* Numa (the Twi'lek girl who appears in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E20InnocentsOfRyloth Innocents of Ryloth]]"), for her roles as both a {{Moe}} and HeartwarmingOrphan, design, being surprisingly helpful to Obi-Wan's team, and having very sweet interactions with Waxer and Boil.

* The [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Battle Droids]], for being very amusing to the point of which it was hard to dislike them.

** Keeli, the Clone Commander under [[MeaningfulName Ima-Gun Di]] on Ryloth.

*** Fives, for his general ClonesArePeopleToo and ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight personality, loyalty towards his brothers, development from an ordinary rookie into an ARC trooper and one of Rex's closest comrades, and role of inspiring others to go against Krell during the Umbara arc. As a result, he ultimately receives ADayInTheLimelight as the main character of the Order 66 arc. Said story arc increased his popularity even further, due to him nearly managing to prevent Order 66 and expose Palpatine's true nature, and [[spoiler:his death at end of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E4Orders Orders]]" is considered one of the saddest scenes in the series]].

** Wolffe and his Wolfpack, not only do these clones have a great designs, with Wolffe serving as the NumberTwo to another darkhorse Plo Koon, Wolffe in particular was one of the few clones that removed his control chip and would later join Rex and Gregor in helping the Rebel Alliance in ''Rebels''.

Honda even [[BadassBoast snarks]] at the Sith, how can we not like him?

* Admiral Trench, for being a clever tactician that was dangerous enough to necessitate a Jedi-led task force just to defeat him in the backstory of ''The Clone Wars''. [[spoiler:His reception among the fans was likely what led the writers to bring him back in the sixth and seventh seasons of the series]].

** Waxer and Boil, for their snarky SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan friendship and designs as well as the fact that they help Numa during the Ryloth arc.

** Cut Lawquane, the Clone deserter who [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandoned the war effort]] to [[ActionDad start a family]], only appears in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E10TheDeserter The Deserter]]", but he is very well-remembered and received an indirect mention in ''[[Literature/StarWarsAftermath Aftermath]]''.

* The [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Battle Droids]], for being very amusing to the point of which it is hard to dislike them.

* [[RobotBuddy AZI-3]], who is introduced during the Order 66 arc, for bringing some much-needed humor to an otherwise dark story arc, showing more of a moral compass than the Kaminoans, and generally being very helpful to Fives throughout the story arc.

** Embo, since he has acrobatics that would make a Jedi jealous along with a NiceHat that serves as a blaster-proof shield ''and'' as a PrecisionGuidedBoomerang in addition to the fact that he took on Savage Opress and survived (although, it was partly because Maul let him and the others go because they were [[PunchClockVillain bounty hunters]] and not their true adversaries). 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 members of Domino Squad earned plenty of fans in their [[BreakoutCharacter breakout appearance]] in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E5Rookies Rookies]]", which led to them receiving an OriginsEpisode called "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E1CloneCadets Clone Cadets]]" in addition to having their story continued throughout ''The Clone Wars''.
