[[folder:Rogue One]]
* Chirrut Îmwe, the blind spiritual monk of the Rogue team, became beloved by the fandom for his combat prowess and spirituality. While the heroes in the Star Wars universe can beat up stormtroopers, only Chirrut can boast of repeatedly curb-stomping entire squads while blind and armed with only a humble staff. Also, his reverence for the force, sense of humor, and idealism helped preserve the idealistic fantasy spirit of the franchise in the darker and more realistic film.
* K-2SO has become a fast fan-favorite due to his ServileSnarker demeanour and badass combat prowess. Many critics and fans believe he stole the show due to Alan Tudyk's fantastic performance.
* Admiral Raddus, the movie's [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute counterpart]] of Admiral Ackbar, has been quickly picking up a fan-base for basically giving the rebellion [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight a giant middle-finger]] by refusing to surrender, and sends his rebel fleet off to support Rogue One at Scarif. It got to the point [[AscendedExtra where the main ship of the Resistance is named after him]], ''[[Film/TheLastJedi 30 years after the Battle of Scariff.]]''
* The RedShirt rebel soldiers who Vader chases/tears through in his pursuit of the stolen plans make a strong impression in their brief appearance, especially Toshma Jefkin, the one who barely grabs the plans before running and screaming for the Tantive IV to launch.
* The Hammerhead corvette ''Lightmaker,'' and its captain for [[spoiler:ramming into a Star Destroyer, sending both it and another Star Destroyer careening into the shield gate.]]

Hmm, that [[Characters/StarWarsBobaFett sounds familiar]]. Having a [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic kickass theme song]] helps too. [[spoiler:This only increased with TheReveal that she and the Cloud Riders are actually a nascent rebel cell of various victims of the Empire fighting back, with Enfys herself having inherited the mask from her mother after she was killed resisting Crimson Dawn. There's also a rumor that the actress has signed on for two more films, leaving many to hope she's being set up for a bigger role in future.]]

* Although he doesn't appear all that much, the Client was a big hit with critics and fans alike, for being played to charming perfection by [[Creator/WernerHerzog one of the most experienced actors]] in the whole cast and getting some of the best lines in the whole show.
* Paz Viszla, the hulking Mandalo brawler ([[CreatorCameo voiced by Jon Favreau himself]]), for being a relative of [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Pre Vizsla]] and for being TheBigGuy in an especially badass suit of Mandalorian armor who nevertheless comes to the title character's aid [[BigDamnHeroes (along with the rest of his brothers and sisters)]] with a jetpack and a [[{{BFG}} backpack-fed minigun]].
* Omera, the beautiful frontier [[RomancingTheWidow widow]] who's curiously a crack shot with a blaster, helps take care of The Child, and [[ShipTease gets tantalizingly close to offering the Mando a peaceful life and a chance to settle down]]. Sure, everyone in the audience knows how her total ''[[TheMagnificentSevenSamurai Seven Samurai / Magnificent Seven]]'' ripoff of a debut episode is [[ButNowIMustGo going to end]], but that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to her.
* The two Scout Troopers at the start of Chapter 8 quickly endeared audiences with their hilarious banter over Moff Gideon's BadBoss tendencies, citing it as if it were [[PunchClockVillain another day at the office]], and we get treated to another demonstration of their [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy infamous poor accuracy]] when they start shooting at a can out of boredom. And keep in mind, these are the same guys that [[HeroKiller killed Kuiil]] and captured the Child at the very end of the previous episode!
* The Mandalorian Armorer is well-liked for her especially cool armor, unwavering loyalty to the code and the aura of mystery around her character. The scene where she absolutely ''[[CurbStompBattle destroys]]'' five Stormtroopers with nothing but her hammer and tongs [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome certainly didn't hurt her popularity any.]]
* Cobb Vanth, for being a [[HumbleHero humble]] [[TheSheriff sheriff]]-type character, to the point that some viewers even hoped Mando would let him keep Boba's armor. Also doesn't hurt that [[Creator/TimothyOlyphant his actor]] had previously done a great bunch of well-liked [[{{Typecasting}} sheriff roles]], and it was enough to have some fans [[SilverFox smitten]]. The fans weren't the only ones smitten either; Katee Sackhoff and Ash Crossan referred to Vanth as a "space daddy" in [[https://www.cbr.com/mandalorian-katee-sackhoff-timothy-olyphant/ an interview]], expressing their ''admiration'' for the way his hips moved in the costume and how comfortable he was in the gunslinger role.
* Frog Lady from Chapter 10 is well-liked for being an engaging alien character, the comedy of how terribly her trip with Mando goes, and her adorably loving relationship with Frog Man (also called Frog Husband by fans) depicted in Chapter 11.
* Gideon's lieutenant for being the first live-action female Imperial[[note]]Not counting the motion-captured video games or any First Order soldiers[[/note]], as well as being played by an attractive LGBT actress, which has made her immensely popular in the LGBTFanbase.

