* TheParalyzer: Not only does he use Force Lightning as a weapon, but he manages to snare and immobilize Tajin's lightsaber with it, keeping the blade stuck in place while he goes for a killing blow. However, it seems to take quite a bit of focus and effort to do so, as he has to strain and concentrate in order to do it, and can only move slowly while he tries to maintain his hold on Tajin's blade. When Dan distracts the Elder by throwing his blade at the Elder, which causes the Elder to have to bat it aside with his own lightsaber, it lessens his focus enough that Tajin is able to free his lightsaber and win the duel.
* TheyLookLikeEveryoneElse: Subverted. He's a short older man with a seemingly pleasant, smiling demeanor... but his BlackEyesOfEvil (with yellow pupils), are a dead giveaway that he is not a good guy. And while he might look like a little old man with a smile, he doesn't make any attempt to act like anything except a BloodKnight.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasakiTerasoma (Japanese), Creator/BrianTee (English)
->'''Appearances:''' ''[[Anime/StarWarsVisions Visions]]'' | ''[[Literature/StarWarsVisionsRonin Visions: Ronin]]''
A former Dark Lord of the Sith, now a fugitive from the Jedi, wandering the galaxy in the aftermath of a great war between the Light and Dark.
----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: He's steeped in ambiguity, with his exact alignment and motives remaining a mystery even in the episode's ending. He doesn't bother defending the village until a stray blaster bolt hits his droid, and doesn't make any effort to save the village's mercenary guards, but when the village chief comes to thank him for saving them, he gives the boy Kouru's kyber crystal as a good luck charm. He was once a Sith, yet he's now a HunterOfHisOwnKind, has the [[TheStoic stoic]] attitude customary of a Jedi, and never seems to draw from TheDarkSide. Is he [[TheAtoner seeking atonement]]? Questing for vengeance? Or simply eliminating rival Sith? It's all left up in the air. [[spoiler:The ambiguity continues in ''Literature/StarWarsVisionsRonin'', where he has good intentions but is rather ruthless about his actions.]]
* ApatheticCitizens: He's seemingly content with watching the bandits shake down the village for its taxes at first, only stepping in when the bandits' Sith chief makes herself known and the fight reaches him.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The novel reveals that the reason the Ronin's lightsaber has a scabbard is that the activation switch is broken, yet the blade is permanently active. While this defect necessitates the scabbard for keeping it safely concealed, this also makes sheathing incredibly dangerous.
* CombatPragmatist: In addition to lightsabers and Force powers, the Ronin also employs his droid to take down his enemies in a fight as well. He also tricks his opponent into attacking a statue, believing that it was him, before stabbing her from the back with the hidden second lightsaber built into the scabbard of his first one.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Well, more like "dark is a [[AntiHero Kurosawa protagonist]]", but in his debut short he is the protagonist despite being a Sith. In [[Literature/StarWarsVisionsRonin the novel]] it is revealed that [[spoiler:he started the Sith rebellion to free his fellow Force users from a genuinely oppressive system, but came to regret his actions and now is hunting down other Sith to redeem himself]].
* DeadPersonConversation: In the novel, the Ronin is haunted by a spirit, who taunts him and seems to know about his past. He sometimes responds to her, which makes others around him think he's muttering to himself.
* TheDrifter: He's a lone swordsman who happens to come by a village just as they are being pillaged by raiders. He's initially apathetic but steps in to battle the bandit leader when he learns that she is a Sith. Afterward, he departs, leaving only a token of his battle.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[AmbiguouslyEvil For a given value of "evil".]] Despite having once been a Sith, he ultimately defends the village from the bandits and their Sith leader and seems to be actively hunting other Sith.
* HazyFeelTurn: His alignment is unclear after becoming an ex-Sith since it's not clear if he's a RetiredMonster with a NobleDemon streak (since he doesn't intervene until he sees that there's a Sith Lord involved) or if he's TheAtoner.
* HiddenWeapons: The sheath to his lightsaber is ''also'' a lightsaber.
* HumbleHero: In true Kurosawa fashion, when asked who he is he calls himself a "simple wanderer".
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: He has killed ''multiple'' other Sith before the events of the short, going by the multiple red lightsaber crystals concealed in his tunic. According to the ''Ronin'' novel, he carries them so that they can no longer be used to harm again.
* LaserBlade: As one might expect from a {{Ronin}}, he fights using a katana-like lightsaber, which he even keeps sheathed in a ''saya'' (a Japanese-style sword scabbard) when not in use. This ''saya'' [[HiddenWeapons is also a lightsaber in and of itself]].
* NoNameGiven: As befits a Kurosawa protagonist. He never gives his name, even after being asked about it, and everyone simply refers to him as master Ronin.
* RedIsHeroic: [[AmbiguouslyEvil Maybe.]] He's at the very least an ex-Sith who fights with a red lightsaber and battles bandits who are attacking an innocent village.
* {{Ronin}}: He is an ex-Sith who wanders the galaxy and pledges allegiance to no master.
* VillainProtagonist: Downplayed. He's the protagonist of "The Duel" and the novel ''Star Wars Visions: Ronin'', and explicitly a former member of the villainous Sith Order -- yet unlike other Sith, he's AmbiguouslyEvil and doesn't seem to draw his power from TheDarkSide, and appears to be a HunterOfHisOwnKind.
* VillainRespect: In the segment of the ''Ronin'' novel's adaptation of the short, he makes a brief, silent prayer before the remains of the Jedi statue and the dead Kouru; it's unclear if he's praying for the Jedi statue, Kouru, or both.

A Sith fugitive who leads a group of bandits that have been harassing a rural village.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: While she's certainly humanoid, the lack of color and the pointy ears make it difficult to determine what's her species.
* BigBad: She's the central antagonist of "The Duel", which focuses on her attack on an innocent village.
* CompressedHair: She has a gigantic, flame-shaped afro that springs up the moment her veil comes off.
* DarkActionGirl: As expected from a Sith, she's very skilled with the lightsaber and just as ruthless as other Darksiders.
* InstantFlightJustAddSpinning: Her lightsaber parasol attachment allows her to hover in the air when it's spinning at full speed, the same as the Inquisitors and their lightsabers in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''.
* InTheBack: After tricking her with a decoy, the Ronin stabs her from behind.
* LightIsNotGood: In [[Literature/StarWarsVisionsRonin the novel]] it is revealed she has an affinity for the light side of the Force ("white flare") but she is ruthless and antagonistic.
* NoNameGiven: While the short doesn't give her name, the ''Ronin'' novel gives her name: Kouru.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:The ''Ronin'' novel reveals that she's somehow alive, abruptly catapulting back to life sometime after the Ronin "killed" her.]]
* ParasolOfPain: She wields a parasol-shaped weapon with lightsabers as the spokes, which she can [[SpectacularSpinning spin rapidly]] like the Inquisitor lightsabers.
* PointyEars: Her ears are pointy.
* ShoutOut:
** Her lightsaber-spoked parasol is a reference to the bladed umbrella weapon from ''Film/Shadow2018''.
** According to WordOfGod, one of the inspirations for the character was the titular character of ''Film/LadySnowblood''. Fittingly enough, that film was the inspiration for ''Film/KillBill'', and the Sith Bandit Leader is voiced by O-Ren Ishii's actress, Creator/LucyLiu.

-->''"Let's make this our best show ever!"''
The aspiring leader of the band Star Waver on Tatooine.
----
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was originally a Jedi Padawan abandoned on the battlefield during the Clone Wars (implied to be a survivor of Order 66), where he was found and taken in by Geezer and the rest of his future bandmates. He still keeps his broken lightsaber in the present, though it was never repaired and no longer ignites. Later on, he rebuilds it into a microphone, choosing to let go of the past and embrace his present and future with the band.
* GenocideSurvivor: He escaped death in Order 66 and the Purge, and is now making a new life for himself, distanced from his Jedi past.
* SupportingProtagonist: He's the main character and has enough baggage to easily be the focus of an entire story by himself, but the short is ultimately driven by Gee's conflict with his family, and Jay's Jedi past isn't important.
* VagueAge: Due to the drawing style it is difficult to determine how old he is supposed to be.
* WreckedWeapon: His lightsaber was broken beyond repair during Order 66. He eventually converts it into a microphone.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He took Jay in under his wing after he was abandoned on the battlefield near the end of the Clone Wars, which is why Jay is so adamant to try and rescue him from Jabba's clutches.
* DefectorFromDecadence: He's a Hutt who refuses to get involved with Jabba's criminal syndicate because he wanted to be a musician, which is why Jabba hires bounty hunters to bring him back to be punished.
* FamilyBusiness: He's a relative of Jabba's, but wants to distance himself from the Kajidic.

* TokenHeroicOrc: Gee is one of the very few Hutts who isn't a crime boss or directly associated with criminal activity. [[DeconstructedTrope Unfortunately]], Jabba has an image to maintain, which means Gee has to die to uphold it.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunyaEnoki (Japanese), Creator/NeilPatrickHarris (English)
One of two twins born of the dark side leading an Imperial faction against the New Republic. Karre eventually decides to defect after having a vision of his sister dying.
----
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: [[spoiler:Karre can somehow survive being launched into hyperspace outside of the protection of his X-wing.]] Anime physics to the rescue!
* {{BFS}}: His half of the large Kyber Crystal was inserted into his lightsaber, which grants it the ability to extend to absurdly massive lengths, [[spoiler:enough for him to slice a [[MileLongShip Star Destroyer]] clean in half with it.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: Though he's apparently the younger twin between him and Am, a big part of his decision to defect from the dark side is motivated by his desire to save his sister from death.
* BioAugmentation: He and his sister were created by an unknown group of Sith or dark side acolytes, possibly the [[Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker Sith Eternal]].
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to his sister's Cain.
* CompanyCrossReferences: His hairstyle intentionally resembles Lio Fotia's, one of the deuteragonists of Creator/StudioTrigger's ''Anime/{{Promare}}''. Likewise, his lightsaber along with the color scheme of the short prominently uses a cyan-pink gradient, which is also a reference to Lio Fotia's colors.
* DefectorFromDecadence: He was a dark side Force-user who served an Imperial Remnant faction before turning against them. Not because he had any issue with their ideals, but because doing so meant saving his sister.
* HeelFaceTurn: Was raised under the dark side, but betrayed them to save Am. [[CainAndAbel She, however, did not]]. It's indicated that part of this was a vision to save her from an early death by the Kyber Crystal that she was using, although the philosophy that he describes indicates that something else caused him to be disillusioned with the Empire.
* HeroicNeutral: Karre states outright that he doesn't have a stake in the conflict between the Empire and the Republic, but he can't bear to see his sister throw her own life away for the dark side. That said, he seems to lack any genuine malice from what we see of him.
* LaserBlade: Has a unique cyan-pink gradient lightsaber that is powered by the half of the Kyber Crystal he was able to grab onto.
* ShockAndAwe: He throws some lightning during the duel with his sister, though it's possibly just a stylized depiction of the Force since it doesn't act like normal Force lightning.
* {{Tuckerization}}: He is named after Leia's actress, Creator/CarrieFisher.

