Star Wars

Darth Vader was born Anakin Skywalker, and is the father of twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. He is given the name "Darth Vader" in 19 BBY.

Throughout the six Star Wars films, the character is portrayed by five different actors. Anakin Skywalker is played by Jake Lloyd as a child and Hayden Christensen as a young adult. David Prowse portrayed him in the original Star Wars Trilogy. His voice was supplied by James Earl Jones. Sebastian Shaw portrayed the dying, middle-aged (and redeemed) man behind the mask in the theatrical release of Return of the Jedi and shortly after, as his ghost; however, in the most recent DVD release, Christensen is digitally inserted in Shaw's place. Also, in the closing scenes of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the fully armoured Vader is played by Christensen, again with Jones' voice. In the video game version of Revenge of the Sith, Vader's voice is supplied by Mat Lucas.

The character of Darth Vader also involved several stunt doubles, most notably fencing instructor Bob Anderson, who handled all of Vader's fight sequences in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Mark Hamill noted in a 1983 interview, "Bob Anderson was the man who actually did Vader’s fighting. It was always supposed to be a secret, but I finally told George I didn’t think it was fair any more. Bob worked so bloody hard that he deserves some recognition. It’s ridiculous to preserve the myth that it’s all done by one man." Industrial Light & Magic employee C. Andrew Nelson has also portrayed Vader at a number of events for Lucasfilm, as well as the videogame Rebel Assault II and in new footage filmed for the Special Edition releases of the Star Wars films in 1997.

There is some question as to when it's more appropriate to refer to the character as "Darth Vader" or "Anakin Skywalker". Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi both asserted at various times that Anakin Skywalker was destroyed and consumed by Vader during the events chronicled in Revenge of the Sith, and the appearance of Anakin's spirit to Luke is meant to portray the pre-fall Skywalker—Shaw's portrayal shows a man with a full head of hair, no burn marks, a less pasty skin color, and a full set of limbs, while Christiansen appears as Anakin did before his disfigurement. The substitution of Christiansen has been explained by Lucas as reinforcing the view that Anakin truly died prior to the original trilogy, but Star Wars seems to also approach the question with the implication that there is no simple answer to it; as Obi-Wan tells Luke during his explanation of Vader's identity, "Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our own point of view."(in the Revenge of the Sith game, near in the last battle as either Obi-Wan or Anakin, Obi-Wan yells to Anakin, "Anakin Skywalker is no more! You killed him!")[2]

C-3PO is generally seen with his long-time companion, R2-D2, who is a small, quirky astromech droid. His main function as a protocol droid is to assist with etiquette, customs, and translation so that meetings of different cultures run smoothly. He is very loyal to his masters (as his programming dictates) and has served over 40 since his creation (the only masters seen in the original six films were: Anakin Skywalker, Cliegg Lars, Raymus Antilles, Owen Lars and finally Luke Skywalker; masters other than those mentioned were seen in the animated TV series Star Wars: Droids, which may account for some of the rest of Threepio's masters).
C-3PO is one of the few characters to appear in all six of the Star Wars feature films, and one of the very few to be played six times by the same actor (voiced and played by Anthony Daniels). Fans have suggested he may have had a prior existence before being taken apart--this was before the events in The Phantom Menace, in which we learn that 3PO was built by Anakin Skywalker from those scrap parts. After Anakin leaves, 3PO is left with his mother, Shmi Skywalker on Tatooine. Appearing mainly in a skeletal state in the film, he doesn't gain his coverings until Attack of the Clones, in the property now of Cliegg Lars. After Anakin and Padme visit the planet, 3PO follows his maker.

R2-D2 (pronounced Artoo-Detoo, called R2 for short), is an astromech droid and colleague of C-3PO in the fictional Star Wars universe. R2-D2 was played by Kenny Baker in all six Star Wars films, with many scenes filmed using mechanical versions of the character. R2 is the only character (despite being a non-living droid) to appear in all six Star Wars films and without changes to appearance (unlike his colleague C-3PO ). He's also famous for his courage

Vader, the very epitome of evil was once a
promising Jedi, who was corrupted by the Emperor
and seduced by the dark side of the Force. He
became instrumental in the destruction of the
galaxy's Jedi, and the rise of the Empire. But in the
end he renounced the darkness within. He died as
Anakin Skywalker, not Darth Vader. He died serving
the light.

Han Solo and the mighty wookie
Chewbacca, once the most infamous
smugglers in the known galaxy, became
respected for their many years of service
to the Rebellion and New Republic. Both
skilled pilots and mechanics, they have
flown the galaxy end to end in their
souped up ship, the Millennium Falcon.
Hard and fierce on the outside, they
each have a loyal heart and the will to
help those in need; for that is what
heroes are made of.