* One of the poster boys for this trope is Boba Fett due to his distinctive armor and spaceship in addition to his assertive demeanor towards ''Darth Vader'' despite getting very little screentime. His death in ''Return of the Jedi'' was eventually changed so that he survived falling into the Sarlacc pit in the expanded universe and having many EU works dedicated to him. George Lucas even stated he would've spared him had he realized how popular he would become, which might explain his family's retroactive importance in the Prequel Trilogy.
* Wedge Antilles, a MauveShirt who went from a single appearance in ''A New Hope'' to appearing throughout the Original Trilogy ''and'' considerable [[ExpandedUniverse EU]] following due to being an everyday man surviving each film's final battle. The [[Literature/XWingSeries X-Wing series]], anyone?
* A non-character example: the [[HumongousMecha All-Terrain Armored Transport walker]]. Next to the Death Star, TIE Fighter and Star Destroyer, the AT-AT is the "face" of the Empire in popular media, and the only major ground vehicle at that.
* The pilots of Rogue Squadron have become quite popular in the EU, especially Wes Jansen and Derek 'Hobbie' Klivian.
* The bounty hunters in ''The Empire Strikes Back'': Dengar, Bossk, IG-88, 4-LOM, and Zuckuss, who just stand around looking cool on the bridge of the ''Executor'' and nothing else. This was all it took to get them all extensive backstories in the Expanded Universe.
* Admiral Ackbar. A lot of people forget that he only appears in the second half of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', but a combination of his unique look, his voice, and a [[MemeticMutation three word phrase of warning]] propelled him into fan consciousness.
* Arvel Crynyd, aka "[[SmallRoleBigImpact that one nameless A-wing pilot]]" who ends up turning the tide of battle in the Rebellion's favor by [[HeroicSacrifice crashing his A-wing]] [[RammingAlwaysWorks into the bridge of]] the ''Executor.''
* Porkins is only on-screen for about a minute before being blown to smithereens, but his unique appearance made him probably the most popular background character in ''A New Hope''.
* The Cantina denizens. In the actual film they're more set pieces than characters, but they did their job in the narrative - giving the viewer an impression of just how diverse The Galaxy is - so well that most of them have received extensive backstories in the Expanded Universe. And to think, a number of them were cobbled together from old Halloween costumes!
* Many imperial officers have fan following, including:
** [[NervesOfSteel Commander Daine Jir]] for criticizing Vader in the opening in ''A New Hope''. It doesn't look like much at first, but seeing the YouHaveFailedMe moments in ''Empire Strikes Back'', that's one brave commander. Expanded info reveals not only does he come from a family that donated to the stormtrooper cloning program, but that Vader found his bluntness refreshing compared to the usual SmugSnake attitude that Imperial officers have and kept him around.
** [[OnlySaneMan General Tagge]] for actually acknowledging the threat the supposed insignificant rebels pose. Too bad nobody else listened. According to ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]'', being this cunning allowed him to escape the destruction of the Death Star [[SparedByTheAdaptation in the Disney Expanded Universe]] (in the ''Legends'' Expanded Universe, he died with the Death Star).
** [[FourStarBadass General]] [[FrontlineGeneral Maximillian Veers]], for leading the assault on Hoth with great success (in comparison to the incompetent Admiral Ozzel). [[spoiler: ''The Expanded Universe'' states that he survived the collapse of the Empire.]]
** [[BenevolentBoss Captain Needa]] for taking responsibility for losing the Falcon, then apologizing to Vader in person for it despite it being a death sentence.
** [[PunchClockVillain Admiral Piett]], the CowardlyLion in ''Empire Strikes Back'' that actually survived the film. He became such a BreakoutCharacter that he returned in the next film by popular demand, [[spoiler: where he's killed when the Super Star Destroyer is destroyed. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Thanks, fans]].]]
** Grand Moff Tarkin. He only had a big role in ''A New Hope'', but he'll always be remembered as the man who blew up Alderaan. His memorable nature has caused him to since become an AscendedExtra, with him getting a lot of backstory and characterization in the expanded universe. This is especially true in the new Expanded Universe, as works such as ''{{Literature/Tarkin}}'' to raise the stakes served to remind audiences why he's the second-most powerful known man in the Empire (and thus even Darth Vader - the Emperor's apprentice - is subordinate to him) despite [[BadassNormal not having any Force powers.]]
* Davin Felth, aka [[SpearCarrier that random stormtrooper who says "look sir, droids"]]. Mainly because the expanded universe gave him a fleshed out personality and backstory, revealing him as a NobleDemon who became a spy for the rebels after witnessing Owen and Beru being killed.
* In the same vein as the cantina patrons are the various thugs in Jabba's palace. Nearly all of them were given extensive backstories and a surprising amount of them turned out to be alive after the fall of their boss' criminal empire, complete with turning over a new leaf.
* For a race example, there are the amani (plural: amanin), aliens resembling something like humanoid worms or slugs. Only one appeared in the films (Episode VI specifically) and was barely visible due to the lighting near Solo's carbonite prison it was standing near. However, the alien's design attracted much attention from the more keen-eyed members of the fanbase and a description of the race was fleshed out quickly.