One of the twins born of the dark side leading an Imperial faction against the New Republic. Unlike her brother, she is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the destruction of the Republic.
----
* ArmedLegs: The stiletto heels of her boots have lightsaber emitters built into them.
* BigBad: The villainess of "The Twins".
* BioAugmentation: She and her brother were created by an unknown group of Sith or dark side acolytes, which may or not have been the Sith Eternal.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to her brother's Abel.
* CleavageWindow: The first part of her dark armor to be destroyed as Karre slices the Star Destroyer in half is her breastplate, leaving Am with a noticeable one of these in her jumpsuit.
* ClothingDamage: Her helmet is knocked off during the fight with Karre, while the rest of her dark armor is destroyed when he slices the Star Destroyer in half, leaving her in the now-tattered black jumpsuit she wore under it.
* CombatStilettos: She has absolutely zero problems moving and fighting, despite the distinctive spiked heels of her armor. [[ExaggeratedTrope Which also have]] [[ArmedLegs lightsabers built into them.]]
* EvilIsHammy: Karre didn't need to slice the Star Destroyer in half, [[ChewingTheScenery Am had already chewed through most of it]]. Alison Brie is clearly enjoying herself.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: She can activate four mechanical arms from her suit to wield more lightsabers, overwhelming Karre.
* ShockAndAwe: She throws some lightning during the duel with her brother, though it's possibly just a stylized depiction of the Force since it doesn't act like normal Force lightning.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: While it's unclear how deliberate the resemblance is, some of her characterization sounds similar to that of [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Lumiya]]. Both are female Darth Vader expies who were active after the Battle of Endor and wore very distinctive masks of their own as well as a lightwhip. Both are also willing to die for the sake of the dark side and fight a blonde protagonist they used to be close with.
* {{Tuckerization}}: She is named for Luke's actor, Creator/MarkHamill.
* UncertainDoom: Am's left floating in space without her armor and apparently unconscious after Karre destroys the ''Gemini''-class Star Destroyer, but is rescued by [=B-20N=] equipped with a jetpack, and when Karre reawakens after crash-landing, he tells R-DUO not to worry as he can sense she's still alive and out there somewhere.
* TheUnfettered: Unlike her brother, Am is prepared to give everything she has in service to the dark side, viewing it as her very reason for being. This includes her own life, if necessary.
* WhipSword: Her set of six lightsabers is shown to be able to shift into a lightwhip mode, similar to Vernestra Rwoh's lightsaber from ''Franchise/TheHighRepublic''. Karre is able to use this property against her, however, entangling them on the blade of his own lightsaber and pulling her off-balance.

----
* AchillesInHisTent: Traumatized by the events of Order 66, fearing for her life, and lacking confidence in her abilities as a masterless padawan, F is initially reluctant to help the village against the raiders. However, she ends up coming through, knighting herself and revealing herself as a Jedi as she saves the village residents.
* BigDamnHeroes: F saves both sisters from Izuma's attempts to kill and/or kidnap them.
* BulletCatch: She uses the Force to stop Izuma's blaster bolt before it can kill Saku, á la Kylo Ren.
* ButNowIMustGo: She flies off into space after defeating the bandits.
* CoolMask: She wears a black half-mask throughout most of the short. Once she resolves herself to rescue the villagers, she ditches it.
* CombatStilettos: Her heels shift into a mode that allows her to use [[SuperSpeed Force Speed]] with no problems.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Her outfit is black and intimidating but her mentor Valco says it doesn't suit her. Her alignment is ambiguous until the end.
* GenocideSurvivor: She's an Order 66 survivor, and still struggles with the trauma.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: She has a scar on the right of her chin, and despite her initial reluctance, she's still a Jedi.
* ImportantHaircut: Before rescuing the village from the raiders, she cuts off her Padawan braid, thus knighting herself.
* LaserBlade: But of course. Her lightsaber features a yellow blade and a katana-Esque silhouette when ignited, similarly to the Darksaber.
* LiteralDisarming: As she kills Izuma, she takes his blaster arm with it.
* NoNameGiven: She is only known as F, which is never even said in the short itself.
* SingleStrokeBattle: Using Force Speed, she only needs one swing of her lightsaber to end the raiders' threat.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Played with. Her eyes are actually dark greyish-blue, but the moment she ignites her lightsaber, they reflect the light and turn gold.
* SuperSpeed: Uses Force Speed, an ability that a Force-blind raider like Izuma has no defense against.
* SupportingProtagonist: Despite being the clear heroine of the short, she has no real relationship with the titular Village Bride Haru. She just saves her.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She and Asu have been friends since childhood and they get married... right as she is about to be taken hostage by the raiders.
* FairytaleWeddingDress: Spends the first half of the short in one. {{Justified}} since it's her wedding day.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Haru is the responsible to Saku's foolish. Haru's plan to trade her life for her grandfather's to the raiders is contrasted by Saku's goal of fighting the raiders off. Saku gets captured and is nearly executed for it, even as Haru is begging Izuma not to kill her sister.
* HumanShield: Izuma, when on the verge of defeat, tries to use her as one to get F to stand down. Too bad for him, F is a Jedi.
* MeaningfulName: ハル (''haru'') can also be spelled as 春, meaning "spring". "Bride" in Japanese is 花嫁 (''hanayome''), of which the literal translation is "flower daughter-in-law".
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to her sister Saku's red. Haru is calm, dresses more conservatively and feminine (even without her wedding dress), and is willing to trade her safety for the village's. Saku is brash, dresses in a more revealing and tomboyish outfit, and is prepared to actually fight for the village.

----
* BestFriendsInLaw: She was as much of a childhood friend to Asu as he was to her sister Haru. She has no objections to the two getting married and is madder about Haru's decision to agree to be the raiders' hostage.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to her sister Haru's responsible. She'd rather act directly against the raiders than go with her sister's more cautious plan of agreeing to the raiders' terms. Her decision nearly costs her life.
* FamilyThemeNaming: ''Saku'' means "to bloom" (for example, ''sakusou'' means "to let bloom", and ''sakura'' is the Japanese name for cherry blossoms, an important flower in Japanese culture). This goes well with her sister Haru's name meaning "spring".
* LaResistance: She tries to be this but she and her friends are easily captured offscreen.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to her sister's blue. Saku is brash, confrontational, has longer hair, and more revealing, tomboyish clothing. Haru is calm, reasonable, has short hair, and wears conservative, feminine clothing.

* BadassNormal: He never displays the slightest hint of Force-sensitivity, let alone powers, but his incredible sniping skills and resourcefulness mean he can back up the Jedi F very effectively.
* BatmanGambit: The entire short is his for F [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre to help her see she's capable of being a Jedi]]. He has her come to Keelia and reminisce about the girl's late master, knowing F will sooner or later see the village of Meevai and get involved in their plight.

* CoolOldGuy: He's old and uses trickery to convince F to help the villagers on Keelia.

The warlord of the bandits threatened Haru's village.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It goes unsaid what species he is, though he is near-human, the BaldOfEvil and ash-white skin color are defined racial traits of the Rattataki.
* AnArmAndALeg: F cuts his arm off as she kills him.
* BaldOfEvil: A human([[AmbiguouslyHuman -like]]) character without a speck of hair on his scalp, and a real scumbag of a person.
* BigBad: The main antagonist of "The Village Bride". His bandits and battle droids are the looming threat that's forcing Haru to give herself up to protect her village from them.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece:
** He becomes a threat when he found and reprogrammed several B1 Battle Droids courtesy of the Separatists who had abandoned Keelia after strip-mining the planet.
** His [[CoolStarship Starship]] is an ''XS'' Stock Light Freighter: a Corellian Engineering Corporation ship model that was built well over '''3680''' years before the events of The Clone Wars.
* TheBully: A small-time scumbag who uses battle droids to extort an unarmed village. Once he encounters real resistance from someone who isn't intimidated, his confidence disappears.
* CrazyPrepared: Izuma predicted someone--Saku--would be crazy enough to try to fight back, and had a few battle droids patrolling just in case.
* DirtyCoward: Hides behind his men and his battle droids, and when both are taken down, he'll resort to HumanShield tactics to survive.
* HateSink: Nothing about this slime ball is redeemable. Unlike several other villains in this anthology who are either intimidating badasses (many of the Sith and/or Dark-Siders), are a TragicVillain of some kind, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs or are both somehow]], Izuma is the leader of a group of bandits who are bullying a defenseless village that had already lost everything of value to the Separatists years ago, and is taking Haru hostage. He also is a SmugSnake who panics at the first sight of genuine resistance in the forms of F and Valco.
* HumanShield: Tried to take Haru as one to defend himself from F. Too bad that, as she's a Jedi, she's naturally much faster on the draw.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Calls F a "monster", despite all of the monstrous things he is doing in the short.
* IHaveYourWife: He wanted to capture the village chief as a political hostage of Meevai's submission to him. He was willing to settle for Haru, instead.
* KeystoneArmy: His battle droids are powered by his ship. Unfortunately, once the ship is destroyed, his battle droids go offline.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: Once he has Saku captured offscreen, he plans to show Meevai what happens to people who defy him. [[BigDamnHeroes F]] [[ReturnToShooter puts a stop to that]].
* MeaningfulName: His name is close to 泉 (''izumi''), meaning "(water) spring, fountain" — Haru's name means a different kind of spring, befitting that they're opposing forces.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: The only reason Izuma poses any threat is because of his battle droids, and even they're only dangerous because he's targeting a peaceful village that's been stripped of its ability to fight back. Once F and Valco join the fray, his "army" folds like a stack of cards and Izuma is killed by F with little effort.
* SmugSnake: He acts like a confident, suave big shot when he has his men and battle droids behind him, but once F reveals herself and his henchmen is taken out, his bravado flies out the window.
* VillainousBreakdown: His confident demeanor evaporates fast when F intervenes, and even moreso when Valco takes out his battle droids. In his panic, he demands to know what F is while using Haru as a human shield.
* WhatTheHellAreYou: Demands this of F while holding Haru at gunpoint. It's likely he's never seen or even heard of a Jedi before, so F's extraordinary powers naturally have him spooked.

