* Vader's apprentice Tao from the canonically[[note]] even before the ContinuityReboot[[/note]] "fuzzy" manga story ''Perfect Evil'' may not be as popular as Starkiller, but is generally considered to be an excellently written character who fans wouldn't have minded seeing appear past that comic. His unnamed Jedi companions from the ActionPrologue are also a pretty cooly-drawn group, with several getting Wookiepedia pages very quickly after their debut despite none of them being named.

* BadassAdorable youngling Zett Jukassa, armored Tattooine denizen Rango "Tank Head" Tel, and YoungAndInCharge Queen of Naboo Apailana all only appear in a few seconds of the prequel movies but have large fanbases that are partially attributable to their AllThereInTheManual or expanded universe activities and characterizations (Zett catching the murderer of his parents, Tel being a particularly hapless bounty hunter, and Apailana resisting the Empire).

** Rivi-Annu from "To the Vanishing Point" is a fan favorite among the new Jedi from that series due to being a nervous NewMeat leader who [[spoiler:commits a HeroicSacrifice for her clones that involves using the Force to stop a falling Star Destroyer from crashing into a battlefield until they have time to get clear.]]
** The female Agricultural Corps Jedi in "Graduation Day" is never even named, but is perhaps the best-liked member of her group for her gradual mastery of telekinesis and ability to fight effectively using a farm tool like a lightsaber while working her way up to that point.
** Few fans of the series are likely to forget the unnamed clone trooper at Outpost 473 from "Waiting" after his TheUnfettered efforts to retrieve his stolen armaments in time to stop an approaching Separatist convoy.


Added DiffLines:

* Dark Jedi Artel Darc's only appearance is in the written but unreleased Clone Wars era novel ''Escape from Dagu'', but the amount of interest that project has drawn and the cover art of Darc dueling Shaak Ti have drawn a good deal of interest.

** Sev'rance Tann only appears in the obscure video gameand a few source books, but is often praised as one of the worthiest and most underutilized Separatists in the Clone Wars for being a Chiss military genius who is also a Dark Jedi. She has a decent bit of fan art, fanfiction, and has even inspired the occasional fan costume.

** [[TheRemnant Separatist holdouts]] Atticus Farstar (a FrontlineGeneral who gets a clever BatmanGambit) and Kaddak (a tattooed CulturedWarrior Clone deserter who acts as a HopeBringer to the resistance) only have a handful of lines and scenes between them in ''Darth Vader And the Cry of Shadows'' (and [[spoiler:Farstone]] even [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse vanishes without explanation by the end of the miniseries]]), but both wowed lots of readers to an impressive degree.

** Haunted house proprietor Horville and his assistant Ploob do a lot to make an otherwise basic episode entertaining and memorable.
** Mysterious, powerful, and beautifully-designed PlantPerson sorceress, the Leaf Queen, only makes two appearances but is quite popular.
** Two-headed sorcerer and recluse the Gonster is popular enough that some fans are surprised that he is only in one episode.
** The Stranger gets some credit for being one of the creepiest villains in the show in his one episode.
