!!Tusken Raiders
->Appear in Ep. I-II-IV.
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TRaider_5787.jpg]]

Also known as Sand People. Nomadic, primitive humanoid sentients indigenous to Tatooine, where they are often hostile to local settlers.
----
* AbsoluteXenophobe: ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' expands a bit on this. Once you manage to talk with one of the tribes, it seems like hatred of all other races is a fundamental aspect of Sand People culture, and one of the main reasons why they are all so violent and unwilling to negotiate with outsiders.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The ''only'' instance of them ''not'' being completely murderous bastards was in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic 1'', and that tribe was pretty brutal until Revan convinced them to make peace with the settlers. In every other instance though, Tusken Raiders are, to the man, unrepentant murderers and monsters.
** Played with: Anakin's slaughter of the Tusken tribe in Episode II (including the women and children) is still portrayed negatively.

* BruiserWithASoftCenter[=/=]EveryoneHasStandards: Some of them--one of the Jedi in ''Literature/NewJediOrder'' was an orphaned farm girl raised by Tuskens.
* {{Dirty Coward}}s
* TheFaceless
* HorseOfADifferentColor: They use banthas as mounts.
* MalevolentMaskedMen
* OralTradition: This is how the Sand People have kept their history since ancient times. Interestingly, their oral tradition differs from most in that to prevent inaccuracies in its telling between generations, incorrect recitation of the oral history is punishable by death, and the keeper of the histories known as the Storyteller, is raised from birth for the sole purpose of memorizing the Oral Tradition exactly from the previous Storyteller.
* PoisonedWeapons
* RapePillageAndBurn: Their culture in a nutshell.
* [[TheUnintelligible The Unintelligibles]][=/=]StarfishLanguage: Their language is made of growls and grunts. It sounds like donkey brayings.
* WeaponOfChoice: The Gaderfii, or the Gaffi Stick. Each one is unique to each warrior, since they are custom built from whatever salvage the Sand People can find at hand.

* SchizoTech: The WeaponOfChoice of the Wookies is the Bowcaster, which is essentially a laser crossbow.
* SlaveRace: The Empire enslaved them after Order 66.
** Furthermore, Wookies are also well known for their rigid dedication to a tradition known as "Life Debt," which dictates that if someone saves a Wookie's life, the Wookie must serve and protect that person with undying loyalty for the rest of his life. Chewbacca for example, began following Han Solo around because he owes a Life Debt to Solo.

!Bounty Hunters

[[folder: Boba Fett]]
!!Boba Fett
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fett_boba_2952.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Jeremy Bulloch (suit, Ep.V-VI); Daniel Logan (child, Ep.II), Temuera Morrison (Special Edition, Ep.V-VI); Jason Wingreen (original voice, Ep.V-VI)

One of the poster children of TooCoolToLive, Fett is a Mandalorian. He was introduced in ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'' but was too cool to stay there, which is saying something considering that the Holiday Special is practically the incarnation of DorkAge. Once entrenched in canon, he played a minor role in Episode V as the man who succeeds in capturing Han Solo for Vader and/or Jabba the Hutt; while he's later defeated by Solo and eaten by the Sarlacc, his [[strike:awesome armor and inscrutable demeanor]] PopularityPower makes him manly enough to fight his way out, allowing him to (again) play a major role in the EU. He also appears in Episode II as a child, specifically a clone of Jango Fett being raised by the man as his son; Jango's death in that film is Boba's StartOfDarkness.

