* The [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots battle droids]] are so funny that it's really hard to dislike them. Linked to them are the commando droids, who quickly became popular with fans for being the battle droids only ''completely fricking badass''. Same with the Super Tactical droids, who are like the battle droids only cold, calculating intimidating generals.

* A few of the one-arc villains are also quite popular. Riff Tamson and Osi Sobeck are two good examples.

** Captain Rex is very popular for being a clone Jango more than the others with his [[GunsAkimbo twin pistols]], his [[ServileSnarker good snark]], his [[NumberTwo bond with Anakin Skywalker]] and the [[CharacterDevelopment amount of moral choices]] he has throughout the series. [[spoiler: His popularity led to his return in ''Rebels'', where he ended up doing the FandomSpecificPlot of being disloyal to the Empire and teaming up with the Rebels and Ahsoka]].

* Asajj Ventress (especially as of the Nightsisters arc), for being one of the most developed characters in the show.
* The Ones (the Father, the Son, and the Daughter) from the Mortis trilogy. Despite only appearing in three episodes, they are among the most memorable characters in the series. [[spoiler: They even got a cameo as a mural in one of the final episodes of ''Rebels''.]]

** Many of the other Jedi featured in The Clone Wars (Ki-Adi Mundi, Even Piell, Aayla Secura, Luminara Unduli, Quinlan Vos, etc) are also popular with fans for their expanded roles.

* Plo Koon was this to supervising director Creator/DaveFiloni, and his AscendedExtra role in ''The Clone Wars'' made him one in the eyes of the fans, too.
* Kit Fisto is very popular with the fans due to his laid-back personality, design, Jamaican accent, and [[Creator/PhilLaMarr voice]] as a result of receiving an expanded role.
* Just like the two above-mentioned members of the Jedi order, many of the other Jedi featured in ''The Clone Wars'' (Ki-Adi Mundi, Even Piell, Aayla Secura, Luminara Unduli, Quinlan Vos, etc) are extremely popular with the fans as a result of them also being fleshed out and receiving AscendedExtra roles.
* Many of the [[BadassNormal Clone Troopers]] are well-liked by the fans, particularly Rex, Fives, Hevy, Echo, among others. Dogma in particular is quite popular despite only appearing in the Umbara arc and serving as an antagonist for most of it.
* Regardless of how [[spoiler:she gets later on]], no one can dispute the fact that ''The Clone Wars'' brought Barriss Offee into the fandom's eyes and increased her popularity in a similar way to Plo Koon (along with Kit Fisto and the other Jedi).
* Jedi Master and FourStarBadass [[MeaningfulName Ima-Gun]] [[StealthPun Di]] and his loyal NumberTwo Captain Keeli are quite fondly remembered despite only appearing in a single episode.
* Cad Bane is one of the most popular characters in ''The Clone Wars'', as a mix of Jango Fett and Creator/LeeVanCleef with a cool voice, unusually sinister tendencies, and characteristics of spaghetti-western villains.

* The mercenary Embo from "Bounty Hunters" was a OneSceneWonder with acrobatics to make a Jedi jealous, a NiceHat that serves as a blaster-proof shield ''and'' as a PrecisionGuidedBoomerang. He even took on Darth Maul and survived, though it was partly because Maul let he and the others go, because they were [[PunchClockVillain bounty hunters]] and not their true adversaries. Despite being a relatively minor character in one of the less important episodes of the series, he's popular enough that he got his own action figure and at least one appearance per season afterwards. Likewise, his [[CanineCompanion anooba]] Marrok is also pretty popular for not only giving Embo a badass pet, but also [[BadassAdorable having an adorable personality outside of battle]].

* The Zillo Beast has an impressive following for an animal, though anything that can tell Palpatine is evil and tries to do something about it earns our respect.
* Riyo Chuchi didn't show up often, but her being a golden eyed BlueSkinnedSpaceBabe with a South African accent and played by Creator/JenniferHale made her stand out from the crowd. And yes, she's often shipped with Ahsoka.
* Cut Lawquane, the Clone deserter who abandoned the war effort to [[ActionDad start a family]], only appeared once but is very well remembered, and even got an indirect mention in ''[[Literature/StarWarsAftermath Aftermath]]''.
* Numa the Twi'lek girl from “[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E20InnocentsOfRyloth Innocents of Ryloth]]”, is very popular for being a {{Moe}} and a HeartwarmingOrphan, despite only showing up in one episode. She's even pictured in the Hearthwarming entry.

* Many of the [[BadassNormal Clone Troopers]] are well-liked by the fans, particularly Rex, Fives, Hevy, Echo, among others.

* Darth Maul's large popularity with fans is one of the reasons why he is still alive.
* Savage Opress is quite popular too. The fact that he's Darth Maul's brother helps.

* Kit Fisto is very popular with the fans as a result of receiving an AscendedExtra role and being fleshed out as well.

* Plo Koon was this to supervising director Creator/DaveFiloni, and his AscendedExtra role in the series made him one in the eyes of the fans, too.

* Cad Bane is one of the most popular characters in the series, as a mix of Jango Fett and Creator/LeeVanCleef with a cool voice, unusually sinister tendencies, and characteristics of spaghetti-western villains.

* Admiral Trench, due to being a clever tactician dangerous enough to necessitate a Jedi-led task force just to defeat him in the series' backstory. [[spoiler:His status as one of these is likely what led the writers to bring him back for the post-series stories]].

** Hondo Ohnaka became one too. Cranked UpToEleven in "Revival". And then even more so after "A Necessary Bond." The man snarks at the Sith, how can we not like him?
