The Most Beloved Star Wars™ Characters

With an entire galaxy of characters to choose from, picking just a few favorites can be a tough task. From the courageous heroes who fight against the ruthless Empire to the iconic villains who embrace the dark side, each character in the Star Wars™ saga brings something unforgettable to the table. While there are so many to love, here are some of the most iconic characters that fans can’t get enough of.

Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker

It’s hard to name a more iconic Star Wars™ character than Darth Vader himself. The combination of his signature black helmet, deep, commanding voice and famous theme music (The Imperial March) makes him one imposing and unforgettable figure. He’s the bad guy you just can’t help but love.

He wasn’t always a member of the dark side, though. In the Prequel Trilogy, starting with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace™, we meet Anakin Skywalker, a young boy with a love of podracing and a strong connection to the Force. As he grows up, he faces many difficult choices – choices that ultimately lead him to the dark side.

Pay homage to one of the most famous Sith Lords in the galaxy with collectable LEGO® Star Wars sets. The LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader™ Helmet (75304) is a detailed building project that pays tribute to all the sinister details of Darth Vader’s iconic black helmet. It also comes with its own display stand and nameplate.

Luke Skywalker

Star Wars™ fan or not, most people have likely heard the name Luke Skywalker. A farm boy from Tatooine who rises from obscurity to become a legendary Jedi Master, this young hero dreams of adventure beyond his home planet. Guided by Obi-Wan Kenobi, trained by Yoda and armed with an unshakable belief in good, Luke takes on the Sith, destroys the Death Star and ultimately faces his greatest challenge—redeeming his father, Darth Vader.

Celebrate the galaxy’s favorite hero with the LEGO® Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter™ (75355) set from the Ultimate Collector Series. This detailed model replicates Luke Skywalker’s iconic T-65B X-wing, featuring an opening cockpit, adjustable wings and a spot for the included LEGO Star Wars droid figure of R2-D2. Display it proudly on the brick-built stand and relive iconic moments with the exclusive Luke Skywalker minifigure, Lightsaber™ in hand and ready for adventure!

Princess Leia

Princess Leia is a fearless leader and a true hero of the Rebellion. She’s brave, determined and never afraid to stand up for what’s right, whether that means facing down Darth Vader or leading the charge against the Empire. The daughter of Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker (aka Darth Vader), she was adopted by Bail Organa and raised as royalty on Alderaan. She later discovers her twin brother, Luke Skywalker, and together they fight to bring hope to the galaxy.

Recreate one of the most iconic Princess Leia scenes in the franchise with the LEGO® Star Wars™ Tantive IV™ (75376) mid-scale display set. Replicating the iconic starship from the opening scene of Star Wars: A New Hope™, this detailed model features an elongated hull, a distinctive hammerhead cockpit and twin turbo laser turrets. At the beginning of Star Wars: A New Hope, Leia is aboard the Tantive IV when it is intercepted by Darth Vader’s Imperial Star Destroyer. Before being captured, she hides the Death Star plans in R2-D2, setting the events of the original trilogy in motion.

Or you can get creative with the LEGO Star Wars Creative Play Droid™ Builder (75392) set, which allows fans to build and customize models of R2-D2, Chopper (C1-10P), QT-KT and R5-J2. It also features a special LEGO Star Wars 25th anniversary minifigure of Young Princess Leia with her trusty droid companion, Lola (L0-LA59)!

Han Solo

Pilot. Smuggler. Hero. Scruffy-looking nerf herder.

Han Solo is one of the most iconic characters of the Star Wars™ galaxy, known for his roguish attitude and expert flying skills. Introduced in Star Wars: A New Hope™, Han is paid to smuggle Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan, R2-D2 and C-3PO in his starship, the Millennium Falcon (aka the “fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy”). But throughout the series, Han proves himself to be a true hero, playing an integral part in the Rebel Alliance’s fight against Darth Vader and the Empire, helping to bring freedom to the galaxy in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™.

Show your love for the smuggler with the LEGO® Star Wars Millennium Falcon™ (75375). This detailed model of the famous starship was built to mark the 25th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars in 2024 and is a true collector’s item for any Star Wars fan.

From its dynamic placement on the buildable stand to the nameplate and special LEGO Star Wars 25th anniversary brick, this set is sure to delight fans of Han Solo and his starship.

Chewbacca

We’ve all heard that sound, like a cross between a humpback whale and a grizzly bear. That’s right, we’re talking about Chewbacca! Tall, hairy and Han Solo’s right-hand Wookiee, this character is one of the most beloved of all. Don’t underestimate him though. He may be a big softie when it comes to his friends, but he’s quite the fighter. Just ask those who didn’t let the Wookiee win at Dejarik…

To pay homage to the galaxy’s favorite Wookiee, the LEGO® Star Wars™ Desert Skiff & Sarlacc Pit (75396) set makes a great choice. Fans can recreate the iconic scene from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™ where Han Solo and his companions are captured by Jabba the Hutt. This dynamic set features a detailed desert skiff, a Sarlacc pit with tentacles and LEGO Star Wars minifigures of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca and more.

R2-D2 and C-3PO

This dynamic droid duo has been on countless adventures together throughout the Star Wars™ saga. C-3PO, originally built by a young Anakin Skywalker out of spare parts, is a protocol droid fluent in over 6 million forms of communication! R2-D2 is an astromech droid who communicates primarily in clicks and beeps (and the occasional scream). Their friendship is one of the most beloved aspects of the Star Wars saga.

Build a playful centerpiece of one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars galaxy with the LEGO® Star Wars R2-D2™ (75379) set. Once fully assembled, the brick-built figure stands at 25cm tall, and features a 360-degree rotating head, a detachable third leg, an attachable periscope and additional attachable tools. Finish off this impressive piece of Star Wars memorabilia with the R2-D2 information plaque, the LEGO Star Wars Darth Malak minifigure and the LEGO R2-D2 droid figure.

But what is R2-D2 without his companion? The LEGO Star Wars C-3PO™ (75398) set features a detailed buildable version of the iconic protocol droid, standing tall with movable limbs and a gold finish, making it the perfect companion to the R2-D2 set for fans looking to complete their droid duo.

Want to expand your LEGO Star Wars droid lineup even further? The LEGO Star Wars Chopper (C1-10P)™ Astromech Droid (75416) set is the perfect next addition. The scrappy, troublemaking astromech from Star Wars Rebels™ is authentically captured in this awesome building kit.

Grogu and The Mandalorian

Grogu, affectionately known by fans as "Baby Yoda", is a tiny, adorable alien with big ears, even bigger eyes and some seriously impressive Force abilities. Despite his cuteness, he’s a powerful little creature who’s been through a lot and has formed a special bond with his protector. Din Djarin, also referred to as the Mandalorian, is a tough, no-nonsense bounty hunter who follows a strict code and wears distinctive Mandalorian armor. His mission? To capture Grogu. But once they meet, he can’t help but become a father figure to the little guy.

Now you can bring home a buildable version of the lovable Grogu with the LEGO® Star Wars Grogu™ with Hover Pram (75403) set!

She’s got talent, determination and a whole lot of growth as she faces some serious challenges. After a major shake-up with the Jedi Council, Ahsoka decides to do things her own way, stepping into the fight against the Empire in style with her iconic dual Lightsabers™.

While serving the sinister First Order, Kylo betrays his father and makes it his mission to destroy all Jedi. But the path isn’t always easy for Kylo.
