General Grievous
Grievous was once a Kaleesh named Qymaen Jai Sheelalmed, from the planet named Kalee, but when he had betrayal on his homeworld he turned to the CIS and its allies for help. However secretly they planted a bomb on Grievous's ship, which left him mortally wounded. This was all part of the Sith's plans to enlist Grievous as a new warrior, for he came to them to ask for their help in revenge and they were only too glad to help, for now as a cyborg with 4 arms, they placed him in a new position of great power, that of the leader of the droid armies.
For some years Grievous led with might and defeated several Jedi, of which he took their Lightsabres as trophies, and at any time he did lose, he simply fled the scene, living to fight another day or to let his Magna guards deal with them.
On many occasions he challenged the likes of Ahsoka Tano, Anakin and Obi Wan, but when he kidnapped Senator Palpatine, (as another sneaky manipulative plot by the Sith), he had more than met his match, for Anakin and Obi Wan flew to his ship; 'the Invisible hand' and challenged him to a duel. As normal though, Grievous escaped, leaving his ship plummeting to the ground.
The Jedi managed to track him later to the world of Utapau, so Obi Wan went there and spoke to Tion Medon, who was in charge of the locals. Tion told Obi that indeed the droid commander was there, so Obi Wan cunningly sent his ship away unmanned and made a surprise attack on Grievous, whilst mounted on a Varactyl. Grievous fought with his 4 sabres, but when he sensed defeat, he immediately tried to flee as usual, on his wheel bike. Boga the Varactyl was more than a match for the speed of the bike and he kept up with him and finally managed to get Grievous back into a battle. Again they duelled and for a while, it looked like Obi Wan would lose, but with a shot from his own blaster in the hands of the Jedi into his green life energy, Grievous caught fire, then blew up. Obi Wan became the only match for the Cyborg and this dealt a crushing blow for the Separatists.

Greedo
This was a green scaly skinned Rodian, who whilst still young was shown the bounty hunter life style and such it was no surprise he took this occupational route. One day he took a well paid job from Jabba the Hutt to get Han Solo to pay up. He thought he had it all planned as he drew his blaster at Han whilst in the Mos Eisley cantina, but Han was one step ahead and just before Greedo could take his shot, Han shot 1st with his gun secretly hidden underneath the table. Greedo failed and Jabba just hired more bounty hunters in his place. As for Greedo it is said, after death he was ground down to a pulp for a 'specialised' drink to be served in the cantina.

Boba Fett
This was the son of Jango Fett, although technically he was a clone (:see 'Jango Fett'), but during the battle of Geonosis, Mace Windu slayed Jango, making Boba an orphan. He had to grow up quick and went round many worlds as he grew, often making freinds with unfriendly beings like 'Cad Bane' and 'Aurra Sing', of whom he frequently done bounty hunts with. But once he became an adult, he started to work more alone and became one of the most famed bounty hunters in the galaxy.
One day, Vader and Jabba the Hutt enlisted Boba's service to bring the rebels to them. Boba was foiled on the 1st occasion, but he did indeed succeed in capturing the rebels, including Han Solo who ofter eluded capture.
Later, with the help of other rebels, the heroes escaped again and so Boba's help was needed once more and he went with Jabba on his sail barge, accompanying them to the pit of carkoon. Once again though the heroes had a trick up their sleeves and Boba was again forced into a fight. This time though, Boba was defeated and ended up being tossed into the mouth of a Sarlacc who dwelled in the pit. Many say this death is the most horrific of all deaths and there is no way out once you're swallowed, but there are a few, who claim Boba did indeed survive and eventually managed to shoot his way out.