A group of salvaged B1 battle droids that's used by Izuma to threaten the village.
----
* KeystoneArmy: Like the OOM-series battle droids presented in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', they're controlled by a central computer, and the droids shut down when it's destroyed.
* MechaMooks: They serve as this for Izuma.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: B1 Battle Droids aren't normally considered a significant threat, but against villagers with little weapons or training, they're dangerous enough for Haru to surrender herself.
* TheRemnant: They were left behind by a Separatist mining operation, and reactivated by Izuma, making them one of the few surviving droid forces.
* SchizoTech: InUniverse. They're controlled by a central computer like the droids in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', but they were deployed by the Separatists at least a decade later when droids could function independently to avoid being a KeystoneArmy, which also explained why the new droids were so unintelligent. These droids combine the worst of both options, being dumb and centralized.
* TooDumbToLive: When Valco stops firing and throws his helmet at them, they gather around it and wonder what it is. Only one of the group thinks to at least point a blaster at the helmet before it destroys Izuma's ship.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: At the end of the episode, she's by far the youngest member of Juro's group.
* BadassAdorable: A cute earnest girl who can more than hold her own.
* {{BFS}}: Her lightsaber is initially longer than her entire body, and switches repeatedly between this mode and one shorter than her arm. This is explained by her lack of confidence in her connection to the Force, and when she has to use the saber in battle, it switches to a more manageable 3-foot length.
* CombatParkour: Her main fighting style while wielding a lightsaber has her performing a series of fast flips and somersaults to keep her opponents from overwhelming her with brute force, likely to make up for her smaller build and stature against her much larger enemies. It resembles the, in her time archaic, form of Ataru.
* HumbleHero: Thinks her connection to the Force is weak (hence the initially-colorless blade), but it soon becomes clear that she isn't giving herself enough credit.
* InstantExpert: Her father comments that she shows a natural aptitude with the blade, and she's able to wield it one-handed, blocking blaster bolts, while riding a speeder backward through an icy forest. Justified, since her father is a sabersmith, so she's been around the weapons a lot. Besides, the Force.
* KidHero: She's 14 at most, yet is capable of fighting toe to toe against bounty hunters and a group of adult Sith despite her young age and supposed inexperience. It's implied that despite her claims, however, she's been trained by both Margrave Juro and her father.
* LaserBlade: When Zhima gives her her lightsaber for the first time, the blade is colorless. As he explains, the color of the lightsaber is dependent on the holder's connection to the Force. By the time she fights the Sith, it's a normal white-cored green.
* MeaningfulName: Kara's name is one letter off from Kira, the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen original]] name of Rey (and was reused for Qi'ra).
* MissingMom: She's only seen to be living with her father, and whatever happened to her mother isn't said.
* NiceGirl: Generally very respectful and friendly to everyone she interacts with.
* PinkMeansFeminine: She wears a pink robe.
* PluckyGirl: The situation throws a lot at Kara and while she has her small moments of vulnerability, she's able to tough it out and power through it all.
* TitleCharacter: She's the titular "Ninth Jedi" in the story.
* ThouShaltNotKill: She opts to disable a Jedi Hunter's speedster instead of killing him and even when fighting for her life against the Sith, she never kills any of them.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TetsuoKanao (Japanese), Creator/AndrewKishino (English)
The Margrave of Hy Izlan, who assembles a hidden group of Jedi at the Aerial Temple.
----
* BigGood: Despite appearances, his intent to restore the Jedi Order is genuine, and many of those who responded to his call were actually Sith.
* CoolSword: His lightsaber forms a ring with the blade at the top of the hilt, acting as a ''tsuba'', the hand guard on Japanese swords.
* CurbStompBattle: The Sith acolytes are no match for him, as he handily cuts down most of them with little difficulty. While he's briefly put on the backfoot by Roden's Force lightning, Juro quickly regains the upper hand once Kara is in danger.
* DarkIsNotEvil: His color scheme is a distinct black with gold lining and he wears a mask with red eye lenses. However, it turns out he's the BigGood.
* EmeraldPower: His lightsaber is colored green and he gets the most kills out of the heroes.
* FaceOfAThug: He wears a sinister-looking mask with red eyes. However, he is a noble and kind man entirely on the Jedi's side, [[spoiler:unlike most of the Force-users that responded to his summons.]]
* GoodAllAlong: You would be forgiven if you think with his sinister helmet, the way he dresses, and the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast imposing-sounding title]] of ''Margrave''[[note]]A real, though obscure medieval European military rank mostly associated with the Holy Roman Empire[[/note]], that he would be the villain - but nope. He is a good guy; he was simply giving a SecretTestOfCharacter to weed out the Sith assassins among the group of Force-users who answered his call.
* GoodCounterpart: He's an OldMaster with plans to restore his order, who's attacked by a group of assassins serving the order that currently rules the galaxy, but easily fends them all off. He is essentially a heroic version of Palpatine.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He's a Jedi, but not opposed to killing his opponents.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a scar over his right eye, similar to characters like Anakin or Wolffe, but he otherwise looks no worse for wear and he's the BigGood.
* HonoraryUncle: Or possibly grandfather, considering his age. Kara has known him since she was born, and he goes PapaWolf when she's in danger.
* IronicName: His name means "tenth son", even though Kara is the last of the Nine Jedi to join the meeting (and thus is the "Ninth Jedi", as Juro puts it) and he would be the first "son" for arranging it in the first place. Unless you count Zhima as a tenth Jedi and considered Juro as the "tenth Jedi" for technically appearing in the short last…
* MiniMecha: It turns out his droid is one, allowing him to pretend to be one in the presence of the "Jedi" gathered at his temple.
* MythologyGag: An old high-ranking planetary noble who is a highly skilled and powerful Jedi Master? Count Dooku, is that you?
* NotSoAboveItAll: When he finally reveals himself to the Acolytes, he's gloating over how easily he fooled them.
* OldMaster: He's seen to be visibly up there in years when he removes his mask, but he's no slouch with a lightsaber, as the Sith found out the hard way.
* PapaWolf: When he sees Kara in danger, he starts mowing the Sith down faster than he did previously so he can go by her side to protect her.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted. The red eyes of his mask make him come off as sinister and untrustworthy, but in reality, it's the "Jedi" who answered his call that are dangerous.

* DistressedDude: He gets captured by the Sith for making lightsabers for the Jedi, and the short ends with Kara and co. going off to rescue him.
* GoodParents: His daughter loves him greatly, and he shows nothing but love in return.

-->"Each of us came here in answer to the same call."
A group of Jedi who answered the margrave's call. [[EvilAllAlong Except not]].
----
* AmbiguousSituation: The fate of the five Jedi they replaced is currently unknown. Juro can sense that they are alive, but whether they are still at large or have been imprisoned by the Sith is unclear.
* BigBadEnsemble: The main antagonists of "The Ninth Jedi" attempt to stop Juro from restoring the Jedi Order, and are responsible for sending the hunters that took Kara's father.
* TheBrute: Homen is the most physically imposing of the Sith acolytes, and outlasts the others. After returning to the light, he becomes TheBigGuy of Juro's group.
* EvilAllAlong: Though none of them give any indication of being Sith at first, once they each activate their lightsabers and the blades are shown to be red, their allegiance is mostly no longer in doubt. It turns out only two of the Force users that responded to Juro's summons are actually Jedi, the rest having been subjected to KillAndReplace.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being Sith, the group has a sense of comradeship with each other; after Hanbei is struck down by Juro, an angered Roden leads the charge against the Margrave, and Roden is also horrified when he sees Niizo has been slain.
* EvilOldFolks: Hanbei is an older man, though still a Sith.
* FlockOfWolves: TheReveal in the episode is that, rather than being a group of Jedi that was at worst infiltrated by one or two Sith assassins, as one would expect, they are ''all'' Sith.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Niizo is a blue-skinned humanoid alien, likely a Pantoran.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Hanbei is horizontally sliced in half by the Margrave.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Homen is one of the few of the group that came to the temple that is actually a Jedi, and was sent by Juro to spy on the Sith. While he fights against Ethan, Kara, and Juro, it's only because the combined power of the dark side from the acolytes overwhelmed him, and he snaps out of it once the impostors are defeated. Fittingly, while his lightsaber starts off red like the others, it changes to purple as the fight continues.
* KickTheDog: They cruelly mock Kara over the fact they have taken her father.
* KillAndReplace: Downplayed. They are Sith acolytes who have answered the margrave's call in the place of Jedi, but the Jedi they replaced are still alive, though missing in action.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: To maintain his cover, Roden passes the lightsaber he gets from Juro to Ethan. If he hadn't, or if one of the other Sith had asked to see it afterward, Ethan wouldn't have stood a chance against the acolytes in the ensuing battle.
* ReligiousRobot: Toguro appears to be a droid, though it could be some kind of cybernetics since we don't see their full body.
* ShipTease: Niizo calls out Roden's name when she sees him struggling against the Margrave, and Roden becomes upset at the deaths of his comrades at the hands of the Margrave, which is represented when he sees Niizo dead on the floor.
* ShockAndAwe: Roden throws some lightning at the margrave, and it's the only attack that visibly throws Juro off his game.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Niizo is the only woman in the group.
* StarterVillain: They are the first Sith foes faced by Juro and his Jedi, and are taken down rather easily. As Hanbei says, they are just acolytes and not true Sith Lords.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Homen. He actually is a Jedi, sent in as a spy to weed out the acolytes, but their combined connection to the dark side nearly corrupted him, hence his lightsaber initially being red. As the fight goes on though, he manages to break free and returns to being a Jedi once the acolytes are dead.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about them without revealing that they're actually Sith.
* WhamShot: They've just received the lightsabers Kara risked life and limb to deliver, igniting them for the first time... and except for Ethan's, [[EvilAllAlong every blade is red.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: They have no problems trying to kill Kara.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasakoNozawa (Japanese), Jaden Waldman (English)
A unique droid created by Professor Mitaka, though rather than assist his creator, he'd rather play Jedi.
----
* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: He can rotate his limbs and torso a full 360 degrees without trouble.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's left vague if he's Force-sensitive or not. He acts the part of a Jedi, but he never performs any actual Force powers, and his vision could be a pre-programmed memory.
* AstroClone: T0-B1 is a clear homage to Anime/AstroBoy, with his name being derived from Tobio and having his distinct hair spike.
* BecomeARealBoy: According to the plot synopsis, Tobi wants to be a Jedi, even though as far as we know, droids can't be Force-sensitive (in the current canon, anyways…) because they're not living beings.
* LiteralMinded: When his search of Tatooine turns up nothing for finding a kyber crystal, Mitaka instructs him to use the Force... and T0-B1, not knowing what the Force is, spends time looking for THAT instead.
* MeaningfulName: Besides the PunnyName, Tobi(o) was the name of Professor Tenma's dead son, who he based Manga/AstroBoy off of.
* MythologyGag: His PunnyName for Obi-Wan may be a reference to pre-Prequel Trilogy theories that Obi-Wan was a clone due to his name resembling the LeetSpeak spelling used to designate droids (the name "Obi-Wan" being formed from "[=OB1=]").
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: After discovering Mitaka's spaceship, Tobi tries to use it to contact any Jedi out in the galaxy and ends up drawing the Inquisitor to their home, resulting in Mitaka's death.
* PunnyName:
** T… Obi-Wan.
** His name can also be read as "to be one". The Jedi are his heroes, and he'd like...to be one.
** The studio behind ''T0-B1'' is called Science SARU. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarutobi_Sasuke Sarutobi Sasuke]] is a famous ninja from Japanese folktales.
** Finally, if you read 1 as "ih", it becomes "To be", as in "[[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} or not to be]]".
* ReligiousRobot: Well, a robot who believes in the Force, at least. He wishes to be a Jedi, though it's left [[AmbiguousSituation ambiguous]] if he's actually Force-sensitive or not.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Playing as a Jedi in Mitaka's old ship unintentionally caused his playful "calling all Jedi" to be picked up by a passing inquisitor, who decided to investigate.

----
* GenocideSurvivor: He's an Order 66 survivor, and handles the trauma by dedicating himself to non-Jedi pursuits while still passing on his teachings.
* HandicappedBadass: He has no arms during the short, yet is secretly training T0-B1 for most of it before his death. He's even able to use Force-powers without said arms!
* KilledOffscreen: His death is not shown. He orders T0-B1 to hide from the Inquisitor; when he leaves his hiding spot, his lab has been ransacked and he's already in a grave.
* LikeASonToMe: He refers to his creations as "my children".
* MeaningfulName: The city of Mitaka is home to the [[Creator/StudioGhibli Ghibli Museum]].
* MentorOccupationalHazard: He is killed by the Inquisitor, forcing T0-B1 to step up.