Leia Organa has brought great honor to her
family name, and is deservedly considered one
of the greatest heroines of the Rebellion. The
Adopted daughter of Viceroy Bail Organa, she was
the youngest member of the Imperial senate while
secretly working as an alliance leader. Always
destined for greatness, she is now a Skywalker
and heir to the traditions of the Jedi Knights, and
one of the finest leaders the New Republic could
hope for.

Of all engaged in the New Republic, none has
changed as much as Luke Skywalker. When his
journey began he was a simple young man
living on the desert world of Tatooine. Now he is
the first in a new line of Jedi Knights. The secrets
he uncovered about his past both revealed to him
his destiny and burdened him with a fear that he
would one day succumb to the power of the dark
side. He began as an idealistic dreamer and
matured into a responsible leader, despite the
personal tragedies that have struck him
throughout the years.
Luke Skywalker , Jedi Knight , was forged on
Tatooine and the fist Death Star. But his steel
was tempered in the crucible of Bespin and in the
Emperor's chamber aboard the second Death
Star. He has become a symbol of the best of
the New Republic.

DATHOMIR
The planet Dathomir is a low gravity planet in the Quelli sector of the midrim territory. Dathomir has four moons, and its surface is mostly water except for three continents. The terrain of Dathomir is diverse, including rocky mountains, wide deserts, purple savannas, and forests with eighty-meter trees and vines bearing hwotha berries. There are no cities, just a collection of semi-permanent villages ruled by nine clans.

YAVIN IV
The lush moon known as Yavin 4 circles the gas giant Yavin. Steamy jungles cover its surface, broken here and there by sluggish rivers and volcanic mountain ranges, all of which explode with life. Whisper birds soar above the brown waters, avoiding spider-anglers on the hunt for small fish and mucous salamanders, Chattering woolamanders swing through the leafy canopy while Yavinian runyips root through the tangled undergrowth. A swarm of piranha-beetles can strip a bristly stintaril to the bone in a handful of seconds.

CORELLIA
The Corellian system is the most important of over a dozen within the Corellian sector. The star Corell is circled by five habitable planets - Selonia, the twin worlds Talus and Tralus, Drall and Corellia. This constellation is no coincidence, but was artificially constructed by an unknown civilisation many thousand years ago. For this reason, the planets are often called the five brothers, Corellia, as the most important planet, referred to as the elder brother. All five planets were members of the Old Republic

NABOO
Naboo is a bizarre, geographically unique world located along a major galactic trade route near the Outer Rim of the galaxy. The planet's serene surface of sweeping hills and rolling seas is deceptive: beneath it lies a shadowy underwater world of winding caverns and tunnels inhabited by gigantic, ferocious sea creatures. This immense labyrinth runs through the entire planet, becoming increasingly rocky and dense in the lower strata. The planet's center seethes and bubbles with eruptions of exotic plasma energy. Over millennia, these eruptions form new caverns and tunnels, and influence surface features such as mountains. The planet's two primary civilizations, the human Naboo and the indigenous Gungans, rely on this plasma power, although they collect and use it in different ways.

RORI
Located in the Outer Rim Territory, Rori is one of the three moons of the planet Naboo. Once nothing but a barren landscape, it has only recent been able to support life.
After the battle of Naboo, the Gungans and humans of Naboo joined together in signing a treaty that ended the isolationism of the Gungans and allowed them to take the first steps toward joining the galactic society. One of the issues the treaty address was the Gungan’s overpopulation problem. The numbers of Gungans had grown to a point where they were endangering Naboo’s ecology. With the assistance of Gungan, the Naboo colonized Rori.

ENDOR
Endor is a silver-grey gas giant that lies far from any hyperspace route in the remote Moddell sector, near the unexplored territories. The enormous gravity field of the gas giant makes it very difficult for spaceships to approach the system. In order to avoid the gravitational forces, several complicated hyperspace maneuvers have to be performed – though the system is much too unimportant for most to make such an effort.
Nine moons circle the gas giant. The largest of these moons is known as ‘forest moon’ or ‘sanctuary moon’ on the star charts, but it is often simply called Endor.

TATOOINE
According to a young Luke Skywalker, "if there is a bright center to the universe, you are on the planet farthest from." An interesting observation, given that the desolate Tatooine is a virtual hot-bed of activity--mostly of the seedier kind.
Under the scorching heat of twin suns, Tatooine is parched with continuous drought and riddled with violent sandstorms. Its two indigenous species, the Jawas and Sand People, spend their arduous lives swathed in heavy wrappings and dust cloaks. The Sand People (or Tusken Raiders) are enigmatic barbarian warriors who live in close-knit tribes with their bantha mounts. The diminuitive Jawas are cowardly yellow-eyed scavengers who roam the vast Dune Sea in colossal sandcrawlers in search of scrap that they can sell. The remaining human inhabitants are typically moisture farmers who tend to be rugged individualists enjoying the freedoms of the harsh frontier lifestyle.

