* AmbiguouslyBi: In the novelization of ''Literature/RevengeOfTheSith'', Palpatine and Anakin have a private talk, in which the former attempts to convince the latter that Obi Wan is having an affair with a senator[[note]]More specifically, Palpatine states that Obi Wan has been getting ''very close'' with that senator and leaving their residence in the mornings at an "unseemly hour."[[/note]] to sow distrust. In response, Anakin immediately assumes the senator's a ''man'' before he's corrected, even though Obi-Wan had [[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Obi-Wan_Kenobi/Legends#Romantic_relationships female love interests]] in ''Legends''.

* MasterSwordsman: Considered one of the greatest lightsaber duellists in the Jedi Order, with only Yoda, Windu, Obi Wan and Anakin being his equals or surpassing him. His style was a unique mixture of Makashi skill, Ataru aggressiveness and Soresu defense, all styles which he had mastered. It allowed him to survive the Geonosis arena, to be the Last man standing at Hypori against Grievous, and to out-duel Asajj Ventress badly enough that she had to extricate from the fight.

* LethalJokeCharacter: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ2lIp37tCA&list=PL586A3E811CB7DE2E One Youtuber]] pulled off seven [=KOs=] on each track of ''Racer Revenge'' using Ben Quadinaros, of all people. [[note]]Okay okay, Ben’s actually pretty good in that game – his highly responsive turning makes up for many ills – but he's significantly outclassed in terms of top speed and defense, two essential attributes for racking up [=KOs=].[[/note]]

* FantasticRacism: Did not think too badly of Anakin going postal in the Tusken camp, much to Obi-Wan's chagrin. Then again, they did suffer bereavement at the Sandpeople's hands.

* TheSadist: Palpatine takes extreme pleasure in the suffering and pain of others, laughing hysterically as Vader beats Galen Marek within an inch of his life and smiling as he tortures Luke for refusing to turn. He even mocked his master Plagueis while he was murdering him, just to twist the knife even further.

* FatalFlaw: Aside from {{Pride}} and [[TheSadist Sadism]], he shows others.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: In-universe, nobody is sure of Vader's true identity, with many across the Galaxy believing him to be some sort of inhuman golem that Palpatine created himself (which could be metaphorically true).

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: His reasoning behind the Death Star is to frighten the citizens into servitude. Tarkin didn't seem to think that would result in people [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating joining the Rebel cause because they don't like having their planets blown up]].

* AntagonisticOffspring: He actually bullies his dad and mom to get what he wants when his father bans him from racing ever again (and [[DrivesLikeCrazy for good reason]]).
* TheAntiChrist: Heavily implied to be this in various sources, including the ''Literature/DarthPlagueis'' novel. Palpatine is introduced as a young son of a nobleman who exhibits prodigious intellect and a proportionately high disregard for common morality. He is also said to be a delinquent, having a history of petty crime and being directly responsible for the deaths of two individuals as well as someone who is willing to murder his entire family without too much prompting. In the prologue, Palpatine admires the constellations that dot Coruscant's eastern sky just before the sun rises, i.e. the ''morning stars''. If that's not Revelation-y enough for you, he refers to the Dark Side in his thoughts as the "beast" that will bring about the "end times". Reading his childhood background on Wookiepedia feels like reading something from ''Film/TheOmen''.

** As if trying to make him as thoroughly dislikable as possible, Emperor Palpatine is revealed to be one of these in addition to being a racist, mass-murdering totalitarian maniac. This can be shown by the Galactic Empire's high degree of misogyny. This, combined with the alien persecution, resulted in the Empire often being referred to as having "Non-HuMan" policies. The sexist policies that plagued the Empire encouraged Major General Corvae to establish the Firebird Society to prove that females were effective and capable soldiers for the Imperial Military.

* SpitTake: After Sebula assaults a waiter in one of the comics, "Bumpy" Roose picks up a thermos from the waiter's tray and starts drinking from it. He quickly spits it out when the waiter returns and asks why he's drinking cleaning fluid. Adding insult to injury, [[NotHelpingYourCase Bumpy had been complaining about how people insulted his intelligence right before that.]]

* DisappearedDad: ''ComicBook/StarWarsTales'' has him revealed as having had a wife and child whom he was separated from in the past. This was later expanded upon, showing he was exiled for murdering his wife's rapist and their marriage falling apart, with Fett estranged from her along with their daughter (who hated him). Fett later revealed he'd always felt guilty for abandoning his daughter, and tried to make up for it by bonding with his granddaughter (after his daughter died).

* ActionMom: Is a mother of two.
* {{Ambadassador}}: Served as both a senator and as a leader of the resistance against the Galactic Empire.
* AscendedExtra: Plays a large role in ''Legends'' fiction that takes place before, during, and after the Galactic Civil War.
* BigGood: Better demonstrated in ''Legends'' than in ''Return Of The Jedi''.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The novelization has him happy that the Separatists are largely alien in membership, for it was his (and he thought Sidious') plan to be 'captured' by the Republic, then be reformed and turn against the 'alien menace'. He fully expected a human dominated Empire to rise from it.