* BigBad: Of "T0-B1". He's on the hunt for survivors of Order 66, is responsible for the death of Professor Mitaka, and later returns to finish the job with T0-B1.
* BlackKnight: According to animator Takufumi Hori, the Inquisitor is meant to visually invoke this trope, with his armor being designed to look like a medieval knight's.
* DueToTheDead: Since there was no one else around, it can be assumed that the Inquisitor had enough respect for Mitaka to construct him a burial mound.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: As horribly ruthless as the Inquisitor is, he still gave Mitaka a proper burial rather than desecrating the latter's corpse.
* HeroKiller: He killed Mitaka and devastated the laboratory during his first attack. His second attack has him destroy even more droids, and he nearly kills T0-B1 in their duel before T0-B1 turns it around.

----
* BadassTeacher: He's Dan's master and an exceptional fighter in combat.
* CombatPragmatist: He duels to win, not to show off. He grabs the elder's hand to disarm him, then destroys his lightsaber. He also uses the (somewhat obscure) lightsaber technique Tràkata to get under his enemy's guard by switching off the lightsaber, then turning it on for the killing strike.
* DentedIron: Part of the reason Tajin struggles in his duel with the Elder is because he too is starting to feel the effects of age. A big part of the reason he manages to win against the Elder at all is that the Elder is even older and more dented than he is. Tajin admits to Dan afterward that he'll continue to grow weaker as Dan, still young and vital, grows stronger.
* DrunkWithPower: Defied. While he does think that power is useful because it could be used to help those without it, he recognizes its impermanence and acquiesced pride in his abilities because he knew that they would one day wane.
* EmeraldPower: His lightsaber is green, and he's far more skilled than his BlueIsHeroic apprentice. For now, at least. He admits that Dan will surpass him in time.
* OldMaster: While not on The Elder's level yet, he's a decently aged Jedi with decades of experience honing his skills with both the Force and a lightsaber. Just like the Elder, it's {{deconstructed|Trope}} because he's not as capable of exerting his power as he was in his prime, with the only reason he won being that the Elder was even more ravaged by time. He chooses to lead into the "master" part more heavily by imparting his youthful and still-growing Padawan Dan with knowledge and experience so that he too can become a master with time.
* PassingTheTorch: What he wants to do to Dan, but fate seems to be intervening.
* PermaStubble: Goes well with his traveling lifestyle when compared to other Jedi of his time.
* TheStoic: He emotes very little in the short, only showing terror when he senses Dan being wounded.

* BlueIsHeroic: His lightsaber is blue and he's a heroic, albeit eager, Jedi Padawan.
* FriendToAllChildren: He's shown to be good with children, quickly befriending the local children of an isolated village.
* HotBlooded: He's very eager to take the fight to the Sith to test his skills in battle. He learns the hard way that he's out of his depth when the Elder ambushes and almost kills him.
* NotQuiteDead: The Elder forgot to MakeSureHesDead before challenging Tajin, and that proved to be part of his downfall.

* BlackEyesOfEvil: When he opens his eyes, they're shown to be mostly black with [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness yellow pupils]].
* BloodKnight: His one definitive goal is finding a strong opponent to fight against, lamenting that the local wildlife and Dan were insufficient for his desires. When he meets Tajin, he laments that they couldn't have fought when he was in his prime.
* DefectorFromDecadence: His dialogue with Dan implies that he left the Sith Order because he's tired of their inherent backstabbing ways, believing it only made them neglect their destiny.
* DentedIron: He may be a skilled lightsaber combatant, but he's still an old man and no longer in his prime. As a result, he goes down fairly quickly when he duels the much younger Tajin.
* DoNotGoGentle: He is overjoyed to meet Tajin, as he can go out in a fight against a strong opponent.
* DualWielding: Wields two red lightsabers that take the shape of katanas.
* EvilCounterpart: His old age, small stature, and surprisingly acrobatic fighting style make him come off as a villainous version of Yoda. James Hong's vocal performance and a few bits of odd sentence structure make him sound like Yoda, too.
* EvilOldFolks: He's called the Elder for a reason and is certainly a nasty customer. Ultimately, the "old" part becomes his downfall, as his skill has weakened over what is implied to have been centuries.
* MysteriousPast: Who exactly is this guy and what's his deal? Well... [[RiddleForTheAges only he knows]].
* NoNameGiven: They never even know his name.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: His body turns into ash after being fatally injured by Tajin.
* OldMaster: As the titular Elder, he's a villainous example, being an elderly dark side warrior with incredible skill in lightsaber combat. That said, it's {{deconstructed|Trope}} by how his age has taken a great toll on his physical ability, and it ultimately causes him to lose the battle.
* ShockAndAwe: His use of Force lightning makes it clear beyond any doubt to Tajin that this guy is a darksider.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His eyes are a deep yellow color with a black sclera to boot, a universal sign of a Sith who has mastery over the dark side.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Let's see. An ObviouslyEvil [[EvilOldFolks senior citizen]] with clear ties to the dark side [[EvilMakesYouUgly ravaging his body]], enacts his plans prior to the [[Film/StarWarsEpisodeIThePhantomMenace Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo]], [[EvilLaughter and likes to laugh like a supervillain]]? He's clearly one of Palpatine.
* VillainousBreakdown: After spending most of the short calmly enjoying combat, he becomes noticeably more unhinged and desperate once Tajin quickly takes out one of his lightsabers. While he says nothing, he starts visibly shaking with a manic expression on his face as he throws Force lightning, foregoing all pretense of not still being connected to the Dark Side.
* ZeroEffortBoss: For all his build-up, Tajin ultimately makes short work of him. {{Justified|Trope}} by Tajin as he notes that this was thanks more to the Elder's advanced age; had he been in his prime, things would have ended MUCH differently.

* HappilyAdopted: She was saved from a life of slavery and subsequently adopted by Yasaburo as a daughter under the insistence of Ochō who wanted Lop as a younger sister.

* FaceHeelTurn: She is introduced as a sweet little girl, but seven years down the line she has sworn allegiance to the Empire.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She claims the right to hold the family weapon because she's family, which is quite rich seeing as she went against her family's wishes and effectively disowned them by joining the Empire.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: She tries to justify joining the Empire by saying that it's the only way their family and the people of Tao can survive, as the Imperial Officer had threatened earlier that he will take extreme action against them if she couldn't stop Yasaburo from attacking Imperial property.
* ImportantHaircut: As an adult, she originally wears her hair in a long braided ponytail. After she joins the Empire she cuts it off at the base, symbolizing her defection from her father.
* MissingMom: Her mother is neither present nor mentioned.
* ThickerThanWater: Despite loving Lop as a sister when they first meet and for years before the second part of the short, she balks at her father giving Lop the family's ancestral lightsaber, claiming that because she is Yasaburo's biological daughter that the honor should have gone to her.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Was the one who insisted that they should adopt Lop. Skip a few years later, and she's become an avid supporter of the Empire and denounces Lop as her sister.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She honestly believes that the only way she could save her family's legacy and their people is to side with the Empire.

* AerithAndBob: As far as anime names and ''Star Wars'' names go, 弥三郎 (Yasaburo) is a name you could find being used by a handful of Japanese men.
* EyeScream: Ochō takes out his good eye in their duel.
* FaceOfAThug: He looks like a yakuza boss, but is a good guy.
* FightsLikeANormal: Despite having been trained with a lightsaber and seemingly using the Force to show Lop the family history, he fights only with physical prowess.
* LikeADaughterToMe: While he initially was reluctant to adopt Lop, by the time she grew into a young woman, Yasaburo came to view her as kin, no different than Ochō, hence his decision to entrust the clan and their ancestral lightsaber to Lop after Ochō joins the Empire.
* ParentsAsPeople: He doesn’t always get along with his daughter Ochō due to their disagreements on what is best for their home, but it’s clear he loves her, even after she betrays him. He also initially shows favoritism towards his blood daughter and didn’t give Lop as much attention, but he apologizes for this and comes to see Lop as kin by the end.
* RebelLeader: He becomes the leader of the resistance forces against the Empire on his planet, which sets him up on a path of conflict against his own daughter Ochō who sees siding with the Empire would be more beneficial to the planet. However, while the Empire is unpopular, Yasaburo's actions are seen as foolhardy and dangerous, and most of his clan ends up abandoning him.
* RuggedScar: Two scars (one vertical that takes out one of his eyes, one horizontal (that crosses his nose) that intersect one another on his face, and another scar on his torso (one long horizontal and three smaller verticals).

* AmbiguouslyHuman: His ears are pointed and green.
* BaitAndSwitchBoss: He's set up as the main villain of "Lop and Ochō", but he quickly exits the plot after Ochō's FaceHeelTurn and she becomes the main antagonist from that point forward.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He maintains a friendly and affable persona with his speeches as he tries to convince Ochō about the benefits of joining the Empire and that it's for the best of the planet, yet the smug grin he sprouts on his face implies otherwise, and that he's just trying to manipulate Ochō into becoming his pawn. [[TheBadGuyWins And he succeeds.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: He's presumably a high-ranking Imperial officer in charge of the occupation of the planet, and he coerces Ochō into joining the Empire by threatening her father and the townspeople with the consequences of Yasaburo's resistance activities. This directly results in Ochō's FaceHeelTurn. However, he isn't the short's primary antagonist. Lop never fights or confronts him, and by the end of the short, his control of the planet remains unquestionable.
* NoNameGiven: He is never given any identification other than his occupation.
* OverrankedSoldier: Downplayed. According to his insignia, he's either an admiral or a director. It isn't directly implausible, but it does seem strange that someone of his rank would be wasted on a minor assignment like Tao. AllThereInTheManual indicates he is part of the Imperial Security Bureau.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in one scene, yet his actions result in Ochō abandoning her family to join the Empire and cause a huge rift between Lop and Ochō, turning them from close sisters into bitter enemies.
* TheUnfought: Lop and Yasaburo don't get to directly confront him.

