15 Worst Star Wars Characters In Far Away Galaxy

Fans have met hundreds of faces across movies, TV, and animation, and not all of them landed the way the creators hoped. This list looks at characters who drew confusion, controversy, or head scratching moments while still playing notable roles in the saga. You will find details on where they appear, what they do in the story, and how they connect to the wider galaxy. Think of it as a quick guide to the people who made waves for reasons beyond heroics or villainy.

Jar Jar Binks

Introduced in ‘The Phantom Menace’, Jar Jar is a Gungan from Naboo who becomes a companion to Qui Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi. He later serves as a representative in the Galactic Senate in ‘Attack of the Clones’. His Senate motion grants emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine, which accelerates the fall of the Republic. Ahmed Best performed the character with motion capture and voice, and the role became a major point in franchise discussions.

Rose Tico

Rose debuts in ‘The Last Jedi’ as a Resistance maintenance worker who partners with Finn on a mission to Canto Bight. She helps disable the First Order hyperspace tracker and later evacuates to Crait. The character returns in ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ with a smaller on screen role focused on command and logistics. Kelly Marie Tran portrays Rose and became a prominent figure at events and panels tied to the sequel trilogy.

Captain Phasma

Phasma serves as a First Order stormtrooper commander introduced in ‘The Force Awakens’. She oversees Starkiller Base security and is forced by Finn and Han Solo to lower the shields during the assault. In ‘The Last Jedi’ she fights Finn on the Supremacy before falling during the ship’s destruction. Gwendoline Christie’s imposing armor design led to heavy marketing across books, comics, and toys.

General Hux

Armitage Hux is a senior First Order officer who commands Starkiller Base in ‘The Force Awakens’. He delivers the speech announcing the attack that destroys the Hosnian system. In ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ he is revealed as a spy for the Resistance out of rivalry with Kylo Ren. Domhnall Gleeson portrays Hux across the sequel trilogy and appears in tie in materials that chart his rise from the Unknown Regions.

Supreme Leader Snoke

Snoke appears in ‘The Force Awakens’ and ‘The Last Jedi’ as the dark side master of Kylo Ren and commander of the First Order. He communicates via giant holograms and later summons Rey and Kylo to his throne room on the Supremacy. Kylo kills him using the crossguard lightsaber while Snoke is mid monologue. Expanded sources connect Snoke to Exegol and the cloning efforts seen in ‘The Rise of Skywalker’.

Nute Gunray

Viceroy Nute Gunray leads the Trade Federation’s blockade and invasion of Naboo in ‘The Phantom Menace’. He works with Darth Sidious and orders the use of battle droids against the Naboo people. Gunray faces the Galactic Senate in ‘Attack of the Clones’ and continues plotting with the Separatists in ‘Revenge of the Sith’. The character is a central Neimoidian figure across films, ‘The Clone Wars’, and reference guides.

Ziro the Hutt

Ziro appears in ‘The Clone Wars’ as Jabba’s flamboyant uncle who operates on Coruscant. He collaborates with Count Dooku and has dealings that embarrass Hutt leadership. Cad Bane later breaks him out of prison and a family dispute ends his run. Ziro’s episodes intersect with Padmé Amidala’s investigations and showcase Hutt politics beyond Tatooine.

Watto

Watto is a Toydarian junk dealer on Tatooine introduced in ‘The Phantom Menace’. He owns Anakin and Shmi Skywalker as slaves and gambles with Qui Gon Jinn over the boy’s freedom. In ‘Attack of the Clones’ he is found in a reduced state after selling Shmi to Cliegg Lars. The character’s shop includes podracer parts and various scrap that link to broader Outer Rim trade.

Vice Admiral Holdo

Amilyn Holdo takes command of the Resistance fleet in ‘The Last Jedi’ after the bridge of the Raddus is destroyed. She plans a quiet evacuation to Crait while maintaining radio silence to prevent First Order interception. Holdo pilots the flagship into hyperspace to sever the Supremacy and its escorts in a maneuver later studied in canon discussions. Laura Dern portrays Holdo and the character appears in the novel ‘Leia Princess of Alderaan’.

Constable Zuvio

Zuvio is a law officer from Niima Outpost on Jakku who was promoted heavily in ‘The Force Awakens’ merchandise. The character’s scenes did not appear in the final cut of the film. He features in a short story and visual guides that outline his role keeping order among scavengers. Zuvio remains a well known example of on screen material shifting during the editing process.

Toro Calican

Toro shows up in ‘The Mandalorian’ as a rookie bounty hunter seeking guild credibility. He recruits Din Djarin to help capture Fennec Shand on Tatooine. Toro betrays his partner after learning Fennec’s value and attempts a hostage play that ends at the Razor Crest. His episode highlights the guild’s code and the dangers of chasing quick status in the Outer Rim.

Ben Quadrinaros

Ben Quadrinaros competes in the Boonta Eve Classic podrace in ‘The Phantom Menace’. His engines fail to ignite properly and then explode off the frame at the starting line. The character appears in games and guides that catalog podracer stats and track layouts. He stands out in racing rosters for a design focused on comedic mechanical misfortune.

Elan Sleazebaggano

Elan is a Balosar death stick dealer who approaches Obi Wan Kenobi in ‘Attack of the Clones’. A simple Jedi mind trick convinces him to rethink his life choices and go home. Reference books expand on his background in the Coruscant nightlife scene. The character’s name and brief exchange became a frequent quote among fans of the prequel era.

Lady Proxima

Lady Proxima rules the White Worms on Corellia in ‘Solo A Star Wars Story’. She controls street level operations that ensnare young Han and Qi’ra. A confrontation in her lair ends when Han exploits her weakness to sunlight to escape. Proxima’s presence frames the early criminal environment that pushes Han toward the wider underworld.

DJ

DJ appears in ‘The Last Jedi’ as a slicer found in the Canto Bight jail who helps Finn and Rose infiltrate the Supremacy. He demonstrates skills with security systems and code breaking while showing no loyalty to either side. DJ sells the Resistance plan to the First Order and departs with his payment. The character’s name reflects his philosophy of engagement only for a price rather than a cause.