* StrawCharacter: The way ''Tales Of The Bounty Hunters'' tells it, Boba Fett is one of the extremely conservative variety. He doesn't have a single vice, because he considers them an insult to the flesh. He considers sex between those not married to be immoral - that includes rape, too. When Leia tried offering to pay him to get her and her friends out, he flat out refused, saying that the rebels were morally wrong. Apparently, he supports the Empire because it permits civilization to exist, never mind that it's an empire that commits genocide. He hates Han's guts because Han breaks laws, and Fett finds the idea of breaking laws to be offensive. Never mind that Fett breaks laws by murdering people. He laughs off the Dark Side as Jedi superstition, which becomes hilarious in hindsight, because for all his hatred of Jedi, his lifestyle is much the kind that the Jedi Order would have considered ideal.

* AdaptionalBadass: Sidious of the canon is far from being a weakling, but in legends his powers reach physical God levels.

* AdaptationalBadass: Grievous was interpreted as an extremely lethal HeroKiller in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'', which was released well before ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' was even released in theatres.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Due to his FallenHero and TragicVillain backstory, but is only hinted at in the expanded universe.

->'''Voiced by:''' Matthew Wood (Ep. III)

* HeroKiller: He even provides the trope page quote! In the novelization Anakin calls him "the most prolific slaughterer of Jedi since Durge" which nicely sums it up.

* ParentsAsPeople: Like Leia, Han loves his children but their jobs complicate things. Of the three, he and Jaina get along fine due to their similar personalities. He had a very strained relationship with Anakin after Chewies death, which unfortunately ended with Anakin dying before they could fully reconcile to Han's eternal regret. Finally, his rejection of Jacen after seeing him murder Ailyn Vel may have [[ThenLetMeBeEvil solidified]] the boy's resolve in the worst possible way.

* HappilyMarried: After a few years of searching for the right woman, he settled down with Tendra Risant.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The novelization has him happy that the Separtists are largely alien in membership, for it was his (and he thought Sidious') plan to be 'captured' by the Republic, then be reformed and turn against the 'alien menace'. He fully expected a human dominated Empire to rise from it.

* [[spoiler:DeathByIrony]]: [[spoiler:In his EU origin story he uploads himself into the Death Star II, with the obvious result.]]

* WalkingArmoury: IG-88 has built in blaster cannons in its arms, a concussion grenade launcher in its hip, flechette launcher, needle dart gun, flamethrower, poison gass canisters and an assortment of other grisly attachments on its body.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: {{Subverted}}. In the ''Return of the Jedi'' novelisation, Obi-Wan states that he left Luke with his ''brother'' Owen. This apparent continuity error was cleared up in later ExpandedUniverse media as Obi-Wan clarifies that he felt a strong brotherly bond with Owen through the Force, compelling him to trust him to take care of Luke. In typical Obi-Wan fashion, [[MetaphoricallyTrue his consideration of Owen as his brother was true, from a certain point of view.]]

* StrongAndSkilled: As shown in the Clone Wars and despite his age, underneath those robes he is [[SilverFox ripped and has bulging biceps]], although his natural physical strength is nothing to the strength he wields when augmenting himself with the Force. In his comics, he's shown as a skilled hand to hand fighter, but also happens to be one of the most skilled and refined swordsmen and Force wielders in the entire Jedi Order.

* BountyHunter

* KillerRobot: He's an assassin droid but he takes it above and beyond [[spoiler: particularly when eh takes over the Death Star.]]

* AbsoluteXenophobe: ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' expands a bit on this. Once you manage to talk with one of the tribes, it seems like hatred of all other races is a fundamental aspect of Sand People culture, and one of the main reasons why they are all so violent and unwilling to negotiate with outsiders.

* PoisonedWeapons

* FountainOfExpies: It would be easier to list all of the Hutt characters in the Star Wars expanded universe who don't completely ape Jabba's style in every aspect. Jabba will always be ''the'' Hutt, though.

* AscendedExtra: He receives a fleshed out expanded role in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' after being featured in the Prequel Trilogy as a peripheral member of the Jedi Council with small screen time and few lines (although far more than most exotic background Masters).

* HollywoodTactics: Although a courageous and compassionate Jedi General during the Clone Wars, Ki-Adi-Mundi was an inept tactician during the Clone Wars, ill-suited to the harsh realities of warfare. His insistence on taking moralistic but resource-consuming approaches led to him frequently butting heads with his wilful second-in-command [[CombatPragmatist Bacara.]]
* LaserBlade: He wields a blue-bladed lightsaber. Prior to his appointment to the Jedi Council, Ki-Adi-Mundi wielded a lightsaber with a purple blade, as shown in his comic book appearances. This blade was also featured in the Jedi Power Battles video game and in his action figure.

* RubberForeheadAlien: He's a Cerean.

* TookALevelInBadass: Luke was definitely no pushover in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' considering he defeated Darth Vader, but by the time he reaches the peak of his power, he's pretty much what the Chosen One could have been. Not only did he defeat a resurrected Darth Sidious, but with Darth Krayt he also defeated Abeloth, an EldritchAbomination the Son and the Daughter had to work together to fight, and later defeated Krayt when he betrayed him.