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Throughout the short, he's assailed by visions of cutting down a masked figure. [[spoiler:It turns out to be Misa, and the visions were sent by Masago.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:At the end of his short, Masago arranges for him to accidentally strike down Misa, and in his regret and grief that he couldn't prevent his vision from happening and being told that the dark side has the power to bring the dead back to life, he joins her as her apprentice to revive Misa.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: When the [[spoiler:revived]] Misa asks in horror what he just did, Tsubaki quotes this trope verbatim.
* InTheHood: [[spoiler:After Masago drives him to the dark side, he puts his hood up to make himself look more sinister.]]
* MeaningfulName: ''Tsubaki'' is the Japanese name for the camellia flower. In Japan, camellias symbolize a warrior's bad luck, as the petals of a camellia can suddenly wilt and fall all at once. Additionally, the camellia also represents longing, especially with red camellias specifically representing love. Tsubaki is a Jedi Knight, a warrior, who fights for the love of Misa, [[spoiler:and his story ends on a dark note]].
* PermaStubble: To show his older age.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes start to turn a dull blood red [[spoiler:as his vision comes true and he feels the dark side's temptation]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasakiTerasoma (Japanese), Creator/BrianTee (English)
->'''Appearances:''' ''[[Anime/StarWarsVisions Visions]]'' | ''[[Literature/StarWarsVisionsRonin Visions: Ronin]]''
A former Dark Lord of the Sith, now a fugitive from the Jedi, wandering the galaxy in the aftermath of a great war between the Light and Dark.
----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: He's steeped in ambiguity, with his exact alignment and motives remaining a mystery even in the episode's ending. He doesn't bother defending the village until a stray blaster bolt hits his droid, and doesn't make any effort to save the village's mercenary guards, but when the village chief comes to thank him for saving them, he gives the boy Kouru's kyber crystal as a good luck charm. He was once a Sith, yet he's now a HunterOfHisOwnKind, has the [[TheStoic stoic]] attitude customary of a Jedi, and never seems to draw from TheDarkSide. Is he [[TheAtoner seeking atonement]]? Questing for vengeance? Or simply eliminating rival Sith? It's all left up in the air. [[spoiler:The ambiguity continues in ''Literature/StarWarsVisionsRonin'', where he has good intentions but is rather ruthless about his actions.]]
* ApatheticCitizens: He's seemingly content with watching the bandits shake down the village for its taxes at first, only stepping in when the bandits' Sith chief makes herself known and the fight reaches him.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The novel reveals that the reason the Ronin's lightsaber has a scabbard is that the activation switch is broken, yet the blade is permanently active. While this defect necessitates the scabbard for keeping it safely concealed, this also makes sheathing incredibly dangerous.
* CombatPragmatist: In addition to lightsabers and Force powers, the Ronin also employs his droid to take down his enemies in a fight as well. He also tricks his opponent into attacking a statue, believing that it was him, before stabbing her from the back with the hidden second lightsaber built into the scabbard of his first one.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Well, more like "dark is a [[AntiHero Kurosawa protagonist]]", but in his debut short he is the protagonist despite being a Sith. In [[Literature/StarWarsVisionsRonin the novel]] it is revealed that [[spoiler:he started the Sith rebellion to free his fellow Force users from a genuinely oppressive system, but came to regret his actions and now is hunting down other Sith to redeem himself]].
* DeadPersonConversation: In the novel, the Ronin is haunted by a spirit, who taunts him and seems to know about his past. He sometimes responds to her, which makes others around him think he's muttering to himself.
* TheDrifter: He's a lone swordsman who happens to come by a village just as they are being pillaged by raiders. He's initially apathetic but steps in to battle the bandit leader when he learns that she is a Sith. Afterward, he departs, leaving only a token of his battle.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[AmbiguouslyEvil For a given value of "evil".]] Despite having once been a Sith, he ultimately defends the village from the bandits and their Sith leader and seems to be actively hunting other Sith.
* HazyFeelTurn: His alignment is unclear after becoming an ex-Sith since it's not clear if he's a RetiredMonster with a NobleDemon streak (since he doesn't intervene until he sees that there's a Sith Lord involved) or if he's TheAtoner.
* HiddenWeapons: The sheath to his lightsaber is ''also'' a lightsaber.
* HumbleHero: In true Kurosawa fashion, when asked who he is he calls himself a "simple wanderer".
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: He has killed ''multiple'' other Sith before the events of the short, going by the multiple red lightsaber crystals concealed in his tunic. According to the ''Ronin'' novel, he carries them so that they can no longer be used to harm again.
* LaserBlade: As one might expect from a {{Ronin}}, he fights using a katana-like lightsaber, which he even keeps sheathed in a ''saya'' (a Japanese-style sword scabbard) when not in use. This ''saya'' [[HiddenWeapons is also a lightsaber in and of itself]].
* NoNameGiven: As befits a Kurosawa protagonist. He never gives his name, even after being asked about it, and everyone simply refers to him as master Ronin.
* RedIsHeroic: [[AmbiguouslyEvil Maybe.]] He's at the very least an ex-Sith who fights with a red lightsaber and battles bandits who are attacking an innocent village.
* {{Ronin}}: He is an ex-Sith who wanders the galaxy and pledges allegiance to no master.
* VillainProtagonist: Downplayed. He's the protagonist of "The Duel" and the novel ''Star Wars Visions: Ronin'', and explicitly a former member of the villainous Sith Order -- yet unlike other Sith, he's AmbiguouslyEvil and doesn't seem to draw his power from TheDarkSide, and appears to be a HunterOfHisOwnKind.
* VillainRespect: In the segment of the ''Ronin'' novel's adaptation of the short, he makes a brief, silent prayer before the remains of the Jedi statue and the dead Kouru; it's unclear if he's praying for the Jedi statue, Kouru, or both.

----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: While she's certainly humanoid, the lack of color and the pointy ears make it difficult to determine what's her species.
* BigBad: She's the central antagonist of "The Duel", which focuses on her attack on an innocent village.
* CompressedHair: She has a gigantic, flame-shaped afro that springs up the moment her veil comes off.
* DarkActionGirl: As expected from a Sith, she's very skilled with the lightsaber and just as ruthless as other Darksiders.
* InstantFlightJustAddSpinning: Her lightsaber parasol attachment allows her to hover in the air when it's spinning at full speed, the same as the Inquisitors and their lightsabers in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''.
* InTheBack: After tricking her with a decoy, the Ronin stabs her from behind.
* LightIsNotGood: In [[Literature/StarWarsVisionsRonin the novel]] it is revealed she has an affinity for the light side of the Force ("white flare") but she is ruthless and antagonistic.
* NoNameGiven: While the short doesn't give her name, the ''Ronin'' novel gives her name: Kouru.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:The ''Ronin'' novel reveals that she's somehow alive, abruptly catapulting back to life sometime after the Ronin "killed" her.]]
* ParasolOfPain: She wields a parasol-shaped weapon with lightsabers as the spokes, which she can [[SpectacularSpinning spin rapidly]] like the Inquisitor lightsabers.
* PointyEars: Her ears are pointy.
* ShoutOut:
** Her lightsaber-spoked parasol is a reference to the bladed umbrella weapon from ''Film/Shadow2018''.
** According to WordOfGod, one of the inspirations for the character was the titular character of ''Film/LadySnowblood''. Fittingly enough, that film was the inspiration for ''Film/KillBill'', and the Sith Bandit Leader is voiced by O-Ren Ishii's actress, Creator/LucyLiu.

Likewise, his lightsaber along with the color scheme of the short prominently uses a cyan-pink gradient, which is also a reference to Lio Fotia's colors.
* DefectorFromDecadence: He was a dark side Force-user who served an Imperial Remnant faction before turning against them. Not because he had any issue with their ideals, but because doing so meant saving his sister.
* HeelFaceTurn: Was raised under the dark side, but betrayed them to save Am. [[CainAndAbel She, however, did not]]. It's indicated that part of this was a vision to save her from an early death by the Kyber Crystal that she was using, although the philosophy that he describes indicates that something else caused him to be disillusioned with the Empire.
* HeroicNeutral: Karre states outright that he doesn't have a stake in the conflict between the Empire and the Republic, but he can't bear to see his sister throw her own life away for the dark side. That said, he seems to lack any genuine malice from what we see of him.
* LaserBlade: Has a unique cyan-pink gradient lightsaber that is powered by the half of the Kyber Crystal he was able to grab onto.
* ShockAndAwe: He throws some lightning during the duel with his sister, though it's possibly just a stylized depiction of the Force since it doesn't act like normal Force lightning.
* {{Tuckerization}}: He is named after Leia's actress, Creator/CarrieFisher.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyokoShiraishi (Japanese), Creator/AlisonBrie (English)
One of the twins born of the dark side leading an Imperial faction against the New Republic. Unlike her brother, she is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the destruction of the Republic.
----
* ArmedLegs: The stiletto heels of her boots have lightsaber emitters built into them.
* BigBad: The villainess of "The Twins".
* BioAugmentation: She and her brother were created by an unknown group of Sith or dark side acolytes, which may or not have been the Sith Eternal.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to her brother's Abel.
* CleavageWindow: The first part of her dark armor to be destroyed as Karre slices the Star Destroyer in half is her breastplate, leaving Am with a noticeable one of these in her jumpsuit.
* ClothingDamage: Her helmet is knocked off during the fight with Karre, while the rest of her dark armor is destroyed when he slices the Star Destroyer in half, leaving her in the now-tattered black jumpsuit she wore under it.
* CombatStilettos: She has absolutely zero problems moving and fighting, despite the distinctive spiked heels of her armor. [[ExaggeratedTrope Which also have]] [[ArmedLegs lightsabers built into them.]]
* EvilIsHammy: Karre didn't need to slice the Star Destroyer in half, [[ChewingTheScenery Am had already chewed through most of it]]. Alison Brie is clearly enjoying herself.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: She can activate four mechanical arms from her suit to wield more lightsabers, overwhelming Karre.
* ShockAndAwe: She throws some lightning during the duel with her brother, though it's possibly just a stylized depiction of the Force since it doesn't act like normal Force lightning.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: While it's unclear how deliberate the resemblance is, some of her characterization sounds similar to that of [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Lumiya]]. Both are female Darth Vader expies who were active after the Battle of Endor and wore very distinctive masks of their own as well as a lightwhip. Both are also willing to die for the sake of the dark side and fight a blonde protagonist they used to be close with.
* {{Tuckerization}}: She is named for Luke's actor, Creator/MarkHamill.
* UncertainDoom: Am's left floating in space without her armor and apparently unconscious after Karre destroys the ''Gemini''-class Star Destroyer, but is rescued by [=B-20N=] equipped with a jetpack, and when Karre reawakens after crash-landing, he tells R-DUO not to worry as he can sense she's still alive and out there somewhere.
* TheUnfettered: Unlike her brother, Am is prepared to give everything she has in service to the dark side, viewing it as her very reason for being. This includes her own life, if necessary.
* WhipSword: Her set of six lightsabers is shown to be able to shift into a lightwhip mode, similar to Vernestra Rwoh's lightsaber from ''Franchise/TheHighRepublic''. Karre is able to use this property against her, however, entangling them on the blade of his own lightsaber and pulling her off-balance.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He's confirmed to be one of C-3PO as a protocol droid serving one of the main characters.

A mysterious Jedi with a tragic past.
----
* AchillesInHisTent: Traumatized by the events of Order 66, fearing for her life, and lacking confidence in her abilities as a masterless padawan, F is initially reluctant to help the village against the raiders. However, she ends up coming through, knighting herself and revealing herself as a Jedi as she saves the village residents.
* BigDamnHeroes: F saves both sisters from Izuma's attempts to kill and/or kidnap them.
* BulletCatch: She uses the Force to stop Izuma's blaster bolt before it can kill Saku, á la Kylo Ren.
* ButNowIMustGo: She flies off into space after defeating the bandits.
* CoolMask: She wears a black half-mask throughout most of the short. Once she resolves herself to rescue the villagers, she ditches it.
* CombatStilettos: Her heels shift into a mode that allows her to use [[SuperSpeed Force Speed]] with no problems.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Her outfit is black and intimidating but her mentor Valco says it doesn't suit her. Her alignment is ambiguous until the end.
* GenocideSurvivor: She's an Order 66 survivor, and still struggles with the trauma.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: She has a scar on the right of her chin, and despite her initial reluctance, she's still a Jedi.
* ImportantHaircut: Before rescuing the village from the raiders, she cuts off her Padawan braid, thus knighting herself.
* LaserBlade: But of course. Her lightsaber features a yellow blade and a katana-Esque silhouette when ignited, similarly to the Darksaber.
* LiteralDisarming: As she kills Izuma, she takes his blaster arm with it.
* NoNameGiven: She is only known as F, which is never even said in the short itself.
* SingleStrokeBattle: Using Force Speed, she only needs one swing of her lightsaber to end the raiders' threat.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Played with. Her eyes are actually dark greyish-blue, but the moment she ignites her lightsaber, they reflect the light and turn gold.
* SuperSpeed: Uses Force Speed, an ability that a Force-blind raider like Izuma has no defense against.
* SupportingProtagonist: Despite being the clear heroine of the short, she has no real relationship with the titular Village Bride Haru. She just saves her.

