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?

Princess Leia
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 Skywalker
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
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.