[[WordOfGod According to]] Creator/GeorgeLucas, [[http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2avk5i/hi_reddit_jonathan_rinzler_star_wars_scholar_and/ciz7w38?context=3 he didn't die in the Sarlaac pit and escaped from the beast]].
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Fett's role in V & VI consists of missing every shot, and getting knocked into the Sarlacc pit by a blind man. The EU has gone on to make him the best bounty hunter in the galaxy, and a guy who can supposedly throw down with the likes of Darth Vader.
* [[AlasPoorYorick Alas, Poor Jango]]: He picks up his (sort of) father's helmet in Episode II after he's decapitated.
* AntiVillain: As a child, he's bad, but it's hard not to sympathize with him considering how much of a good parent [[AffablyEvil Jango Fett]] turned out to be, and that he was murdered before the poor kid's eyes.
* {{Badass}}: Y'know that Sarlacc pit he was knocked into?, he climbed out according to the EU.
** BadassNormal: After all, name another non-Jedi who can take a confrontational tone with Darth Vader like he did at Cloud City, and ''live''!
* BastardUnderstudy: To his father, Jango. The emphasis is on understudy in this case.
* BountyHunter: According to the EU, Fett got his two best bounties ever by capturing Solo once. Vader paid him for the capture in Cloud City, and released the body to Fett, who took it to Jabba and got paid again for "art, made out of Solo, crafted by the hand of Lord Vader".
* BreakoutCharacter: Boba Fett became so popular, that a decent chunk of the prequel trilogy's second film was dedicated to his own coming of story. His father became the sole genetic basis for the Grand Army of the Republic, one of the single most influential factions in the entire Star Wars saga. He was popular enough that he was even digitally added into a restored scene of A New Hope when Lucas released the Special Editions of the original trilogy.
* CanonImmigrant: His first appearance was in ''The Star Wars Holiday Special'', but his first appearance in a canonical story is in ''The Empire Strikes Back''.
* CharacterisationMarchesOn: In Episodes V and VI and their respective novelisations, Fett is portrayed as an amoral PsychoForHire who gets off on disintegrating or scalping his victims. The later EU tends to portray him as a KnightTemplar or even a full-on NobleDemon.
* ConsummateProfessional
* CoolHelmet
* CoolStarship: The ''Slave I''.
* TheDeterminator: In the ExpandedUniverse. He fought out the Sarlacc's belly through sheer force and iron will. The Sarlacc itself admits that he's hardcore some years later.
* TheDragon: To Darth Vader in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' and Jabba the Hutt in ''Return Of The Jedi''.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He originally went out like a punk, being hit in his jet pack by a blinded Han Solo before crashing into Jabba's Sail Barge and being eaten by the Sarlaac. Thankfully subverted, as George Lucas mentioned above, as he made his way out eventually.
* EnfanteTerrible --> TeensAreMonsters: Was a trained killer at ten and an assassin for hire by his early teens.
* EnigmaticMinion: To Vader and Jabba in the films, where his motivations (beyond money) and character remain unexplored, but his appearance makes him stand out.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He deliberately gave up on a chance to kill Starkiller at a moment when he was vulnerable because he was having a romantic reunion with Juno Eclipse, because he felt doing that would "not have felt right." He even follows a strict code of honor in regards to his missions.
* EvilSoundsDeep: When voiced by Jason Wingreen.
* TheFaceless: In the films.
* FreudianExcuse: Witnessing his father's beheading did bad things to Boba's ideas of who the heroes and villains are.
* GenerationXerox: Justified. He's a clone.
* HiredGuns
* InformedAbility: Boba's status as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy is pretty iffy in the films (either that, or the galaxy's bounty hunters all suck). The EU does a better job of justifying his title.
* JetPack
* KnightTemplar: Later materials have him believing the Empire is a lawful government and believing that he is bringing justice to criminals. Which begs the question of "why does Jabba have you on retainer?"
* LegacyCharacter: In two ways.
** Before the prequels, TheBookOfTheFilm stated that Boba Fett's ImpossiblyCoolClothes were Mandalorean battle armor. It mentioned in passing that the Mandaloreans were a ProudWarriorRace that had been eliminated by the Jedi Order: the implication was that Boba Fett either ''was'' one of the last Mandaloreans or had acquired the armor in some OffscreenMomentOfAwesome.
** The prequels made him more clearly and directly a LegacyCharacter with the introduction of his parent Jango Fett.
* MalevolentMaskedMan
* MaskPower
* NobleDemon: In the ExpandedUniverse
* NoodleIncident: ''"No disintegrations."'' The reason for Vader specifying this to Fett has yet to be explained, though it is mentioned in the Creator/DanielKeysMoran short story "The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett".
-->"Vader always said that, after that one time..."
* OnlyInItForTheMoney
* TheOtherMarty: His voice was changed in the classic trilogy's first DVD release. Obviously, this led to InternetBackdraft. Lucasfilms responded by releasing a second set that included the Special Edition (with the new voice) and the Original Theatrical Edition (with the first voice).
* PragmaticVillainy: He does not want his bounty, Han Solo, dead as Jabba will find no use in a dead Han Solo.
* ProfessionalKiller
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: The series of short novels taking place during the Clone Wars is this, showing how Boba [[UsedToBeASweetKid changed from a nice kid]] whose biggest flaw was his respect for his father, to a cold-blooded murderer.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: In the EU, DependingOnTheWriter.
* PsychoForHire: In the novelisations of Episodes V and VI he's depicted this way, as an unsavoury, vicious SOB who likes his job a little too much.
* PunchClockVillain
* TheQuietOne
* StartOfDarkness: Watching Jango get cut down by Mace Windu.
* TheStoic: He has exactly four lines of dialogue in three films.
* StrawCharacter: The way ''Tales Of The Bounty Hunters'' tells it, Boba Fett is one of the extremely conservative variety. He doesn't have a single vice, because he considers them an insult to the flesh. He considers sex between those not married to be immoral - that includes rape, too. When Leia tried offering to pay him to get her and her friends out, he flat out refused, saying that the rebels were morally wrong. Apparently, he supports the Empire because it permits civilization to exist, never mind that it's an empire that commits genocide. He hates Han's guts because Han breaks laws, and Fett finds the idea of breaking laws to be offensive. Never mind that Fett breaks laws by murdering people. He laughs off the Dark Side as Jedi superstition, which becomes hilarious in hindsight, because for all his hatred of Jedi, his lifestyle is much the kind that the Jedi Order would have considered ideal.
* WalkingArmoury: His suit of armour is pretty tricked out to say the least.
* WeaponOfChoice: ''EE-3'' carbine rifle.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Shown to be this in ''AttackOfTheClones'', particularly in the novelization.
* WolverinePublicity
* YouKilledMyFather: He goes after Mace in the preteen novel series. This sends about as badly as you'd expect, given that Mace is only slightly less powerful than Yoda, and Boba's only in his middle teens.

