storyline. But when she first encounters the not-yet-Jedi-master, she realizes they need to work together to survive, and overrides the Emperor’s command. Trained as the Emperor’s Hand, her final mission for the Empire is to kill Luke Skywalker. Of all the female characters in Star Wars Legends, Mara Jade, who was introduced in Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy, is undoubtedly the most popular.

She can take care of herself, and others-even when faced with an ex-Jedi trained in mind control trying to torture her. Though we don’t yet know much about Rey’s past (and maybe we never will), it’s clear she’s a survivor. Buy all of your Star Wars books, comics, movies, and games here! Rey Leia goes through a lot, but regardless of the punches she takes, she keeps on going and never turns to the Dark Side (unlike some other Skywalkers). She’s been a mother whose son turned to the Dark Side in not one, but both timelines. She’s become the political leader of the New Republic. In some stories, she has trained as a Jedi. She’s always been a mover and shaker in the anti-Imperial world, and in the EU, she saves Luke from turning to the Dark Side by saving him from a clone of the Emperor-while pregnant with her third child.
