** Theron and Lana from the ''Forged Alliances'' and ''Shadow of Revan'' storylines have proved popular with fans. Individually, Theron is liked for being an snarky, attractive BadassNormal, and Lana is liked for being one of the only reasonable Sith in the game. Collectively, they're liked for their superb voice acting, for actually investigating and doing things themselves instead of always relying on the PC, and for having surprisingly good [[RomanceSidequest romance sidequests]] for non-companions (not to mention being romancable [[BiTheWay by both genders]]).

* Tanner and Pauling, the last surviving members of the band of Imperial survivors aboard the shuttle in ''Literature/DeathTroopers'' are somewhat easy to root for despite their groups [[spoiler: cannibalism]], and having maybe five lines of dialogue between them.
* The Noghri Cakhmaim and Meewalh have some pretty good BodyguardingABadass dynamics and characterization over a pretty long run in the series.
* Tusken bounty hunter Sardu Sallowe makes an impression whenever he appears in "The Yavin Vassilka" despite never appearing before or since.
* Vestara Khai provided the female half of the FanPreferredCouple with longtime character Ben Skywalker. [[spoiler: Fans were not happy at the author's decision for her to return to the sith, and the lack of closure this plot line received due to the continuity reboot]].
* ArrogantKungFuGuy Phow Ji from ''Medstar'' is a jerk, no doubt about that, but he's also a well-written jerk whose impressive to watch in a fight.
* Han's first copilot/bodyguard Muurgh from the ''Literature/TheHanSoloTrilogy'' is fun to read, and is a nice {{Foil}} to Chewbacca in several respects.
* Grumpy old man Noa is considered the best part of the ''Film/StarWarsEwokAdventures'' by many despite only appearing midway through the second film. Being played by the quintessential GrumpyOldMan in Creator/WilfordBrimley helped immensely. Mace Towani also gets some credit for his BigBrotherInstinct and character arc.

* From ''Literature/JediApprentice'':
** Jenna Zan Abor, Garen Muln (Obi-Wan's friend form his youngling days), and Astri Oddo would all go on to appear in both of the sequel series and receive further plot relevance and characterization there.
** Guerra Derida sets the mold for the many LovableRogue types that Watson later uses in her books, with his popularity increasing during his second appearance, due to his ThoseTwoGuys /SiblingTeam dynamic with his brother Paxxi.
** Cerasi and Nield from the Melida/Daan stories are quite interesting ActualPacifist heroes who add richness to the series first real WhamEpisode.
** Manex from the New Apsolon Trilogy is well-liked for being a very well-developed and richly characterized RedHerring, as we'll as an interesting subversion of the CorruptCorporateExecutive the readers (and the characters) had been expecting when they first meet him.
* Fy-Tor-Ana and Keets Freely are among the more liked character from ''Literature/TheLastOfTheJedi''.

** Try an experiment: Go to Fanfiction.net's Star Wars Game section, and try to look up stories about characters from The Old Republic, as opposed to Knights of the Old Republic I or II. Which SWTOR character has the most fanfics about them, after trying all the options? Corso Riggs, the romance option for a female Smuggler. To give you an idea, Corso Riggs has three pages of fanfiction written about him, while none of the other romance options go past ''one'' page, if they have anything written about them at all. Apparently Bioware really hit it out of the ballpark with Corso Riggs.
*** ArchiveOfOurOwn writers are just as fond of Vector Hyllus. Many a fanfic writer on that board would not mind marrying the entire nest.

** Thana Vesh. A character whom the Imperial Taris planet questline is somewhat centered around, and is both a GreenEyedMonster and an AlphaBitch who absolutely hates having her master, Darth Gravus, consider you to be better than her. She has several flirt options with male characters that are pure BelligerentSexualTension. You would expect her to be considered TheScrappy on account of her arrogance, StupidEvil tendencies, and the unconsummated nature of her 'romance'. Instead, she's become so popular despite her relatively minor role that she has '''six different petitions''' (one of which has hundreds of signatures) on the official website demanding she become a ([[EvilIsSexy romanceable]]) companion. BioWare is apparently aware of her popularity, as they made her armor available to players in the form of a Cartel Pack outfit.

** Ashara, for the Sith Inquisitor, especially for Light Sided players, due to her rationality.
** Lord Praven, a NobleDemon Sith Lord the Jedi Knight encounters who has a profound sense of honor and fairness. He spares a group of civilians instead of killing them ForTheLulz like most Sith, offers a one-on-one duel instead of ambushing you, and [[spoiler:can be redeemed to the Light side.]] [[spoiler:If that happens, he pulls a BigDamnHeroes during Corellia and is still very much a {{Badass}}]]. More than a few players wish he could be a companion.
** Theron and Lana from the ''Forged Alliances'' and ''Shadow of Revan'' storylines have proved popular with fans. Individually, Theron is liked for being an snarky, attractive BadassNormal, and Lana is liked for being one of the only reasonable Sith in the game. Collectively, they're liked for their superb voice acting, for actually investigating and doing things themselves instead of always relying on the PC, and for having surprisingly good [[RomanceSidequest romance sidequests]] for non-companions.