According to ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]'', being this cunning allowed him to escape the destruction of the Death Star [[SparedByTheAdaptation in the Disney Expanded Universe]] (in the ''Legends'' Expanded Universe, he died with the Death Star).
** [[FourStarBadass General]] [[FrontlineGeneral Maximillian Veers]], for leading the assault on Hoth with great success (in comparison to the incompetent Admiral Ozzel). [[spoiler: ''The Expanded Universe'' states that he survived the collapse of the Empire.

* Darth Maul is very popular with the fans. TheDragon to Sidious who delivered one of the best duels in the franchise despite only having three lines in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' and looked scary and awesome as hell in addition to having a double-bladed lightsaber. Maul is also a very efficient badass who takes on several Jedi throughout the Canon (who we've seen take on hordes of Battle Droids) and positively makes them look like amateurs. He had quite a lot of appearances in the installments that are set before ''The Phantom Menace'', but this trope really kicked off in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''. After his brother Savage Opress was featured and well-liked, Maul himself was revealed to be alive and brought back in the forth season as a very different sort of villain who dragged ''The Clone Wars'' down into the depths of NightmareFuel and never let go. As a result of his appearances in ''The Clone Wars'', his popularity with the fans increased as he received quite a few [[CryForTheDevil sympathy points]] while still remaining a monster of a villain. And ''Rebels'' just ran with it with his appearance in the series. After ''Rebels'', his popularity led to him finally returning to the big screen almost two decades later as [[spoiler: the ManBehindTheMan in the anthology film ''Solo'', many arguing that his OneSceneWonder appearance was the best moment in the film]].
* [[EvilIsSexy Aurra Sing]] is a bounty hunter who literally had about three seconds of screen time in ''The Phantom Menace'' watching the pod race. Due to the coolness of her look as a character, her surprise popularity led to her getting a lot of EU material along with a fleshed out expanded role in ''The Clone Wars'' as a surrogate mother to Boba Fett not to mention plenty else to do. She even [[spoiler:received a ShoutOut in the anthology film ''Solo'' that suggested she was KilledOffscreen by the BigBad of this film]].
* Kit Fisto is very popular with the fans, even though he only appeared a couple of times briefly in ''Attack of the Clones'' and once (before he dies) in ''Revenge of the Sith''. [[GoOutWithASmile His grin]] seems to be what does it for most people. Also the fact that his last name is "Fisto" does it for [[{{Podcast/Rifftrax}} some]].
* The non-canon ''Clone Wars'' micro-series that made Grievous popular was also what started the EnsembleDarkhorse popularity of [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Shaak Ti]]. Despite having VERY minimal screen time in the films themselves, getting only a split second of screen time in ''Attack of the Clones'' and then not even appearing in ''Revenge of the Sith'' (despite being BackForTheDead in two completely different deleted scenes), she's become popular enough to show up in a surprising amount of EU materials along with ''The Clone Wars''.
* Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? Despite the story only showing up in one scene of ''Revenge of the Sith'', Darth Plagueis is definitely one of the more beloved aspects of the Prequel Trilogy and it quickly became accepted that he was Darth Sidious's master.
* Princess Leia's adopted mother Breha Organa has had a popularity explosion on Tumblr with the release of ''Leia: Princess of Alderaan,'' with many comparing her cybernetic pulmonodes to superheroes like Iron Man.
* The clone troopers, despite being a simple RedshirtArmy, are well loved for walking shoulder to shoulder with the Jedi into dangerous situations. They also scored Woobie points for dying by the thousands at an extremely young age, albiet after being accelerated into adult bodies and mindsets.

* Despite having all of four lines of dialogue in the first film, Poe's wingmate Jessika Pava has attracted a sizable fandom among the Website/{{Tumblr}} ''Star Wars'' community, mostly on account of the extra representation she brings to the series.