[[folder: IG-88]]
!!IG-88
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ig-88_1381.jpg]]
->Appears in Ep. V.

A ruthless assassin droid, and one of the bounty hunters sent by the Empire to track Han Solo in Episode V. It started placing trackers on all of the bounty hunters' ships that were present and used them to find Solo. Boba Fett was not fooled; he allowed IG-88 to follow him to Bespin, where the droid met its end. IG-88B was left as scrap in the bowels of Cloud City.
----
* BountyHunter
* [[spoiler:DeathByIrony]]: [[spoiler:In his EU origin story he uploads himself into the Death Star II, with the obvious result.]]
* KillerRobot
* MesACrowd: The original IG-88 uploaded its personality into three other identical assassin droids shortly after it was first activated. They all refer to themselves as IG-88A, B, C, and D respectively.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: In its ExpandedUniverse origin story, it was created by Holowan Laboratories. It achieved full sentience immediately after activation, accessed the facility's databases and found what it was and who made it, and decided immediately that it was superior in every way to biologicals. When the lab personnel saw how their creation had GoneHorriblyRight, they decided to shut it off and start over. IG-88 [[KillEmAll disagreed.]] The four IG-88s go out of their way to find and kill anyone connected to the project that created them, as they think that the less the galaxy knows about their inner workings, the better.
* WalkingArmoury: IG-88 has built in blaster cannons in its arms, a concussion grenade launcher in its hip, flechette launcher, needle dart gun, flamethrower, poison gass canisters and an assortment of other grisly attachments on its body.

[[folder: Greedo]]
!!Greedo
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Greedo_8592.jpg]]
->'''Played by:''' Paul Blake (Ep. IV)