Jango Fett
As part of his devious plan, Palpatine sent Count Dooku to Kamino, pretending to be the Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, and asked the locals to make him a clone army. They agreed and secretly the clones began their birthing, with an added bonus of accelerated growth, Palpatine knowing he would give all the clones a secret order called 'order 66', that would change the tide of the war he pretended to fight against the Separatists in. This only proves his schemings.
Jango Fett was a bounty hunter and with his Mandalorian armour, he was perfect as the base model for the clones. He also asked for one clone to grow at normal rate and with no standard training from the Kaminoans, instead Jango would train him and he would look on him as his son. He named him Boba.
As part of another plot, Dooku had Jango attempt to assassinate Padme, so Jango entrusted an assassin (named Zam Wessel), to do this task he felt too menial, but Zam failed and so Jango silenced her with a sniped dart. Jango's dart led Obi Wan eventually back to Kamino and when he got there he heard of this plot. He became immediately sceptical when he heard, as he knew the real Sifo Dyas died years before and as Jango attempted to leave, Obi Wan rushed outside to Jango's ship platform and the two duelled. With help for Boba at the piloting seat, The Fett's escaped, but not for long, as Obi Wan placed a tracker on Jango's ship, Slave 1.
Tracing the tracker, he eventually was led to Geonosis, where a secret meeting was taking place, but once again, the Separatists got the upper hand and he, along with Anakin and Padme, who had come to 'rescue' him, were captured and placed in the arena to fight 3 beasts, as Dooku and Jango watched.
It seemed like the Jedi's end, until reinforcements came, including many clones and dozens of Jedi. Thus, a battle commenced, which near it's conclusion, Mace Windu; head of the Jedi council, sliced Jango's head clean off. At that moment, Boba got a new hate for the Jedi and was only too keen to become a bounty hunter like his father.

Jar Jar Binks
The character everyone either loves or hates, Jar Jar certainly has personality, what with his odd voice that frequently comes out with unusual remarks or incorrect pronunciation. He clumsiness is also a big part of Jar Jar, it's why he was banished from his homeland of Otoh Gunga on the planet Naboo. So the tale goes, Jar Jar crashed Boss Nass's Bongo submarine. One day his clumsiness led him into the path of the fleeing Qui Gon Jinn. Qui Gon actually and accidentally saved the Gungan's life, so he pledged to stick with him, and in the end became quite helpful, when he led the Jedi to his home under water in hope of getting the Gungans onside to fight the battle droid army which was gathering on the surface.
In the big battle which shortly after began, Jar Jar was made a General, but he was more haphazard than helpful, though by accident he did manage to take down several battle droids. Luckily for the Gungans, Anakin destroyed the droid control ship and the droids simply stopped working and from that point Jar Jar was never again looked down on by his kind.
Later in time, Jar Jar stepped into Padme shoes as her voice as Senator, while she was away on other business, but he made a fatal mistake, when he was manipulated into giving Palpatine even more power and paving the way for the Sith. No-one knows what happened to poor Jar Jar after the clone wars, maybe he just went back to his home, to live a quieter life.

Mace Windu
Mace was the head of the Jedi council and a skilled master of the Light sabre technique Vaapad, which many Jedi cannot master as it teeters on the line between Jedi skill and Sith styles.
He frequently talked with Master Yoda to assure right decisions were being made but he didn't mind getting his hands dirty either, such as the time he led a surprise attack on the arena of Geonosis, to free the 3 hero prisoners. He even succeeded in defeating Jango Fett, finishing him by beheading him.
One mission though would be his last, the one to arrest Palaptine. He and 3 other highly skilled Jedi went to Palpatine's quarters but revealing his true identity to all, he drew a lightsabre and had no trouble killing 3 of the Jedi very quickly. Mace fought well and beat the Sith and would have finished him, but Anakin turned up just at that moment and in one single mistake, he turned on the Jedi Master, giving Palpatine the chance to fight back and end Mace's life in a blast of Sith lightning, which shot him out the window to his doom.

Lando Calrissian
Lando was in charge of the mining facility that floated just above Bespin. He was old friends with Han Solo, but lost the Millennium falcon to Han on a game of Sabacc, so you imagine Han's hesitation going there, but Lando welcomed the heroes into his facility. However, Vader had got there just before the Rebels and tricked them into a trap. Lando redeemed himself though, when he helped the rebels escape. He then went on to fly the Millennium Falcon alongside Nien Nunb and aided in the destruction of the 2nd 'Death Star.'

Count Dooku
Once upon a time Count Dooku, (also known as Darth Tyrannus), was a Jedi, with Qui Gon Jinn and later Komari Vosa as his apprentices, but when he learned that Palpatine was in fact the Sith, he decided to join the dark side, just like Anakin did a few years later and from then he became a central Separatist leader and schemed many plots of deviousness including kidnapping Jabba the Hutt's son and framing the Jedi for it. He also trained Asajj Ventress with the hope of them defeating Palpatine and becoming the master himself, plus bounty hunter Durge and General Grievous, who would lead the separatists for him.
He was a powerful Sith in the force and capable of using deadly Sith lighning and highly skilled in blade combat and defeated the Jedi on many occasions, but when Anakin and Obi-Wan fought him for a 2nd time, he lost. Obi-Wan was wounded and asked Anakin to be lenient, but Anakin had already started to fall to the dark side himself and with 2 Light sabres in his hands, he beheaded Dooku.