----
* TheChiefsDaughter: Well, granddaughter, but effectively fits the trope.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She and Asu have been friends since childhood and they get married... right as she is about to be taken hostage by the raiders.
* FairytaleWeddingDress: Spends the first half of the short in one. {{Justified}} since it's her wedding day.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Haru is the responsible to Saku's foolish. Haru's plan to trade her life for her grandfather's to the raiders is contrasted by Saku's goal of fighting the raiders off. Saku gets captured and is nearly executed for it, even as Haru is begging Izuma not to kill her sister.
* HumanShield: Izuma, when on the verge of defeat, tries to use her as one to get F to stand down. Too bad for him, F is a Jedi.
* MeaningfulName: ハル (''haru'') can also be spelled as 春, meaning "spring". "Bride" in Japanese is 花嫁 (''hanayome''), of which the literal translation is "flower daughter-in-law".
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to her sister Saku's red. Haru is calm, dresses more conservatively and feminine (even without her wedding dress), and is willing to trade her safety for the village's. Saku is brash, dresses in a more revealing and tomboyish outfit, and is prepared to actually fight for the village.
* TakeMeInstead: Rather than letting her grandfather the village chief be taken hostage by the raiders, she volunteers in his place.

Haru's sister and the leader of a failed resistance against the bandit raiders.
----
* BestFriendsInLaw: She was as much of a childhood friend to Asu as he was to her sister Haru. She has no objections to the two getting married and is madder about Haru's decision to agree to be the raiders' hostage.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to her sister Haru's responsible. She'd rather act directly against the raiders than go with her sister's more cautious plan of agreeing to the raiders' terms. Her decision nearly costs her life.
* FamilyThemeNaming: ''Saku'' means "to bloom" (for example, ''sakusou'' means "to let bloom", and ''sakura'' is the Japanese name for cherry blossoms, an important flower in Japanese culture). This goes well with her sister Haru's name meaning "spring".
* LaResistance: She tries to be this but she and her friends are easily captured offscreen.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to her sister's blue. Saku is brash, confrontational, has longer hair, and more revealing, tomboyish clothing. Haru is calm, reasonable, has short hair, and wears conservative, feminine clothing.

----
* BadassNormal: He never displays the slightest hint of Force-sensitivity, let alone powers, but his incredible sniping skills and resourcefulness mean he can back up the Jedi F very effectively.
* BatmanGambit: The entire short is his for F [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre to help her see she's capable of being a Jedi]]. He has her come to Keelia and reminisce about the girl's late master, knowing F will sooner or later see the village of Meevai and get involved in their plight.

* CastingGag: This isn't Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa's first foray as [[Characters/MortalKombatShangTsung a smooth-talking old trickster with a hidden agenda]]. He's just more heroic about it.
* CoolOldGuy: He's old and uses trickery to convince F to help the villagers on Keelia.
* FriendlySniper: A friendly, easygoing man and a crack shot with a rifle.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: He throws his helmet down at the raiders, which ignites and flies ''straight'' into their ship before exploding.
* MysteriousPast: We're not told much about him, though it's implied he was friends with her master.

The warlord of the bandits threatened Haru's village.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It goes unsaid what species he is, though he is near-human, the BaldOfEvil and ash-white skin color are defined racial traits of the Rattataki.
* AnArmAndALeg: F cuts his arm off as she kills him.
* BaldOfEvil: A human([[AmbiguouslyHuman -like]]) character without a speck of hair on his scalp, and a real scumbag of a person.
* BigBad: The main antagonist of "The Village Bride". His bandits and battle droids are the looming threat that's forcing Haru to give herself up to protect her village from them.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece:
** He becomes a threat when he found and reprogrammed several B1 Battle Droids courtesy of the Separatists who had abandoned Keelia after strip-mining the planet.
** His [[CoolStarship Starship]] is an ''XS'' Stock Light Freighter: a Corellian Engineering Corporation ship model that was built well over '''3680''' years before the events of The Clone Wars.
* TheBully: A small-time scumbag who uses battle droids to extort an unarmed village. Once he encounters real resistance from someone who isn't intimidated, his confidence disappears.
* CrazyPrepared: Izuma predicted someone--Saku--would be crazy enough to try to fight back, and had a few battle droids patrolling just in case.
* DirtyCoward: Hides behind his men and his battle droids, and when both are taken down, he'll resort to HumanShield tactics to survive.
* HateSink: Nothing about this slime ball is redeemable. Unlike several other villains in this anthology who are either intimidating badasses (many of the Sith and/or Dark-Siders), are a TragicVillain of some kind, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs or are both somehow]], Izuma is the leader of a group of bandits who are bullying a defenseless village that had already lost everything of value to the Separatists years ago, and is taking Haru hostage. He also is a SmugSnake who panics at the first sight of genuine resistance in the forms of F and Valco.
* HumanShield: Tried to take Haru as one to defend himself from F. Too bad that, as she's a Jedi, she's naturally much faster on the draw.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Calls F a "monster", despite all of the monstrous things he is doing in the short.
* IHaveYourWife: He wanted to capture the village chief as a political hostage of Meevai's submission to him. He was willing to settle for Haru, instead.
* KeystoneArmy: His battle droids are powered by his ship. Unfortunately, once the ship is destroyed, his battle droids go offline.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: Once he has Saku captured offscreen, he plans to show Meevai what happens to people who defy him. [[BigDamnHeroes F]] [[ReturnToShooter puts a stop to that]].
* MeaningfulName: His name is close to 泉 (''izumi''), meaning "(water) spring, fountain" — Haru's name means a different kind of spring, befitting that they're opposing forces.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: The only reason Izuma poses any threat is because of his battle droids, and even they're only dangerous because he's targeting a peaceful village that's been stripped of its ability to fight back. Once F and Valco join the fray, his "army" folds like a stack of cards and Izuma is killed by F with little effort.
* SmugSnake: He acts like a confident, suave big shot when he has his men and battle droids behind him, but once F reveals herself and his henchmen is taken out, his bravado flies out the window.
* VillainousBreakdown: His confident demeanor evaporates fast when F intervenes, and even moreso when Valco takes out his battle droids. In his panic, he demands to know what F is while using Haru as a human shield.
* WhatTheHellAreYou: Demands this of F while holding Haru at gunpoint. It's likely he's never seen or even heard of a Jedi before, so F's extraordinary powers naturally have him spooked.

A group of salvaged B1 battle droids that's used by Izuma to threaten the village.
----
* KeystoneArmy: Like the OOM-series battle droids presented in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', they're controlled by a central computer, and the droids shut down when it's destroyed.
* MechaMooks: They serve as this for Izuma.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: B1 Battle Droids aren't normally considered a significant threat, but against villagers with little weapons or training, they're dangerous enough for Haru to surrender herself.
* TheRemnant: They were left behind by a Separatist mining operation, and reactivated by Izuma, making them one of the few surviving droid forces.
* SchizoTech: InUniverse. They're controlled by a central computer like the droids in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', but they were deployed by the Separatists at least a decade later when droids could function independently to avoid being a KeystoneArmy, which also explained why the new droids were so unintelligent. These droids combine the worst of both options, being dumb and centralized.
* TooDumbToLive: When Valco stops firing and throws his helmet at them, they gather around it and wonder what it is. Only one of the group thinks to at least point a blaster at the helmet before it destroys Izuma's ship.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: At the end of the episode, she's by far the youngest member of Juro's group.
* BadassAdorable: A cute earnest girl who can more than hold her own.
* {{BFS}}: Her lightsaber is initially longer than her entire body, and switches repeatedly between this mode and one shorter than her arm. This is explained by her lack of confidence in her connection to the Force, and when she has to use the saber in battle, it switches to a more manageable 3-foot length.
* CombatParkour: Her main fighting style while wielding a lightsaber has her performing a series of fast flips and somersaults to keep her opponents from overwhelming her with brute force, likely to make up for her smaller build and stature against her much larger enemies. It resembles the, in her time archaic, form of Ataru.
* HumbleHero: Thinks her connection to the Force is weak (hence the initially-colorless blade), but it soon becomes clear that she isn't giving herself enough credit.
* InstantExpert: Her father comments that she shows a natural aptitude with the blade, and she's able to wield it one-handed, blocking blaster bolts, while riding a speeder backward through an icy forest. Justified, since her father is a sabersmith, so she's been around the weapons a lot. Besides, the Force.
* KidHero: She's 14 at most, yet is capable of fighting toe to toe against bounty hunters and a group of adult Sith despite her young age and supposed inexperience. It's implied that despite her claims, however, she's been trained by both Margrave Juro and her father.
* LaserBlade: When Zhima gives her her lightsaber for the first time, the blade is colorless. As he explains, the color of the lightsaber is dependent on the holder's connection to the Force. By the time she fights the Sith, it's a normal white-cored green.
* MeaningfulName: Kara's name is one letter off from Kira, the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen original]] name of Rey (and was reused for Qi'ra).
* MissingMom: She's only seen to be living with her father, and whatever happened to her mother isn't said.
* NiceGirl: Generally very respectful and friendly to everyone she interacts with.
* PinkMeansFeminine: She wears a pink robe.
* PluckyGirl: The situation throws a lot at Kara and while she has her small moments of vulnerability, she's able to tough it out and power through it all.
* TitleCharacter: She's the titular "Ninth Jedi" in the story.
* ThouShaltNotKill: She opts to disable a Jedi Hunter's speedster instead of killing him and even when fighting for her life against the Sith, she never kills any of them.

The Margrave of Hy Izlan, who assembles a hidden group of Jedi at the Aerial Temple.
----
* BigGood: Despite appearances, his intent to restore the Jedi Order is genuine, and many of those who responded to his call were actually Sith.
* CoolSword: His lightsaber forms a ring with the blade at the top of the hilt, acting as a ''tsuba'', the hand guard on Japanese swords.
* CurbStompBattle: The Sith acolytes are no match for him, as he handily cuts down most of them with little difficulty. While he's briefly put on the backfoot by Roden's Force lightning, Juro quickly regains the upper hand once Kara is in danger.
* DarkIsNotEvil: His color scheme is a distinct black with gold lining and he wears a mask with red eye lenses. However, it turns out he's the BigGood.
* EmeraldPower: His lightsaber is colored green and he gets the most kills out of the heroes.
* FaceOfAThug: He wears a sinister-looking mask with red eyes. However, he is a noble and kind man entirely on the Jedi's side, [[spoiler:unlike most of the Force-users that responded to his summons.]]
* GoodAllAlong: You would be forgiven if you think with his sinister helmet, the way he dresses, and the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast imposing-sounding title]] of ''Margrave''[[note]]A real, though obscure medieval European military rank mostly associated with the Holy Roman Empire[[/note]], that he would be the villain - but nope. He is a good guy; he was simply giving a SecretTestOfCharacter to weed out the Sith assassins among the group of Force-users who answered his call.
* GoodCounterpart: He's an OldMaster with plans to restore his order, who's attacked by a group of assassins serving the order that currently rules the galaxy, but easily fends them all off. He is essentially a heroic version of Palpatine.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He's a Jedi, but not opposed to killing his opponents.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a scar over his right eye, similar to characters like Anakin or Wolffe, but he otherwise looks no worse for wear and he's the BigGood.
* HonoraryUncle: Or possibly grandfather, considering his age. Kara has known him since she was born, and he goes PapaWolf when she's in danger.
* IronicName: His name means "tenth son", even though Kara is the last of the Nine Jedi to join the meeting (and thus is the "Ninth Jedi", as Juro puts it) and he would be the first "son" for arranging it in the first place. Unless you count Zhima as a tenth Jedi and considered Juro as the "tenth Jedi" for technically appearing in the short last…
* MiniMecha: It turns out his droid is one, allowing him to pretend to be one in the presence of the "Jedi" gathered at his temple.
* MythologyGag: An old high-ranking planetary noble who is a highly skilled and powerful Jedi Master? Count Dooku, is that you?
* NotSoAboveItAll: When he finally reveals himself to the Acolytes, he's gloating over how easily he fooled them.
* OldMaster: He's seen to be visibly up there in years when he removes his mask, but he's no slouch with a lightsaber, as the Sith found out the hard way.
* PapaWolf: When he sees Kara in danger, he starts mowing the Sith down faster than he did previously so he can go by her side to protect her.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted. The red eyes of his mask make him come off as sinister and untrustworthy, but in reality, it's the "Jedi" who answered his call that are dangerous.