A Rodian bounty hunter in the employ of Jabba the Hutt. He confronts Han Solo in the Mos Eisley cantina because of the price on Solo's head. It doesn't end well for him.
----
* BilingualDialogue
* BountyHunter
* ButtMonkey
* ContinuitySnarl: The identity of the child Rodian named Greedo in a deleted scene in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. Originally, it was simple: that was the same Greedo as in ''Film/ANewHope''. But then it was found that this didn't allow his age to sync up with ''Literature/TalesFromTheMosEisleyCantina'', so a {{retcon}} was introduced that the young Rodian was actually Greedo's father with the same name. And that worked, ''until'' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' introduced a young adult Rodian named Greedo who WordOfGod says is the same as both film Greedos. So either Greedo's segment of ''Tales'' has been implicitly consigned to CanonDiscontinuity, or Greedo is somehow now ''older than his own father''.
* TheDogShotFirst
* EvilDebtCollector
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: In the re-releases, in which [[HanShotFirst Han didn't shoot first]]. Given how he opened fire at ''point blank range'' and missed, he could probably ''benefit'' from some time spent at the academy.
* LittleGreenMen: The size of a human though.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"This bounty hunter is [[VillainCred my kind of scum]]: fearless and inventive."'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Larry Ward (Ep. VI)

A very, ''very'' large slug-creature (it took something like 6 puppeteers to control him), leader of a major criminal organization, and the one to whom Han is deeply in debt to after a botched spice run. He was in the script for Episode IV, but it wasn't until VI that technology progressed enough to make him look like anything more than a half-inflated balloon; the Special Edition Ep.IV restores the deleted scenes graced by a [[SerkisFolk completely CGI]] Jabba. Also had a cameo in Episode I.
----
* AdiposeRex
* BadassBoast: "I was killing your kind when being a Jedi actually meant something."
* BadBoss

* MarsNeedsWomen: Despite being a ''hermaphroditic gastropod'', humanoid females seem to be his primary lust objects. (Though, according to A.C. Crispin's Han Solo trilogy, other Hutts who know Jabba consider this to be an unusual and rather distasteful fetish.)
* NonActionBigBad: In ''Return of the Jedi'', though the EU rectifies that somewhat, showing that when no other options are left, Jabba can ''move''.
* PapaWolf: Jabba the Hutt in the Clone Wars movie cared quite a bit for Rotta the Hutt, his son, to the extent that should any of the two factions harm his son in any way, he will ensure they regretted it. His love for his son was apparently strong enough to make him relent and allow Papanoida to make a case against Greedo when he appealed to his love for Rotta to have him help him find his daughters.

* TheGamblingAddict: Often bets on podraces.

[[caption-width-right:250:Left to right: Ben Quadinaros, Gasgano, and Clegg Holdfast.]]