Darth Maul
This was the Sith apprentice of Darth Sidious. He was secretly captured, trained and prepared to bring back the Sith. He served Paplatine without question and almost killed Qui Gon on their 1st meeting. Both escaped with their lives after a short battle, but it wouldn't be the last time the pair met, for when the Jedi and Padme went to Naboo, Maul was waiting for them, ready to defeat them with his double bladed Lightsabre. He took on both Jedi with ease, using a deadly combination of the force and sword combat and also strategically lured them into an energy shield corridor, which separated the trio and when Maul had his chance to strike, he fought the elder Jedi (Qui Gon) alone and with a fatal swipe, killed him.
In rage, Obi Wan charged forward and fought Darth Maul and at 1st was easily beaten, but using the force to draw his sabre, Obi leaped out the shaft he had fallen in and sliced Maul in half.
You would think that was Maul's end, but some say he still lived and soon found out he had a brother; Savage Opress. To Palaptine though, it mattered little, for he'd already moved on to his next apprentice; Count Dooku.

Jabba the Hutt
Jabba Desilijic Tiure as he was born, was part of a large family and had a large criminal organisation, which spread on several worlds including his homeworld of Tatooine. He owned several things including a palace in Mos Eisley, but long before that he enjoyed a good old Pod race, which he delighted in the crashes in. He had several slaves including the dancing girl Oola and often hired bounty hunters to do his work as he was so fat and lazy, he couldn't be bothered to do it himself. One of these such occasions is when Han Solo failed to pay off his debts once too many times + agreeing in siding with Vader, 6 bounty hunters were sent to find him and bring him back. Jabba agreed Vaders terms of leaving 'Skywalker' for him in the deal that Han was not to be killed, but frozen in carbonite. As this showed Vader the carbonite worked, he was only too happy to do this. Han was indeed captured, but soon escaped again, thanks to a disguised Leia. In another incident, Luke had come to Jabba's court too, but Jabba wasn't interested in talking and sent him to his doom to fight the mighty Rancor, but Surprisingly Luke survived and killed the Rancor. Jabba was furious and took all the rebels to the Sarlacc pit for a gruesome death, but once again the rebels had a plan and with the help of 'R2', all the rebels escaped and then Leia strangled Jabba to his death with the very chains he'd held her captive in. This surely wasn't the end of the Hutt racket though, for Zirro, Gardulla, Zorba and many others still lived.

Obi Wan (Ben) Kenobi
Obi Wan was an apprentice to Qui Gon Jinn, but was very different to him, such as the way Qui Gon often ignored the Jedi council in favour of trusting his instincts whereas Obi Wan would more be faithful though naive. When Qui gon died, Obi Wan kept Qui Gon's promise to young Anakin alive, by taking him on as his own apprentice, but as he grew up, Anakin became harder to control and soon fell to the dark side, which caused a tense battle between the two on the planet Mustafar. With most of the Jedi dead and Palpatine proclaiming himself as Emperor, Obi Wan had nowhere to go, so he went to Tatooine and became a hermit.
Years later, Luke; Anakin's son, came looking for Obi, (now known as Ben) and he explained about the Jedi to him before the pair joined forces and went to the death star together, along with Han, Chewbacca and Leia. Ben went to look for the generator once aboard and soon met his past apprentice again, this time though he was Darth Vader and Ben's pleas would go ignored and instead another duel ensued, this time ending with Obi Wan giving his life to aid the hero's escape and to become one with the force.
Obi Wan was dead, but his spirit live on and for several years after, he returned to give advice to the future generation of Jedi.

Chewbacca
This is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk and in the clone wars he fought bravely alongside the leader Tarfful, but many years later his life was saved by Han Solo + from then on, it was his duty to serve and help Han in whatever he got into. One day he and Han were approached by rebels wanting transportation and when Han agreed, 'Chewie' co-piloted as he always did. He served Han until his death many years later. Chewbacca was a skilled mechanic too and even adept at a game of Dejarik, though if C3Po is to be believed, if he lost he might rip your arms from their sockets.