[[caption-width-right:350:Reading order: Toguro, Homen, Niizo, Roden, Hen Jin, and Hanbei]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyotaTakeuchi, Creator/HinataTadokoro, Creator/KazuyaNakai, Creator/DaisukeHirakawa, Creator/JinUrayama (Japanese), Creator/KyleMcCarley, Creator/PatrickSeitz, Creator/EvaChristensen, Creator/GregChun, Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas, Creator/AdamSietz (English)
-->"Each of us came here in answer to the same call."
A group of Jedi who answered the margrave's call. [[EvilAllAlong Except not]].
----
* AmbiguousSituation: The fate of the five Jedi they replaced is currently unknown. Juro can sense that they are alive, but whether they are still at large or have been imprisoned by the Sith is unclear.
* BigBadEnsemble: The main antagonists of "The Ninth Jedi" attempt to stop Juro from restoring the Jedi Order, and are responsible for sending the hunters that took Kara's father.
* TheBrute: Homen is the most physically imposing of the Sith acolytes, and outlasts the others. After returning to the light, he becomes TheBigGuy of Juro's group.
* EvilAllAlong: Though none of them give any indication of being Sith at first, once they each activate their lightsabers and the blades are shown to be red, their allegiance is mostly no longer in doubt. It turns out only two of the Force users that responded to Juro's summons are actually Jedi, the rest having been subjected to KillAndReplace.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being Sith, the group has a sense of comradeship with each other; after Hanbei is struck down by Juro, an angered Roden leads the charge against the Margrave, and Roden is also horrified when he sees Niizo has been slain.
* EvilOldFolks: Hanbei is an older man, though still a Sith.
* FlockOfWolves: TheReveal in the episode is that, rather than being a group of Jedi that was at worst infiltrated by one or two Sith assassins, as one would expect, they are ''all'' Sith.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Niizo is a blue-skinned humanoid alien, likely a Pantoran.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Hanbei is horizontally sliced in half by the Margrave.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Homen is one of the few of the group that came to the temple that is actually a Jedi, and was sent by Juro to spy on the Sith. While he fights against Ethan, Kara, and Juro, it's only because the combined power of the dark side from the acolytes overwhelmed him, and he snaps out of it once the impostors are defeated. Fittingly, while his lightsaber starts off red like the others, it changes to purple as the fight continues.
* KickTheDog: They cruelly mock Kara over the fact they have taken her father.
* KillAndReplace: Downplayed. They are Sith acolytes who have answered the margrave's call in the place of Jedi, but the Jedi they replaced are still alive, though missing in action.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: To maintain his cover, Roden passes the lightsaber he gets from Juro to Ethan. If he hadn't, or if one of the other Sith had asked to see it afterward, Ethan wouldn't have stood a chance against the acolytes in the ensuing battle.
* ReligiousRobot: Toguro appears to be a droid, though it could be some kind of cybernetics since we don't see their full body.
* ShipTease: Niizo calls out Roden's name when she sees him struggling against the Margrave, and Roden becomes upset at the deaths of his comrades at the hands of the Margrave, which is represented when he sees Niizo dead on the floor.
* ShockAndAwe: Roden throws some lightning at the margrave, and it's the only attack that visibly throws Juro off his game.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Niizo is the only woman in the group.
* StarterVillain: They are the first Sith foes faced by Juro and his Jedi, and are taken down rather easily. As Hanbei says, they are just acolytes and not true Sith Lords.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Homen. He actually is a Jedi, sent in as a spy to weed out the acolytes, but their combined connection to the dark side nearly corrupted him, hence his lightsaber initially being red. As the fight goes on though, he manages to break free and returns to being a Jedi once the acolytes are dead.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about them without revealing that they're actually Sith.
* WhamShot: They've just received the lightsabers Kara risked life and limb to deliver, igniting them for the first time... and except for Ethan's, [[EvilAllAlong every blade is red.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: They have no problems trying to kill Kara.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"I am a Jedi!"'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasakoNozawa (Japanese), Jaden Waldman (English)
A unique droid created by Professor Mitaka, though rather than assist his creator, he'd rather play Jedi.
----
* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: He can rotate his limbs and torso a full 360 degrees without trouble.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's left vague if he's Force-sensitive or not. He acts the part of a Jedi, but he never performs any actual Force powers, and his vision could be a pre-programmed memory.
* AstroClone: T0-B1 is a clear homage to Anime/AstroBoy, with his name being derived from Tobio and having his distinct hair spike.
* BecomeARealBoy: According to the plot synopsis, Tobi wants to be a Jedi, even though as far as we know, droids can't be Force-sensitive (in the current canon, anyways…) because they're not living beings.
* LiteralMinded: When his search of Tatooine turns up nothing for finding a kyber crystal, Mitaka instructs him to use the Force... and T0-B1, not knowing what the Force is, spends time looking for THAT instead.
* MeaningfulName: Besides the PunnyName, Tobi(o) was the name of Professor Tenma's dead son, who he based Manga/AstroBoy off of.
* MythologyGag: His PunnyName for Obi-Wan may be a reference to pre-Prequel Trilogy theories that Obi-Wan was a clone due to his name resembling the LeetSpeak spelling used to designate droids (the name "Obi-Wan" being formed from "[=OB1=]").
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: After discovering Mitaka's spaceship, Tobi tries to use it to contact any Jedi out in the galaxy and ends up drawing the Inquisitor to their home, resulting in Mitaka's death.
* PunnyName:
** T… Obi-Wan.
** His name can also be read as "to be one". The Jedi are his heroes, and he'd like...to be one.
** The studio behind ''T0-B1'' is called Science SARU. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarutobi_Sasuke Sarutobi Sasuke]] is a famous ninja from Japanese folktales.
** Finally, if you read 1 as "ih", it becomes "To be", as in "[[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} or not to be]]".
* ReligiousRobot: Well, a robot who believes in the Force, at least. He wishes to be a Jedi, though it's left [[AmbiguousSituation ambiguous]] if he's actually Force-sensitive or not.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Playing as a Jedi in Mitaka's old ship unintentionally caused his playful "calling all Jedi" to be picked up by a passing inquisitor, who decided to investigate.

The creator of T0-B1.
----
* GenocideSurvivor: He's an Order 66 survivor, and handles the trauma by dedicating himself to non-Jedi pursuits while still passing on his teachings.
* HandicappedBadass: He has no arms during the short, yet is secretly training T0-B1 for most of it before his death. He's even able to use Force-powers without said arms!
* KilledOffscreen: His death is not shown. He orders T0-B1 to hide from the Inquisitor; when he leaves his hiding spot, his lab has been ransacked and he's already in a grave.
* LikeASonToMe: He refers to his creations as "my children".
* MeaningfulName: The city of Mitaka is home to the [[Creator/StudioGhibli Ghibli Museum]].
* MentorOccupationalHazard: He is killed by the Inquisitor, forcing T0-B1 to step up.
* OldMaster: He's blatantly past his prime and lacks his arms, but is skilled enough with the force to lift several heavy objects without them. It's {{downplayed|Trope}}, however, since we never see him in combat.
* RetiredBadass: He's an ex-Jedi who survived Order 66.

* BigBad: Of "T0-B1". He's on the hunt for survivors of Order 66, is responsible for the death of Professor Mitaka, and later returns to finish the job with T0-B1.
* BlackKnight: According to animator Takufumi Hori, the Inquisitor is meant to visually invoke this trope, with his armor being designed to look like a medieval knight's.
* DueToTheDead: Since there was no one else around, it can be assumed that the Inquisitor had enough respect for Mitaka to construct him a burial mound.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: As horribly ruthless as the Inquisitor is, he still gave Mitaka a proper burial rather than desecrating the latter's corpse.
* HeroKiller: He killed Mitaka and devastated the laboratory during his first attack. His second attack has him destroy even more droids, and he nearly kills T0-B1 in their duel before T0-B1 turns it around.
* NoNameGiven: Never referred to by any name beyond "The Inquisitor", not even receiving a number like other Inquisitors in the canon.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakayaHashi (Japanese), Creator/DavidHarbour (English)
The master of Dan G'vash.
----
* BadassTeacher: He's Dan's master and an exceptional fighter in combat.
* CombatPragmatist: He duels to win, not to show off. He grabs the elder's hand to disarm him, then destroys his lightsaber. He also uses the (somewhat obscure) lightsaber technique Tràkata to get under his enemy's guard by switching off the lightsaber, then turning it on for the killing strike.
* DentedIron: Part of the reason Tajin struggles in his duel with the Elder is because he too is starting to feel the effects of age. A big part of the reason he manages to win against the Elder at all is that the Elder is even older and more dented than he is. Tajin admits to Dan afterward that he'll continue to grow weaker as Dan, still young and vital, grows stronger.
* DrunkWithPower: Defied. While he does think that power is useful because it could be used to help those without it, he recognizes its impermanence and acquiesced pride in his abilities because he knew that they would one day wane.
* EmeraldPower: His lightsaber is green, and he's far more skilled than his BlueIsHeroic apprentice. For now, at least. He admits that Dan will surpass him in time.
* OldMaster: While not on The Elder's level yet, he's a decently aged Jedi with decades of experience honing his skills with both the Force and a lightsaber. Just like the Elder, it's {{deconstructed|Trope}} because he's not as capable of exerting his power as he was in his prime, with the only reason he won being that the Elder was even more ravaged by time. He chooses to lead into the "master" part more heavily by imparting his youthful and still-growing Padawan Dan with knowledge and experience so that he too can become a master with time.
* PassingTheTorch: What he wants to do to Dan, but fate seems to be intervening.
* PermaStubble: Goes well with his traveling lifestyle when compared to other Jedi of his time.
* TheStoic: He emotes very little in the short, only showing terror when he senses Dan being wounded.
* WorthyOpponent: Is regarded as such by the Elder himself, who said that he's been waiting a long time to fight someone who's almost as skilled as the Elder in his prime.