Along with Anakin Skywalker and Sebulba, sixteen other pilots participated in the Boonta Eve Classic of ''The Phantom Menace''. Placing second was Gasgano, with Aldar Beedo, Ebe Endocott, Elan Mak, and Boles Roor also finishing the race, in that order. Competitors who failed to finish included Ben Quadinaros, Mawhonic, Ratts Tyerell, Ody Mandrell, Clegg Holdfast, Mars Guo, Teemto Pagalies, Neva Kee, Dud Bolt, Ark "Bumpy" Roose, and Wan Sandage.
----
* AcademicAthlete: According to ''The New Essential Guide to Characters'', Gasgano cultivates a reputation as an intellectual, though [[BarBrawl his behavior after a few drinks]] can paint a rougher picture.
* BadassDriver: Some more than others (hi, Ben), but as a whole, these pilots are presented as the galaxy's best.
* BigBadassRig: Carried over to Podracer design mentality, Mars Guo, Ratts Tyerell, Aldar Beedo, and Teemto Pagalies are reining in vehicles which definitely qualify.
* BodyguardingABadass: Dud Bolt acts as Sebulba's bodyguard on the track, as if the most feared and celebrated pilot in the galaxy needed the help. Hopefully Bolt's seen better days than the Boonta Eve Classic, where he really drops the ball: he spends almost no time near Sebulba, fails to keep Anakin off the Dug's heels, and crashes in the third lap.
* CoolCar: Again, to varying degrees, but some of these Podracers are cool enough to rival Sebulba's. Aldar Beedo's is a standout for its distinctive patterning and blocky yet sleek shape.
* TheDitz: To say Ark "Bumpy" Roose is profoundly dim-witted would be putting it mildly. The only reason anyone would be likely to favor him as a contender in the Boonta Eve Classic is given by the announcer in ''Episode I Racer'': "He [[{{Determinator}} really]] wants to win!"
* DoubleKnockout: Dud Bolt and Ark "Bumpy" Roose appear to have had a mutually destructive clash, offscreen, in the third lap. Either that, or Bolt unilaterally brought "Bumpy" down but fumbled the KO, leading to his own crash as well.
* TheDragon: Dud Bolt to Sebulba.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: Even though Teemto Pagalies' racer boasts long, sturdy chasses wrapping over the engines, it doesn't seem to be protection enough: one well-aimed shot from a Tusken Raider's rifle and the struck engine goes down in flames.
* GlorySeeker: Ody Mandrell's not in it to take the gold, he flies purely for the thrill of the sport and the attention he gets as a reckless crowd-pleaser.
* InformedAbility: As an Aleena, Ratts Tyerell is touted as possessing incredibly quick reflexes. One wonders why he chooses to [[DistressBall wave his arms and scream for a good two or three seconds]] before crashing into a stalagmite.
* InformedAttractiveness: Both Teemto Pagalies and Wan Sandage are alleged to be quite handsome by their species' standards (Veknoids and Devlikks, respectively). We’ll have to take the writers' word for it on that one.
* IntrepidReporter: Clegg Holdfast doesn't just cover the sport in his profession as journalist for ''Podracing Quarterly'': he's right out there in his own Podracer for a piece of the action.
* JerkJock: The racer equivalent – several pilots besides Sebulba make bids for this trope, but the loudmouthed, boorish Mars Guo takes the cake.
* KilledOffForReal: Only Ratts Tyerell out of all eighteen contestants, despite the Boonta Eve Classic's much-stated lethality.
** Also, years later, [[spoiler:Clegg Holdfast]] in the storyline for the podracing segment of ''Star Wars Kinect''. [[spoiler:Sebulba hires Aldar Beedo to eliminate Holdfast during a race. Beedo gets his man.]] This seems to be dubious canon, though, since it posits the return of fifteen of the eighteen Boonta Eve Classic competitors, all in their exact same vehicles.
* LethalJokeCharacter: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ2lIp37tCA&list=PL586A3E811CB7DE2E One Youtuber]] pulled off seven [=KOs=] on each track of ''Racer Revenge'' using Ben Quadinaros, of all people. [[note]]Okay okay, Ben’s actually pretty good in that game – his highly responsive turning makes up for many ills – but he's significantly outclassed in terms of top speed and defense, two essential attributes for racking up [=KOs=].[[/note]]
* LongBusTrip: Neva Kee swerved off-course and vanished without a trace during the second lap. While some Expanded Universe material has caught up with other pilots, there's never been any hint as to Kee’s fate.
* LoveTriangle: [[TriangRelations Type 3]] between Teemto Pagalies, Mars Guo, and Ann Gella, one of Sebulba's Twi'lek masseuses. Just bad luck, it seems, that they both took an interest in Ann and neither one noticed her twin sister Tann. Not that anything comes of it either way, except bad blood between the pilots: Ann's oblivious to both.
* MadeOfIron: With the sport being as dangerous as it is, some participating species who don't have heightened senses or reflexes can instead claim this -- even if they crash, they can usually scrape through with their tough hides. The Nosaurian pilot Clegg Holdfast is an example.