Han Solo
Han was a smuggler that diced with danger and gambled, often on the card game Sabacc (on which he won the Millennium Falcon from Lando on), but one day his life took a different turn, for when he was chillin' in the Mos Eisley Cantina, he was met by Luke and Ben Kenobi, who asked Han and his co-pilot Chewbacca to be their pilot whilst they saved Princess leia. At first Han wasn't interested, but when there was talk of money and a princess involved, he jumped at the chance. The rebels were successful, thanks to the help of Han, 'Chewie' and the Falcon, but Han wasn't interested in joining any rebel group on a more permanent scale and instead went with his received payment to pay Jabba the Hutt, (of whom he owed a lot of money). After some thought though, Han returned to the Rebels and just in time too, as he saved Luke from death in a space battle and gave way fro Luke to destroy the death star. A few years later, Han had become a valued member of the rebels and to Leia, more than that, though she'd often deny it and helped the rebels against the 2nd death star too, but his past was still catching up with him and Jabba sided with Vader, sending bounty hunters to bring Han back, kill the rebels and for Vader, a chance to turn his son to the dark side. The bounty hunters, including Boba were eventually successful tin their goal ands soon Han was frozen in carbonite, but posing as another bounty hunter named Boushh, Leia soon rescued him and on a sail barge near the Sarlacc pit, she strangled Jabba with chains. This certainly wasn't the end of Han's dangerous escapades, but there was good times too, not least marrying Leia and having 3 children.

Padme
When Queen Amidala of Naboo's ship had to dock to be repaired, she insisted her handmaiden went with the Jedi for help, secretly though, she was actually the Queen, acting as a decoy and to see exactly what was going on 1st hand. She met a young boy named Anakin there, little knowing, she would eventually fall in love with and marry him. Before that though, she changed positions to Senator and went through a series of unfortunate perils, though her initiative often helped her, like using a hair pin to escape death at the hands of a dangerous Nexu monster.
She married Anakin with only R2D2 and C3PO as witnesses and became pregnant with twins; Luke + Leia. It was at this time though, Anakin fell to the dark side. Padme went to plead him for kindness + compassion, but instead he almost killed her with a 'death choke', fought his master; Obi Wan and killed many innocent Jedi. Padme had the twins on Polis Massa, but died at child birth, perhaps due to Anakins attack on her or maybe she died of a broke heart.

C3PO
This was a protocol droid, fluent in many languages, built by Anakin Skywalker, initially to help Shmi, (his mother) around the house, but when he went to train with Qui Gon, 3Po was left without coverings. Soon though, he was given a nice new silvery/gold coating and became a workable droid. He went with Anakin and R2D2 (who he 1st met in 'Phantom menace') and soon had a friendship with the smaller droid and although he was more afraid of things than R2, he always stuck it out with him and often got himself into trouble, not least when he the rebels were captured by the Empire and he was taken apart, thankfully put back together though by Chewbacca. He had a similar escapade on Geonosis, where in the droid factory, he was mistaken for a battle droid and his head was put on a droid body + visa-versa.

R2R2
This is a small Astromech droid, which are generally used for fixing things, piloting ships etc, but fro R2, his life was far more adventurous. One day he was called upon to fix Padme's 'Nubian' ship, along with other Astromech's, however he was the only one left standing and further more, he even fixed the ship, so he was commended. From that point on, he became almost a friend to Padme and Anakin and frequently helped them out of tight spots. After the fall of the Republic though, there was no one left to claim the droids, (R2 and C3Po), thus they were given a mind wipe and sent aboard a Rebel cruiser, (though R2 never had all his data erased), but not before they had a string of dangerous adventures. R2 originally met C3PO on Tatooine, where 3Po was Half made, but over time they became best of buddies + although they argued like cat + dog, they were rarely seen far apart. As time went on, they found themselves in all sorts of danger, but were always willing to help the rebel cause. He had many gadgets inside his shell, such as hook arms, a, electric rod, and even jets so he could hover for some while.