TALUS
Of the seven planets which form the Corellian star system only two are not inhabited. Crollia isn’t more than an arid ball of rocks and Soronia, the farthest planet of the system, is covered in a thick coat of ice. All other worlds are practically throbbing with life – even though the Galactic Civil War somewhat slowed the pulse. Corellia has long been one of the strongholds of galactic trade, Drall has extensive forests and an ocean that’s waters begin to seethe at the height of summer, and Selonia’s huge body of water is covered with numerous islands. Two more inhabited planets of the system are the blue-white and green shimmering twin worlds of Talus and Tralus.

. Long before galactic strife enveloped his native Naboo, Jar Jar Binks was exiled from the underwater city of Otoh Gunga. His main sin: being clumsy in front of the head of his clan. To hear Jar Jar tell it in his Gungan/Basic pidgin, he "boomed da gasser, and crashed de boss's heyblibber, den banished."
An outcast, the Gungan spent his time in the Naboo swampland, surviving on raw shellfish or just about anything else that the murky ecosystem had to offer. Jar Jar's fate took a twist when the hapless Gungan encountered a pair of Jedi as they eluded enemy forces during the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo.
By Gungan tradition, Jar Jar found himself indebted to Qui-Gon Jinn for saving his life. Jar Jar guided the Jedi to the underwater city of Otoh Gunga, where they secured transport to the Naboo capital of Theed. Jar Jar braved the "nocombackie law" to present Qui-Gon to the Gungan leader, Boss Nass, even though he risked the consequence of being "pounded" to death.
Throughout the adventure of liberating Naboo, Jar Jar tagged along with Qui-Gon. Although his bungling, haphazard mannerisms constantly landed him in hot water, his good nature and loyalty somehow helped him triumph in the end.
Queen Amidala requested that Jar Jar make contact with the Gungans. With Jar Jar's help, the Naboo and the Gungans forged an alliance that liberated the besieged world of Naboo. During the ground battle against the mechanized armies of the Trade Federation, Jar Jar was made a general in the Gungan Grand Army. After the battle, Jar Jar continued to ascend in Gungan society, putting his awkward past as an outcast behind him.
Jar Jar eventually became a Senior Representative for Naboo, serving alongside Padmé Amidala in the Galactic Senate. While his compassion spoke volumes of the quality of his character, his inherent gullibility and trusting nature were easily exploited by the less scrupulous in the field of politics. For many, Jar Jar was but a joke, the subject of derision, but in the corrupt inner confines of Senate, his lanky frame stood as a rare example of non-corrupt politician interested only in the greater good of the Republic and his people.

Jar Jar was a member of the Loyalist Committee, a panel of Senators concerned with countering the increasing threat of a Separatist movement spreading throughout the galaxy. He and Padmé worked hard, favoring negotiation and peaceful resolution over the growing popularity of the Military Creation Act. While Padmé was away from Coruscant, it was Jar Jar who took her place in the Senate.
After several botched assassination attempts on Senator Amidala forced her to flee the capital, Jar Jar again served in her stead. The Gungan politician was there, in Palpatine's office, when it became apparent that desperate measures would be required to stop a Separatist force determined to start a war with the Republic.
Jar Jar took the initiative and proposed the motion granting emergency powers to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine -- a move that would have profound impact on the Galactic Republic.

His Royal Highness, Prince Bail Prestor Organa of Alderaan is a fictional character from the Star Wars universe, the Viceroy and Prince of Alderaan, the husband of Queen Breha Organa, and a noted statesman of the late Republic and early Imperial eras. He is Princess Leia's adoptive father and a friend of Obi-Wan Kenobi. In the films, Bail Organa is played by Jimmy Smits.

Bail was a powerful member of the Galactic Senate and for a time was the only member of the Imperial Senate to understand that the Empire and Palpatine were evil. His realization was the result of witnessing the slaughter of a young Jedi Padawan by clone troopers outside the Jedi Temple at the start of the Great Jedi Purge.

Yoda, tall, is one of the senior members of the Jedi Council and arguably the wisest and most powerful Jedi Master in the Star Wars universe, even toward his demise, though the toll of his great age is noticeable. Over his lifetime, Yoda trains several notable Jedi, including Count Dooku, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi (partially, before Qui-Gon Jinn took over with Obi-Wan's training), Ki-Adi-Mundi and Luke Skywalker