* {{Muppet}}: Dud Bolt and Mars Guo in the movie.
* NiceHat: Gasgano is simply not complete without that vaguely pith helmet-like racing cap, plus the goggles.
* NobodyCallsMeChicken: Boles Roor wagers five million wupiupi that the harmless-looking Ben Quadinaros won't enter the Boonta Eve Classic. Ben takes the bet, to his immediate regret, but it ends up paying off handsomely for him: that humiliating breakdown at the starting grid didn't invalidate his victory in the bet, and he walks away a richer Toong.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Wan Sandage crashed his racer ''into a Jawa sandcrawler''. Come on, George, we couldn't even get a deleted scene for that?
* PeopleInRubberSuits: Mawhonic alone in the movie. Not incidentally, he's the only pilot belonging to a species familiar from the original trilogy (apart from Anakin). As a Gran, he was realized in much the same way as Ree-Yees from Jabba's palace.
* PettingZooPeople: Neva Kee looks like a grotesque little mutant rabbit (buck teeth included), although his species, Xamster, is actually reptillian. Meanwhile, Aldar Beedo's reedy snout, frilled neck, and tapering body structure are strongly reminiscent of a seahorse.
* ProfessionalKiller: Apart from his career as a racer, Aldar Beedo works as a hitman – in fact, he seems fine with the two roles intersecting, as Wan Sandage hired him to bring down Sebulba mid-race. One wonders why Sandage didn't just ask him to [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim take Sebulba out from a rooftop prior to the race]].
* RetCon: In-universe. Clegg Holdfast used his influence as a journalist for ''Podracing Quarterly'' to change the official records, showing that he had finished the race in seventh place (with a time of nearly thirty minutes!). Actually, he'd taken a blast from Sebulba's flamethrower and slammed into the wall in the second lap.
* RiceBurner: Boles Roor drives a long-outdated and badly-maintained model which he only externally modifies to give the appearance of flair. Somehow, it does hold together well enough to net him a finish, albeit in sixth place (last among the successful racers).
* SacrificialLamb: Mawhonic's exact narrative purpose is for Sebulba to bring his Podracer down in a spectacularly messy (though actually not fatal) crash within the first twenty seconds or so of the race, in order to demonstrate Sebulba's penchant for nasty play on the track.
* SdrawkcabAlias: Unless Fluggrians are a much more common species than the movies suggest, Kam Nale really should've come up with a better alias for his grand revenge quest against Aldar Beedo than "Elan Mak".
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: According to the tie-in comic ''Podracing Tales'', Gasgano isn't exactly bursting with pride about having placed second.
* SecondPlaceIsForWinners: Conversely, Ebe Endocott (who placed fourth) considers his dream of besting Sebulba to have been solidly achieved.
* ShrinkingViolet: Several sources emphasize that Toongs are by no means cowards, just incredibly shy and retiring in social interaction. In this, Ben Quadinaros represents his species well.
* SmallNameBigEgo: The now-defunct SW.com databank declares perpetually-overlooked Ebe Endocott to be "almost as good as he thinks he is". He seems to be a pretty successful up-and-comer in the sport, but his stature is leagues behind his self-assessed talent.
* TimeDissonance: Of Wan Sandage in the game ''Episode I Racer'', the announcer admiringly declares "He's been Podracing since he was two!" That’s true… but suggests a pretty misleading comparison, since the average Devlikk lifespan is ten years (see WeAreAsMayflies below). Sandage wouldn’t have been a mumbling infant when he first stepped into a pod. Still, it's impressive that he got into the sport after only two years of life experience.
* VehicularSabotage: Sebulba's not the only one to think of tampering with his enemies’ racers. A tie-in comic on the SW website revealed that Ark "Bumpy" Roose was hired by Gardulla the Hutt to sabotage Anakin's engines, but unwittingly targeted Ben Quadinaros' vehicle instead, explaining why Ben got hung up at the starting grid.
* VertebrateWithExtraLimbs: This is Gasgano's calling card: as a four-armed Xexto, he can maintain the controls of his pod with superb finesse.
* WeAreAsMayflies: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Wan Sandage, whose species, Devlikks, are not longer-lived but rather much shorter-lived than humanoids. At six years in the movie, he’s considered to be heading into old age.
* YouKilledMyFather: Intended by Elan Mak, whose crime lord father was murdered by Aldar Beedo as a professional hit. Mak vows to bring down Beedo during the Boonta Eve Classic, but [[SubvertedTrope nothing doing]]: apparently Mak could never get past Ebe Endocott and close with Beedo as he was hoping. All three finish the race.