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Subverted. He doesn't die but gets wounded, and is even seen limping at the end of the short.
* BlueIsHeroic: His lightsaber is blue and he's a heroic, albeit eager, Jedi Padawan.
* FriendToAllChildren: He's shown to be good with children, quickly befriending the local children of an isolated village.
* HotBlooded: He's very eager to take the fight to the Sith to test his skills in battle. He learns the hard way that he's out of his depth when the Elder ambushes and almost kills him.
* NotQuiteDead: The Elder forgot to MakeSureHesDead before challenging Tajin, and that proved to be part of his downfall.

----
* AntagonistTitle: He's the titular villain of "The Elder".
* BigBad: Of "The Elder".
* BlackEyesOfEvil: When he opens his eyes, they're shown to be mostly black with [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness yellow pupils]].
* BloodKnight: His one definitive goal is finding a strong opponent to fight against, lamenting that the local wildlife and Dan were insufficient for his desires. When he meets Tajin, he laments that they couldn't have fought when he was in his prime.
* DefectorFromDecadence: His dialogue with Dan implies that he left the Sith Order because he's tired of their inherent backstabbing ways, believing it only made them neglect their destiny.
* DentedIron: He may be a skilled lightsaber combatant, but he's still an old man and no longer in his prime. As a result, he goes down fairly quickly when he duels the much younger Tajin.
* DoNotGoGentle: He is overjoyed to meet Tajin, as he can go out in a fight against a strong opponent.
* DualWielding: Wields two red lightsabers that take the shape of katanas.
* EvilCounterpart: His old age, small stature, and surprisingly acrobatic fighting style make him come off as a villainous version of Yoda. James Hong's vocal performance and a few bits of odd sentence structure make him sound like Yoda, too.
* EvilOldFolks: He's called the Elder for a reason and is certainly a nasty customer. Ultimately, the "old" part becomes his downfall, as his skill has weakened over what is implied to have been centuries.
* MysteriousPast: Who exactly is this guy and what's his deal? Well... [[RiddleForTheAges only he knows]].
* NoNameGiven: They never even know his name.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: His body turns into ash after being fatally injured by Tajin.
* OldMaster: As the titular Elder, he's a villainous example, being an elderly dark side warrior with incredible skill in lightsaber combat. That said, it's {{deconstructed|Trope}} by how his age has taken a great toll on his physical ability, and it ultimately causes him to lose the battle.
* ShockAndAwe: His use of Force lightning makes it clear beyond any doubt to Tajin that this guy is a darksider.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His eyes are a deep yellow color with a black sclera to boot, a universal sign of a Sith who has mastery over the dark side.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Let's see. An ObviouslyEvil [[EvilOldFolks senior citizen]] with clear ties to the dark side [[EvilMakesYouUgly ravaging his body]], enacts his plans prior to the [[Film/StarWarsEpisodeIThePhantomMenace Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo]], [[EvilLaughter and likes to laugh like a supervillain]]? He's clearly one of Palpatine.
* VillainousBreakdown: After spending most of the short calmly enjoying combat, he becomes noticeably more unhinged and desperate once Tajin quickly takes out one of his lightsabers. While he says nothing, he starts visibly shaking with a manic expression on his face as he throws Force lightning, foregoing all pretense of not still being connected to the Dark Side.
* ZeroEffortBoss: For all his build-up, Tajin ultimately makes short work of him. {{Justified|Trope}} by Tajin as he notes that this was thanks more to the Elder's advanced age; had he been in his prime, things would have ended MUCH differently.

* EtTuBrute: She's in tears when her adoptive sister Ochō decides to side with the Empire over her own family. Despite this, however, Lop still holds on to the hope that she will one day bring her sister back into the light so they can all be a family again.
* HappilyAdopted: She was saved from a life of slavery and subsequently adopted by Yasaburo as a daughter under the insistence of Ochō who wanted Lop as a younger sister. It's clear Lop loves both her adoptive father and sister as if they were really her own which is why Ochō's betrayal hurts her so much.
* InfraredXRayCamera: Her side glass, a [[Franchise/DragonBall scouter-like lens]], allows her to detect heat signatures when activated.
* MeaningfulName: ''Nora'' in Japanese can be written as 野良, used as a prefix to describe something as "stray", such as a 野良犬 (''norainu''), a stray dog. In this case, because うさ (''usa'') is short for うさぎ (''usagi,'' meaning "rabbit"), Lop's surname could be spelled as 野良うさ, meaning "stray rabbit".

* AntagonisticOffspring: Due to their differences in ideology regarding how to protect their family and people from the Empire, Ochō eventually becomes an enemy to her own father Yasaburo after she decides to side with the Empire.
* BigBadSlippage: Initially Lop's supportive sister, she later becomes the main antagonist of "Lop and Ochō", as her support of the Empire brings her into conflict with her family.
* CainAndAbel: Eventually becomes the Cain to her adopted sister Lop's Abel after she joins the Empire, much to the latter's dismay.
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: She initially reasons siding with the Empire as being in the best interests of their planet, but by the end of the short, she's become a cold imperialist who's completely forgotten all familial ties in her pursuit of progress.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: After her FaceHeelTurn, she cuts her hair, uses her own blood for eyeshadow, and ditches her Japanese-style outfit for an Imperial officer's uniform.
* FaceHeelTurn: She is introduced as a sweet little girl, but seven years down the line she has sworn allegiance to the Empire.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She claims the right to hold the family weapon because she's family, which is quite rich seeing as she went against her family's wishes and effectively disowned them by joining the Empire.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: She tries to justify joining the Empire by saying that it's the only way their family and the people of Tao can survive, as the Imperial Officer had threatened earlier that he will take extreme action against them if she couldn't stop Yasaburo from attacking Imperial property.
* ImportantHaircut: As an adult, she originally wears her hair in a long braided ponytail. After she joins the Empire she cuts it off at the base, symbolizing her defection from her father.
* MissingMom: Her mother is neither present nor mentioned.
* ThickerThanWater: Despite loving Lop as a sister when they first meet and for years before the second part of the short, she balks at her father giving Lop the family's ancestral lightsaber, claiming that because she is Yasaburo's biological daughter that the honor should have gone to her.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Was the one who insisted that they should adopt Lop. Skip a few years later, and she's become an avid supporter of the Empire and denounces Lop as her sister.

* FightsLikeANormal: Despite having been trained with a lightsaber and seemingly using the Force to show Lop the family history, he fights only with physical prowess.
* LikeADaughterToMe: While he initially was reluctant to adopt Lop, by the time she grew into a young woman, Yasaburo came to view her as kin, no different than Ochō, hence his decision to entrust the clan and their ancestral lightsaber to Lop after Ochō joins the Empire.
* ParentsAsPeople: He doesn’t always get along with his daughter Ochō due to their disagreements on what is best for their home, but it’s clear he loves her, even after she betrays him. He also initially shows favoritism towards his blood daughter and didn’t give Lop as much attention, but he apologizes for this and comes to see Lop as kin by the end.
* RebelLeader: He becomes the leader of the resistance forces against the Empire on his planet, which sets him up on a path of conflict against his own daughter Ochō who sees siding with the Empire would be more beneficial to the planet.

[[TheBadGuyWins And he succeeds.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: He's presumably a high-ranking Imperial officer in charge of the occupation of the planet, and he coerces Ochō into joining the Empire by threatening her father and the townspeople with the consequences of Yasaburo's resistance activities. This directly results in Ochō's FaceHeelTurn. However, he isn't the short's primary antagonist. Lop never fights or confronts him, and by the end of the short, his control of the planet remains unquestionable.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: When the [[spoiler:revived]] Misa asks in horror what he just did, Tsubaki quotes this trope verbatim.
* InTheHood: [[spoiler:After Masago drives him to the dark side, he puts his hood up to make himself look more sinister.]]
* MeaningfulName: ''Tsubaki'' is the Japanese name for the camellia flower. In Japan, camellias symbolize a warrior's bad luck, as the petals of a camellia can suddenly wilt and fall all at once. Additionally, the camellia also represents longing, especially with red camellias specifically representing love. Tsubaki is a Jedi Knight, a warrior, who fights for the love of Misa, [[spoiler:and his story ends on a dark note]].
* PermaStubble: To show his older age.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes start to turn a dull blood red [[spoiler:as his vision comes true and he feels the dark side's temptation]].
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Like Anakin Skywalker, he is tormented by visions of someone's death, and strives to find a way to [[ScrewDestiny stop it from happening]], [[spoiler:[[YouCantFightFate only for it to come to pass anyway]] by [[SelfFulfillingProphecy his own hand]]. The Sith Lord who [[TheChessmaster arranged it all]] offers him to join their side as an apprentice in exchange for bringing his lover back to life, but unlike Anakin, Tsubaki succeeds... and abandons Misa.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: As Masago points out, he has talent, but lacks technique. [[spoiler:Perfect for someone looking for an apprentice.]]

[[caption-width-right:317:''"What did you do, Tsubaki?"'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Lynn}} (Japanese), Creator/JamieChung (English)
A princess of a local planet, recently ousted from power by her Sith aunt, Masago.
----
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Masago revives her in exchange for Tsubaki joining her.]]
* CompositeCharacter: Of both Princess Leia and her mother Padmé Amidala. Like Leia, she's a badass princess who's leading an underground resistance against an evil Empire, and she is hunted by a Sith Lord who's actually her family member. Like Padmé, she's in a relationship with a Jedi, who tries to do everything in his power to keep her from harm, [[spoiler:even joining the dark side of the Force to save her from death]].
* ShoutOut: She is likely named after Misa Uehara, the actress for Princess Yuki from Creator/AkiraKurosawa's ''Film/TheHiddenFortress''. The film was one of George Lucas's inspirations for ''Star Wars''.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"There is nothing that has not been fated."'']]

A Sith Lord and the sister of the king, Misa's father.
----
* TheBadGuyWins: Notably the first ''Visions'' villain to achieve total victory over the heroes. [[spoiler:She thwarts Tsubaki and Misa's coup against her, corrupts Tsubaki into becoming her apprentice, and has Misa imprisoned all while remaining in power by the end of the short.]]
* BigBad: The main antagonist of "Akakiri", being the target of Tsubaki and Misa after she usurped the throne.
* BrawnHilda: A powerfully built and blunt-faced woman, though unlike other examples she's a straight villain and not comedic whatsoever.
* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:The whole short seems to have been a bid to bring Tsubaki to the Sith, which she succeeds at.]]
* EvilAunt: She's Misa's maternal aunt, she's an active Sith Lord, and she has overthrown her niece to take power on her planet.
* {{Gonk}}: Along with ScaryBlackWoman, Masago is drawn to look more muscular, in contrast with her niece Misa being drawn to look like a [[RavenHairIvorySkin pale-skinned beauty]].
* HannibalLecture: With a dose of an artificial SelfFulfillingProphecy. [[spoiler:Even though Tsubaki's attempts to avoid his fate seem to have brought his descent to the dark side to fruition, his descent was still not inevitable. Instead, it was part of a carefully constructed and executed plan by Masago that included a great deal of psychological manipulation.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: As she goes all-in [[spoiler:trying to corrupt Tsubaki]], her eyes start glowing bright red to highlight how dangerous she is.
* ScaryBlackWoman: Her skin is dark and is drawn as rather monstrous. This is despite being related to the pale-skinned, beautiful Misa.