Palpatine/Darth Sidious
Palpatine was a scheming man. He started out as a chancellor, but he manipulated Anakin to turn him against the Jedi and Padme Amidala of Naboo to question the current chancellor's leadership. With no chancellor, Palpatine himself was voted and changed the laws to serve his cause which was always to bring back the Sith, of which he secretly was. Eventually his secret was found out, but it was too late, he'd already given the republic clone troopers a secret order (called order 66), to turn on their own side; the Jedi and also turned Anakin to the dark side. Many of the Jedi were killed, Anakin was now Darth Vader and the jedi council was unable to defeat him, thus the Empire was born., with the newly named, self-proclaimed Emporer Palpatine at its helm.
For years he ruled with a dark cloud, but he didn't bargain for a moisture farmer named Luke plying to Vader's good side and actually turning his own apprentice against him. With Vader joining Luke, he killed the Emporer, by throwing him down the shaft of the 2nd Death Star.
you would think that would be his end, but it wasn't, for he'd secretly created some clones and one of these clones returned to the dominant position. He even momentairily turned Luke to the dark side, but in the end, Luke and his allies prevailed and once again Palpatine was killed, never to return, or was he?

Leia was the secret sister of Luke Skywalker. She grew up on Alderaan with bail Organa, a senator and thus she became a princess. Her life was quite different to that of her brother, but when she was captured by Vader and asked for information about the rebel alliance for which she served, (and was a founder member of), Luke was part of the group that rescued her and from then, the 2 became allies and frought the Empire. She fell for the charms of Han Solo, who was the pilot for this rebel group, but when the 2 finally got together properly, he became far more than just a pilot, saving the day on many occassions and where he was, Leia wasn't far away. They eventually married several years later and had 3 children. Later in time, she also helped Luke set up a Jedi academy.

Luke was the son to Darth Vader, though he didn't know it as he and his sister were separated at birth and sent to 2 different families. Whilst Leia was brought up by Bail Organa, Luke lived on a moisture farm on Tatooine with the Lars family. One day though, he purchased 2 droids, (R2D2 and C3PO), one of which had a secret message inside, from Leia herself, to Obi Wan Kenobi. Luke knew of a Ben Kenobi, so he went in search of him and found the 2 Kenobi's were actually the same person. Soon, Luke found himself mixed up in the struggle between good + evil and eventually leaned the truth about his past. After training with Yoda and officially joining the rebel alliance, Luke faced Vader twice, once losing an arm, but on the 2nd occasion, as Palpatine attacked him, he pleaded to Vader's good side and soon, good triumphed, as Vader killed Palpatine and saved his son. Vader died soon after, but Luke went on to have a very filled life, marrying a girl called Mara Jade, starting up his own Jedi academy and having a son which he named Ben after his 1st master. Before his final death and becoming one with the force, he also served against the Yuuzhan Vong, fought a reincarnation of the ancient Sith Exar Kun and was brainwashed temporarily by a clone of the Emperor.

Yoda was a wise old Jedi, who became a high member of the Jedi council. Many falsely thought he wasn't able to fight, but he used this to his advantage, because he was actually a very skilled swordsman. He survived order 66, (a Jedi purge) and went into hiding. Years later, he had become recluse and almost eccentric, but he was still very knowledgeable and when Luke came to him asking for training, he did just that, sadly he was very old by then and he died soon after. Like Anakin though, he had the skill to become one with the force and his spirit went on, to watch over Luke and Leia.

Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker
Born to Shmi Skywalker, Anakin's birth was shrouded in mystery. He grew up on Tatooine and was a slave from a young age, though his true passion was always fixing or making things, like his pod racer, but one day his life changed, when a Jedi named Obi Wan Kenobi visited his home of Mos Espa. Soon he was freed from slavery and trained to be a Jedi Knight. He liked his original Master, Qui Gon Jinn, but when he was killed by a Sith, Obi Wan took him under his wing and over time Anakin grew angry towards his new master. Then with the secret Sith Palpatine whispering in his ear, Anakin soon fell to the dark side and became a Sith himself, taking on the new name, Darth Vader. Vader served with Palpatine for some while, but when his own son Luke met him, Luke began to get ply to Vader's inside emotions and goodness and in the end, after a mighty battle, Vader saved his beaten son and killed Palpatine, thus returning to the light side. However, in a previous battle with Obi Wan, he had been defeated and severely wounded, meaning he had to live within a life supporting suit, of which when damaged in this battle with Palpatine, he could no longer breathe properly and died. There is theory though, that the most gifted Jedi, can become one with the force and as such, their spirits live on.