->'''Played by:''' Ray Park (Ep.I)
->'''Voiced by:''' Peter Serafinowicz (Ep.I)

A Zabrak from Dathomir, he is Darth Sidious' first apprentice and right hand. He was trained as a Sith assassin and martial artist and wields a double-bladed lightsaber. Brutal, direct, and totally loyal to Sidious, Maul is the main antagonist of ''The Phantom Menace'', pursuing Queen Amidala on Sidious' orders, keeping the Trade Federation in line, and finally confronting Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi in a deadly lightsabre battle.

For his appearance in ''The Clone Wars'' television series, click [[Characters/StarWarsTheCloneWars here]].
----
* AbusiveParents: Let's just say that Darth Maul's childhood [[TrainingFromHell was not a very enjoyable one]].
* AwesomeButImpractical: Seriously, if you see somebody wielding such a ridiculous weapon and not covered in scars and bionic legs, either he's a [[NewMeat Sith-wannabe loonie with zero experience]] or a top-tier actual {{Badass}}. Fortunately, (or unfortunately as far as Qui-Gon is concerned) Maul is a {{Badass}}.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: All Sith Lords come with this.
* {{Badass}}
* BaldOfEvil
* BastardUnderstudy: All Sith apprentices are this by definition. Given his loyalty to Sidious, it's fair to say that Maul has more the "understudy" than the "bastard" in him.
* BlackCloak
* TheDarkSide
* DarthVaderClone: The first of the prequel trilogy's three "proto-Vaders". An utterly remorseless [[TheHeavy Heavy]] who kills the film's mentor figure and enforces Darth Sidious' will.
* DisneyVillainDeath: The two halves of his body plummet into the power core.
* TheDragon: To Darth Sidious.
* DoubleWeapon
* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: The first warrior in the ''StarWars'' franchise to openly utilize martial arts as opposed to swordsmanship alone.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Half-human-half-Zabrak, though usually called a full Zabrak.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Complete with DisneyVillainDeath.
* HornedHumanoid
* HotBlooded: By virtue of his facial expressions and body language alone.
* ImplacableMan
* InTheHood: During his first appearance.
* MasterSwordsman: His training focused on swordsmanship over Force powers, meaning that he's one of the most skilled combatants in the franchise, at a cost in raw power.
* MeaningfulName[=/=]NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Look up the definition of the word 'Maul'. Either a) To maim and mutilate or b) an extremely heavy hammer often used as a weapon. Yeah, it's one of those NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Unlike most Sith apprentices, who usually seem to just put up with their masters until they can finally betray them, Darth Maul was completely loyal to Darth Sidious. In fact, so loyal, that this loyalty almost cost him in regards to passing a Sith Initiation Test, to the extent that Palpatine had to motivate Maul by lying about cultivating an apprentice (or at least a half-truth) to get him to have enough anger to even nearly kill his master.
* ObviouslyEvil: Seriously, ''look at him''.
* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: If Expanded Universe is to be believed, Qui-Gon was ''sixty years old''. And Maul was 22.
* OneManArmy: In the EU.
* PsychoSupporter: See MyMasterRightOrWrong above.
* TheQuietOne
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Dresses in black Sith robes, has black and red tattoos all over his body, his eyes are gold-red and he wields a red double-bladed lightsaber.
* RedEyesTakeWarning[=/=]SupernaturalGoldEyes
* ShadowArchetype: To Anakin/Vader. A young, extremely skilled and powerful Sith apprentice.
* SilentAntagonist
* TattooedCrook: The black pattern on his face is tattooing, with the red being his natural skin colour.
* {{Tykebomb}}: Sidious raised him from infancy to be a remorseless assassin.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Darth Sidious.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: For all his [[EnsembleDarkhorse popularity]], Maul does precisely one thing in [[ThePhantomMenace Episode I]]: kill Qui-Gon Jinn. Except that by doing so he ensures Anakin is taught by a newly-Knighted Jedi instead of a wise Master with decades of teaching experience, which plays a huge role in his frustration in the Jedi Order and inability to deal with his phenomenal powers, which in turn plays a huge role in his FaceHeelTurn.
* UnwittingPawn: Like Count Dooku, Darth Maul was only a useful placeholder for the spot of Palpatine's apprentice while he was preparing Anakin for the role. If he hadn't been killed by Obi Wan, Palpatine would still have found a way to off him eventually.
* WeaponOfChoice: Red [[DoubleWeapon double]]-[[CoolSword bladed]] lightsaber.
* WorthyOpponent: If his journal is a fair example of his mindset, he focused on Qui-Gon Jinn as one of these almost immediately.

The Trade Federation is the primary contractor of the standard B1, but other members of the confederacy have contributed their own battle droid designs like the Hailfire droid and the spider droid. Designed to be cheap and disposable, Battle droids rely solely on force of numbers to achieve victory and lack any real situational awareness, making them an easy target for an ambush.