* Chirrut Îmwe, the blind spiritual monk of the Rogue team, became beloved by the fandom for his combat prowess and spirituality. While the heroes in the Star Wars universe can beat up stormtroopers, only Chirrut can boast of repeatedly curb-stomping entire squads while blind and armed with only a humble staff. Also, his reverence for the force, sense of humor, and idealism helped preserve the idealistic fantasy spirit of the franchise in the darker and more realistic film.
* K-2SO has become a fast fan-favorite due to his ServileSnarker demeanour and badass combat prowess. Many critics and fans believe he stole the show due to Alan Tudyk's fantastic performance.
* Admiral Raddus, the movie's [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute counterpart]] of Admiral Ackbar, has been quickly picking up a fan-base for basically giving the rebellion [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight a giant middle-finger]] by refusing to surrender, and sends his rebel fleet off to support Rogue One at Scarif. It got to the point [[AscendedExtra where the main ship of the Resistance is named after him]], ''[[Film/TheLastJedi 30 years after the Battle of Scariff.]]''

[[spoiler:This only increased with TheReveal that she and the Cloud Riders are actually a nascent rebel cell of various victims of the Empire fighting back, with Enfys herself having inherited the mask from her mother after she was killed resisting Crimson Dawn. There's also a rumor that the actress has signed on for two more films, leaving many to hope she's being set up for a bigger role in future.]]

* Although he doesn't appear all that much, the Client was a big hit with critics and fans alike, for being played to charming perfection by [[Creator/WernerHerzog one of the most experienced actors]] in the whole cast and getting some of the best lines in the whole show.
* Paz Viszla, the hulking Mandalo brawler ([[CreatorCameo voiced by Jon Favreau himself]]), for being a relative of [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Pre Vizsla]] and for being TheBigGuy in an especially badass suit of Mandalorian armor who nevertheless comes to the title character's aid [[BigDamnHeroes (along with the rest of his brothers and sisters)]] with a jetpack and a [[{{BFG}} backpack-fed minigun]].
* Omera, the beautiful frontier [[RomancingTheWidow widow]] who's curiously a crack shot with a blaster, helps take care of The Child, and [[ShipTease gets tantalizingly close to offering the Mando a peaceful life and a chance to settle down]]. Sure, everyone in the audience knows how her total ''[[TheMagnificentSevenSamurai Seven Samurai / Magnificent Seven]]'' ripoff of a debut episode is [[ButNowIMustGo going to end]], but that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to her.
* The two Scout Troopers at the start of Chapter 8 quickly endeared audiences with their hilarious banter over Moff Gideon's BadBoss tendencies, citing it as if it were [[PunchClockVillain another day at the office]], and we get treated to another demonstration of their [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy infamous poor accuracy]] when they start shooting at a can out of boredom. And keep in mind, these are the same guys that [[HeroKiller killed Kuiil]] and captured the Child at the very end of the previous episode!
* The Mandalorian Armorer is well-liked for her especially cool armor, unwavering loyalty to the code and the aura of mystery around her character. The scene where she absolutely ''[[CurbStompBattle destroys]]'' five Stormtroopers with nothing but her hammer and tongs [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome certainly didn't hurt her popularity any.]]
* Cobb Vanth, for being a [[HumbleHero humble]] [[TheSheriff sheriff]]-type character, to the point that some viewers even hoped Mando would let him keep Boba's armor. Also doesn't hurt that [[Creator/TimothyOlyphant his actor]] had previously done a great bunch of well-liked [[{{Typecasting}} sheriff roles]], and it was enough to have some fans [[SilverFox smitten]]. The fans weren't the only ones smitten either; Katee Sackhoff and Ash Crossan referred to Vanth as a "space daddy" in [[https://www.cbr.com/mandalorian-katee-sackhoff-timothy-olyphant/ an interview]], expressing their ''admiration'' for the way his hips moved in the costume and how comfortable he was in the gunslinger role.
* Frog Lady from Chapter 10 is well-liked for being an engaging alien character, the comedy of how terribly her trip with Mando goes, and her adorably loving relationship with Frog Man (also called Frog Husband by fans) depicted in Chapter 11.
* Gideon's lieutenant for being the first live-action female Imperial[[note]]Not counting the motion-captured video games or any First Order soldiers[[/note]], as well as being played by an attractive LGBT actress, which has made her immensely popular in the LGBTFanbase.

* A lot of people have really gravitated towards Enfys Nest, mostly due to being a mysterious yet oddly alluring figure and having a really cool-looking costume.

[[spoiler:This only increased with TheReveal that she and the Cloud Riders are actually a nascent rebel cell of various victims of the Empire fighting back, with Enfys herself having inherited the mask from her mother after she was killed resisting Crimson Dawn.

His death in ''Return of the Jedi'' was eventually changed so that he survived falling into the Sarlacc pit in the expanded universe and having many EU works dedicated to him. George Lucas even stated he would've spared him had he realized how popular he would become, which might explain his family's retroactive importance in the Prequel Trilogy.
